Washington, July 17.-In the case OF
General Bragg, United States Consul
General at Havana. the State Depart
ment has heard from Minister Squiers
and also indirectly from General Bragg
The General takes the ground that this
is purely personal matter and that he
is not therefore open to official criticism );
that he had right to say anything he
pleased in a personal letter to his wife
and no one had right to question her.
Thus the General neither admits nor
denies the accuracy of the quotation. As
the matter has been formally called to
Mr.. Squiers' attention by the Cuban gov
ernmcnt, it is expected that General
Bragg reply will be sent to the Presi-
dent for action.

Silver Dollars for Philippines.

Washington, March 2S.-The Re
publican members of the senate COM
mittee on the Philippines held meet
ing today and passed finally upon the
provisions of the Philippine govern
ment bill. The currency question was
the principal topic of conversation
again today and the provision for sup
plying the Philippines with circulat-
ing medium as prepared by the sub
committee composed of Senators ALI
son, Beveridge and Dubois was finally
passed upon. This provision, as has
been heretofore stated, is that there
shall be coined a Philippine dollar of
the same weight and fneness as the
Mexican dollar and the British dollar
It is to be bullion dollar, but the
volume is to be limited only by the
demands of business.
The coin will carry an American
device on one side and an oriental
design on the other, and it is calcu-
lated that it will in time be very
popular coin throughout the eastern
world.
The amendment also provides for
subsidiary coinage sufficient to meet
the wants of the Philippine people.
The coinage of this silver will be done
both in America and in the Philip
pines. The dollar provided is made
legal tender in the Philippines but not
in the United States.
The Republican members at their
conference also considered the question
of authorizing legislative assembly
for the Philippines, but concluded to
omit all legislation Of that character
and also to make no provision for
delegates or commissioners in congress
from the Philippines.
Provision for complete census of
the islands is, however, to be included
in the bill.

Pennsylvania Dutchman to obey those
in authority:
In 1864 Sheridan, under orders,
burned every barn from valley above
Staunton to certain point below Win
chester. A band of angry rebels fol-
lowed this raid, watching for a chance
to pick up any stragglers. Among
others who fell into their hands was a
little Pennsylvania Dutchman, who
quietly turned to his captors and in
quired.

writ, issued by chief Justice Frear,
Smith is held on bonds to appear
April, 81. The Circuit Court Judges
met this afternoon en- banc and deci-
ded that the Supreme Court order was
void, having been issued without the
defendant being brought before the
Court. The Circuit Court Judges
keld that Smith is in contepmt, while
the Supreme Court has allowed him to

Lands of Philippine Friars.

Washington. March 27.-Archbishop
Sbarretti and his secretary, Mgr.
Broderick, called at the war depart
ment today and had short confer
ence with Secretary Root. 1t appears
that the issue now presented to the
government there is one of important
interest to the Catholic Church.
Primarily it resolves itself into the
question whether the settlement of the
Philippine friar land problem shall be
effected in Manila OR whether it shall
be adjusted at Rome. Archbishop
Sbarretti, becoming archbishop at
Manila, will be the nominal owner of
all the lands and real properties
belong to the friars orders in the Phil
ippines Therefore he will be the per-
son to whom application for purchase
of lands would ordinarily be made. The
application in such case would be by
the Philippine commission, and the
transfer of the properties would be ac-
complished in the usual and ordinary
legal means common to condemnatory
proceedings, such as are provided for
in the pending Philippine government
bill.
But another proposition is under
consideration at the White House, and
that is to have the proceedings con-
Quoted at the vatican by the religious
supericrs of Archbishop Sbarretti on
the one hand and by legal represen-
tatiye of the United States government
on the, other. In such case it has
be been suggested that Gov. Taft might
stop at Rome on his return by the
eastwad route to the Philippines. The
proposition is understood to be strong,
" urged by Archbishop Ireland and
Archbishop O'Gorman, who would
possibly, in the event of its adoption,
accompany the first representative OF
the United States government to visit
the vatican in an official capacity.
Mgr. Sbarretti later called on the
nresident
