The Republican State of
Mind and Philippine
Situation.
AWAIT TAFT'S REPORT
Recommendation Feared
Both Houses on
Subject.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The arrival
of Judge Taft. civil governor of the
Philippines, in Washington, is being
awaited with keen interest by repub-
lican leaders, who view the existing
military situation in the Philippines
with great alarm. They are hopeful
that Judge Taft will bring a solution
of the problem of government and
assimilation which will cause the
president To pat an immediate end to
the military scheme of recohstruc
tiOn which has been going forward
in variOus parts of the archipelago
for several months past. The publi
cation of reconcentrado orders by
the war department was undoubtedly
responsible for a visit to the White
House by Senator Allison yesterday.
The senator is understood to have
assured the president that the fulfill
ment of such plan will sooner or lat
er imperil the supremacy of the repuD-
Hcan party. Other republican SEN
ators who did not visit the White
House entertain views even more
pessimistic than those of Senator Al
lison regarding the situation in the
Philippines.
1t has been known in Washington
for several weeks that Gen. Chaffee
was establishing recommendation
camps in the province of Luzon, some
of them not far from the city of
Manila.
A Fine Spectacle.
One republican senator who was
identified with the agitation in con-
gress for the relief of Cuba because
of Weyler's fearful brutality, said:
What n spectacle il would be If
Spain or some other European pow
er not particularly friendly to us
would demand the enforcement of
humane methods in the Philippines?
What could our answer be. in view
OF our own acts in precipitating
war because of Weyler's reconcentra-
ton camps? 1t is infamous. That

TO say about the RECOMMENDATION or
der on the floor of the senate within

ton that Gov. Taft Is absolutely and
unqualifedly opposed to Gen. Chat
fees methods The governor does
not believe that the RECOMMENDATION
will restore peace.

ed today that Theodore Braemer.
secretary and treasurer of the j. and
+. Schroth Pack ing company. of this
city. was short i'm his accounts from
100000 To 100000. The story as
printed in all local papers was that
Braemer when charged with the
shortage of 100000 resigned from
his position and then transferred to
the trustees large amount of prop
erty to cover and shortage that fur
ther investigation might disclose.
Admits Resignation.
Braemer today admitted his resig-
nation and the transfer of property,
but denies any shortage existed in
accounts other than might be due to
erros in bookkeeping
Braemer had been with the firm 25
years. Braemer and his family were
noted entertainers and very prOmi-
nent socially.

retary of the Treasury Spaulding, act
ing upon the suggestion of the secre
tary of state, has directed that official
flags in future should not be displayed
by United States customs officers sta
toned in British North America. Some
time last summer Canadian customs
flag was forcibly removed by Ameri-
cans. from a building occupied by the
Canadian officials at Skagway, Alaska,
and that incident initiated Il corre-

ment between the United States and

flag in the territory of the other.

But All Is Quiet There Now and the
Slaughter Was Not Great.
Washington. Jan. 22.-Confirmatory
information of the killing of General
Alban, the governor of the department
of Panama, in the fight between the
revolutionary and the government
forces was received at the Colombian
legation yesterday. The dispatch was
from General ArpOna, who had taken
command in place of Alban. DR.. Sill
va, the Colombian minister, is encour-
aged to believe that there will not be
any attack on the city of Panama by
the revolutionary forces, as the volun-
tary retirement of General Herrera,
the revolutionary leader after the
sinking Of the Lautaro. is an evidence
hat he has not sufficient men to oper-
ate aggressively.
DR. Silva calls attention to the fact
that communication by way of the 18th
mus is still open for the Colombian
which is thus enabled TO
draw for reinforcementS on the cities
of Carthagena and BarranQuilla if it
SO desires. The fight between the
ships was not so bloody as had been
expected The Lautaro was sunk and
the rebel Darien was so badly dam
aged that she went ashore The reb-
els report seventeen wounded and the
government lost five killed and four
wounded.

more literary and moral kind of a play

tiles was a gradual transition. At this
