Report Of Mr.. Hunt.

Mr.. c. B. Hunt. the computing en-
gineer, in reporting upon the complaint
yesterday, stated that the necessary re-
pairs to this alley have been given quite
thorough attention by his Office.
"The difficulty in this case" he says,
lis that the alley, which is OF moderate
grade and is paved with asphalt block,
IS subjected to the action OF water to
an extraordinary degree. especially due
to the presence OF a large bakery at its
upper end. The result has been that the
runways in the middle of the alley have
worn in such 4 manner as to hold con-
siderable quantities OF stagnant water.
Remove Asphalt Block.
Some three years ago it was sought
TO make a repair of these conditions
with the use OF burners, but this was
successful only to moderate degree. and
its continuance Is not recommended.
The suggestion that the office would
now make is that the defective portion
of the asphalt block in the center OF
the east and west alley be removed and
replaced with vi,rifed block, the block
removed to be used in other portions of
the alley system where the conditions
are not SO extreme. 1t is thought that
this material will better Withstand the
action of water. and an expenditure. es-
timated at $500, chargeable to the ap-
preparation for streets and alleys is
recommended for approval"

EXPECTS PEACE SOON
GEN. BRECKENRIDGE TALKS OF
THE PHILIPPINES.
Thinks One More Campaign Will Bring
About Pacification of
the Islands.

SAN FRANCISCO. February 28.-Brig.
Of the United States army, returned on the
transport Hancock from tour Of inspec
ton of the Philippine Islands. He will re-
main in the city for few days before re-
turning to Washington to make his report
to the War Department. In discussing the
situation in the Philippines he said:
The islands cannot be said to be entirely
pacified, for certain amount Of guerrilla
warfare is going on. The military forces
are not operating to any great extent just
now, as this is the rainy season. After
the rains are over l expect the soldiers will
penetrate to the interior and bring about
peace.
Il visited forty different posts and found
that there is room for great improvements.
The posts were much better, however, than
l expected to find them. The Signal Corps
has done glorious work on the islands.
That branch of the service has lost more
men than any other department. l believe
that If the strength of the Signal Corps
was doubled down there the work would be
Quadrupled.
Governor Taft has made great advance
ment toward placing the islands on a peace
full and substantial industrial footing
THE schools in the island are flourishing
The white teachers who have gone to the
Philippines are accomplishing great results
but believe that 1t would be great thing
If native teachers of the Philippines were
sent here to study our form of govern
ment
II think that the day is not far distant
when Manila will nave a population of
million inhabltants-yes, a million and
half. 1t Is a great seaport and the Philip
pines are most valuable possession

LONDON PAPERS REBUKED.
Westminster Gazette Criticises Atti

LONDON. Feruary 26-The attitude OF
the English newspapers toward the visit
Of Prince Henry of Prussia to the United
States has called out rebuke from the
Westminster Gazette which cautions the
responsible papers against continuance OF
a policy whereby Great Britain Is placed In
the awkward position Of seeming desirous
Of making bad blood between Germany and
the United States. while putting in claim
of gratitude on her own account on. the
score Of past fayors. 1T is not dignified
and is scarcely well-bred,' says the West
minister Gazette. ito remind the United
States Of obligations We have no reason to
suppose they will forget. and 1t is certainly
not polite to display anxiety in regard to
the possible results of the friendly meet
Ing between the President and the German
prince
The paper then proceeds to sound note
Of warning against carrying resentment to-
ward Germany to the point of endeavoring
to make mischief between Germany and
another country. in view of the already
strained relations occasioned by the zig.
gag policy of the government. which threat
ems to place Great Britain in a position of
antagonism to both Germany and Russia"

WANT AMERICAN PROTECTION.
Gen. Hughes View of What Filipinos
Desire,


In the course Of his examination today
before the Senate committee on the Philip
pines General Hughes, who was provost
marshal general in Manila during the
American military rule there, explained
the establishment Of a hospital in that
city for lewd women. He said that he
alone had been responsible for this act.
which had been SO freely criticised in the
United States, and that he did not regret
his act.
General Hughes also told Of the condi-
tion Of the civil prisoners turned over by
the Spanish authorities when Manila was
surrendered. There were 1900 of these and
many of them were cruelty ironed. The
irons were Immediately taken off the pris-
oners and there was a pile of half a cord
Of iron.
General Hughes said that he had been a
member of the commission appointed to
deal with Aguinaldo's government He said
that Mabini, speaking for Agunaldo, said
requisite to any arrangement. The wit
ness did not, however. believe that Agui-
naldo's people really knew what they want
ed. All seemed to desire American protec-
tion.
Governor Taft continued his statement
today before the insular committee of the
House. Referring to the Philippine tariff.
he advocated a reduction of I5 per cent on
tobacco, sugar and hemp. He emphasized
the need Of increasing the appropriation
for permanent military posts, as the pres
ent system OF using churches, schools and
private houses as soldiers quarters did not
assist toward tranquility. At times, too. he
said, the officers took the best houses for
their quarters, and occasionally there were
delays in paying the rent for native quar-
ters. He said there should be 1000 more
American teachers in the island. In ex-
planning the question Of the friar lands,
Governor Taft said 1t would be desirable
for Congress to guarantee the bonds to be
issued for the purchase of these lands.
as it would secure a low interest rate. The
hearing continues tomorrow.

MISS STONES RELEASE
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT BY
MINISTER LEISHMAN.
State Department Approves All Ac-
tions of It's Representatives-Im-
munity for Brigands.

SAIONICA Roumelia. February 26-Miss
Ellen NJ Stone and Madame Tsilka will
start without delay from Salonca for Con-
stantinople In the meanwhile the iber-
ated missionaries are staying at the mis-
sionary headquarters, where they are re-
ceiving the congratulations of their col
leagues.
The State Department received cable
gram this morning from United States Min
lister Leishman At Constantinople, contain
ing the first official announcement IL mas
had of Miss Stone S release.
Mr. Leishman cabled that Miss Stone was
suffering from fatigue and nervous Straln,
and would not attempt to move from Strum-
nitza to her home in SalOnica until Wed
nesday or Thursday The dispatch is dated
Yesterday, so these dates refer TO TO-DAY ana
tomorrow. 49,
Now that the captive is released the State
Department does not hesitate to announce
it's full approval of all that has been done
toward effecting that release by Minister
Leishman, Mr.. Spencer Eddy, the secretary
of legation and charge, and by Consul Gen.
eral Dickinson. Secretary Hay has person
ally expressed to Mr.. Spencer Eddy, VINO
is now in this country, his appreciation OF
his conduct and of the skill and energy
with which he acted in the initial stages
of the attempt to release the captive.
Whether Mr.. Eddy will return to Constan-
tinople not is for himself to decide, but
if he does not care to return to his post
the State Department will provide for MIN
otherwise in the diplomatic service.
The department finds it impossible at this
moment to determine upon the next step
to be undertaken in this case. There is
reason to suspect that pledges have been
given by Miss Stone and by the rescuing
agents. which will very much complicate
any efforts to secure the punishment OF
the brigands. If no such promises have
been given, then the State Department Will
,,,,flx hot H.
garia to pursue these brigands even to the
point of determination. if necessary. But
until further report is had from Miss Stone
and from Minister Leishman, the depart
ment is unable to move. for there is yet
doubt as to the nationality of the brigand
kidnaperS.
