Washington, April 1.-The follow

To be brigadier general in the reg
ular army: Col. Jacob II. Smith,
Seventeenth United States infantry,
brigadier volunteers, vice Daggett, re-
tired; Bridadier General Frederick

The announcement of these ap

between the president, Secretary
Root and Adjutant General Corbin,
and at the same time the long eX-
Pected list of appointments of ma
jors and captains in the paymasters',
quartermasters' and commissary de-
partments and of chaplains was made
known. The list included two ma
jors and twenty-five captains in the
paymasters' departments; twenty

partment; thirty-seven captains in
the quartermasters' department and
seventeen chaplains. All of these app
pointments are in the regular army.

and without exception the staff APP

The chief interest, however, cen

of major general and two brigadier
generals and more particularly in the
selection of General Funston after
his gallant exploit in capturing
Aguinaldo. Following are the an-
nouncements General Corbin sent to
General Macarthur:

WORTHY OF HIS FATHERS SON.
Herbert Gladstone's Bugle Call to the
British Liberals.

Herbert Gladstone's Bugle Call to the
British Liberals.
London, April Herbert Glad
stone, member of parliament for
West Leeds, has issued letter to his
constituents, containing striking
Indictment of the government, which,
the Daily News declares, will be
welcomed by all Liberals as bugle
gall to action and as worthy of his
fathers son. He appears to have
struck note on which the majority
of the Liberals can unite against
what the Conservative organs admit
to be the weak management of the
party in power.''
The letter is short. Its quality can
be judged from the following ex-
cerpts:
The war in South Africa will cost
not far short of two hundred mil
lions, and the settlement is as far
off as ever. There are problems to be
solved in the far east of, the first mag
nitude and the government appears
destitute of a clear, settled pol
icy. Already the huge expenditure
Tor the army and navy is going up
by leaps and bounds, and will force
europe t3 add to it's ruinously large
armameKts. Where is it to end?
Ibe Irish question is more to the
1r.Sht than ever and the government
Seems to view it with apathetic i'm
potence.
The advocates of the Liberals are
not endeavoring to take up the gov
ernment's burden uptil they have
''eNacted conditions that their policy
will not again be stultified by the
rejection of their measures by the
house of lords .
Whether the conditiodse should he
exacted from the king or whether
the Liberals must frankly appeal to
the country for the practical aboli-
ton of the house of lords, is not quite
clear. But anyway, as the Daily News
says: cit is a bold and somewhat
startling suggestion, in which Mr..
Gladstone seems to have put his fin
ger on the weak spot of modern Lib

SAYS CUBA WILL DECLINE.
Alember of Convention Insists Upon Bet
ter Terms from America,

Havana, April 2.-senor Giberga,
the only conservative member of the
Cuban constitutional convention, has
made long statement in which he
analyses the Platt amendment. Senior
Giberga's views are regarded as rep
resenting those of his party.
i His statement practically rejects
the clauses of the Platt amendment
referring to coaling stations, right
of intervention and the Isle of Pines,
unless they are greatly modified. It
also virtually makes the acceptance
of the proposals in any form de-
dendent upon the special tariff con-
cessions upon Cuban products.
A leading member of the conven-
ton says that there is no possibility
of the acceptance of the Platt
amendment. The country is quiet
and apparently sustains the spirit
of the convention.

SCANDAL HITS MANILA
Big Frauds Found In the Commits
sary Department.

Manila, April 2.-lnterest in the
capture and fate of Aguinaldo is we'll
nigh ocershadowed in Manila by SEN
sational developments, present and
prospective, of big frauds in the
commissary department.. A large
number of arrests have been made,
and more will follow. Captain Fred
erick j. Barows CT The Thirteenth
volunteer infantry, and formerly of
the Thirty-fifth, quartermaster of the
department of southern Luzon, to-
gether with seven commissary SER
geants and large number of others,
has been arrested. The frauds are
said to have amounted to not less
than 100000 a month. Besides the
quartermaster's officials arrested sew
eral civilian clerks, prominent gov
eminent contractor, the manager of
the Hotel Oriente, the proprietors of
the largest bakeries in Manila,
are already in custody. The investi-
cation so far has shown that nour,
bacon and other goods, all bearing
the government brands have been
sold to unauthorized persons. 1t is
said that the contractor who figures
most conspicuously in the affair has
done a business amounting to hun
dreds of thousands of dollars a
month and has spent large sums of
money in entertaining army officers.
A prominent commisssary officer is
accused of leading scandalously
immoral life. 1t is asserted that
large quantities of stores have been
lost or stolen in transit. and also
that there is shortage in the COM
missary depot. New scandals are
developed daily. Illicit transactions
have been traced back to June, 1900,
and it is possible that there are
others of earlier date. The exorbi-
tant tariff on provisions makes the
surreptitious sale of commissary
supplies immensely profitable.

Powers and James Howard, who are

been granted new. trials by the court
of appeals.
In the case of Howard, who was
condemned to be hanged, the whole

trial and minor technical;ties.
In the case of Powers, the former
secretary of state, who, is serving a

opinion holds that the pardon of for

Powers was arrested and while lay

not valid; that the Indictment of Pow
