NOT FITTED TO GOVERN,
Felipe Buencamino's View of Aguin-
aldo's CAPACITY,

81 am sorry not to have had an oppor-
tunity to discuss the Philippine question
with Mr. Sixto Lopez of Boston. the mis-
League of America" said Felipe Buen-
canine. member of the board of civil serv-
ice for the Philippines, to an Evening Star
reporter this afternoon as he was arrang-
ing to leave the city for Louisville. KY,
where he will call upon the widow of Gen.
the Philippines.
Everything l said in my testimony be-
fore hte House committee on insular
affairs relating to Auginaldo is borne out
by the latest news from Manila regarding
Aguinaldo's fear of assassination, &C." he
said with some degree of emphasis
Il regard Aguinaldo as honest in his con-
victions, but politically he is incapacitatcd
to govern people. A proof of this is his
request of Gen. Chaffee to be excused from
appearing as a witness in civil cases. /
regard it as an obligation of every citizen
to appear when called upon.
My latest impressions" Mr.. Buen-
canine said, ARE that the blessings Of
liberty in this country are the best in the
world. My greatest wish is that these
same blessings may be transferred to the
that they can reach there quicker through
the administration of the United States
than in any other way"
MIR. Buencamino will go from Louisville
to San Francisco. He will spend few
days with his sons. who are attending the
university at Berkeley, Cal, and will then
return TO Manila.

Civilian Employees of the Military
Government in Cuba

The President on July promulgated the
following order affecting persons employed
under the military government IN Cuba:
Persons who We're in the employ of the
United States in the military government
in Cuba and who are not eligible for re-
tenton in the classified service under ex-
listing rules, but have been specially COM
mended for appointment therein by the
chiefs of their respective departments. with
the approval of the Secretary of War, be-
cause of efficient services rendered under
conditions Of personal danger from yellow
fever and other tropical diseases, and
whose names are embraced in the list here
tofore furnished to the civil service COM
mission by the War Department, may be
retained and appointed to positions of
grade corresponding to that which they
now hold in the classified service, with the
consent and approval of the commission
The above order permitting the retention
in the classified service of certain employees
of the United States who served in Cuba
under the War Department, was made
upon the recommendation Of the civil SER
vice commission after a full investigation
of the records of those persons, who were
recommended by Gen. Wood, acting for the
War Department, by reason of the special
ly mertorious services rendered by them
in Cuba. Speaking of these people, Gen.
Wood, in a communication to the commits
sion. said: The applicants were selected
from those who presented themselves as
most fit. and obtained their positions on
their own merits. and by no other means"
This order affects 127 persons, out of
something over GOO formerly employed in
Cuba.

WAS NOT AN ORDER.
Gen. Smiths Language Regarding De
struction of the Filipinos.

Secretary Root will take the papers in
the cases Of General J. H. Smith and of
Major Waller with MIN when he goes to
oyster Bay next Friday, with a view to
final action thereon by the President. In
the meantime the Secretary declines to
announce the result of the trial of Cen
eral Smith. But regardless of the find
ings of the courtmartial it is practically
admitted at the War Department that he
will be reprimanded for careless and in
temperate language to Major Waller in
connection with the orders for the Samar
campaign.
The view held in official circles is that
General Smiths language was of a casual
character. not taking the form of an Off
cial order. and was more in the way of
an expression Of opinion by one officer to
another. The talk followed the Balangiga
massacre, when there was a general feel
Ing OF indignation, and the fact is taken
Into consideration that General Smith nat
urally shared In the indignation.
At the same time, the official view Ia
that an officer In talking with subordi-
nate on the eve Of a military movement
in which the subordinate Is to figure is
required to use the utmost circumspection
in language regarding the execution of
orders. so that possible misundersta nding %
and miscorstructions may be avoided
The reviewing authorities will probably
adopt the foregoing view in the final re-
view of the case. although until the re-
suit Is officially promulgated by the Presi-
dent the officials of the War Department
decline to make any disclosures as to the
decisions which have been reached.

IMPROVING THE CAPITOL.
Superintendent Woods Hopes to Have
Work Completed BY October.

Now that Congress has adjourned the
work of finishing the redecoration of the
interior of statuary hall, at the Capitol,
has again been resumed. and it Is the in
tention of Superintendent Woods to have 1T
completed entirely before the members Of
the q. A. r. arrive here in October.
The marble interior walls are to be fres-
coed so as to resemble polished mottled
marble. and the new ceiling, which was
finished after the winter session began, is
to be tinted. The skylight, which has been
yelled by a piece of cheesecloth. is to be
finished and surmounted by lantern" to
correspond to the lantern now being built
a the apex of the Supreme Court chamber
roof This will complete the exterior of
these two miniature domes on either side
of the great dome, and the architectural
retained. Other work of repair at the Cap
line Is the tearing out of the old and re-
the House document room. The cramped
quarters of this important legislative equip
ment has never been more strikingly APP
parent than during the session just closed,
during which the document room has ham
died more pages of printed matter than
ever before in its history during a session.
In accordance with the new plan much
room will be made through the storing of
unimportant documents in out-of-the-way
places. and space will also be gained
through the steel-shelving equipment,
which is not only more compact, but fire.

REPTILES OF THE WEST.
Remains Of a Family of Prehistoric
Terrors in California.

1eIIorS II CaufOrn1a.
From the ,Newofork Sun.
Long-buriedy remains of animals that
must have been as interesting and peculiar
as the grypton in.T'Alice in Wonderland
are technically described in a bulletin is
sued by the geology department of the
University of California. The author is
Prof John c. Merriam, who has done ex-
tensive archaeological work on the Pa
cific slope.
Under the forbidding title of "Triassic
1chthyopterygia from California and Ne
vada" Prof. Merriam publishes for the
first time several very interesting facts
concerning the winged reptiles that made
their home long ages ago on the Pacific
coast. No estimate of the size of these rep
tiles is ventured in the bulletin but some
idea of it may be gained from the fact
that several vertebrae were found that are
seven inches wide
In 1895, according to the bulletin, Prof.
Merriam received from Prof. James p.
Smith of Stanford University number of
vertebrae and limb bones collected by him
in Shasta county, Cal. Prof. Smith thought
the genus to which these remains belonSed
had its closest aff1nities with the ichthyosau
ria, or swimming reptiles. Last year Prof.
Merriam made two visits with parties OF
students to the triassic areas Of Shasta
county and unearthed a number of new
and valuable remains which he thinks cs-
tabliSh an entirely new family or subfani-
ly Of flying reptiles.
All Of the saurian material was collected
in two limestone areas in the northern part
of the county. Heretofore little but the
impressions left by the bones had been
found, but Prof Merram's party found a
number of actual specimens of bones
Nearly all of the specimens" SAYS Prof.
Merriam, ARE very firmly united with the
matrix in which they are imbedded They
are generally much like the rock in color
and structure, so that in many cases 1t
has been almost impossible to separate
them from it or even to define their limits.
In some specimens the difficulty in prepara-
ton has been increased by the presence of
irregular bodies of silicious material replac-
ing the limestone. Fortunately, many of
the bones are partly silicified, or a film of
silicious material has covered the walls of
the canals and cavities. so that it has been
possible to bring out their form and struc-
ture quite distinctly by the careful arpli-
cation of acids"
The collection includes considerable paris
of seven individual flying reptiles and many
isolated bones and teeth. Prof Merriam
thinks they represent nearly the whole
Of the skeleton except the forepart of the
skull and the distal or extreme parts of the
paddles. He recognizes the group as the
genus shastasaurus.
