Arrangements are being made by
the officials of the war department
for the transfer of the engineers
school of application and the engi-
neer battalion at Willett's Point, N.
Y, to Washington barracks, in this
city.
This was the first step in the estab-
lishment of the proposed army war
college here. The engineers school
will be conducted on much the same
lines as have been followed at Will
lett's Point for the instruction of the
officers and men Of the engineer corps.
In addition to this officers of the 9TH
er arms of the service will be ordered
to the war college for course of in
structlon in the theory of war. The
college is intended to supplement the
West Point Military Academy and
the practical artillery school at Fort
Monroe md the cavalry and infantry
school at Fort Leavenworth, Kas.

Gen. Macarthur, formerly military
governor of the Philippines, was
caller at the war department the
other day and had a talk with the
officials there regarding the situation
in the far Eastern possession of the
United States. I saw General Mac
Arthur sh ortly after he left the war
department and questioned him re-
garding Representative HILLS esti-
mate that 40, 900 troops would be
needed permanently in the Philip
pines. He said: "It is impossible for
any one to tell what future require
ments will be-. Personally he ex-
pected to see much smaller force
suffice, but he reminded me that the
Americans were constantly overlook
! ing the fact that it is no small task to
transform 8, 900, 900 of people from
Spanish to American institutions aud
methods. Upon several things, how
ever, there is fortunately an agree
ment between the Filipinos and
Americans. The desire for schooling
is the most notable of these. The ma
tives also like our civil government
and in time the more advanced o.
them will help the Americans greatly

Washington. Recent maritime dis
asters with their attendant appalling
loss of life at sea have created re-
newed interest in the subject of life
saving at sea. In this connection a
competition to be opened at Havre,
France, this week for the best means
of saving shipwrecked passengers and
crews is being closely watched by the
life saving services of European coun-
tries as we'll as our own. In order to
stimulate inventors a reward of $50, :
900 goes to the successful exhibitor.
The donors of the prize are the
heirs of the late Anthony Pollok of
Washington, D. O., was among those
lost in the wreck of the steamship La
Bourgoyne, off Sable Island, July 4,
1898. The prize is given to honor and
perpetuate the memory of their rela-
tive and with the hope that some in
ventor will come forward with q
practical appliance to avoid a repeti-
ton of such terrible disasters.
During the present year the shock
ing story of few half-dead passen-
gers arriving in port, the sole sur
vivors of mighty engine of marine
navigation, seems to have figured es-
pecially prominent in the news of the
day. Not infrequently it has occurred
that the steamer has gone down in
plain view of the shore, as was the
case of the Rio de Janerio in the har-
Dor of San Francisco. Here the irony
of fate in conducting passengers al
most to the threshold of their desti-
nation emphasizes the catastrophe.
In nearly every case the stricken
steamer rests considerable time be-
fore sinking, and it is the knowledge
of these few moments and the posi-
bility of Grew to utilize them upon
which is based in part the hoped-for
solution of the problem.
