Washington, Aug. 1s.-secretary Root
and Governor Taft are in correspondence
regarding the construction of 600 miles Of
railroads in the Philippines. It is pro-
posed to build a line from Manila north
thru Luzon to the harbor at the north
ernmost end Of the island. Another
projected line is a branch from this north
and south line over the mountains to the
eastern coast Another proposed line is
from Manila south to Batangas. A line
along the west coast Of Luzon from Dagu-
pan, the present terminus of the Manila
& Dagupan road to the north end Of the
island also has been suggested
The propositions contemplate aid by
the Philippine government by guarantee
of the interest in case the roads prove
unable to pay such interest out Of the
earnings.
The secretary Of war believes that the
construction Of these roads would settle
for all time the question of possible in

BLACK BY RECLAMATION
General Miles Is Not a Candidate for G
A. r, Leadership.


San Francisco, Aug. 18.-AlI opposition
to General John c.. Black of Illinois to
succeed General Stewart as commander
in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public has vanished with the announces
ment by Lieutenant General Nelson A.
Miles that he would not oppose the ILL
nois man. The election of General Black
by reclamation Is expected, and the same
compliment for Miles In 1904 Is antici-
pated.
Many members Of various auxiliary or
CARNATIONS have come to this city and
all are enthusiastic over the cordiality of
their reception and the harmony mani
tested by all branches Of the national
service here assembled. The Women's
Relief Corps and the Ladies of the Grand
Army are in close affiliation, and their

the day. The National Association Of
Army Nurses has established headquar-
tiers in the residence district Of the city

surrections in the island Of Luzon. For
police and patrol Of the islands the roads,

Constantinople. Aug. 18.-The Russian
squadron of warships, which left Sebas-
topol yesterday, is expected to arrive off
the Turkish coast this afternoon to sup
port the demands made on Turkey by
Russia in connection with the assassina-
ton, Aug. Z, Of M. Rostkovski the Rus.
sian consul at Monastir The fact that
Russia Is about to make a naval demon
stration In Turkish waters has been kept
a profound secret here, the public being
entirely ignorant Of the Russian move
ment.
The notification received here Of the
sailing of the squadron was an unwel-
come surprise to the Turkish government,
which had pretended to believe that the
Rostkovski incident had been closed with
the punishment Of the guilty parties.
The most recent advices received here
from Monastir were forwarded Sunday
night and announced that the fighting be-
tween the insurgents and Turkish troops
in the vicinity of Krushevo continued and
that many refugees from neighboring vii
lagos had congregated at Monastir. Sew
eral villages, inhabited by Greeks, it was
added, had been set on fire by the insur-
gents. According to advices received at
one Of the foreign embassies at Constan-
tinople, no less than 800 Musselmens have
been massacred thruout the district of
Monastir by insurgents, whose move
ments continue to gain ground.
To Much Red Tape.
Enmer Rushdi Pasha, who is nominally
in command of the Turkish troops operat-
ing In the Monastir district, is seriously
hampered in his efforts to suppress the
insurrection by the fact that the instruc-
lions he received from here are con-
stantly changing and that when a move
ment Is undertaken counter order from
the palace alters the whole situation.
The Turkish commissariat department is
in a wretched condition. The troops at
Monastir, for instance, have not been
served with rations of meat for six weeks.
The insurgent bands in the vilayet OF
Adrianople are also active One band
recently captured a detchment Of sixty.
Turkish soldiers near Haskell, close to the
Bulgarian frontier. Twenty four bat
talions of reserves in the vilayet Of Ana
tolda have been summoned to the colors.
The repeated attacks made by the in
surgents on the railroads and the made
quate protection afforded by the Turkish
authorities have compelled the railroad Of
ficials to order, in spite Of the protests
Of the military commanders, suspension
of traffic on the Salonici, Monastir, and
Uskub lines. .E-

Wands who was away almost two years. speaks in
fatterIng terms of the officials he met and the
countries he visited, and says that the four coun7
tries 10 which he was accredited will send fine
exhibits to the Exposition, extensive and
complete than at the Chicago Fair. The major part
exhibits will consist OF the agricultural and
meteorological products of the country. In the
course Of his travels Mr. Wands rode more than
two thousand mics horseback. 1.-The transpor-
taton facilities" said Mr.. Wands, are of course
primitive, a rule.
when 1 was my way to BogOta the Magda-
lena River was incOnsiderate enough to run dry
and 1 had to spend seventeen days on the back of
a horse That illustrates the difficulties Of travel

The four countries l visited viii send the finest
exhibits in this country from South

quality Colombia is wonderful country In the

CHINA YIELDS TO RUSSIA.
M4NCHURI4 TO BE HELD.
Picking officials Finally Forced to
accept the Cars Terms.

Picking Dec. 7.-Prominent officials here assert
that China is concluding an agreement with
Russia for the government of Manchuria. It
is expected that the arrangement will substan-
TALLY include Russia's supplementary terms for
the evacuation, and will nominally confirm Chi
nese sovereignty. while giving Russia an adj
visory share in the government.
At the recent Palace conferences three plans
were discussed-war against Russia, an appeal
TO friendly nations for assistance. and settle
ment with Russia on the best terms obtainable.
The first plan was dismissed suicidal The
second failed. Since then China has been I'M
able TO suggest other plans, and the United
States and Japan. TO whom she appealed, have
been unable TO see any practicable steps to be
taken. The third plan was therefore adopted.
