CHOLERA IN PHILIPPINES.
Causes More Concern Than That
Threatened Outbreak of Moros.

The officials of the War Department are
more concerned at present over the out
break of cholera among the troops in the
Philippines than they are over the reported
intentions of the dattos of Mindanao to
lead the Moros legions into holy war"
against the Christian invaders Every
possible precaution has been taken to pre-
vent the spread of the dread contaglon,
and the latest advices from the Philippines
encourage the officials to the belief that
the worst is over.

General Sternberg when questioned on the
subject, lis not Gripping the efficiency of
the army interfering with it in

precautions have been taken
THE natives pay no attention to sanitary
advice, trusting principally to prayers and

measures out of sheer Indifference and urs-

PRIVATE WHILDEN'S STORY.
Said He Was Trying to Get to His
Diving Mother

Nothing has been heard at the War De-
partment of the case of Private Robert E
Whiden of the Sd Battalion of Engineers,
stationed at Washington barra cks who is
reported to have been arrested by the civil
authorities at Baltimore yesterday while
stealing a ride a railroad car. Accord
ing to the Baltimore Sun he told an affect
ing story to the justice before whom he
was taken of his unsuccessful endeavors to
reach the bedside of his dying mother at
Cheyenne, Wyoming.
He said that soon as he heard of her
Illness he applied for furlOugh from his
corps. but could not get 1t extended beyond
ten days. He thought, with coed luck. he
might be able to make the trip. He had
sufficient money to tip a brakeman oCci-
sionaly and to get him food while route,
but all Of his plans were upset by his ar
rest. With Whilden was young man
named Charles Clifford. Both were COM
mitted in default of $40 and costs.
The young soldier wore a full uniform of
khaki and showed his ten days furlough.
Whilden wept copiously when he was COM

reaching his dying mother vanish.
At the Washington barracks this after
noon it was stated that Whilden went away
on a furlough, with the intention of going
to his home.

WILL BE TRIED HERE
FOREIGN SYSTEMS OF WIRELESS
TELEGRAPHY.
Return of Lieut.. Hudgins Expected
Soon-Station to Be Erected at
Annapolis.

The Navy Department has In contempla-
ton a plan to establish a wireless tele-
graph station in San Francisco harbor.
AS already stated, the department has no
adopted system of wireless communication,
but expects to begin series of expert
ments at different points throughout the
country with several foreign systems In
very short time. Lieut.. Hudgins OF the
naval bureau of equipment, who was sent
abroad to purchase apparatus for trial. was
expected here some days ago, but the de-
partment Is now advised that he mas
changed his plans and will leave Germany
on July IL for New York. Lieut.. Hudgins
brings with him the apparatus OF two
French and two German systems of wire
less telegraphy, and these will be tried, to-
gether with the Marconi system, at New
York Annapolis, Washington, San Fran
cisco and at other points to be selected
hereafter.
Rear Admiral Bradford, chief of the bu-
reau of equipment has placed all matters
connected with wireless telegraphy in the
navy in entire charge of Lieut.. Albert NJ
Beecher. That officer contemplates the
erection of mast at Highland light, New
York harbor to be used in signaling pass
ing vessels. 1t has been contemplated to
use the imported apparatus first In at
temptS to communicate between WaSnlIS-
ton and Annapolis but some apprehension
is felt in regard to the physical nature o.
the land between those two points which
may not yield easily to these initial expert
ments.
Nearly all of the big warships of our
navy have been fitted with elongated maStS
for wireless telegraphy experiments. but
the present plan of the Navy Department
is to try the systems first on land
Naturally the introduction of wireless
telegraphy into the navy brings with it a
need for efficient operators, and Washing
ton and Annapolis have been selected as
the points where men will be sIhOoied IN
handling the delicate transmitting and re-
caivin2 Instruments.

IT WAS THE KINGS CHOICE.
To Have His Coronation Date Set
EarlV as Possible

LONDON, July S.-The news that the
coronation of King Edward was to be held
before the middle of August was published
in America before it was known here. But
the London Times and other papers this
morning confirm the Associated Press an
nouncement. From the same excellent
source the Associated Press learns today
that the pressing forward of the coronation
was due to the personal insistence of the
king.
His doctors were at first opposed to such
early date but the king declined to
agree to any other plans until he is
crowned, and the doctors, finally realizing
that more danger was likely to arise in OPP
posing his majesty on this point agreed to
it. They now see the king was right and
that it is far better for him to get through
the turmoil of the coronation as soon as
possible than to have it hanging over him
tOr months.
King Edward has determined not to break
up the court at buckingham Palace until
after the coronation. He may go on board
his yacht for a few days cruise, but he is
more likely to remain in London till the af-
fair is over and then take a prolonged holi-

A rumor gained currency today that John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine

II he should come it will be on his own
responsibility and without having made an
engagement to see the President.
1t is quite likely that in a week or ten
days a conference will be held with the
President by Representative Littlefeld
of Maine with respect to the antitrust bill
which Mr.. Littletield is drafting. This in
terchange of views will be made the basis
of the first draft of the measure.
While the executive offices in the town

the President has let it be understood that
he will spend little time in them.

advocate general of the navy has rendered
an opinion bearing on the manner of the
appointment of midshipmen by United
States senators in compliance with the pro-
visions of the law for the increase of the
number of mids shipmen at the academy. 1t

absence of express stipulation, senator's

canc!es existing to which they were entitled
u appoint candidates at once, and whether
or not they would be allowed to hold their

shall be appointed in the same manner as
those appointed by representatives, and
that they be made al once.
