MEASURE THAT PROVIDES CIVIL

Arrival at San Francisco Of the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.--TLe secretary
of war has communicated to Congress a
cablegram from the Philippine commits
sion indicating a grave crisis in the mon
etary affairs of the archipelago. The mes
sage was communicated to Congress in
connection with a mass of memoranda
bearing on the problem which is now to
be solved, as to the coinage Of some kind
Of silver to take the place of the Mexican
dollar in the Philippines. The commission
has cabled that the stock of silver in the
islands is rapidly diminishing, and it ur-
gently requests an answer to the message
sent on Sept. 5, setting out the necessity
for prompt action, and asking what remedy
shall be applied 1t has been found i'm
possible, apparently, to continue the ratio
of to /, established and maintained ar
bitrarily, and the Mexican money is be-
ing drained away very rapidly towards
China and India making it difficult for the
army disbursing, officers to transact their
business.
MANILA. Dec 31-The Philippine COM
mission has completed the preparation of
general municipal government bill. The
provisions, in many respects, are similar
to General MacArthur's order, establishing
municipal governments and authorizing
elections but they are much more elabor-
ate covering all details. The most impor-
tant new feature is the establishment OF
land taxation and doing away with the
sedula Ger head taxi and taxation on peo-
Piles occupations. A feature new to the
Philippines is that the revenue from land
taxes is to be expended where 1T is col
lected. The manner of holding elections.
and the duties of officers are prescribed. A
decision in the San Jose Medical College
case has been deferred until Saturday.

Gunboat Scorpion to Protect Amer
lean Interests in Venezuela.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The Navy De-
partmeht has ordered the Scorpion to pro-
coed at once to Laguayra, Venezuela, to re-
place the Hartford at that port. Dis
quieting reports as to the conditions in
Venezuela are coming to Washington
through unofficial sources, though 1t is not
difficult to obtain more or less positive de-
malls of the accuracy of these reports. 1t
is said that Hernandez, the dreaded Gel
Mocha" and one time aspirant for the
presidency, who has been in confinement
for more than year, has regained his
liberty and there are expectations of a
rebellious outbreak. Minister LOOMS s
latest report is a mail advice, and, while
dealing principally with the questions that
have arisen respecting the rival asphalt
concessions in Venezuela, also tends to
show the existence of feeling of unrest in
the country.
The dispatch of the gunboat Scorpion is
due to the troubles growing out or asphalt
concessions and the purpose is TO afford
all due protection to American life and
property, should either become endangered.
At the same time the relief of the Hart
ford will permit that ship to go to Port
of Spain, in the near vicinity, and ex-
change crews with the cruiser Buffalo,
which arrived there to-day, en- route to
by naval officials to the dispatch of the
Scorpion, although 1t is admitted that it
is directly connected with the troubles in
Venezuela. Although comparatively
small boat, the Scorpion has demonstrated
her effectiveness In action. During the
Spanish war she engaged three Spanish
gunboats in the harbor of ManzanilIa
driving them ashore and blowing them up
with her five-inch guns. This performance,
together with her speed, has given her a
record of marked efficiency in the navy.
The trip from San Juan, where she is now,
to La Guayra will take about three days

CoIviIle a Victim of Forgery.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-Since his arrival in
London, Major General Sir Henry Colvills
has received information tending to show
that Lieutenant Colonel Spragge actually
received forged telegram, purporting to
be signed by Gen. Colville, dated Lind
ley, May %. saying: II am badly in
want of mounted troops. Come here at
once" This telegram was sent off three
days before General Colville reached Lind
ley, and was the cause of Lieutenant Col
Spragge fastening there.
One of the principal charges against Gen.
Colville is that after appealing to the yeo-
many for help he abandoned them to their
fate. Il never heard of this telegram %
said General Colville, until now But It
explains the mystery of my alleged mes
sage to Colonel Spragge. 1t was known
at the time that some one was tampering
with the wires near Lindley in the interest
of the Beers
General Colville reported himself at the
War Office to-day. General Sir Evelyn
Wood, the adjutant general, merely sent a
subordinate to meet the general.

NALLY SUCCEEDS PARKER.
New General superintendent of the
Postal Telegraph Company.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-Leander D. Parker,
general superintendent of the Postal Tele-
graph Company, has resigned, and E. ].
Nally, assistant general superintendent,
has been appointed to the office. The resig-
nation and appointment will take effect
tomorrow. The post is one which entails
the management of all the wires, offices
and business of the Postal Company west
Of Pennsylvania, north Of New Orleans
and east of Arizona. Mr.. Parker has held
the position since 1888 and Mr.. Nally has
been his assistant since 1890. Mr. Parker's
retirement was due to poor health.
General Superintendent Nally was born in
Philadelphia, April IL. 1850. He moved with
his parents to ST. Louis in 1868, commenc-
ing work in 1870, with about two years in
tervening of school life up TO 1875, when
he started with the Western Union Tele-
graph Company in September of that year
as a messenger boy, and has not lost one
days wages since. Mr.. Nally was pro-
NOTED i'm 1878 to a position of junior clerk
in the office of the assistant general SUI
perintendent, then held by Colonel Clowry;
was advanced to important clerical posi-
tons, leaving in March, 1881, to go to
Minneapolis and take a place in the Of
flee of /. McMichael, superintendent of the
eighth district, Western Union Telegraph
Company, who had been Mr.. Nally's old
chief in ST. Louis. Mr.. Nally was APP
pointed chief clerk to superintendent Nc
Michael in 1856, resigning in October, 1880.
to accept the position of assistant to Gen.
eral Superintendent Il. ID. Parker, Oh the
Postal Telegraph Company, at Chicago. A
short time later Mr.. Nally was given the
full title of assistant general superintend-
ent, which position he has held up TO this
time. At one time he was the only all
night messenger boy in ST. Louis and while
there were enough messages TO keep him
occupied at night there was no great rush.
Newspapers now connected directly with
wires leading to all news centers, then de-
pended on the delivery Il messenger of
their press dispatches sheet by sheet. He
has seen the telegraph business grow dur
ing the quarter of century from a COM
paratively small volume to its present i'm
mense aggregate, and has especially been
i'm touch with the extension and great
growth in the South and West, through
his connection with both companies.
