Insular Government Revenues.
Discussing the Philippine tariff bill. he
declared that no revenues were needed by
the insular government In the Philippines,
as 1t had ample funds. The sole object OF
the bill was that the Philippine archipelago
should be exploited and be made to furnish
an opportunity to the few to reap a golden
harvest from the islands.
He declared further along with respect to
Cuba that the purpose of the administra-
tion was to give protection to the Cuban
plantations in order to put millions Of dol
lars in the pockets OF the sugar and tobac-
co trusts. Thus 1t was too. with the Phil

Supplant Each Other.

A change will shortly be made in one OF
the principal divisions of the adjutant
generals office, War Department. Captain
Jesse w. Lee, the present head of the di-
vision, Is about to retire from that office
in favor of Mr.. Charles Brandt, his chief
assistant. Captain Lee and Mr.. Brandt are
both veterans Of the civil war and each
served in the Maryland Volunteers. Mr.
Lee was captain Of the Sd Maryland Volun-
teers and entered the clerical service OF
the War Department in November, 1865.
He reached his present grade In May, 1900
Mr.. Brandt's clerical services began in
March. 1869. and he became fourth-class
clerk in the adjutant generals Office in
July, 1900. Captain Lees health has been
impaired by the extra duties imposed upon
him since the Spanish war, and he has
asked to be relieved of the responsibilities
devolvng upon the chief of the division
He will therefore exchange places with Mr..
Brandt and continue in the Office in a more
subordinate capacity.
