washington, August 25.-The census office today issued preliminary report on iiiiteracy among men of voting age in city and country districts in tho cen- sus year 1900 The report includes under the term .illiterate" those who can neither read nor write. and also small number who can read but cannot write.
 In the United States as a whole, ex- cluding Alaska and Hawaii the male population at least 21 years of age and living in cities having at least 25,oOo in- habitants. was 5ss5, GA. of whom s49. .22s, or 6 per cent. were represented as iilit- crate. In the rest of the country the number of voting age was 15,24S e55, of whom 1,s54,247. or IS per cent, were re- ported as illiterate.
 These figures indicate that illiteracy among adult males is less than half as prevalent in the large cities es it is in the rest of the United States. The diff ference, the report says, is due largely to the fact that the urban population of

Not eoIna ae a Tourist.

New York. August 25.-Gen. Nelson A. Miles will sail for the Philippines with In a few weeks, says a Herald dispatch from Boston. He is reticent as to the ob- ject of his trip. When asked if he was going on his official capacity. he replied:
 Well, I'm not going as tourist. neither am I going for my health I cannot tell you till I get there what I will do."
 "Will you take any part in the negotia- tions relative to the friars' lands?"
 No"
 'Will you confer in any way with or make any suggestions to the civil gov ernment there?
 No. I will have nothing to do with any matters outside of my profession"
 General Miles declined to answer other questions relative to his trip.
 A Washington dispatch regarding the Boston report declares nothing Is known in the office of Adjutant General Corbin regarding the intentions of Lieutenant General Miles to go to Manila The gen. eral would not have to report to that office his intention to leave the coun- try, but 1t is not thought he would take such a step without communicating his intention to the secretary of war or the President.
