orders for the closing Of all ports in the
Lsguna and Batsngas provinces. The

shape of contributions, and General Chaf-
fee intends that no more government
funds shall find their way into the hands
OF the enemy.
The reason for closing the ports II that
too many supplies are found 10 he getting

ANOTHER MALIGNANT ATTACK.
ssattla-Post Intelligence.

Ssattla-PoSt Intelligence.
The Portland Greg 'nian, In its malis-
nant hostility to the administration. has
from time to time sought to make som=
canitaI out Of the appointments made
by the president to positions IN the
regular army, hoping thar it could find
some concession 20 the politicians, who
were alleged to be clamoring to have a
certain percentage Of the commissions
distributed among their civilian constit-
uents. Several times the Oregonlan
has gleefully announced that such a
surrender to the politicians has been
made, only 10 find that {. was
mistaken and this paper has had
occasion several times to *
posa misstatements Of his kind. after
each Of which references the Oregonian
temporarily dropped all reference 20 the
ssbiect: without. however, withdraw
ing its false statements.
Thus, when the first appointments IF
lieutenants were made. the Oreg2nian
jumped al the conclusion that all were
made from civil life and on recommsn-
dation Of politicians, and read the presl-
dent a vigorous lecture upon his evil
doing. The Post-Intelllgencer pointed
out that, without a single exception,
every one Of the commissions went 70
young men who had served in the war
with Spain and in the Philippines. and
who had been recommended for positions
in the regular army by their command
ing officers. Nothing further was said
by the Oregonian upon the subject
Up to the present time it does not ap-
pear that a single appointment In the
line Of the regular army, out u me
hundreds which have been made has
gone to other than men who saw SER
vice in the war with Spain and in the
Philippines; or men who had dstin-
gushed themselves in some manner IN
those wars Yet this fact is never men
toned by the Oregonlan, although &c is
the subject Of much admiring comment
by the service journals, which are keen
Iy alive to all that affects the inter-
ests Of the army
Having been often proved in the
wrong in its premature conclusions, the
oregonlan has become a little cautious,
and assures itself Of its facts a little
