CHANGE MADE BY ROOT.
New Military Division Created Embracing
the Phillprine Arclinelaro

New Military Division Created Embracing
the Philippine Archipelago.
WASHINGTON, March 29,-Secretary
Root has taken a step long contem-
plated in the administration of the Phil
ippines by directing the creation of an
entirely new military division to be
known ms the division of the Pacific,
embracing all the Philippine archipel-
ago. The division in turn is to be
divided into four military departments
rs follows: The department. of North
ern Luzon, commanded by General
Mac Arthur; the department of South
ern Luzon, commanded by General
Bates; the department. Of the Visayas,
commanded by General Hughes, and
the department. of Mindanao and Jolo,
commanded by General Kobbe.
Major General Otis will retain the su-
preme command over these departments
as division commander, occupying
toward them a position corresponding
closely to that occupied by General
Miles toward the military departments
in the United States. 1t is said at the
war department. that the purpose of the
new order of things is to free General
Otis of the many minor details incident
to the administration of the islands,
leaving him at liberty to devote more
time to the larger questions of policy
and civil administration.

SENATORS LEAVE CUBA.

Committee Has Conferred With Many
Representative Residents.
HAVANA, March 29.-The Dolphin has
left for the United States carrying the
members Of the senate Cuban commit
tee. The senators all say they will not
talk for publication until after they
have presented their reports, which
they will do shortly. They assert,
however, that they came with certain
well developed plans for gathering in
formation and have carried these out
wherever they have gone. They have
seen in private most of the representa-
tive Cubans and have secured their
views and opinions, very few of which
have been published, as in most in
stances the consultations have been re-
garded as confidential.
Senators Butler and Pettigrew have
arrived here. They say they are merely
paying visit of personal curiosity.

CATHOLIC SCHOOL QUESTION.

Winnipeg Board Asked to Take Over tho
Parochial Schools.
WINNIPEG, March 29.-At a meeting
cf Winnipeg public school board dele
cation appeared from the Catholic sepa-
rate schools and asked that the public
board take over the Catholic schools.
The Catholics of Winnipeg have for
almost ten years past borne their portion
Of taxation for the erection and main
tenance of Winnipeg public schools,
from which for conscientious reasons
they are unable to derive any benefit
for education of their children and they
deem this unfair. If the request be re-.
fused it will probably mean the reopen
ing Of the entire school question, over
which there was so much hard feeling
several years ago.

WILL NOT INTERFERE.

But President Mckinley viii Recognise
Republicans as De Facto Officials.
WASHINGTON, March 29-President
Mckinley has informed Kentucky Re
publicans that while he cannot interfere.
in Kentucky affairs to the extent of dis
arming the militia of either faction, he
is willing, SO far as he can legitimately
do SO, to recognize the Republican off,
cials of that state as de facto officers.
He told them in the same connection
that he would give directions that mail
addr< ;sed to an official by title only, as
to "the governor" or ''the secretary of
state" should be delivered to the Re-
pubicans holding those offices and not
to the Democrats.

STORY OF CULTON
Adds Some Information in the Kentucky
Cases.

Adds Some Information in the Kentucky
FRANKFORT, KY, March 29.-There
were some startling developments in the
Goebel assassination case during the
day. In the afternoon w. H. Culton,
who waived examination and who was
held over to the circuit court, went to,
the Capitol hotel, where he was in con-
ference with the attorneys for the pros
ecution for over two hours. He was ac-
companied by his brother-in-law, E. E.
Hogg, who is also his attorney. It was
reported at the time that Culton had
made some kind of confession and
later it developed that the information
gained was not at all sweeping in char
acter as it was at first reported. Cul-
toms friends who are in his confidence
state that his statement was not in the
nature of a confession, but they admit
that he has given the prosecution such
evidence as he had and which hereto.
fore had not come out. The conference
Between Culton and the Attorneys
took place in the room of Colonel T: @.
Campbell, and there were present be-
sides Mr.. Culton and Campbell, Com
monwealth Attorney Franklin, County
Attorney Polsgrove, Rev. Mr.. Culton,
father Of the prisoner, and E. E. Hogg,
brother-in-law. While this was going
on Henry E. Youtzey, the auditors
clerk who was arrested at noon and
locked up in Jail charged with being an
accessory, sent note to Colonel Camp
bell and the latter visited him at the
Jail and was closeted with him for some
time. Youtzey, it is said, stoutly main
tanned not only his own innocence but
said he stood ready all the time, as he
does now, to tell all he knows. Yout-
zey's attorneys say they will go before
Judge Moore and ask an immediate ex-
amining trial. One Of the leaders in
the prosecution said:
"Youtzey told us nothing that we did
not know already"

FEAT OF THE WAR.

CoNn.lntlant Olivier Appears to Have
Gotten Past the British Safely.
LONDON, March 2S.-The Beers are
having a little good luck and are show
ing some boldness again, as q raiding
party estimated at 400 is believed by the
British forces at Warrenton to have
crossed the Kimberley and Bloemfon-
tein wagon road Monday and to have
headed for Jacobsdal with the intention
Of cutting the railway 10 miles west.
Commandant Olivier appears to have
gotten his 5000 men and rs miles Of
wagons into rugged country, where he
can make an easy rearguard defense.
Charles Williams, the military expert,
says:
IF this column gets through safely
Commandant Olivier will have carried
out the great feat Of the war, seeing
that he ran every chance Of being
ground between the upper milestone of
Lord Roberts army and the neither
milestone Of the broken Basuto from
tier
He will have done it within 80 miles
or SO of Lord Roberts main strength.
Certainly it looked for week as
though
Lord Roberts Held Olivier
in the hollow of his hand. If Olivier
gets through to Kroonstad with even
5000 men it will be an important addi-
tion to the Beers gathering there. His
escape is attributable in part to the
wQrnout condition of the British cav
airy horses.
Lord Roberts transport appears to
have been badly dislocated by the loss
at Reit river, before Cronje's surrender,
of the wagon train, and, in addition to
this, the army with which he purposes
to advance towards Pretoria is nearly
double that Of the early rapid move
ments. Ten thousand transport, cav
airy and gun animals are due to arrive
at Cape ports during this and next
week. It is given out at Cape Town
that Lord Roberts advance may be de-
layed for a month. Although such
statements should be received with re-
serve it seems positive that he intends
to 60 to Cape Town to meet Lady Rob.
erts, who is due to arrive there in 10
days.
The war Office has issued another
table of British losses showing an ag-
gregate Of 1862, which does not in
clude 4,OO4 who have been invalided
| home.
