Ingenious FiIipinos.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Col. Clarence
r. Edwards. chief of the insular division
in the War Department, has received a let
ter from an officer in the Philippines, which
shows the righteousness of the Fflipinos
and the manner in which they take adj
vantage of everything in the way of ma
terials for carrying on the war. TIL writer
says:
Il have sent you a couple of rounds of
ammunition that l captured I'm a trench the
other day. At first glance IL looks like Maui
ser ammunition, but if you will notice the
markings on the base you will see that one
is X c. and the other w. S. A ammuni-
ton. both thirty caliber. One is a cartridge
that some soldier dropped and the other is
a reloaded shell. Both are filed off so they
will go into a clip. / tried them I'm a can
tured Mauser rife and Ii works finely. The
ammunition that is used in the Remlng-
ton is just as ingenious. They use anything
from an old forty-five pistol shell, or the
shell of a thirty-caliber TO a homemade
shell from a tin can. Except in the Maui
sers. of which they have only a few, they
use black powder. and not very good at
that"

POLICY OF THE PENNSYLVANIA.
The Company Always Deals with It's
own Employees Directly.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 2s--Presi-
dent Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, was seen this evening by a rep
~resentative of the Associated Press, and
was asked If he had anything TO say with
reference to the statement published In the
newspapers of yesterday and to-day as to
the settlement of the strike in the anthra-
cite coal region. Mr.. Cassatt replied that
he had read the statements. but that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company had not
been a party TO the negotiations referred
to. The company was so small a factor
in the anthracite coal trade. he said, that
the great anthracite coal-carrying COM
panies could act without reference 10 IL.
Mr.. Cassatt said hat in all sucn matters
1t has been the uniform policy OF the Penn
sylvania Railroad COMPANY throughout It's
entire existence to deal only with It's own
employees directly, and 1t had always FOUND
them quite capable of presenting their own
case and of protecting their interests In the
discussions which ensued. Access was al
ways easy by any of it's employees desiring
to present its own matters TO the executive
officers, and the executive officers OF TINS
company were firm in the belief that 1t
was wise to adhere to their uniform policy
in the present instance. believing such a
course to be for the best interests OF both
employer and employed. In saying this,
Mr.. Cassett added, he had no desire TO crit
icise the acts of any other company whose
officers thought some other course more
conducive to its interests.

Incident of the Work of the Signal
Corps in the

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Lieutenant
Colonel James Allen, chief signal officer
in the Philippines, in submitting his re-
port of operations for the signal corps dur
ing the month of July, tells a number OF
interesting experiences Of his men. He
has under him $50 men available for duty,
and 5000 miles of telegraph lines and cable.
During the month 2OS. 0S5 messages were
sent and received on the island of Luzon,
besides a large amount of business trans
acted exclusively by telephone. The most
notable feature of the month was the in
creased amount of line-cutting, which kept
many men employed in repair work. Col.
Allen tells the following interesting story
of the work of the signal corps in Luzon:
ION July Is, Corporal James, lineman at
Santa Cruz, went out with a detachment
repa ring near Magdalena. He had with
him "a field telephone. The detachment was
surgents In ambush. The sound of the firing
brought troops from the south. At this
time Corporal James attached his field
telephone and got word TO the commanding
officer at Santa Cruz, he in turn telephon-
ing to Pagsanjan. This promptly brought
out a cavalry detachment, which fell upon
the retreating insurgents and almost ami
hilated them. This is cited as a practical
application of the telegraph in war. even of
the guerrilla variety"
