PHILIPPINE CONsTABULARY.
Captain Allen Urges hat the Present
Force of 2.5Oo BE Doubled.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE War De-
partment made public today a report of
Captain Henry T. Allen, Sixth Cavalry,
dated Manila. Dec. Is, concerning the Phil
ippine c~onstabulary, of which he is chief.
Captain Allen says the constabulary con-

Nueva Viscaya, Bataan, Principe and In
fanta. Up TO the date of the report there
had been only two men lost from the force
by desertion-a showing attributed TO the
care In the selection of the men. Captain
Allen says that experience has shown that
the cost Of a single constable for one year
does not exceed $3.50 gold, while the cost
or maintaining an American soldier ordi-
narily is reckoned at about $1,000. Captain
Allen states that In chasing down the rob

Is more efficient than the American troops,
and, while one large garrison in many OF
the provinces may be always necessary,
ii is his opinion, after a thorough study of
conditions, that in a years time 1900
American soldiers, with the native con-
tlngent OF troops and c~onstabulary, VIII
suffice to garrison the Philippine archl-
pelago.
Captain Allen says that the general con-
clifton of the islands as regards pacifica-
ton has never been so favorable as now.
when the "crumbling from the top is duly
manifest. In his opinion the campaign in
progress in Batangas and Laguna will
be the coup de grace Of the Instruction.
The better class of people, he says. are
tired of the struggle and ardently desire
peace. The recently enacted sedition law.
he says. has had a potent value in bring
ing evildoers to a realization of their al
legiance to law and order. In a recapitula-
ton of the work of the constabulary for a
little over four months. it is shown that
in fifteen engag ements twenty outlaws have
been killed, twenty rounded and 35 cap
tured.
Captain Allen says that while the NUM-
cipal police have in large part aided both
the army and the c~onstabulary 1T is lack
ing in organization, armament and instruc-
ton, and cannot be reckoned on for serious
work without these Advantages. Captain
Allen believes that the present force of
$500 men in the constabuiary should be
doubled. and submits ar estimate for the
maintenance of such a force, including
subsistence, transportation. quarters and
equipage, of 81. ESQ, 600 a year.

To-night's session of the convention was

ing with foreign guests and addresses
were delivered by Mrs. Emmy EVald, OF
Sweden; Senorita Carolina Huidobro, repre-
senting Chile; Hiss Florence Fenshaw, dean
of the American College for Girls in Con-
stantinople, and Fraulein Antoine Stole,
representing Germany. They spoke in an
entertaining manner, touching the social
conditions Of the women in their countries.
Miss Fenshaw declared that the women
in Turkey have enormous power. She said
the general impression that Turkish women
are shut UP behind the latticed windows
of the harem and have little chance to
go about the city is far from correct.
Polygamy is fast giving away, not from
moral conviction on the part of the Turks,
but because of their lack of means to sup
port large families, the Turkish wives of
this generation declining TO live together
under the same roof. What, she asked, is
this but an assertion of right on the part
of these women. Speaking of educational
advantages open to women, she said the
Christian women are unquestionably ahead,
and the Americans have made rapid prog
ress in the high schools established by
private benevolence.

ences that befell Caleb Johnson. Mississippi
river pilot. when he attempted last week
to explore the mysteries of Dead Mans
cave, at St. Genevieve, just across the river
from this point. The cave remains as much
a mystery as ever, for Johnson was with
out a light for most of the way, and has
no idea to-day how far or where he wan
dered. He only knows that he entered the
cave in Simms, in the bank of the river, on
Monday morning, and that on Thursday
afternoon q farmer found him in a sink
hole on his farm four miles from the en-
trance. Johnson accomplished nothing,
save, perhaps, to take away the supersti-
ton that no one could go far into the cave
and come out alive.
Such has always been the reputation of
Simms's Hollow, or Dead Mans cave, and
it has been borne out by the disappearance
the tradition of the town is true, who went
in to explore and failed to return. Johnson
was equipped with everything that a man
could carry which would serve TO make
such a trip easy. When he came TO the
mysterious river which runs through the
cavern he embarked in a canoe to cross
the stream. The current was swift, and
when he effected a landing on the other
side he was far from the point of entrance.
Tying the canoe, Johnson started out to
explore the grim darkness. After several
hours of exploration he returned TO the
river. but could not find his canoe, as il
had become unfastened and drifted away.
He first endeaVOred to swim the river, but
failed. He hen started along the banks
of the stream, but was soon lost in the inn
penetrable darkness. the rays of his lantern
being unable 10 pierce the gloom.
On Tuesday a party started out to rescue
the explorer. but after an all-day's fruit
less search of the cavern returned. The oil
in Johnson's lantern gave out. and after
that he was In absolute darkness. Still fol-

by the noise of the rapidly running water,
Johnson walked all that night with no
signs of a place of exit. Day followed day.
and at last when he had given up all hone
of rescue he came to a turn and saw ahead
a glimmer of light. Crawling down a mar
row passage he emerged into the open air
and lay faint from exhaustion. helpless in
a hollow, where he was found late on
Thursday afternoon by a farmer. who con-
veyed him TO a house in the neighborhood.

shock caused by his terrible experience.
