Some days ago the Philippine Commits

Drake has been attacked by the Manila
papers and the fire department severely
criticised By them.
The commission cablcd the War Depart

Commission should certify to the Philip
pine Commission the name of the man
whom they thought best fitted to fulfill
the duties of fire chief of Manila. After
looking over the field the commission
recommended The appointment Of Mr..

Danger of Connasration.

Most OF the cheaper dwellings in Manila
and other Philippine cities are constructed
Of bamboo or other light woods and
thatched with grass. so that a confagra-
tion spreads rapidly and may easily grow
to alarming proportions. The commits
sion therefore thinks it especially desira-
bic that the IRE department should be Of
the highest character.
Mr.. Bonner was for many years fire
chief in New York and is noted through
out the world for the admirable manner
in which he conducted that department.
He is now on the retired list. but his re-
tirement was due more to political differ
ences than to age

Fitness Agreed Upon.

Colonel Edwards. chief of the 1nsuIar
Bureau; Secretary Root. and the Presi-
dent were all struck with the fitness OF
Mr.. Bonner, and he was requested to
visit Washington 10 consult with the
President. lie did so. and saw President
Roosevelt and Colonel Edwards, Secretary
Root being cut OF the city.
Mr.. Bonner was inform d that he would
not only be chief of the Manila fire depart
ment, but would have general supervision
of the fire departments in the other cities.
As chief Of The Manila department he was
offered $4,000 a year, and allowances Will
be made him for his services in orgRniz-
ing the departments in the other cities.
To Americnnize Departments.
1t is the intention Of the Pnilippine
Commission to thoroughly Americanize
these fire departments.
At present Manila has a paid fire de-
partment. but the other cities are COM
PEELED to rely almost exclusively upon vol
unteer service. AS they are equipped
mostly with antiquated engines and reels
the service is very unsatisfactory
The Philippine Commission proposes to
make the Manila department model in
all respects and to reorganize the others
as fast as possible. number OF engines
Of the latest patterns will be ordered from
the United States, together with other
equipment.
Americans will be placed in all respon-
sible positions and will be assisted by Fill
ipinos. All members of the department
will receive pay as in American cities.
