mates Necessity for Soldiers.

New York. April I4--General Rus.
sell a. Alger, IA Secretary 81 War,
originated the plan of sending the
thousands OF prisoners captured In
Santiago Province back to Spain, thus
successfully solving u difficult problem.
Although he is no longer connected
with the war department, he has fol-
lowed events in the Philippines closely,
and made some interesting suggestions
regarding them here on Saturday.
General Alger believes that the cap
ture OF Aguinaldo has made further
aggressive campaigning in the Philip
pines not only unnecessary but unwise,
and he would reduce the troop station
ed there, possibly 10000 men, TO just
enough to man the garrisons, which at
liberal estimate would not be more
than 5000

General Alger, '.has vitality changed

I'VE have now about 10000 men In

pense Of maintaining 50 many men

garrison purposes. II was estimated
by some observers that we would have
70 keep from $4,000 70 10000 men In
Cuba, and 5000 have proved enough.
The Philippines are now facing the
American army. The time has arrived
when they. may be pacified and the
cessation Of the aggressive movement
ON orr part will do much toward build
ing up confidence.
IAN immediate reduction Of our force
to 5000 men will also invite their con !.

Improved Mail Service.

Washington. April l6-Reports re-
ceived at the post office department
shows that the mail which left Circle
City. Alaska. on March 4, for Valdes.
by the all American route between
those points, broke the time record.
the distance was made in - days and
four hours, which L. three hours faster
than any previous trip. The post office
department is steadily developing the
service along this all American route
and has reduced the time between Cir
Gle City and ValdeS from 30 days to a
little over II days, with a proportionate
Improvement along the rest OF the way
down the coitst.
Better equipments have been sent to
the stations there recently and, while
IL has not YET been deemed best to di-
vert the letter mail thence from the
older route over Canadian territory via
Dawson, that probably will be done ia
the near future.
Mining operations in the Copper river
country. according to the latest official
advices, are likely to tempt an influx
Of population that will justify especial
attention.
