Macarthur will issue a proclamation
warning the inhabitants Of the archi-
pelago that hereafter strict compliance
with the laws of war will be required
OF non combatantS as we'll as COM
batants. The proclamation will set
forth the principal laws of war. 1t will
refer 10 recent proclamations issued
by insurgent commanders threatening
natives who are friendly TO the Amer
lean forces and also to the orders is
sued to their men to kidnap and as
sassinate residents of towns occupied
by Americans. The insurgent leaders
continued will put an end TO the pos
s'bility of their resuming normal civic
relations and will make them fugitive
criminals.
Residents of places occupied by
Americans will be notified that COM
pliance with the demands of the
enemy will create a presumption that
such acts are voluntary and malicious
They will also be notified that pleas
OF intimidation will rarely be accepted
and that where secret committees are
permitted to exist in behalf of the in
surgents even well disposed persons
Will be exposed TO the danger of being
tried as traitors.
The proclamation will say that It's
warnings and requirements are 10 ap-
ply with special force TO Manila, the

Newspapers will be warned against
publishing sedition and the prociama-
ton Will declare that the rebels who

not entitled 10 the privileges of pris-
oners OF war, adding that the fact that
they have not hitherto been held re-
sponsible is evidence of the solicitude
Of the United States to avoid the APP
pearance OF harshness."
The proclamation will clearly dis
avow any recognition of technical bel
ligerency.
The Taft commission is still at work

that the return of the volunteers viii

(Ry Telegraph to Vlrginian Pilot)
Washington. Dec. l9,-The Board on
Naval Construction today completed ITS
report BY todays arrangement,
which will be submitted 10 Secretary
Long tomorrow the Pacific coast gets
only two ships. both armored cruisers,
one sheathed and the other unsheathed,
and these go TO the same bidder. the
Union iron Works. Cramp holds on 10
the number allotted him yesterday, one
sheathed cruiser, one unsheathed crui-
ser and one battleShip. Newport News
also maintains her quota at yesterdays
standing. one sheathed cruiser. one un-
sheathed cruiser ant one sheathed bat
tleship. The Fore River Iron Works,
of Quincy, Mass, are scheduled for two
unsheathed battleships and Bath is set
down for one sheathed battleship.
This arrangement is still subject to
change. In the first place the board
suggests that where the bid of any
OF the firms ramed exceeds the limit
of the cost of ,hs ship as fixed by Con-
gress after deduoting sums for abso-
luteiy necessary equipment that firm
else award will be made elsewhere. The
bidders also are required to restore
most OF the important items they have
cut out of the specifications, in case
these exceed I'm the aggregate 100000
for one ship. 1t is matter of conjec
ture whether the bidders are willing
to meet either or both of these condi-
lions. There also are other complexi-
ties arising from trouble as to the eX-
sent of Congress In making n geogra-
phical disposition of the contracts.

SULPHUR FOR GRIP AND RHEU-

Tyler Andrews. of Dorchester. Mass,
writes to Our Dumb Animals as fol-
lows on the use of sulphur for grip and
rheumatism:
Ten years ago I was taken with Ia
grippe. and 1t lef- me with the rheuma-
tism. During my sickness l suffered
everything.
one day read an article In Our
Dumb Animals. regarding sulphur,
which stated that the employees in tho
Byam match factory. who used and
worked over sulphur nearly all of the
time. had never been attacked with the
grip. | thought this over and decided
to take sulphur regularly two or three
times q week. and l had pair OF sui
phur soles made which wore in nv
shoes, and carried some pads in my
pockets made OF sulphur. Gradually
the rheumatism all left me and now T
am entirely free from pain, and have
been for the past few years. Sulphur
did the work. Sssl9
