PHILIPPINE FORESTS.
Tho Character of the Timber and the
 Way to Get 1t.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
 Manila, May 9.-The chief of the for estry bureau of the Philippines, Captain Ahern, has just issued circular which is applicable to those who are consider ing business ventures other than lumber ing in the archipelago. The United States Attorney General, it should be borne in mind, has construed that the inhibitions on the amendments to the Spooner act do not apply to timber cut ting on government lands. In brief the circular is as follows:
 At present there are no laws under which timber lands can be purchased.
 There is some timber land held by private parties, but 1t is very limited in extent and, as a rule, is not on the mar ket. The custom for lumbermen in these islands is to apply for a license granted free of charge for term of one year and which can be renewed. As a rule applicants can obtain as large tract as they can conveniently exploit. There are many large forest districts where no li- censes have been applied for and which could be pro1tably handled if labor could be obtained.
 ''The felled timber Is measured and ap- praised as it leaves the forest by for estry official There are 665 native tree species now known, including eleven species of oak, true ebony, some teak, Camagon, an abundance of nara (Phil- ippine mahogany); tindalo, calants (Phil- ippine cedar) and other woods suitable for veneering and fine cabinet work.
 There are more than fifty species of valuable gum trees from which are ex- tracted gutta percha and other gums and rubber. d
 Next to labor, transportation is dif- fcult to secure.
 Captain Ahern is about to lesse for the United States and will exhibit samples of Philippine woods before the furniture associations at Grand Rapids, Mich., and elsewhere. The very great variety of rare and beautiful woods will doubtless surprise them and creat an American demand for Philippine timber.

RELIGIOUS LIFE
 OF YOUNG MEN
This Was the Subject of Earn est Talks from an Hundred
 Boston Pulpits

Boston, Mass, June 16.-The work on behalf of the religious life of the young men the world over was told in words of earnestness, force and eloquence from more than a hundred pupits in Boston today, for this was the great occasion and the practical close of the international jubilee convention of the Young Mems Christian Association which has been in session for nearly a week.
 Delegates to the convention-laymen and ministerial-of reputation known far beyond the borders of the union stood beside the pastors of Protestant parishes and plead for a wider sympathy and greater financial devotion to the young mems cause Not in Boston alone were delegates assigned to pulpits, but to churches in neighboring cities and towns.
 In the afternoon in Boston meetings of special importance were held simultane- ously, the mems mass meeting, with over ten thousand present, at Mechanics hall, led by MT. Fred B. Smith, of Chicago; boys meeting as Association hall, a woman's meeting in New Old South church, and Scandinavian meeting at the Peoples Temple. Overflow meetings were held at nearby churches.
 At the same time Commander Booth Tucker spoke to an immense audience at the Salvation Army barracks. Early in the day Mrs. Maud Booth, wife of the commander of the volunteers, spoke at the State prison.
 In the evening at Mechanics hall was held the farewell meeting, the special sub ject being, '"rhe unnumbered multitude of young men of non-Christian lands"

GREAT RAILROAD COMBINE.
Will Control Enough Track to Twic'
 Belt the Globe.

Chicago. June 16.-The Tribune tomorl row will say:
 Tho Hartman combine has securei trol of the Chicago, Milwaukee Paul and that a composite agreen been made to perfect a community terests among roads with tracks en0$yy. to twice belt the globe, is generally ac-' cepted in railroad circles The sudden departure of MT. Hartman for the East, accompanied by President John J. Mitchell of the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, was announced in support of the statement that MT. Mitchell and other bankers would furnish the funds for the completion of the Milwaukee and St. Paul transfer The meeting of the western of ficials with MT. Hartman is believed to have been the result of the recent contro- versy over control of Northern Pacific stock which drove short holders to cover at 5000 a share. A few small roads out of Chicago are not parties to the agree ment, but it is understood they will con- sent to anything that will maintain rates and end the squabble that has been kept up in the past among the various Western lines.
 It was aSSerteu ioHlBuL tlidt all tuo roads west. northwest and southwest from Chicago to the Pacific coast will be controlled in future by the following interests:
 Hines west of Chicago to the Pacific coast by Hartman, Kuhn, Loeb & Co, and the Rockefelers. Lines northwest from Chicago by Hill and Morgan. Lines southwest from St. Louis by Gould and the Rockefellers. Lines southwest from Chicago by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. to which probably will be added before long the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific.
 "J. Pierpont Morgan and E. Hartman will be the real dictators and direct the policy to be pursued by these combina- tions, thus establishing the "communlty of interest which has been the dream of Mir Morgan.

SURRENDER OF
 GENERAL CAILLES
Washington Officials Pleased With This Action of the In-
 AuentiaI Filipino

Washington, June 16.-Officials of the War Department are very well pleased with the prospective surrender of Gen. eral Cailles, the Filipino insurgent leader Advices received at the depart ment indicated that these would occur. Cailles Is a man of considerable influence and with his backing of some hundreds of men has been menace to the efforts of the military authorities to stamp out the rebellion in Luzon. The authorities say they see in the surrender another evidence of the general disintegration of the insurgent forces.
 Manila, June 16.-For more than a year past General Cailles has commanded the insurgent forces operating from the east side of Bay Lake, north of Manila. He is said to be a French half caste and during the last revolution he has &C., quired a reputation for vindictiveness and cruelty.
 The Society of Mando-Ducats, whose practice was to assassnate and bury alive those of their countrymen who ac- cepted American sovereignty whenever the latter fell Into their hands, operated with the cognizance, If not the support of General Cailles. At one time Cailles offered reward of s10 for the heads of all Americans brought to hm and, more recently, he offered a reward of $10,000 for the head of Captain Edward N. Jones, Jr.. of the Eighth Infantry
 Since the capture of Aguinaldo, Cailles. who was one of the few insurgent leaders who did not surrender under the terms of amnesty, has been consistently pursued by the American troops. He was declared to have been wounded in one engagement last month, and negotiations for his sur render have been going on with General Sumner for some weeks past. He was declared an outlaw by the American au- thorities, and this fact, which meant that he could not expect to enjoy immunity for his past deeds and violations of hon. orable warfare and would have to stand trial on the many charges against him. doubtless compelled him to prolong his resistance. The members of the federal party advised him to surrender but this he consistently refused to do until he saw that his capture was inevitable.
 Cailles was a man with considerable in fuence with the Filipino people and an aggressive fighter. He kept his followers well in hand. His system of mobilization was excellent. In the mountains of Laguna province where Cailles practically confined his operations, he had many ad- vantages over the American troops, fre- quently sent to disodge him, and render ed their efforts futile. He is credited with the Sinaloan affair of last year in which few American troops were badly cut up losing more than 50 per cent. of the number engaged.
 Cailles at one time declared himself to be Aguinaldo's successor. He and Gener- al Malvar were the only two troublesome insurgent leaders remaining in Luzon.

 "Do you know what this means? It comes from the same men who are call ing me a paranoiac. It means that they are going to kdnap me. They will try to get me some night. They will carry me to hospital and bind me hand and foot TheI. they will beat me and torture me till they make me insane. That's what they will do, the fends, the scoundrels.

EAT SPINACH.

Spinach ought to put in frequent appearance on the table. It contains more iron than almost any other vege- table or fruit, and offers it in most agreeable form.
 Eaten frequently, spinach Is sure to improve muddy complexion, through its work of toning up the system. But spinach, like every other sort of greens, needs thorough and vigorous treat- ment in preparing 1t for. cooking. There are few things more discourag- ing than a dish of spinach interlarded with grit. The vegetable should be picked over carefully, then washed in hot water before 1t is put through the subsequent baths in cold water.
 When it is very clean, and you know it is very clean, shake 1t from the last water and put 1t over to cook. Not one drop of water need be added besides that which has clllng to tho leaves, for the spinach will supply It's own moisture fast enough to keep from burning The incredulous may put a tablespoonful of water in the bottom z of the kettle, just to case their own minds, but none is needed.
 Cover the kettle, and when done you will have most delicious dish of spin- ach.
