INSPECTION TOO RIGID.

Uncle Sam Rejects Too Many Good
Horses for Army Use.

Chicago, Dec. AT Fridays ses-
sion of the National Live Stock con-
vention. a resolution OF interest to
horse-raisers was adopted. 1t calls
for a less rigid inspection of horses
intended for governments use, espe-
cially in the army and suggests the
appointment of a committee of our
army men and eight horse breeders
to act as judges at shows where prizes
shall be given for horses best fitted
for service in the various branshes of
the army. The unnecessary severity
of the government inspectors in Sc
lecting horses is shown in the fact
that England has bought $4,000
horses and mules for use in South
Africa, while the United States hav-
ing advertised for $4,000 animals has
been able to get only 5000 head.
After a spirited contest between
the friends of Portland, Ore. and
Kansas City. No., the convention Sc
lected the latter city as the place Tor
the next convention This convention
will begin the second Tuesday in
January, 1903.

Hay-Pauncefote treaty providing for
the construction of an isthmian canal.
The committe was in session nearly
two hours and went over in detail the
provisions of the convention. No
votes were cast againss it, but it was
criticised very sharply by Senator'S
Money and Bacon, who found in it
many of the objections which they
urged against the old treaty. They
took especial exception to the provi-
sion continuing in force the neutrality
provision of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty and also made objection to
the clause specifically. authorizing
the United States to police the canal
as placing limitation upon the
power of this country to. absolutely

TROOPS TOO HUMANE
Gen. Chaffee Says Americans Rely
on the Deceitful Filipino.
Natives He Says, Are Amigo and Foe
Alike in the Self-Same Hour-Mili-
tary Conditions In tho Islands
z. Summed Up.

Washington, Dec. 7.Afhe war der
partment yesterday made public the
first annual report of Maj. Gen. Chat
fee, military governor of the Philip
pine islands. Gen. Chaffee sums up.
the situation in the Philippines from
a e1nilitary: point of view by stating
that the provinces of Batangas and
Laguna, In Luzon, and the islands
of Samar, Mindoro, Cebu :and Boho1
constitute the area now disturbed by
any embodied force of insurgents.
He says that to the physical charac-
ter of The country, to the nature of
sthe warfare of the rebels, who are
amigo and foe in the self same hour,
to the humanity of the troops, which
is taken advantage Of by the rebels
and inhabitants who sy1npa thize
with them, and sto the fear of assas-
sination on the part of the friendly
disposed if they give information to
the American-forces, is, due the pro-
longation of the guerrilla warfare.
Gen. Chaffee recommends that
G there be no further material reduc-
ton of troops before January, 1903.
On the subject of the military gov
eminent of the city of Manila, Gen.
Chaffee says: ssIn the government
Cof Manila for three years, if the mill
itary have done nothing more, it is
everywhere: apparent that an excel
lent foundation has been laid and a
turbulent and hostile community
brought. to observe the laws and in
dividually be orderly; this has been
done without undue harshness or Sc
verify OF. treatment of the inhab-
itants." e
In anticipation of a partial concen-
tration OF the troops in the Philip
pines next. year Gen. Chaffee submits
estimates of cost for the construc-
ton of quarters and barracks.
Gen. Chaffee devotes a good part
of his report to- the terrible disas-
ter which befell company C. Ninth in:
fantry, at Balangiga, Samar, and
which, he says, was largely due to
over confidence. in assumed pacified
conditions and in a people, who, to a
great extent as yet, are strangers to
! and unappreciative of our humane
and personal liberty beliefs and ae-
tions.' American soldiers, he says
fail to discriminate between real and
assumed friendship on the part, of the
a Filipinos.

rs to Avoid Embarrassment

conditions cannot be reached in the
effort of the United States govern
ment to acquire title to the Danish
West indies. The condition which
Denmark places upon . the cession
is that the people shall
be given the rights of citizenship in
the United States. The secretary of
state would like to close the negotia-
ton for the islands. He would do
so if the restrictions indicated could
be removed. Nine-tenths of the pop
ulation are of an. ignorant, semi
barbarous class The, state depart
nent realizes that no treaty which it
negotiated with such provisions
would be ratified by the United
