two suggestions; one that the United States
coin a special dollar for use in the islands
of the same weight and fneness of the
Mexican dollar which shall take its chance
with the fiuctuation of the market. The
other suggestion is that we coin an in
sular dollar which we undertake to re-
deem in gold at so cents. He inclines,. as
does the secretary of the treasury, toward
the second course.
The campaign of the United States troops
in China is treated at length in the report.
The secretary reviews in detail the rapid
and effective steps by which the American
forces were transferred in a great emer-
gency from the Philippines and from this
country to Taku and thence how they
forced their way to Picking. He includes
all the interesting dispatches passed be-
tween General Chaffee and the War De-
during that period, which were
published by the department from time TO
time, and speaks in terms of praise of the
splendid conduct of the troops and of
their able officers.
Touching Cuba, the report says the con-
of affairs there during the year has
been a continuance of the process of aid
ing the Cuban people in the development
of the Cuban government in such a way
that when fully organized IL shall be stable
and efficient. This has been done by guild

good condition. when a complete Cuban
administrator finally assumes control of the
government of the island. The report
sketches the various steps in the creation
of the government down TO the gathering
of the constitutional convention which is
now in session.
Treating of the subject of education,
Secretary Root speaks with pride of the
development of the primary branches,
showing that in the first six months of
the calendar year the number Of school
rooms was increased from 635 to $3.50 and
the enrolment of scholars ran up from
81, 995 TO 143, 120.
The report also tells how the charities of
the island have been brought into sys-
tematic condition and the hospitals i'm.

In concluding his remarks as TO Cuba he
says: "Only a doubt as TO the stability of
the future government and uncertainty
as to the continuance of a market for
her products retards the influx of capital,
and the development Of Cuba's extraordi-
nary resources. IL is TO be hoped the wise
action of the present constitutional con-

The secretary says that the military re-
q~uirements in the Philippines may be
summed up as follows: For the immediate
future about $1,000 men. This number may
be progressively decreased by the gradual
disappearance of real insurrection and the
restoration OF order and by the substitu-

MISSIONARIES ARE BITTER.


PICKING, Dec. 3.-All the foreign en-
voys nave now heard from their govern
ments regarding the joint note to the
Chinese plenipotentiaries and a meeting
will be held tomorrow. The ENJOYS are
not communicative, but enough is known
with reference to the objections of diff
ferent governments to make il seem
doubtful that the meeting will nave a
satisfactory conclusion. Prince Ching and
Ii Hung Chang both say that they are
anxiously awaiting the demands of the
powers. They declare that China desires
peace at any price commensurate with the
dignity of an independent nation, but they
point out that so long as a large for
eign army occupies the province of Chilli
the problem will be harder TO solve.
The missionaries and others who went
through the siege protest bitterly against
any suggestion of leniency. They urge
particularly that those who are high in
office and who were really responsible for
the outrages to foreigners should be exc
cuted. And they insist also that a suff-
Gent force should be kept in China TO
guarantee order and to keep foreigners
Independent of the Chinese, declaring that
if this is not done a repetition of the
trouble Will occur.
