Washington, April 1S.-The secretary
Of war has placed in the hands of the
senate committee on the Philippines a
larfge number of orders, circulars M
reports bearing upon the conduct of
military affairs in the unpaciied prov
inces of the Philippines.
On December oath last, Captain w. Z
Ayre, adjutant general of the Sixth
brigade issued a circular to the station
commanders in Samar in which the
conviction was expressed hat the
wealthy classes or "pudientes' among
the natives were, while protesting
friendship toward the American, more
responsible thar n others for the con
tinuance hostilities. Under such con-
d%itions, he said, the only course to pur-
sue, you'd be one that would create
in the minds of all a burning desire for
peace-a desire or longing so intense,
so personal, SO real, that it will impel
them TO join hands with the Americans
in the accomplishment OF that end"
Announcing the policy of the brigade,
he said it would be from tnis time on
to wage war in the sharpest and most
decisive ann possible.
Giving Instructions for the carrying
out of this order. he said that under
officers were to be given great latitude
for this conduct in harGSSing the enemy,
and that natives, and especially those
of wealth and influence, were to be re-
garded with suspicion, adding: Every
native, whether in arms or living in the
nlPn1nS or IN rriOS will no ra-or 6c1 and
treated as an enemy until he has con-
clusively shown that ne is a friend"
Suspected persons sho,ud be apprehend-
ed and if there was not sufficient evil
dence to convict then, they should be
held as a military necessity. This di-
rection was made especially applicable
to priests, of whom Captain Ayre said
that their profession would not be
sufficient to protect them"
In February 1902 General Smith, the
brigade commander in Samar, a%nnoupc-
ed that he was convinced opposition
had crumbled away and counseled a
softening Of the rigors of war, saying:
"Watchfulness and kindness henceforth
must go hand-in-hand."
In December. 1901, General J.F. Bell
issued a ircular saying: Wherever
prisoners or unarmeo or defenseless
Americans or natives friendly to the
United States government ale murder
ed or assassinated for political reasons
and this fact can be established, it is
his purpose to execute a prisoner of wa
under the authority contained in Sec
ton SO and 14S. This prisoner of war
will be selected by lot from among the
officers or prominent citizens held as
prisoners of war;. and will be chosen
when possible from those who belong
to the town where the murder or assas-
sination occurred"
Several orders were ssued by General
Bell against permitting any monopoly
of food porducts and eXtortion in prices.
In structions were gwen to make ex-
ceptions as to all persons who had dem
| onstrated loyalty. Their lives, families
and porperty will net only be given
perfection, so far as possible, against
insurgents, but will be carefully re-
spected by u troops"

WILL MAKE OFFICIAL
 COUNT OF BALLOTS
OFFICIAL RESULT WILL BE DE- cLAREp TOMORROW JELKs, MAJORITY WILL BE OVER 10000.
 REPS. CARRY FOUR COUNTIES.

The official count of the ballots in every county in the state will be made tomorrow. and the exact vote will then te known.
 From the latest returns 1t now appears that the majority of Governor JeIks over his republican opponent. J. A. W. Smith. will reach over 4O.e00.
 The republicans have little to say about tho result. They frankly admit they ex- pected to poll much larger vote than they did, and that the lilly whites" would make a better showing at the boxes in Alabema. Their hopes for a heavy vote were dispelled early Tuesday night. and little later they fell back cn the hope of sending Street to congress from the Seventh district, but Wednes- day morning they were forced to con oede the victory of Burnett.
 So far as heard from the republicans carried only four counties, Marshall. St. Clair. Chiffon and Winston. though in several others the vote was close, notably In Etowah.

Successful Plan of the Old
 Soldiers Home
cONFEDERATES TO MEET
Matters of Importance VIII Come Be. fore the Alabama Division of the U. c. V. at It's Meet
 Ing In Montgomery.

Matters of importance are to come up before the meeting of the Alabama Divi- sion of the United Confederate veterans which meets in Montgomery next Wednesday at noon and will be in session for two days. The most important will be the election of a division commander and of three brigadier generals, which will be done immediately after the meet ing Is called to order.
 There are several committees to report, among them is the one appointed last year to investigate the claim of North Carolina that she furnished more sol- diers in proportion than any other state in the Confederacy.
 It Is probable some report will be made on the Alabama Soldiers Home at Mount Pleasant which is almost completed and at present has a number of old soldiers occupying it. The home was to have been dedicated on next Friday, but owing to some misunderstanding this will have to be postponed.
 Colonel John W. Bush said last night: 
 "The home is ready and even the large auditorium Is practically completed and will be ready in a couple of weeks The only thing needed on the Camp Hardee cottage is the paint and that will be on by tonight There are five cottages fin- ished. capable of housing a number of old soldiers comfortably.
 '"rhe auditorium, which Is being built of logs, is nearing completion. Over $16Oo worth of logs have been sold each log be- ing valued at $10. The plan Is to allow people to dedicate a log to some ones memory they paying s10 for the log, which the home furnishes and has en- graved.
 ''The plan is working well and every day Captain Fall5ner sells several logs. By this means we are erecting a nice auditorium at practically no expense. The date for the dedication has not been de- eided on When it is dedicated Camp Hardee will send down a large party to take part in the exercises"
