TO SELL ARMY TRANSPORTS.
Secretary Root Recommends Grant
ing Them American Registry.

Secretary Root has prepared a bill to
send to Congress providing for the abol
ishment of the army transport service
and authorizing the War Department TO
sell the transports and contract with
private companies for the transportation
Of troops and supplies.
There Is one obstacle in the way OF the
sale of the transports which the bill pro-
poses to overcome. Owing to the fact
that nearly all the vessels are foreign
built, and were purchased of foreign
owners, they have no American registry,
and are therefore difficult to sell.
The bill proposes to grant American
registry to each of the transports. They
will then be sold by the War Department
and arrangements made for the transport
tation of troops and supplies by contract
The War Department is to be given the
right TO take control of the vessels at any
time should occasion require. and use
them as army transports.
In case OF war, the Government is to
have absolute possession of each of the
vessels, and in this way il will have at
all times feet ready for instant ser
vice.
Mr. Root has decided to order home
from the Philippines the Ninth Infantry
The Thirteenth would have been the next
to come home in order of length of duty,
but the Secretary considered the service
of the Ninth in China, and lately in Sa-
mar, in making the selection.

the hall which was the churchs frst
home.
Without any very large donations. but
from its weekly collections. the church
has paid its debts and obligations, and
now owns its land and buildings, free of
encumbrance. 1t has been one of the larg-
est contributors in the Association OF
Southern Presbyterian Churches to all
outside charities, such as the home and
foreign missions.
The members of the church, in addi-
tion to being opposed to debt, would not
raise money for the church by holding
fairs, or other Usual methods of securing
funds, nor would they rent pews. The
church property now consists of a chapel
and a comfortable house of worship

one of the most successful in the city.

In all this time it has had but one
pastor, Rev. Alexander W. Pitzer. for

BREACH OF TACT ALLEGED.
Capt. Thomas Perr!, of the Iowa.
Called Upon to Explain.


Secretary Long has written to Capt.
Thomas Perry, of the Iowa, asking for an
explanation of the sLeech he is reported
as having made at a public banquet in
the course of which he is alleged to have
stated that in the event of war be-
tween Chile and Arge ntins he believed
that Chile would win.
While it is believed by naval officials
that Captain Perry will explain the mat
ter satisfactorily, they are forced to ad
nit that naval mmanders while on dis
tant and foreign stations, are sometimes
guilty of breaches of tact.
Captain Perry, however, has always
been known as a man exceedingly con-
servative in his speech, and this fact en-
courages them in believing that he VIII
send a denial OF the report. So far as
can be learned Argentina has made no
complaint to this Government.

VEGETABLE LIFE IN
THE PHILIPPINES.
THE SOIL Is VERY PRODUCTIVE.
Sweet Potato Used for Many Pur.
poses-Mountain Races Utilize
1t for Preserves and
Sweetmeats.

From official material in the Division OF
| Insular Affairs of the War Department
the following information has been as
| sembled concerning vegetables and their
cultivation in the Philippine Islands.
The luxuriance of plant life In the
Philippines takes a wide range in species
and varieties. The soil, on account OF
the tropical climate, produces a rich va
| riety of vegetables, with little care on the
| part of human labor.
WatermeIons Are Plentiful.
The watermelon, SO prominent in the
summer products of home and market
gardens in the United States. is well rep
resented in the islands. The pea is cul-
tivated and grows wild in certain locali-
ties The bean family is also well repre-
sented. The yam grows to great advan-
| tage in all the islands. The pumpkin and
squash cucumber and muskmelon are also
common.
The vegetables and garden plants, under
their native names, are the Butingui, the
true kidney bean. The zabache, the pa
tani and the frijole are abundant in Abra
Province. The calabaze, a variety or
squash. is used for stew. The camote is
the we'll known sweet potato. Its culti-
walton is greatly favored by mountain
races. 1t is used as food, either boiled
or roasted: and is also made into pre-
serves and sweetIneats. The candol, an
other variety of squash, is also suitable
for making sweets.
Gardens Cultivated by Chinese.
Although the natives do not care much
for the cultivation of garden plants. gar
dens are found near the large centres of
population generally cultivated by Chi
nese, the products being used by Euro
peans.
Among the vegetables cultivated are
onions, garlic, asparagus, radishes, cab
bage, artichokes, lettuce. endives, pep
pers, tomatoes, carrots, celery, parsley,
and the haras, native plant whose fruit
contains seeds having a sweet flavor sim
liar TO anise.
The milondaga, a melon of the size of
4 mouse has flavor similar to the Gu
cunlber. Patola, variety OF cucumber,
large and long In size, of a sweetish fia-
vor and agreeable odor, is eaten green or
boiled. The pepino, cucumber, is eaten
boiled or picked, and also served as
salad.
The potato in the Philippines Is only
cultivated with success in certain ele
waited localities such as the mountains
Of Benguet. and even in this place are of
small size. Tabacog is the true melon.
Tabayag is a variety of squash.
Santa Ana Vegetable Market.
The town Of Santa Ana, within the
police jurisdiction of Manila, on the left
bank of the Pasig River, three miles dis
tant, with population of over 2,ooO Is
the centre of vegetable gardening for the
markets of Manila.
Since the American occupation of
the archipelago this branch of agriculture
has received q great impetus in the vi
cinity of all the larger cities like Manila.
Ilo!Io. and Zamboanga, where there are
American or European residents. and
particularly in the vicinity Of important
military garrisons.
