PEACE AND QUIET RULE
PROVINCE OF PARAGUA
One of Most Primitive of Philip
pine Archipelago.

The report of Capt. William a. Philips.
Tenth United States Infantry. governor
of the province of Paragua, r. l., for
the year 1902 has been received at the
Bureau of Insular Affairs, War Depart
ment. 1t says in part:
"Paragua is one of the most primitive
provinces of the archipelago. with a
large area and a sparse population. The
capital was established at Cuyo, and up
on the organization of the constabulary
detachments were stationed at Cuyo,
Coron. Taytay, and Areceh.
There has been entire absence of any
disturbances of the public peace, OF law
less violence or seditious conspiracy.
and also of ladTOnism There are no
convicts serving sentence in the prov
ince, and only one prisoner is held in
the provincial jail awaiting trial for
crime.
"All of the municipalities are self
supporting. have no debts. and have a
fair balance in the treasury. The prov
ince is large and the population is scat
tered and considering the fact that al
most all OF the land in the province is
public land, mostly timbered, the In
sular government will be obliged to as
sist in the support of the provincial
government until some development
richest provinces OF the archipelago.
The revenue from timber alone will sup
port the government If some capital car
be induced to start in the timber busi-
ness.
by a strict quarantine OF all boats OF
every class, and by the rigid enforce
ment of sanitary measures the province
has been kept free from cholera except
at Areceli. 1t was confined TO this
part and by the end of October had en-
tirely disappeared.
THE schools OF the province receive
the support of the people. but the trouble
is 10 find teachers who can teach Eng
lish. Cuyo. Coron, and Areceli have
American teachers and a large number
OF the children speak English fairly
we'll
The wild tribes have been peaceful
and quiet and show a disposition TO
settle down and form barrios. In the
Calamianes almost all of the Tagban-
ouas have paid their cedula tax.
Since almost the entire province is
public land IL is suggested that it be
surveyed and opened for homestead set
tlement. The governor believes that the
laws and measures at present in force
will result in complete success.

tiOnS in That Line.

maker, OF the Brightwood Citizens AS
sociation, its secretary, John G. Keeue,

writing be furnished as to needed pub
lie improvements in that section.
Some replies have already been re-
ceived, urging the Importance OF rhe

trio light in the roadways of Rock Greek
Park and its continued development hy
new roads and bride paths and that
provision be made for picnic grounds
and g. museum in the Joshua Pierce resi-
dence, while special Importance is at
tached to the actual necessity for ade-
quate sewerage facilities and extension
OF water mains, so that the large oopu-
lation now found in that desirable Sec
ton OF the District can observe 20 a
greater extent sanitary laws and regu-
lations.
These recommendations will be en-
bodied in report OF the executive COM
mittee Of the association to the Com
missioners before their estimates are
sent to Congress
AS a result OF the suggestion that a
museum be established in the park

hibited and preserved, a letter has been
received from Mrs. Margaret Ould Swim
dell. president OF the Empty Stockins
Club" of Baltimore, wife OF Walter B

D. N. PARRY'S HOME
ATTACKED At NIGHT
Two Men Employed by Union Shot
at Watchman.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Sept. At was
because his country home had been at
tackled by men who evidently were in
tent upon taking his life that D. NJ.
Parry, president of the National Manu-
facturers' Association and the most bit
ter enemy organized labor has known in
the last twenty years. placed an armed
guard around his residence. Mr.. Parry
re-enforced the guards last night and
threw a Gordon of men along the old
towpath of the canal that flows through
his grounds.
Watchman Frank Smith, who first re-
ported to Mr.. Parry that suspicious
characters were prowling about his
place, was attacked last night by two
men and shots followed. No one was in
jured
1t develops that Smith found the men
hidden in the underbrush along the
canal. He overheard a conversation, in
which he declared that one man said:
This job is worth $50, 900; we can't
afford TO fail at 1t. We need a boat"
Smith confronted the men, and as they
fed from the premises they opened fire.
1t is Mr.. Parry's belief that the prowl-
ers are determined to kidnap some mem
Der of his family. That they are desper-
ate men is evidenced by their willing
ness to shoot.

But Will Not Build at St.

Quartermaster General Humphrey has

will not progress sufficiently within the
next eighteen months TO make il neces-
sary for the Quartermaster's Depart
ment of the army TO abandon warehouse

This announcement was welcome to
General Humphrey, who expected 10 be
compelled TO vacate the present ware
house sooner, and had been unable to
find a suitable building to replace it.
The old Heurich brewery, on Twentieth
Street, between NJ and y Streets, was
at one time under consideration for
warehouse purposes. but the rent asked
for it is said to have been prohibitive.
II is not known where the army will
find quarters when graders make the
present warehouse untenable.

Rumors are again in circulation TO the
effect that the quartermaster' S depot at
ST Asaph, Va. is 10 be abandoned i'm
mediately. This is denied, however, by
General Humphrey. who says it is i'm
possible TO give the depot up until new
depots are completed in the West. When
the new depot at Omaha and others
which are in course of construction are
completed, use of the st. Asaph depot

has been under consideration. Several
weeks ago a report was circulated that
a new depot was to be established in
Virginia, a short distance from St.
Asaph This is denied. When the old
buildings are given up the depot will be
discontinued. but it is not likely that
this will take place in the near future.
Needs Office Buildings.
The War Department VIII probably
ask Congress for permission to rent
more offices outside the department
building TO relieve existing congestion.
General Humphrey viii take the matter
up with the Secretary Of War and Gen

According 10 law, the War Department
cannot rent offices outside the depart
ment building without express permis-
sicn OF Congress. There are number
OF outside offices now rented by the
War Department and it is reasonable to
suppose that the oveTcrOwded condition
