is ESTABLISHED.
lBr TELEGRAPH TO THE rPIBuxE.l J

Washington March 27.-Adjutant-General
Corb!n is actively studying the general features
OF the new military policy 10 be put in force in
the Philippines after he and Secretary Root
have visited the islands and made a close in
spection of the situation. There is no longer
any doubt that General Corbin will go to the
Philippines. The Tribune announced a few
days ago. and at present there is no reason why
Secretary Root should not go. 1t Is possible
that they may start even earlier than at
first proposed. General Corbin said to-day that
General Macarthur would be succeeded in COM
mand at Manila by General Chafee on June
80. and that he and the Secretary of War ear
nestiy desired TO be in the Philippines before
this transfer is made, in order that they may be
prepared to give intelligent advice in regard to
any change Of military policy which may appear
advisable. 1t is expected that at about the
same date the Taft Commission will have its
work sufficiently advanced to take the reins Of
government completely from soldiers and trans
fer them 10 civilians 1t is. however. impossible
TO forecast this part OF the programme at
present. All that is definitely known is that
Judge Taft will become Governor of the islands
whenever. in the judgment OF the commission,
conditions fully justify the complete subordina-
ton of the military to the civil authority.
Whenever the present military rule is super
seded by civil government the process OF reduc-
ing the strength Of the army in the Philippines
from sixty thousand to forty thousand will be
begun. In fact, General Corbin intimates that
this process is already at work. II is probable
that no effort will be made to send regulars to
take the place, man for man, Of the volunteers
who are now being brought home for muster
out. No effort is being made TO push the work
OF recruiting for the fifteen additional regiments
authorized by the new army law General Cor
bin says that the army when completely reor-
ganized will not consist OF more than seventy
thousand or eighty thousand men, instead Of
the one hundred thousand authorized.

KNOX NAY SUCCEED GRIGGS.
THE PITTSBURG LAWYER TO HAVE A
CONFERENCE WITH THE PRES
IDENT TO-DAY.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

Washington, March 21.-It is expected that
Philander c. Knox. OF Pittsburg will arrive IN
| Washington tomorrow at the invitation Of the
President TO discuss the subject OF the Attor-
ney-GeneraIship 10 succeed Mr.. Griggs, who VIII
retire from office next Saturday. While the
probabilities are that Mr.. Knox VIII be ap-
| pointed, there is still a chance that after his
talk with the President he may decide not to
enter the Cabinet. Mr.. Knox and the President
| are old friends but IL is limited that possibly
there radical divergences OF opinion between
them on important public questions which may
lead the President not to offer the portfolio to
the Pittsburg lawyer. At the same Time those
who know Mr. Knox we'll say he entertains no
views so widely at variance with the Presi-
dents opinions TO keep them apart and that
after the President has talked with him the
announcement Of the offer of the Attorney
Generalship to and its acceptance by MI Knox
soon will follow.
1t is by no means certain, however. that If
the tender should be made Immediately and
accepted Mr.. Knox would at once assume the
duties of the office. Indeed, IT is intimated that
he might not take charge for several months. or
at any rate that he Is likely to remain private
citizen until the President has returned from
his trip TO the Pacific Coast. a high admins
tration official said to-day that Mr. Knox has
been in California several weeks on vacation,
and his business affairs have been neglected so
that he would need some time to put them in
such shape TO warrant his entering public
life for four years.
In order TO meet this not improbable emer-
gency everything in the Department Of Justice
has been put in shape for Solicitor General
Richards to discharge the duties Of Attorney
General until Mr. Griggs's successor has been
installed. The President is rather anxious that
Mr.. Richards shall conduct the business of the
department for a time in order that he may
have an opportunity TO demonstrate his capacity
for larger affairs than he has yet had chance
TO deal with. the ultimate object being higher
honors for Mr. Richards when the conditions
are more propitous than at present Under all
the circumstances. therefore. ii is the consensus
Of opinion in Washington that Attorney General
Grggss successor will not be Installed for three
months or more. and that Solicitor General
Richards will be at the head of the Department
OF Justice in the interim.

The latter's selection is due to the insstence Of

An interesting report which recently has gained
currency is to the effect that Perry Belmont of
New-York. has been making quiet but strenuous
efforts to get place the commission. II is ex-

that when he learned he could not get Il he an
nounced TO friends in Washington his intention to

THE GWENT GOES ASHORE.
HER PASSENGERS LONG IMPERILLED IN
A LIFEBOAT-RESCUED WHEN
EXHAUSTED.

| Long Beach. Long Island, March 2i-The
| steamship Gwent came ashore in a thick fog
| last night and is now stranded half mile pe-
| yond the Long Beach cottages and about ooo
| yards from the shore. She struck the oeach
| at about o o'clock and Immediately began TO
| blow her whistle for assistance Inc fos was
so thick that nothing could be of the ves-
sci. The life-saving crew at once put off. 1t
came ashore early this morning. bringing the
seven Messengers who had had a rough expert
ence Captain Titland who was making his
4 first VOYAGE as captain, and his crew landed to-
| day.
| The Gwent is vessel of 30l tons She Is

was built in 1873 at West Hartlepool, England
She is owned by the United Fruit Company OF
New-York. and bound home with a cargo
OF bananas from Perrin and Banes, CUBA. ON
Sunday she ran into fog. Captain Titland
slowed down to half speed. and sailed by dead
reckoning. Ii would appear that he ran
more miles than he thought. and also made to
the eastward, as he was totally unaware OF
the proximity of the shore until his vessel was
on the sand bar. There was bad sea on when
the Gwent struck. and this made her position
dangerous. Had her nose been fast in the
sand things would not have been so bad as
they were. Instead of stopping when she hrst
struck, the little steamship ploughed through
the bar until she had her bow and her stern
free, but was fast amdships
Owing TO the swell it seemingly only
matter of a few minutes before she would break
in two. She strained and cracked. and Cap
tain Titland decided that the passengers would
be safer in the smallboats
The passengers were greatly excited when the
ship first struck, but calmed by the off,
GERS. One lifeboat and the dingy were lowered.
Into the latter a Cuban with his wife and two
young boys went, and the started to row
ashore. He foundering about with the
boat half filled with water three hours later
when the lifesavers found him. Those in the
lifehoat Jared better. They were in constant
danger. as the boat leaked. and two men had
to bail hard to keep the boat a1oat. They were
picked up by the lfesavers after search.
They were exhausted
All the passengers were cared for at the sta
ton. To-day they went 10 New-YOrk. Captain
Titand and his remained board until
the Merritt Chapman wreckeTs arrived this af
ternoon The ship then turned the
wreckers and the work of taking the cargo
will begin tomorrow. The vessel is resting
the bar. with II feet OF sand on both sides
amdships and with both bow and stern clear.
The passengers the Cwent were William
Yerkes and II. c. ROmney of Philadelphia;
Arthur Hernandez, OF Cuba; Mr. and Mrs
Charles II. Hines. Of Strattord. Conn, and their
children-Joseph. fourteen years old, and Theo-
dore Roosevelt. three years old. They reached
this city yesterday afternoon on the Long ISL
and Railroad.

PLOT OF THE MANAGER TO TAKE TIL

BRIGHTNESS OUT OF THEIR LIVES.
II Is not quite clear whether the following notice

the purpose of getting it into papers or partly
on account Of an exaggerated sense of proprietv
Mr.. Lederer is the Of man whose Purita ncaI
instincts might reasonably be expected 10 get the
better OF him now and then. This Is the notice:
Members Of the ladies of The Casino Girl COM

hnickerbocker Theatre. Monday. April 18TH must
be chaperoned 10 and from the theatre by some
adult female relative other equally feminine

attended by instant dismissal
, While the company is the road all ladies of
the chorus shall report before and after per
formances TO woman. who will be appointed for
that purpose. GEORGE w LEDERER
There are some remarkable things about this
notice. besides the mere fact that it was Issued.
For instance, Fthe first sentence implies that the
ladies' are 10 be dismembered and that their mem
bers are expected 10 pass and from the theatre
separately This disjointed wandering of the mem
ners OF the ladies' sounds distinctly grewsome, and
It is likely to be troublesome too, when every
member OF avery lady has to have chaperon.
Then there Is the harsh reauirement that. If the
companion .F not female relative she shall be

less feminine will not do She must he fully q
