MACARTHUR REPORTS.
Tells of Operations and Conditions
in the PHILIPPINES.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Maj. Gen. Arthur
Macarthur, commanding the army in the
Philippines and military governor of the
Islands since May s, 1900, has submitted his
report TO the war department. A consid
cradle portion of the report relates to
events which took, place previous to the
date when he assumed command, and he
publishes some of the correspondence and
proclamation of the Filiplnos obtained be-
fore that time. He refers to the change in
Aguinaldo's plans in abandoning his army
organization and starting a guerrilla war
fare. The conditions of the country have
afforded advantages for such policy, he
says, as they have enabled the insurgents
to appear and disappear at their con-
venlence. At one time they are soldiers
and Immediately after are within the Amer
lean lines in the attitude of peaceful ma
tives. widely scattered formation of
Filipinos quickly followed the guerrilla
warfare which led to a corresponding dis
semnation of American troops, there be-
ing SO military stations in the archipelago
November l. 1899, and 413 stations Septem-
Der /, 1900 This resulted in a large num-
Der of minor affairs, many of which did
not assume the dignity of a regular com
bat, though the casualties between the
dates stated were 26S Americans killed, $50
wounded and So captured; the Filipino
losses during the same time being 1927
killed, 694 wounded and 2,S64 captured. Gen.
Macarthur says the extensive distribution
of troops has strained the soldiers of the
army to the full limit of endurance. He
says the apparent desuItory work has de-
manded more OF discipline, and as much Of
yalor as was required during the period Of
regular operations against concentrated
field forces of insurrectionists. Gen. Mac
Arthur speaks In the highest terms OF the
service rendered by the troops amid all
labors and ha -dships.

Some young men returning from a

pointed in all directions they could not
see why the boys should insist on coul-

Fred Gould's team ran away one day

A widow who recently moved into

Mlstortunes of others are cause for

maid remarks: "What things the aver
age person laughs at. If some one slips
and falls, or is unfortunate enough to
make an awkward blunder, the average
person thinks it very funny and laughs
and repeats the affair for funny story.
If some ones makes an unfortunate re-
mark accidentally, his embarrassment is
always theme for merriment. Women,
who are supposed to he sympathetic,
are the ones who have the largest stock
OF such funny stories. They always
seem to be success; people love 10

Ing down the rather narrow stairs that

the American embassy, she met three
or four young attaches Of foreign le-
cations, who were entire strangers to
her, says the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crat. Their politeness induced them to
stand aside for her to pass, but their
courtesy did not prevent their making
audible personal comments. They
seemed to take it for granted that
French was an unknown tongue to
Americans.

"And she understands French per-

nous mouth, turning suddenly upon
them, "and would like to say that her
ears are even bigger than her mouth"
This in French and with such an air
of giving impersonal information to

Arrested for Election Betting.

Four "prominent and respected citi-
zens," representing both Of the leading
political parties, were arrested at Shen-
andoah for betting on the election.
Their preliminary trial takes place Nov.
Is. We have no information as to the
merits of the particular case, and do not
know how much politics may be mixed
up in it. Election bets, however, are a
nuisance. They foster the gambling
spirit, already too strong. They prove
nothing. Moreover, they are IN the eye
of tine law just as serious an offense as
any other form of stalking money upon
chance. The Clalinda Journal says:
Betting on an election is violation
of the code of Iowa, punishable by a
fine not exceeding $500, or by imprison-
ment in the county Jail not to exceed
one year. The officers of law are bound
to take notice of all complaints legally
made against the offense, which is a
serious matter under the law. The ar
rests at Shenandoah should serve as a
warning to all concerned"
