Washington, Oct. 29.-SiXty thou
sand men are not too many to pre-
serve order in the Philippines. In
spite of Secretary Roots determine
ton that $4,000 men are sufficient,
this is the opinion of competent mil
itary observers who have just re-
turned from the Philippines, and who,
while there, made an exhaustive in
vestigation of conditions. These gem
tIemen hold the view that it is en-
tire1y too soon to attempt to observe
civil government and that military
control should be maintained. Cen.
Chaffee says that the whole people
of the Philippines are engaged in max
ing war against the United States.
The few Filipinos who are friendly
to the United States are those hold
ing Office, and that their loyalty will
continue only so long as they have
the opportunity of drawing American
dollars. The FiIipinos have estab-
lished their bravery by attacking
with boIos American troops whose
gaIlantry is unquestioned and whose
ability to shoot straight has been
shown by the thousands of casualties
suffered by the natives.

UNDER GREAT DIFFICULTIES.
Gen. Greedy Tells of the Laying of Tells
graph and Cable Lines IN the Phil
ippine Islands.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Gen. Greedy,
chief signal officer, in his annual re-
port, says: 1.-THE operations of the
signal corps have been co-existent
with the operations of the army of
the United States, not theoretically,
but on broad lines and activities
which have comprised practically the
entire area, not only of the United
States proper, but also of Alaska, Gu
ba, Porto Rico, the Philippines and
portion of China. There has been con-
structed 1876 miles of telegraph line
in Alaska and arrangements have
been made with the Canadian govern
ment to use its lines to Alaska. The
signal corps operates 3,34S miles of
telegraph in Cuba, an increase of 162
miles during the year. The operations
of the corps in the Philippines have
been very extensive, there having
been erected 4,851 miles of telegraph
line, an increase of 2,O54 during the
year.
Concerning the work of the corps in
the Philippines Gen. Greedy says: eff
the officers and men of the signal
corps had struggled only against the
natural disadvantages they were I'M
der. their work in the Philippines
would have commanded commenda-
ton; but to this must be added the
extreme difficulties arising from the
practically constant efforts of the in
surgents to destroy indispensable
means of accommodation. In the
region southeast of Lagunade bay,
Santa Cruz to Antimoan and thence to
the head of the gulf of Ragay, the in
surgent troops had caused no end of
trouble and annoyance, not only by
the cutting of the wire, but by the re-
moval or destruction of considerable
stretches of line. Destruction of sec
tions of two, three or even five miles
of line was not unusual, but the eli
max was reached in Santa Cruz in the
total destruction of SO miles of line,
every insulator being broken, every
bracket destroyed or removed, every
pole cut down and the entire wire car
ried away

THE CABINET uNDAUNTED.
Late Disturbances in the Philippines VIII
Not Interfere with the Reduction
of the Armed Force.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-A considera-
BILE part of the cabinet meeting Tues
day was devoted to a consideration of
the military situation in the Philip
pines. After hearing Secretary Roots
report and discussing the situation
thoroughly, the cabinet decided that
there was no present occasion to sus-
pend the reduction in the United
States military forces in the Philip
pines. The original policy, there
fore, will prevail and it will not be
necessary, it is understood, to send
to the Philippines at once the half
dozen regiments selected for the serv-
ice last week. Secretary Root said
that the sporadic outbreaks at isoIat-
ed points in the islands would be dealt
with properly as they arose and addi-
tional troops to meet these small
emergencies would scarcely be need

TIE BRooKGYN's SCARS.
In Santiago Battle schley's Flagship Re-
6eIVed 10 Per Cent. of Hits from
the SsanIsh Vessels.

Washington; Oct. 29.@The cross ex-
animation of Admiral Seh1ey began
yesterday before the court of inquiry
and hardly more than a third of the
ground was covered when the court
adjourned at four o'clock.
Admiral Schley concluded his direct
examination, which continued only
about ten minutes after the court
convened, with a statement of the eff
feet of the fire of the respective fleets
at Santiago, showing that Sc per cent.
of the hits suffered by the enemy
were scored by the Brooklyn's five
inch guns, while his ship received 20
per cent. of the hits from the Spanish
ships. Capt. Lemly's crOss-examina-
ton was very searching. Admiral
Schley, however, appeared to be I'M
ruffied throughout the examination,
frankly admitting on several occasions
that he could not remember little de-
tails after the lapse of three years.
One line of inquiry which the judge
advocate tried to press, to show that
Admiral Schley did not proceed with
dispatch. from Key West to Cienfue-
Cos, by attempting TO contrast the
Key West with the time between Key
West and CienfuegOs, was curtailed
by a decision of the court, which con-
fined the questions to the time sub
suquent to May 10, the day on which
the flying squadron left Key West.
The judge advocate in his cross-ex-
animation dwelt upon the interview
between Admiral Sampson and Com
modore Schley at Key West before
the departure of the flying squad
ron, at which the latter testified that
Admiral Sampson instructed him not
to expose his ships to shore batteries
until the Spanish fleet had been de-
stroyed; OH the fact that Admiral
Schley issued no written order of bat
tie; on the question of cOaling off
Cienfuegos and the steps Schley took
there to ascertain the presence of
the Spanish feet.

Good-TOtaI strength of the Army
Aggregates S4,5I3.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Lieut. Gen.
Miles, in his annual report, gives the
total strength of the army at the
present time as S4,513, of which num-
Der 80, S74 are in the United States;
1929 in the Philippines, 4,914 in Cuba
and the remainder in small detach-
ments being in Porto Rico, Hawaii
and Alaska. He says it is expected
that the force in Cuba will be very
much reduced and hopes that the
force in the Philippines also can be
reduced. Gen. Miles does not approve
of the present organization of the ar
tillery corps, saying that it establishes
another bureau in Washington. He
believes in the former regimental or
ganization.
Speaking of the army canteen,
which is abolished by the army reor"
ganization law, he says that no injury
has resulted and in the main the law
has been beneficial.
Gen. Miles states his objection to
the management of military affairs
in the war department in the follow.
ing language: ''While congress has
made ample provision for the manage
ment of military affairs in the organ
ization of the army, yet the tendency
has been to absorb and usurp the en-
tire conduct of the military establish
ment in the city of Washington and
especially in the staff departments.
1 recommend that decentralization be
effected as far as possible and that all
proper and lawful authority be re-
stored to subordinate commanders
who are provided with an efficient or
ganization and who car safely be in-
trusted with responsibility for the eff
f1cient and faithful administration of
military affairs commensurate with
their important commands"
AS a large portion of the army is
stationed in the western part of the
United States and over one-half west
OF the Pacific ocean, Gen. Miles rec
ommends the establishment of mil
itary school in southern California.
He also recommends the establish
ment of war college in the city OF
Washington.

DESTROYED BY ACID.
Warden of Auburn Prison Quickly
Disposed of Czolgosz' Body.
Autopsy Showed That His Brain Was Nor
NAL and His Body Healthy = Warden
Mead Received Hundreds of
Threatening Letters.

Auburn, n. Y, Oct. 29.-The ply
sicians holding the autopsy de-
cided, after critical examination,
that Czolgosz's brain was normal If
not above normal. Prison Superin-
tendent Collins made the following
statement to the Associated press:
''Just consider that within about
six weeks from the death of his dis
tinguished victim, Czo1gosz was regu-
larly tried, convicted, sentenced and
executed, and this despite the fact
that the law compelled US to give him
four weeks to prepare for death. All
has been done in dignified way, and
the greatest credit is due to Warden
Mead for the care he has taken to
strip the case of sensationalism. The
execution was one of the most sue
cessful ever conducted in the state.
Extraordinary care had to be taken
in the case, because both the warden
and I received hundreds of threaten
ing letters, many of them asserting
in violent and incorporate language
that the prisoner would never be put
in the chair. I have decided for the
present that we will not destroy any
of the hundreds of letters written to
Czolgosz, the warden and myself as
to the case. Eventually they VIII be
destroyed, but it has struck me that
perhaps we should make a list of
them, especially of those letters
signed with full and proper names,
in which coincidence was offered to
the prisoner or threats against us
were made. My plan is to get the ad-
dress of these people and keep the
list for police reference. believe
that there may come time when
such list would be valuable in run
ming down anarchists.
After the autopsy the body was
placed in a black stained pine coffin,
every portion of the anatomy being
replaced. Shortly afterward it was
taken to the prison cemetery, and an
extraordinary precaution taken to
completely destroy it. A carboy of
acid had been obtained and poured
upon the body in the coffin after it
had been lowered into the grave.
Straw was used in the four corners of
the grave as the earth was put in to
give vent to such gases as might form.
1t is the belief of the physicians that
ed within IL hours. During that time
and as long as deemed necessary a
guard will be kept over the unmarked
grave.
Valdez Czolgosz and Valdez Thorn
as Bandowski, brother and brother-in-
law of the assassin, called at the pris-
on at two o'clock. They sent word
into Warden Mead that they wished
to see the body of Leon Czolgosz. The
warden told them that the body had
been buried for more than an hour
and that if they wished he would send
guard to guide them to the grave.
They answered that they did not care
to go to the cemetery, bat were anx-
ious to arrange for the collection of
the insurance on the life of the dead
murderer and asked that a certificate
of death be given to them. The war
den promised them certificate and
they departed. The insurance about
which they talked is supposed to be
in a fraterna1 society to which the
murderer belonged.
