Recommendations TOR the Army.


The report Of Secretary of War Root
is long and exhaustive, but its i'm
portAnt recommendations are sum
married as follows:
~ That the strength Of the regular
army 30 maintained at 60,O0O.
2 That general staff for the army
be created.
i3 That the title of commanding
general be abolished and the title of
ehief OF staff substituted therefor.
a.. That tho best possible educa-
fionai advantages be afforded to the
young officers of the army who CANE
into the service during the war with
Spain without West Point training.
=. l5.l That the Militia bill passed BY
the House at the last session of Con-
gress be PASSED by the Senate.
70. That the Anti Canteen law be
repealed.
"a. That the Moros be dealt with in
the same manner as the government
dealt with the Indians-that is, to al
low them for a period to maintain their
tribal governments under the authority
and supervision of the United States.
8. That the duties levied in the
United States upon products of the
Philippine Islanands imported there
from be reduced TO % per cent of the
Dingley tariff rates.
90. That the gold standard be estaB
lished in the Philippines.
The limit OF GO, 600 as the strength of
the regular army will be considered
satisfactory it is sufficient for times
Of peaoe.
No doubt general staff, for the army
would be better than the present system,
witch seems 70 permit of preferment
through favoritism, instead of merit.
Perish the thought that that the title
of general should give way to the title
of chief Of staff. Fancy the commander
of our army being addressed as
Chief" instead of receiving the
resonant greeting of General. :"
To the fourth and fifth recommended.
tions there should be no opposition,
and the best Information and soundest
sentiment argues in favor of the repeal
Of the ''molly- Anti -Canteen
law.
As to the Moros, independence for
sho ohtIHo bofribofy VI tue philippines
viii be the best settlement of the
problem that oonfronts us there, or of
any part of it.
AZ to the eighth recommendation,
still better would it be to establish
absolute free trade with the Philip
pines, instead of allowing a reduction
Of only % per cent Of the oppressive
Dingley tariff rates. And if we are to
hold these people as unwilling subjects,
instead of allowing them the right of
self government, this is the only decent
course open to us.
The Recommendation to establish the
gold standard in the Philippines is
timely, as we'll as sound, as reports in
dicate that there is already much con-
fusion and trouble in business circles
there by reason of the prevailing silver
standard and the extremely low price
of silver.

NO YELLOW FEVER THERE.
Report That the Disease Had Broken
Out In Willemstad contradicted.

San Juan, P. R., December 1S.-The
report that there was yellow fever at
Willemstad, Curacao, has been con-
tradicted, and with the exception of
the Chicago, the ships assigned to
Curacao for the holidays will proceed
for that port. The mobilization has
been decided success. In the pre-
liminary drills some greenness was
seen on the part of those ships which
were not accustomed to cruising to-
gether, but practice is improving the
organization of the feet, which is now
satisfactory.
The inner harbor at Culebra is very
suitable for naval base. Admiral
Coghlan has placed heavy mooring
buoys in the harbor and provided for
other facilities.
Admiral Dewey has ordered the fleet
to husband its coal so that fuel will
be available when the maneuvers are
resumed after the holidays.
