ing such an aot, therefore he will put
the recommendation into effect at once.
The line to be followed by the president
is to send out three or at the most five
commissioners to form q second class O.
territorial government, the intention be-
ing that the head Of this commission
will eventually become governor Of the
islands, it's secretary will become secre.
tary of state and the third member, to
be selected for his legal qualifications, to
become chief justice OF the Filipino
court when it is established. The towns.
cities and provinces or counties will be
given Il measure Of local autonomy as
now proposed for Puerto Rico ia the
new senate bill, these political subdivis-
ions to be subject to the veto of the
higher American officials.
Amo~g those canvassed for appoint
ment to the positions, expressions were
mostly in favor of Prof. Schurman, Rob.
ert P. Porter. Col. DENLY, Gen. Freder.
lex B. Grant and ex-Minister Barrett.
1t has been found that Gov. Roosevelt
and President Schurman cannot be ir-
duced to accept, and various objections
have been raised to the others as posi-.
BILE governors Of the territory. Gen
Grant is said to be most favorab)y re-.
garded just now, but 1t is desired to avoid
choosing a military man. Among the
candidates for secretary of the territory
is said to be J. P. Macarthur, secretary of
the commission. The president has
given his hearty approval to the report
OF the commission, especially to that
part OF the report in favor of s%upplan.ing
military law with civil law, especially 10
those islands whose inhabitants are bit
terly opposed to a military administra-
ton.

Reports Persist That Butler Is
Again Marching to Whites
Relief,
In Spite Of the Government ALE
cations Of Ignorance on the
Subject.
Durham Special Says There Was
Very Severe Fighting OIL
Sunday.

LONDON, Feb. 6.-The wal office state
ment that it has received no confirma-
ton of the report that General Butler
has recrossed the Tugela river has failed
to shake public belief that operations Of
tremendous Importance are proceeding
at the Tugela. and it is thought that
either the denial was prompted by a de-
sire to keep the military movements as
secret as possible until something is ac-
complished or that General Butler is
keeping the home officials in the dark
pending results. 1t is obviously ex-
tremely difficult 10 extract the truth
from the conflicting statements shroud-
ing Buffers movement. But most
OF the commentators agree that the az
gregate Of the items tends to confirm the
belief that movements of Importance are
in progress.
1t is true that the correspondents at
General Buffers headquarters convey
the impression that his main force is
still south of the Tugela river,
but it is easily conceivable that
the dispatches are so censored
as to convey a false impression. Posi-
bly,. though dated Sunday and Sunday
night, the dispatches We're written prior
to the movements reported to have COM
menced Friday. This has already hap
pened on various occasions, dispatches
being retained by the censor and related
when actually released.
Whatever may be the actual situation,
there seems no doubt that General Bul.
ler's preparations for a fresh attempt to
relieve Ladysmith were completed
Thursday or Friday, and though the
start was possibly deferred from the
date first selected. it will not be long be-
fore it is definitely known that General
Buffers forces are again fighting their
way towards Ladysmith. Those. how
ever. who expect General Butler to reach
the beleaguered town Monday night
seem to have forgotten the presence Of
the Beers. The best informed people.
while sanguine, fully realize that a Brit.
lsh victory can only be achieved at a
heavy cost.
