A SOLDIERS POINT OF VIEW.
An officer Now In the Philippines
Writes of the Situation

An Army officer on duty at the War De-
partment has received the following letter
from a brother officer in Manila:
Il have been most fortunate in my as
signment here, and the experience will
prove most valuable. 1t has kept me go
ing day and night. but l have stood 1t so
far and have not missed a day on account
of sickness or other cause. The Eighth
Army Corps is grand command; no bet
ter was ever organized. 1t is thoroughly
well supplied, equipped, instructed. and
disciplined and for fighting efficiency was
rarely equaled and never excelled. Our
volunteers are crackajacks, mostly all
frontiersmen, good shots. and well Injured
to hardships. We shall all regret their
departure very much when the time comes
to send them home. Harmony and good
fellowship reign throughout the entire
command each organization proud of it,
self and its neighbors. We have no starved
or neglected soldiers and no embalmed
beef. thank God. Men and officers have
been under a great strain. They have
been fighting constantly day and night
without cessation, since February 4, and
during that entire period none have known
what 1t is to undress.
"The insurgent army is demoralized and
very much scattered. II has been fright

eight thousand. These are their own fig

Macarthur has done magnificent work.
He is a fine soldier and is entitled to any
thing his country can give him. Lawton
commands the other division, as you know.
and he also has done fine work. The ad
vance of MacArthurs division from Ma

hope Macarthur will receive the reward
his work so richly merits. The Adjutant
Generals Department can justly feel proud
of him. Ii looks as though the bottom
might drop out of the rebellion at any mo-
ment, though these little devils are per-
sistent and seem bent on keeping the ball
rolling They are undoubtedly hard pressed
for grub and ammunition, and sooner or
later must give in.

Against the protest of the newspaper cor
respondents we have a four days old des-
patch from the DENLY Commission, only
released yesterday. which informs us that
seven municipal governments have been
established in Luzon. with accomplished
swimmers in charge. We are thus entirely
re-established in the conviction that Otis
is the man for the place, that Macarthur
is staying at San Fernando because it is
pleasant and wet watering place, and that
the rebels will not make any serious fu
ture stand in the southern provinces"
Does it ever occur to Mr.. Mckinley that
the time for peace commissioners would be
after the surrender of the Tagals?

We might hesitate to make the state
1nent on our own account, but it is inter-
esting to note that the London Times" in
its leading editorial yesterday said:
Alger has run the War Office as n political
machine. Military posts have been bestowed
upon political friends without regard TO fitness
or the interests OF the country. Dishonesty and
corruption have been rampant wherever there was
public money 10 be handled
American soldiers were killed by thousands on
American soil by such agencies as embalmed beef
and scandalous neglect Of elementary sanitation
As the head is so expect subordinates 10 be.
They were chosen without regard to fitness,
but with every regard TO political service. Nat
urally they act the politicians they are rather
than as soldiers and administrators which they
are not Tie new imperial policy OF the United
States is thus discredited by association with a
system Of more than common corruptness.
Mckinley for some reason other, is incapable
of ridding himself OF the incubus of his Secretary
who, evidently regarding himself as having the
President in his pocket, sereney defes the public
indignation that has been aroused by his misman-
agement.
So the facts have sailed over the water.

tion are as well known in London as in

AIyer'S Dilemma.

(From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.l
Alger is at present in an embarrassing position.
II he resigns without a request from the Presi-
dent il will be virtually an admission that he is
unfit for the place, as has been charged by his
enemies. or that he has been snubbed by the
President and retires in disgust, while the Pres
idcnt can claim that Alger acted unadvisedly and
is mistaken in supposng him unfFiendly.
If the President asks him to retire, Alger can
then defend himself before the people and claim
that he was no more at fault than his chief, but
has been made scapegoat for the sins and short
comings OF the Administration
Perhaps that is what is feared, and hence the
reluctance to openly break with the man from
Michigan.

Japan,s New status.

(From the New York Commercial Advertiscr.)
In her new status, Japan can control her own
trade. which has been ovcishadowed heretofore by
the treaty ports She can form her own trade
policy, heretofore dictated to her, as to China
She can declare for free trade protection, and
the world will have To submit to her decision.
1t remains to be seen Just what she will do and
Just how it will affect the trade OF other nations
with her. 1t would be queer if greater obstruc-
tion to commerce were found in Japan modern
and civilized than in Japan barharous and me
dieval Perhaps, after all. civilization depends
on the point Of view.

Strikes.
Ernn the Hartford cnmrnnt \

One way TO check the rising tide of prosperity
throughout the country is to strike and bring con-
fusion into business. II is a losing business as
rule, and, when the trouble is over, there is
nearly always regret all around that it ever oc-
CURED. The strike that began in Brooklyn yes
terday on the street railroads is likely to be a
serious and unfortunate affair all through. The
newspapers say openly that it has been agitated
in the interests of the element in Wall Street that
wants to depress the stocks. The charge made
in cold blood is a deep condemnation of the whole
gang OF speculators who trade there on the in
dustry of others

Administration people complain that the

spokesmen for the Administration declared
it to be quite unnecessary, as the Admins
tration had no intention of granting any
franchises. and could not, under the terms

there is not a Foraker resolution in the
way of Algerian operations in Porto Rico

Much has been said about the loss of life
attending the war and the invasion of Cuba by
the Americans; but the mission OF the United
States has been TO save life. The war; to begin

had starved 100, 900 Cubans to death and was be-
