THE SPEAR MARKET OF JoLo
Washington Correspondence New YorI

Washington Correspondence New York
Times.
A prominent officer of the army, whose
son Is in service at Jolo, has a letter from
him to say that the Moros of Jolo have
some good traits with which they should
be credited. The spear market at Jolo is
one of the institutions. Officers and men
resort to it to buy spears and knives. the
prices of which vary according to the de-
mand. A Moro friend of the writing officer
saw one morning THAT some traders were
asking excessive prices, and nudgsd the Off
Ger to warn him not to buy. Encouraged
by this act of kindness, the officer gave the
Moro $50 with which to go inland and buy
knives that were of described sort. the
man left, and was gone for a considerable
time. When he returned he surprised the
officer who had confided i'm him by coming
back at all and also by bringing back a
supply of weapons larger and more curious
than it would have been possible to buy
with several times the money In the Jolo
market The officer who writes this story
has a high opinion of Moro honesty and
discretion.

WAR DEPARTMENT STORY

From the Boston Herald.
A story is told by the Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun which
would appear to indicate that there are
malevolent influences still at work in the
war department at Washington toward
General Miles. According to it, an officer
in the cavalry service, who had been doing
inspection duty at home, asked to be sent
to the Philippines. He applied to General
Miles, who requested, formally, in writing,
that his request be granted. Nothing was
done on the subject, and the general
thought he had been snubbed by Secretary
Root After several weeks had passed the
secretary was accidently Informed, both
of the request and the recommendation,
and it was then developed that he had pre-
viously heard nothing about either. This
was an injustice to General Miles, to the
secretary, and to the military service as
especially needed in the war operations.
He was at once appointed, The question
now arises who in the war department
stood in the way of Secretary Root receiv-
ing this application, and there are those
who think it is not altogether difficult to
answer it.
