Hand BE Placed Again Under Kill
tary COntrOI-FruftIess Effort
TO Cut Down Expenses.

Manila, Dec. 24.-Every effort to de-
crease the expenses of the American
army in the Philippine islands Is haT-
ing little effect, owing to the increase
Of army stations, due partly TO the
activity of the insurgents on the is
lands OF Samar, in Batangas and Tay-
abas provinces and in other places,
and also to the establishment Of
municipal governments in many
towns, which has necessitated the
sending Of troops there to preserve
order.
The public schools Of vigan, in
uocos province, Luzon, celebrated the
fete day of Jose Rial, the Filipino
patriot, who was shot by the Span
iards. Seven hundred school chill
dren marched in a procession and
were addressed by the governor Of the
province, who told them to kiss and
bless the American flag, which
brought them that liberty for which
Rial had died.
Gen George w Davis, commanding
at ZambOanga, island of MindanaO,
has requested that the province Of
Misamis be placed again under mill
tary control. Gen. Davis has proof
that the recently-eIected presidents
and vice councillors and the leading
men of Cagayan de AIisamis are gull

ton to the insurgents within the last
month.
Capt. John 8. Parloe, Jr., with 80
men of the Twenty-frst infantry, en-

tary Cages intention to relinquish
the treasury portfolio as soon as
President Roosevelt can find suita-
bic successor and ne has 50 informed
the president. Mr.. Gage would like

question, as he had not received any
information on the subject from
Washington either from President
Roosevelt or from any Iowa friends
there.

PRESIDENT REpRIMANDS MILES
Roosevelt Takes Action to Stop Dis
eussion Of schlsy Affair.
Demand. Resignation Of 1IacIay and
RePrtmands Gen Miles for Re
cent COmmenta-LOnB UPhOlds
Majority ODIniOn OF Court.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The latest
sensation in the Schley case was not
in the action of the secretary of the
navy in approving the findings OF the
court of inquiry, because that had
been expected. It was the appear
ance of President Roosevelt on the
scene and exercising his prerogative
as commander-in-chief of the army
and navy. He ordered the rePrimand
of Lieut.. Gen. Miles by Secretary
Root and the dismissal Of Edgar Stan
ton Maclay from his berth as special
Iaborer in the Brooklyn naval yard.
Gen. Miles is the general command
ing the army, and the censure i'm
posed by the presidents direction is
called forth by an interview on the
SchIey court and its findings. Mr..
Maclay is the historian of the navy
whose accusations of "caitiff' con-
duct against Rear Admiral Schley
caused the rumpus which resulted in
the court of inquiry and who also
talked in violation of the regulations.
Gen Miles was reprimanded in &C
cordance with the wishes of the presi-
dent in a letter sent by Secretary
Root Saturday afternoon. AS a mat
ter of fact Gen. Miles had two repri-
mands Saturday. The president sent
for the commander of the army and
saw him in the crowded audience
room. He asked Gen. Miles about the
interview and Gen. Miles said he had
given It, and he was exercising the
prerogatives of an American citizen
q private citizen.
The president, in a voice loud
enough to be heard all over the room,
told Gen. Miles that he could not act
IN the capacity of a private citizen,
since he was commander of the army,
and that he had committed a breach
of military discipline. He spoke with
great sharpness and Gen. Miles left
the room in confusion.
Long Sides with Majority Opinion.
Washington, Dec. 23.-Secretary
Long has disposed finally of the
Schley case so far as the navy depart
nent is concerned, by acting upon the
findings and conclusions of the court
of inquiry. He approves the findings
of fact and the opinion of the full
court; he approves the majority opin-
ion where there is a difference in the
court; he holds that the court could
not have entered into consideration
of the question of command at the
battle at Santiago, and finally he &C
cepts the recommendation that nc
further proceedings shall be had.
The secretary also has declined the
application of Rear Admiral Samp
sons counsel to enter upon an inquiry
into the question of command and has
notified Rear Admiral Schley's coun
sci of that fact as reason f0A decln
ing to hear them on that point.

what Music Costs I'm London.

Teachers Of music in London must
collectively receive a great amount Of
money in the course of a year. From
the return which has just been fur
nished by the Guildhan School of Mu-
sic it appears that the professors
there received no less than e23, 291

well known, the charges to students
at the Guildhau school are not near
" so high as at some Of the other
eenters of musical instruction In Lon
don. There are no fewer than 123
teachers Of one kind or another at
che Guildhau school. Some OF them
receive very small amounts, and in
NO case did the figures run to four
figures. Mr.. J. Wolff, teacher OF the
violin, received e791 Is, 1851; Mr.. E
Bach, professor Of the PianofOrte, re-
,eived sT32 (S5. 66O); Mr.. Arthur
Thompson and Mr. Wallace Wells, for
lessons in singing, received s665

OUTBREAK IN VENEZUELA.
Navy Department Has Dispatched the War

to the Scene OF Trouble.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Reports have
reached here of a serious outbreak in
Venezuela. Details are not Obtaina-
BILE at this distance, but the news so
far received it is understood has led
the navy department to dispatch a
warship to Venezuelan waters. The
nearest ship is the Buffalo, at Port of
Spain, and it is probable that the
choice has fallen upon her.

BROOKLAND'S NEW ENGINE HOUSE
Chemical Apparatus Vow Ccntrn'Iy
Locntcd in Tint Subdivision.


Located i'm Tint subdivision.
The new chemical engine house at
Brookland is practically completed, and
1t is now expected that the company will
be in commission within week. The oc-
cupancy of the new station has been de-
layed somewhat, owing TO the difficulty Of
constructing the driveway in front of the
building. During the past few days, how
ever. after the thawing out of the ground.
the driveway has been constructed. aud
only few details remain TO be com
pleted.
The apparatus for the new fire station
was purchased several weeks ago, and
has been stored in Truck House +. This
consists of a combination chemical en-
Cine and hose wagon OF the same type as
thai now in use at Tenleytown. The com
pauy for the new station has also been
selected and viii be organized this week,
with $ r. Henry as foreman.
r. w. Dutton. the Chief Engineer. in
speaking of the matter. said that the new
engine house is centrally located and
convenient fJr running to fires. In ar
ranging for the protection OF the district
covered by the Brookland engine the
Chief Engineer has assigned Engine Com

lection for that locality.
The majority Of buildings in Brookland
are two-story frame houses, and while
they would burn quickly in case OF fire.
