WANT BRYAN FOR GOTERNOR.
HE MAY HAVE \ CHANCE TO RUN On a FU
SION TICKET IN NEBRASKA

Grand Island Neb June 22-The Democratic
and Populst State conventions will be held II
this city on Tuesday. and already the question
of whether fusion on the State ticket will be &C
complished is a toDic of earnest discussion or
both sides. Several party leaders hope TO effec
a combination Of nominations and platform;
that will be acceptable to the fusion forces. an6
argue that such an arrangement is the only one
by which election of the ticket is possible
The question of whether William ] Bryan vii
accept the nomination for Governor is one or
which perhaps. depends the possibility of a com
bination ticket Little doubt is expressed tina
if Mr. Bryan shall permit his name 70 be useC
the rest will be easily accomplished Ex-Sena
tor William Y. Allen Will go to the convention
with the expressed intention Of obtaining Mr.
Bryan'S nomination.
With Mr. Bryan eliminated from the possibfn
ties il is hard to predict the action of the tive
conventions but many believe there will be TIVE
full tickets in the field. There will be a dozeI
candidates. many OF whom have already Securet
Endorsements by county conventions
Among the POpulStS mentioned for the heaf
of the ticket are Senator Allen, DR. F. c. Coffin

HALF A MILLION LIVES SAVED.
GENERAL WHEATON SHOWS BENEFIT OF
AMERICAN OCCUPATION OF
THE ISLANDS.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO The TRIBUNE. ]

lb1 IELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNFl
San Francisco. June 22-Major General I>ovd
here to-day, after three and half years Of SER
vice in the Philippines. According to officers
who have served in the Islands no man is better
qualified to speak of the conditions of Luzon
and the result attained by American occupa-
tiOn than General Wheaton. There is hardly a
province or district of Luzon where he has
not been and personally directed military opera
tions and the esta ablishment of civil govern
ment. General Wheaton would not talk on the
charges of cruelty that have been made against
the American soldiers in the Philippines but he
made this statement as showing what American
occupation meant:
The devastation of has cost many lives,
and the loss among the natives has, no doubt,
been large, but when one takes into considera-
ton the hundreds of thousands of lives that
have been saved by reason of the sanitary pre-
cautions of the American army and the Civil
Commission, the loss by seems infinitesmal.
Smallpox became epidemic soon after the Amer
leans took Manila, and would have caused
frightful mortality among the natives, we'll
as among the troops, except for the regulations
and precautions Of the medical authorities Of
our army. Compulsory vaccination was en-
forced in every province and town throughout
the country. In that way we saved thousands
of lives. In General Bells department three
hundred thousand vaccinated. Later,
when bubonic plague seemed bound TO obtain a
foothold in the Philippines, the army stamped
il out bv determined action. At present cholera
is raging, but ! believe that the health officers
have the disease well under control. These dan
gers have been met and overcome by Americans,
and it is perhaps no exaggeration to say that
half a million lives have been saved by the
presence of Americans in the Philippines
General Wheaton Will be retired July H.
after forty-one years of service. Although his
work of the last four years has been extremely
arduous and difficult, General Wheaton does not
show il. His black hair and beard are slightly
tinged with gray, and his sharp. blue eyes make
lii, l.1ly wear
is Old friends who greeted him to-day re-
marked that he looked younger than when he
sailed for Manila in February 1899, and one old
comrade OF twenty-five years ago said that he
was the same when he suppressed the famous
Fenian raid Fort Pembina. He will remain
in San Francisco for several days. and VIII then
probably go TO Washington TO give information
about the Philippines
An officer who has followed General wheat
on's operati in Southern LuZon careIuiiy
said that his handling of the natives did more
than ANYTHING else to end the war in that sec
tion General Bell. under his orders established
zones of protection which were not concentra-
tion camps but devices to protect the natives
from the I,adroneS. The result that the
E,;Iipinos learned to respect and admire A1nerl-
cans and thousands took the oath of fealty.

GENERAL CAILLES'S TESTIMONY.

Manila June 22.-The former insurgent gen

authorities in June of 1901, has notified to the
board which is Investigating the charges of cru

against American officers and soldiers In Taya-

in regard to the conditions which existed in
Tayabas Province prior to his surrender. ard
