CLEVELAND, O., October 12.-Cleye-
land soldiers, en- route home from the
Philippines, are stranded in San Fran
cisco not having enough money to
bring them the remainer of their long
journey.
To-day Mayor Farley received the
following telegram from San Fran:

not you arrange for trains. Unless you

Farley referred the message to the
military committee of the chamber of
commerce, and wired to the soldiers
that he had done So He told the boys
there was no public fund which he
could use in their behalf. Nobody

The war department disowns any re-
sponsibility for the standing of the
Cleveland soldiers at San Francisco
One of the war department officials said
to-day, that Congressman Burton and
the Cleveland mothers who urged the
Immediate discharge of the Cleveland
men were entirely to blame.
Discharged members of the 14th reg
iment were paid off in Manila instead
of at San Francisco as had been expect
ed. An explanation of why they were
paid off in Manila and not in San Fran
cisco was given to-day by Edward
Johnson, of A Brown street, who has
just returned from the Philippines. He
was private in company C, of the 18th
infantry: THE officers at Manila, !"
Brown said, were angry because the
boys refused to re-enlist. It|was a part
Of General Otis's scheme to have the
boys discharged and paid off at Ma
Mia and then keep them there until they
ran out Of money, thereby forcing them
to re-enter for 2 years longer or starve.
That's the whole scheme.
"Otis kept the boys of the 14th and
23rd infantry, fourth calvary and third
artillery at Manila for five weeks after
they were discharged, and by that time
they were all penniless. Many of the
poor fellows had to take in washing and
become bottblacks. They were given
no travel pay because they went home
on transports.

Expansion and Anti Expansion

'To all our readers we counsel an even
temper, an open mind a frank recognition
of the fact that there are honest, sincere,
patriotic Americans on both sides of this
Philippine question, and that it cannot be
settled by calling each other names or
imputing to each other base motives. -
THE Outlook.
This advice we accept ind echo. The
Free Press, indeed, has from tho first pro-
ceeded upon the theory that there were
two sides 10 the Philippine question, and
that it was one on which honest and pa
tr.otic men might differ. Our columns
have been impartially open to correspond
ents and utterances on the opposite sides.
The views OF Mr.. Edmunds and Mr.. Bar
rett have had equal space In our paper,
and no important facts on either side have
been withheld from our readers.
The question Is one on which every citi-
zen should form an intelligent judgment
and this paper has not tried to conceal its
opinions upon It, We hold that Dewey did
the right thing, in tho best way. when he
sailed from Hong Kong 10 Manila and
smashed the Spanish fleet; and that our
government did the right thing when II

The School for Health Officers

The success of the health officers school
held in this city last week under the au-
spices of the State Board of Health has
been beyond anything anticipated by the
members of the board or by Director ].
II. Linsley Of the State Labora tory, who
had the project more directly in charge
The attendance has been large, both on
the part of health officers OF whom
there were eighty present, and the medi-
cal profession generally, and the results
pan not fail to make themselves manifest
throughout the State in the adoption of
more efficient methods of sanitation and
in the more intelligent application of the
regulations now in force.
The school of health officers has been
one of the most valuable meetings, from
the public point of view, ever held la our
State The papers and discussions were,
as our readers have seen, of high interest
and value. and it cannot be doubted that
the meeting will have results of great
importance to the public health The first
convention of it's kind to be held in any
State, it will not he the last; and DIR.
Linsley and all concerned are to be con-
graduated on its success.
Those who have attended the health Of
ficers' school have expressed themselves as
highly pleased with the work and equip
ment Of the State Labora tory. and not a
few have given words to their surprise
over the gratifying degree of progress
made during the short period Of the insti-
tution's existence The consumma tion
Of this project has placed Vermont in the
very front rank OF States as regards the
adoption of measures for the promotion
of the health of the' people; and the man
ner in which the citizens of the State are
making uso of the free facilities afforded
by the laboratory show that its work is

Misquotation of Dewey.

The Hon. John Barrett, eX-United States
Minister to Siam, has been at the Pa
vilon for the past two days. A Journal re-
porter called on Mr.. Rarrett Tuesday
evening to learn his opinion of the state
ments sent 20 the Boston Transcript from
Toxic, Japan. by the Rev. Clay McC'auley.
MIR. McCauey stated in substance that
Gen. Otis and all the officers under him
were opposed TO the war in the Philip
pines. and that Admiral Dewey himself
had said that rather than wage a war of
aggression against the Philippines he
would up anchor and get out of the har-
Dor of Manila. Mr.. Barrett said: Right at
the start and from the shoulder. with all
due respect to the Rev. Clay McCauley, I
don't believe word of 1t. | am very sure
that neither Admiral Dewey nor Gen.
Otis ever said any such thing, and when
] am asked regarding it / am willing to
stake my reputation as truthteller by
saving that they never made any such
statements, and further. that when asked
regarding the matter, as they surely Will
be. they will say they never said any such
thing.
| imagine the reverend gentleman q
tatements came in this way: He called O.,
Admiral Dewey, and did most Of the talk
| ng. McCauey interpreted the admiral as
saying what was in his own brain. He
bought out what he wanted the admiral
to say and then honestly thought he said
1t. | know Dewey wanted to prevent fight
ing, but l also know that neither he roT
Gen. Otis ever said what the Rev. Clay
McCauley puts in their mouths Mont
eplier Journal.
1t is not supposable that Admiral Dewey
was correctly quoted by Hr. McCauley. In
October last Dewey wrote over his own
signature to President Brown Of Norwich
University.
81 trust that the entire archipelago will
be retained by the United States Any
other arrangement will lead to no end Of
trouble" OF course the admiral is in favor
of whatever is necessary for the
retention of the Philippines. In any case
as a loyal officer of the United States anc
as one who is careful what he says. he
would not call in question the policy de
termined on by his government. Least o
all 1t is possible that he could have de
clared that he would disobey his orders Of

An Unsatisfactory BANKRUPTCY Law.

Those of our readers who have closely
watched the list OF petitions in bankrupt
|cy published In the newspapers almost
daily do not need to be told that people
are taking advantage OF the bankruptcy
aw to degree altogether unexpected in
order to secure a release from the pay
ment of obligations. within a year thou
sands Of debtors in different states have
passed through bankruptcy under the new
aw, and have left ;heir creditors in many
instances high and dry.
As the law stands there seems 10 be no
way of barring the progress OF those who
desire to pass through bankruptcy. Ref
erees, while feeling strongly the injustice
involved in the granting of petitions in
many instances, find no liberty under the
law to refuse the petition. and except in
rare cases of conspicuously evident injus-
tice, the petitions are granted 1t is re-
ported that the extent to which insolvent
debtors have nocked into the bankruptcy
courts has led referees in some instances
to take the liberty to refuse appeals
where the petitioners were shown to have
resorted to tricks evidently fraudulent for
the purpose of cheating their creditors.
such as selling out their stocks of goods
and claiming to have lost the money. and
other devices Of similar character
| Merchants and other classes of business
men are nanifestly the chief sufferers
rem the abuse of the bankruptcy law now
in force. and judging from tho comments
made in different directions the chances
are that the commercial world will de-
mand of the next Congress, which meets in
December, a material modification of the
act in question. 1t would undoubtedly be
well TO place greater powers of discretion
! in the hands of those charged with the
handling of these cases. but If this is not
deemed advisable limitations should GER
tainly be placed on the possibility of es-
Gaping the discharge of obligations no
matter what the circumstances.

No: that doesn't necessarily mean con-
sumption, but it means that the system
is being steadily undermined it is
losing force and vitality; it is being
tainted with bilious poisons that the liver
