COOPERATION WITH THE ARMY
The General Naval Board COnsfder-
ing the Philippine War.

The General Board OF the Navy, which
is now in session, is devoting itself to
the consideration of plans for suppressing
the insurrection in the Philippines. Here
tofore the board has concerned itself With
mapping out theoretical campaigns to be
followed by the navy in wars with foreign
nations. This time, however, acting TN
der instructions from the Secretary of the
Navy, which probably emanated from the
President. 1t Is endeavoring to meet the
practical conditions that confront the
Government in It's Far Eastern posses
sions.
While 1t would, not be proper to give
any details of the ideas which prevail
in the board. and which will be adopted.
it may be said that the boards plans pro-
vide for very close cooperation between
the army, the navy and the Marine Corps,
ahoat and ashore in every portion of the
Philippine archipelago where disturbances
are going on.
Some time ago the War Department and
the Navy Department arranged FOR CO.
operation between their respective con-
tingents in the Philippines. but it appears
that the plans then formed were not COM
prehensive enough and did not provide for
complete mutual endeavor.

of Admiral Dewey and number of high
ranking officers of the naval service, in

tions that will be as nearly perfect as

not been provided. He said Mr.. Wilcox,
after writing the letters referred to. in
which he applied for a commission to
serve in Cuba, had offered his services to
the Filipinos. This in connection with
Mr. Wilccxs arrest for treason against
the monarchy and his conviction of trea-
son against the Hawaiian Republic were
suffic ent in Mr. Gears opinion to show
that Mr.. Wilcox was unfit to represent
Hawaii.
All the letters, MrliGear claimed, had
beer written since the American flag had
been hoisted in Hawaii and while Mr.
Wilcox he thought. owed allegiance to the
United States. N his opinion Mr.. wilcox
was guilty of treason
At the conclusion of the argument Of
Attorney Gear Representative Robinson
spoke briefly for Wilcox. In answer to
Mr.. Gears argument that the law did not
authorize a Delegate to be elected from
Hawaii he cited Mr.. Gears speeches to
the people of Hawaii wherein he urged
them to vote for Mr.. Parker, the opponent
Of Wilcox He scathingly arraigned Ma
reno. the Italian to whom the letters pub
Iished were written, and said they were
confidential and sacred; that they con-
tanned no more revolutionary sentiment
than could have been heard In every
State in the Union last campaign, and to
an Indiana politician II looked as II the
whole contest was the result OF political
disappointment and was purely an after
math Of the Hawaiian election.
He closed by saying that his interest In
the case WAS but the same as that OF
each member OF the committee and that
all were deeply interested in the success
of Hawaii under her new and improved
form of government
The committee gave Mr.. Wilcox until
e tot ha laGr
point whether the law authorized the
election OF a Delegate for Hawaii.

life of the pensions would be seven and
two-thirds years, making the total pay
ment under the bill s5.601 ,696.
The records showed on that date five
survivors, of the Seminole war of 1917 and
and 1878 in existence and 120 widows.
Five years later, January 1. 1900, the num-
ber of benefciaries under the bill was es-
timated at 1868. BUT four OF the five sur
vivors of the Seminole war had died in
the mean time and 110 of the 120 widows.
The estimate of 1895 did not include the
Sac and Fox war and the Seminole war of

missioner Evans estimates as equal to

The police yesterday served notice on
clubs to close their bars at midnight.
This order is in accordance with a recent
opinion furnished the Commissioners by
A. B. Duvall, Attorney for the District
of Columbia. Managers of a number OF
clubs were seen last night, and the pro-
visions of the law governing the sale of
liquors were generally obeyed. The ac-
tion of the police is believed to forecast
fight, in which the Anti-Saloon League
and the Retail Liquor Dealers Association
Will be allied against the clubs. No liquor
will hereafter be sold at any club after
midnight, except in such establishments
as may have obtained special permit
from the Excise Board
Major Sylvester, Chief of Police, was
acquainted with the text of the opin-
ion Of Attorney Duyall and yesterday he
took steps TO sec that the law was en-
forced. A copy OF the opinion was sent
to various lieutenants at the several sta
tions. with the understanding that they
should act in accordance with its pro-
visions. Surprise was apparent at several
OF the clubs late in the afternoon when
policemen made the rounds and notified
the managers Of every club to close their
bars at IL O'clock In several instances
conferences were held by club officials
but with the same result-the determina-
tion to obey the order of the police, So
far as known there was not a singh vio-
latlon of the Law last night.
