consisting of three two-minute rounds.
In the midst of of the bouts word whis-

LAX METHODS IN THE CONfMISSARY
DEPARTMENT THAT MADE STEAL
ING POSSIBLE-MACARTH
OFFICIAL REPORT

Washington. May 24.-The mail from the
Philippines to-day brought to the war Oenar,-
ment the report Of General Macarthur on the
investigation Of the frauds in the Comuissary
department at Manila. The report exonerates
Coiohei woodruff but criticises some OF his
former subordinates for lax methods
II appears from the official reports that Colo
mel woodruff had SET foot an investigation
OF the irregularities. especially those relating TO
the sales OF commissary supplies before the ar
riNaI OF MAJOR West. The latter began an inde-
pendent investigation. When Major West he
came depot commissary he found a very lax
state or affairs. There were several large ware
houses mostly in charge Of cornmissarv ser
seshus' ana no way OF holding these non-com-
nlsslohed oflcers responsible for the property
nhoer their charge. Major West decided to take
an inventory before proceeding with other bust
ness. but found this almost impossible. because
individual stock books for each warehouse had
not been kept under the former management
As large amounts Of goods were being sent out
from each warehouse daily the opportunities
Tor irregularities induced the commissarv SER
geants civilian employees and teamsters to en-
gage in the business Of selling commissary sup-
plies.
HOW THE SCHEME WAS WORKED
Orders would be given by a commissary SER
the civilian teamster of certain goods This
teamster would deliver the goods to persons TO
whom they had been previously sold by some
other individual in the conspiracy and the
money would be divided pro rata among the
men engaged in the scheme The lax methods

Il is said, and OF Captain Read allowed the
system 70 go Major West in reporting on
the general conditions recommended that a
commissioned officer be placed in charge of each
warehouse and held responsible for the prop
erty
From report made by Colonel Woodruff it
appears that he became satisfied that the pur-
chase privileges Of the commissary stores in
Manila were being abused. This induced him
20 make an investigation, and IL was found that
hour, bacon and other supplies were being sold
in Manila II also found that the rations
which were not used by the troops were being
disposed of, and this attributed largely 10
the sales made by the returning volunteers.
Colonel Woodruff also found that Read had
cepted rebates from a cigar dealer, and through
a naval officer had solicited a percentage from
vegetable contractors There stealing TO
certain extent the lighters, something that
was very hard to prevent owing to the condi-
uons prevailing in Manila Harbor and the
methods of unloading goods from the transports
TO the lighters and thence to the shore.
II is said that the men who engaged in the
peculations expected 10 cover the losses by
boards Of survey which would report certain

THE PHILIPPINES JUDICIARY.
DIsCONTENT AMONG THE NATIVES OVER
THE APPOINTMENT OF ANERI-

Manila, May 24.-The discomfort among the
natives at the appointment Of American Judges
and alleged determinations in the Civil Service
in favor Of Americans is finding expression en-
couraged by OF the native judges, who

Judge Ner. Of the Court Of First Instance Of
Tondo. one Of the leaders Of what is beginning
TO be called the Radical wing of the Federalists,
declared to-day that If such things continue
there will be a second revolution. Some OF the
prominent Federasts ridicule the prediction.
The Philippine Commissions selections OF
Judges were thoroughly considered. It is unde-
liable that most Of the native judges lack the
competence required. One of them has been
removed for malfeasance, and others are sus.
r7ected OF Irregularities. The classihcauons or
The Civil Service avoid determinations, but
