CANNED ROAST BEEF
Philippine Army to De Sup.
piled With 1t.
FRESH HEAT A NECESSITY


Washington, April 20. War depart.
ment officials have been compelled 10
resort TO the use Of canned roast beef
for the subsistence OF the army in the
Philippines. This is due to the fact
that 1t is absolutely essential that the
soldiers shall be served with fresh meat
and because OF the impossibility Of pro-
viding refrigerator beef or cattle on the
hoof under existing conditions. When
the bulk OF the army was located at the
seashore and at easily accessible points
there was no difficulty in providing
them with fresh meats, but conditions
have now changed, and the army is
scatteretd among 100 points in various
parts Of the archipelago, great many
Of them at considerable distance from
the nearest shipping point. There are
no cattle available, and the refriger,
ated beef which has heretofore formed
the principal basis Of subsistence for
the troops cannot be preserved in good
condition long enough to reach many
Of the inland posts. Consequently 1t
became necessary TO look for some suit.
able substitute, and the American
canned roast beef was the only thin
found to meet the requirements.
The suggestions for its use came
originally from the subsistence officers
in the Philippines, and the chief com.
missary officer at Manila recently ca
bled a requisition for an immediate de-
livery OF about 1000 cans of roast
beef and subsequent deliveries at the
rate of about $4,000 cans a monte
Acting Comimssary-General Webster
presented the matter to the secretary
Of war with strong Endorsement OF
the proposition. As measure OF ex-
treme caution. however, Secretary Root
decided to get personal opinion from
Major General Otis before taking final
action. A cable message OF inquiry
was forwarded at once, and General
Otis reply was received TODAY. It's
text was not made public, but its gen.
eral character may be clearly inferred
from the fact that instructions have
been sent TO Colonel Alexander, the
commissary officer at Chicago. to ar
range for the immediate dispatch of q
large quantity of roast beef TO San
Francisco for shipment to Manila by
the first available steamer. Special
precaution will be taken to secure the
best quality of beef and to insure its
proper care and preservation at all
stages of its long journey to the Philip.

DAMAGE BY FOREST FIRES.
Much Timber Destroyed and Probably
Lives Lost,

Winnipeg, Man, April 24.-Exag-
gerated reports of heavy loss of life by
forest fires in the southeastern portion
of the province are denied. A special
train from the scene of the confagra-
tion today brings news that much val
liable wood and timber has been de-
stroyed, but there has been no loss of
life. Another story says:
Fires along the southeastern region
are still raging. The entrapped spe-
cial train succeeded in breaking through
the flames, and arrived this morning.
Brought in with it were several strag-
gleis, found in a desperate condition
near Vassar. These fugitives lost
everything. All tell thrilling stories
Of escape from death.
Besides immense quantities of lum-
Der and wood, two large numbering out
fits are known to be burned. The driv-
ers and bushmen have scattered in all
directions, and out of 200 only about
30 are known to have reached place
of safety. The fatalities will not be
known until the contractors can call
the roll of their men. The total loss
is estimated at 81 900, ,000."

MANY REBELS KILLED
A Bloody Week on the Island
of Luzon.
AMERICAN CASUALTIES WERE 25
General Pillars Band Again at Work
and Gave San Miguel Garrison
Three-Hour Fight.

Manila, April 24.--Last week was
one Of the bloodiest of the war since
the first days fighting around Manila,
authentic reports, mostly official, show
ing total OF 378 Filipinos killed, IL
officers and 244 men captured, and
many more wounded. The number
wounded is hardly guessable. Consid-
ering that the Filipinos entirely Jack
hospital facilities, a great majority Of
the wounded will die. Probably the
weeks work finished 1000 insurgents.
The American loss was nine killed and
16 wounded. Two sergeants and one
private were killed in ambushes, while
escorting provision trains.
The insurgents have been aggressive
in almost every province Of Luzon.
General Piodel Pillars band, numbering
800, which was out Of sight for three
months, the leader being reported
killed, has reappeared in its old field
about San MIGUEL. Pillar is supposed
to be again in command. He gave the
American garrison at San MIGUEL, con-
sisting of three companies OF the Thirty
fifth infantry, with Gatling, three
hours fighting, during night attack.
The loss OF the insurgents in this en-
gagement is not included in the forego.
ing total, as they removed their dead
and wounded, but presumably it was
considerable.
Twenty-Five Filipinos in the province
of Santangas attacked Lieutenant
Wende, who, with eight men, was
scouting lear San Jose. The lieuten-
ant and five men were wounded. and
one private was killed.
Sergeant Ledonius, of the Thirty.fifth
infantry, was badly wounded in an
ambush near Baliuag. Lieutenant
Batch, Of the Thirty infantry,
with 20 men, had five hours fight
with 400 insurgents in the Nueva
Cacoras district. Twenty of the in
surgents were killed.
Colonel Smith, of the Seventeenth
infantry, who captured General Mon
tenegro and brought him 10 Manila, is
in the isolation hospital, suffering from
smallpox. Colonel Smiths command
captured $50 officers and men with
Montenegro. Montenegro, who was
formerly one Of the most dapper off,
GERS in the Filipino army, looks worn
and haggard. He says he led terrible
life for months, and he has offered to
return to the north with Colonel Smith,
to endeavor to persuade his former COM
rades OF the uselessness OF opposing the
Americans.
One hundred escaped Spanish pris-
oners from the province of South Luzon
have arrived at Manila. The insur-
gents have 400 more Spanish prisoners
in that district. Recently the Fill
pinos destroyed several rods of the rail-
road line near Panique, in an unsuc-
cessful attempt to wreck train.

WESTERN GOVERNORS.
Protest Against the Leasing OF Public
Arid Lands.


Salt Lake, April 23.---Goyernor Lee.
Of South Dakota, and Governor Poyn-
ter, arrived today and took part in the
proceedings OF the governors Of West
ern states, who have met TO discuss
subjects Of interest to this section.
After general discussion. the COM
mittee appointed to formulate resolu-
tions against the leasing OF public arid
lands by the general government and
demanding the cession OF such lands to
the several states should any change In
the present system be made, reported
the following. which we're adopted:
Resolved, That the people Of the
states here represented are opposed abb
solutely to any legislation or any action
of any kind looking to, or having for its
object, the leasing Of the public lands
of the United States by the general
government or any angency thereof.
Resolved, second, That the present
laws providing for the control, man
agement and disposal Of the public arid
lands OF the United States are best
adapted to the needs and requirements
OF the country, and conducive to the
settlement and occupancy thereof by
bona fide settlers.
Resolved, third, That II It shall be
found that the present laws affecting
the arid lands are not satisfactory to
the congress of the United States. then
we favor cession OF the said arid lands
to the several states wherein they are
situated under such terms and condi-
tions as will guarantee the benefits OF
the free homestead laws to the people
of the United States, and that will pre-
vent said lands either by fee simple
title. or by the leasing thereof from
passing into the possession or control
OF large companies, syndicates, copror-
ations or wealthy individuals in large
quantities, TO the exclusion Of others,
and under such conditions that the sew
eral states may have the income aris-
ing from said lands to be devoted to
the reclamation and improvement
thereof for settlement bona fde citi-
zens."
Governor Lee, Of South Dakota, was
the only one who opposed the resolution.
His opposition was simply because he
believed that the demand for cession
to the states should be put first. A
form OF letters to be sent out to other
governors was adopted.

CHAPTER <.

Now will 1 speak again, o Lord. and
will not be silent; 1 will say in the
hearing of my God and my King who is
on high:
oh, how great is the abundance of
thy sweetness, o Lord, which Thou hast
hidden for those that fear Thee.
But what art Thou to those that serve
Thee with their whole heart?
Unseekable, indeed, is the sweetness
of Thy contemplation, which Thou be-
stowest ON those that love Thee
In this most of all hast Thou showed
me the sweetness of Thy love, THAT
when I had no being Thou didst make
me. And when 1 was straying far from
Thee. Thou broughtest me back again.
that [ might serve Thee; and Thou hast
commanded me to love Thee.
2. O. Fountain of everlasting love,
what shall say of Thee?
How can 1 ever forget Thee, who hast
vouchsafed to remember me, even after
that 1 was corrupted and was lost?
Beyond all hope hast Thou showed
mercy to Thy servant; and beyond all
desert hast Thou manifested Thy grace
and friendship.
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1900-05-12

What return shall ! make to Thee
for this favor? For it is not granted to
all to forsake all things. to renounce
the world, and to assume the monastic
life.
Is it much that should serve Thee,
whom the whole creation is bound to
serve?
1t ought not to seem much to me to
serve Thee; but this rather doth ap-
pear great and wonderful to me that
Thou vouchsafest to receive one so
WretChed and unworthy for Thy ser
want, and to unite him to Thy Beloved.
2 Behold all things are Thine which
1 have, and with which 1 serve Thee.
And yet contrarywise Thou rather
servest me than 1 Thee.
10. Heaven and earth. which Thou
hast created for the service of man,
stand prepared, and daily perform
whatsoever Thou hast commanded.
And this is but little; for Thou hast
also created and appointed angels for
the service Of man.
But what transcendeth all this is,
that Thou Thyself hast vouchsafed to
serve man, and hast promised that
Thou wilt give him Thysef.
f. What shah give Thee for all these
thousands favors? Would that I could
serve Thee all me days Of my life.
WOuIQ JOdL l. were dDlG5 NCIG II OGG
for one day, to render Thee worthy OF
all service, of all honor, and of eternal
praise.
Thou art truly my Lord, and am
Thy poor servant, who am bound with
all my strength to serve Thee and
ought never to grow weary of praisdnE
Thee
This is my will, this is my desire; and
whatever is wanting in me do Thou
vouchsafe to supply.
s. 1t is a great honor, a great glory to
serve Thee, and to despise all things
for Thee.
For they who willingly subject them
selves to Thy most holy service shall
have great grace.
They shall experience the most sweet
consolation Of the Holy Spirit, who, for
the love of Thee, have cast away all
carnal delight.
They shall gain great Freedom Of en1nd
who, for Thy name, enter upon tine
narrow way, and relinquish all worldly
care.
