The authorities in the Philippines are

The authorities in the Philippines are
rapidly uncoyering the system by which
the insurgents received supplies which
enabled them TO carry on the rebellion.
The shutting off Of these supplies. to-
gether with vigorous prosecution of the
campaign against the scattered bands
and the punishment of the bandits who
terrorlze the people and violate all prin-
ciples of war; is rapidly bringing about
IN the islands. The malcontents prob
ably realize by this time that this coun-
try is not Spain and that when Ameri-
can soldiers start out to do anything
they keep at 1t until II Is done.

CIUN WILL ACCEPT.
Conditions Favorable for an Under
standing with the United states,


Louisville Courier-Journal (dcm)
All the indications are that the Cubans
will comply with the suggestions OF con
gross as TO the adjustment of their rela-
tions with the United states Seniors Capote
and Cisueros and the other revolutionst
leaders have already spoken. but there
does not appear from the reports from
Havana to be any general interest taken
In the matter. The truth, IL is pretty
clear. is that the majority OF the Cubans
recognize the important element OF safety
in the paramountcy of the United states
in their affairs for the present. The Span
ish element, who make up some OF the
best of the population. would much prefer
annexation, as they have great reason TO
dread conflscation Of their property and
other oppression should the radical Gle
ment get into power, and no doubt con-
servative Cubans feel the same way.
The suggestions of congress embody moth
ing that is offensive to Cuba or that will
inure to the prejudice OF the real interests
of the island. The self-respect OF Cubans
ought not to be wounded because the great
and powerful nation which undertook
war for their sakes now asks that some
concessions of mutual benefit be made. As
yet there has been no demand that the
Cubans reimburse us for the vast outlay
we have made on the island. but the United
States cannot in reason be expected TO
stand idly by when set of revolutionsts
not only rcpudlate their obligations, but
prepare the way to involve the island in
serious financial and other troubles. Should
they be permitted to go their way and con-
tract entangling alliances with other ma
tions. make discriminating treaties against
our products, the United States would have
to interfere anyhow.
The key to this whole matter is that the
Interests OF Cuba are in direct accord with
those of the United States. For seventy
hve years, even when the queen OF the
Antilles lay helpless under the black flag
OF Spain, this has been generally recog.
nized. Cuba has a position that gives he,
tho naval command OF the Gulf OF Mexico
the mouth OF the Mississippi, the projected
Nicaragua canal The most vital int
ests OF the United States demand that this
position OF vantage be, IL not under Ameri-
can control, at least allied with U.S. Tn,
Monroe doctrine would else be nullifed. On
the other hand, America Ia the best market
for the Cubans and America can be trusted
to deal with them more fairly and more
intelligently than any other nation. In the
to look for assistance but to the United
States? II would be reflection on the in
telligence OF the Cubans to say they did not
understand this and are not willing TO act
In accordance.

Thousands invested in the company
largely on the strength of the names of

Naval officers OF the line. who are op-
posed TO promotion from the ranks, have
done their best to render the experiment
a failure by giving the officers thus pro-
NOTED uniform which will remind every
one that there are two kinds OF American
naval officers-one come from Annapolis,
who wear full dress uniform and have
the social recognition which this gives, and
another class OF officers come from the
ranks, who are debarred from social recog-
milton and have a uniform marking their
lower station. An officer Is an officer and
to be "obeyed and respected accordingly"
or he is not. No discipline can stand

Home Rule for cities.

The nineteenth century test OF democ-
racy was its capacity to rule nation
composed of states whose people lived for
the most part in the country or in small

be its capacity to rule the great cities
which will dominate many OF the states.

EXPECT FURTHER NEGOTIATIONS.

EXPECT FURTHER NEGOTIATIONS.
A London dispatch states that the Of
ficials of the Foreign office are annoyed
at the statement cabled from this coun-
try that the British answer to the sen
ate amendments to the y-Pauncefote
treaty left no opening for further ac-
ton. On the contrary, it Is said that
the British Foreign Office expects further
proposals and that there Is no desire on
the part of the British government that
the matter shall be dropped. 1t is the
view at Washington also that the reply
did not close the way to further ne
gotiations.
This puts better aspect upon the
matter than was given 1t by the first
report of the character of the answer
which stated that SO fur ms the British
government was concerned the subject
was dropped and that no way was left
open for renewal of negotiations. Had
that statement been correct the effect
would undoubtedly have been to arouse
n good deal of resentment In this coun-
try, but as IL is the feeling will be that
the British government has shown II
friendly disposition In the matter, doing
nothing more than our own govern
ment would probably have done in like
circumstances, and that there Is no good
reason why the United States should
not invite further negotiations. What

SATURDAY BALL GAMES.

 Lehigh defeated Rutgers at base ball Saturday afternoon by 16 to 0. Princeton beat Tufts Saturday in a -one-sided game by score of 23 to 4. The many costly errors of Tufts and the timely hitting of the home team decided the game The chief features were the work of Underhill in the box and at the bat, and Meier's fielding for Princeton, and Chapman and Stollwor- thy's fielding for Tufts. The visitors were weak in the pitchers box and made inexcusable fielding errors. This is Prnceton's last game before, her southern trip.
 Yale beat Manhattan college Satur- day afternoon in the opening game of the season by a score of 19 to 5. The game was not notable for any fea- lures, save Yale's two home runs in the first inning and a jumping catch by Sharpe, who brought down wild throw by Guernsey. Tine fielding of both teams was ragged. '

FOLLOWERS of golf in the east

"
 FOLLOWERS of golf in the east
 may never know or realize how
 near their official representatives in the United States Golf association brought them to a split with the great body of adherents5 of the royal and ancient game in the jurisdiction of the; Western Golf association. Happily, however, the conservative element in the U. s. G. A. prevailed and the amateur championship for this year will be played during the first two weeks of September on the links of the Atlantic City Golf cluS in New Jersey.
 Had the national organization in sisted upon ignoring the plea of the west for a date later than June, golf have been made. I am in position to know that the man who represented the Western Golf association in the annual meeting in New York city, Vice President Hobart c. Chatfield- Taylor, of the Onwentsia club, would have communicated the ultimatum of the west to the U. s. c. A. that the Western Golf association would worry along without the national body.
 In nutshell, the west asked that the big event of the year be set for 9 date that would be late enough to permit the western golfers to get into form-that would mean. of course, some time after the annual championship of the W. G. A. The facilities for play on the inland links are not the best until June, at the earliest. Sea coast courses have such varieties of climate and physical qualities that play all winter long naturally affords the eastern golfers an advantage over their western rivals.
 The telegraph furnished real sen sation when it was reported that John Reid,. .'the father. of golf in America" and first vice president of the United States Golf association, had made the motion before that body that the annual championship be held in June. He subsequently, withdrew his opposition and the Att lantic City course was chosen as the place and September was assigned as the all-important month. Mr. Reid IS the GranQ OlQ Man or GOlf and the founder of the St. Andrews Golf club, named after the celebrated Scottish club. With Robert Lockhart, Mir. Reid introduced the game to the United States and he has travelled ex- tensively to see the effect of his sin oculation," so to speak. It was sup posed that when the amateur cham pionship was held at Lake Forest in 1899 and Mir. Reid gave so many ex- pressions of friendship for the west ern golfers that he would have been the last man in the national body to insist upon a date for the amateur event which would shut out thou sands of square miles of the United States without single golf repre- sentative in the national tourney. I
