General Mf1es's disclosures. of what he saw in the Philippines does not bring any too. much credit on the methods used by American soldiers, at all times. in our new possessions. He says that'he is merely reporting what all the army people in the Philippines knew. American officers took com- pany of Filipinos out on an expedi- ton and gave them the choice of re- vealing the whereabouts of certain in- surgents or of being killed, and when the poor creatures did not (probably because they could not make the de- sired revelations they were shot. No more hideous charge has been brought against the officers or soldiers of Rus sia in China, or of Belgium in Africa, or the Turks in Macedonia. And the worst of it is that although General Miles says everybody knows the facts in Manila the war department at Washington and the partisans in con- gress and ill the republican newspapers have been displaying a mitigated form of savagery in denouncing as calumni- ators of the army whoever ventured to say that such cruelties have been prac- ticed.'' ...

of transportation from the new fields in Texas aud California has been less of an obstacle to the installation of oil burning equipments than has been the case on the Atlantic coast, the interest is even greater and the use of oil has become far more extensive. In Call fornia oil is rapidly driving coal out or the field for power purposes, through" out the state. The same is true in Texas, and of much of the territory ly- ing in between. This general use or oil has affected not only the power ana lighting and manufacturing plants in these regions. but also the railroads, and marine transportation as well With the relative economy at present prices. between the oil and coal vary ing from one-eighth to one-halt or per hans less. according to the cost of transportation from the wells to the different points where the oil IS con- sumed, this unusual development IS not surprising and the use or hQuld fuel for power purposes is still rapidly growing. One railroad operating Ill California is now burning oil on more than 1SO of It's locomotives. Another of the great transcontinental systems is already using oil on about 800 of it's locomotives, which is 30 per cent of the total number operated by the system, and is equipping others as rapidly as possible. In addition to the use on To- comotives, it is using oil on it's steam CTS in San Francisco bay, and on its river steamers, with very good re- sults.'

A well known admiral. speaking fc

A well known admiral, speaking for publication in Golfers, says that the boiler problem is the naval question of the hour. The most important naval board now in session. in Great Britain is the boiler commission, and this body designs of marine steam generators, only four possess sufficient merit to warrant their installation in the war vessels of his majesty's fleet. Within the past three months events have oc- cured which have caused two of the five great naval powers to doubt the advisability of permitting any further installation of boilers of one these four types. It is highly probable that the sea power of the future may possibly be won by that nation which will tri- umph in the battle of the boilers that is now being waged. Lord Goschen, who was for many years first lord of the British admiralty, has described a modern warship as "a fiendish compli- cation of machinery" This complied ton of machinery is beneath the pro- tective deck. Another authority has said of the battleship that ''it is per- haps the most awe-inspiring aggrega- ton of power in one unit yet devised by man." When one enters the engine rooms and stokeholes and notices the labyrinth of piping, and the crowding of appliances upon each other, he ap- preciates the weak link in this awe-in- spring chain of mechanism. The sev- eral nations are loading the ships down with armor. The point has now been reached in battleships when twice as much weight is given to armor as is allowed to engines, boilers and me- chanical auxiliaries. Great Britain is the one naval power which is resisting this tendency of making, hull protection a primary feature.

Strong Force of Military Necessary
 to Subdue Peasantry. %
 PARIS, April 2S--The disturbance at Marseilles around the Capucin convent has broken out again, with much vio- lence, owing to the attempt of party of Oblate fathers to visit the barricad- ed convent. The sight of the visitors aroused the anger of the enemies of the congregations, and an attack was ance of the fathers, and a pitched bat tie between the two parties followed. The police finally rescued the Oblate fathers, and the fighting ceased. A crowd of 5000 persons, however, re- mained in the neighborhood of the con- vent, expressing itself for and against the monks until dark, when the police at last succeeded in dispersing it.
 The monks at La Roche-sur- -Foron were arrested, and a strong force of in- fantry and cavalry surrounded the monastery and held the crowd of an- gry peasants in check while the door of the building was battered in. The monks offered no further resistance and were placed in prison at Bonne- vile.

"The recent discovery of new oil fields so extensive that there is good reason to believe that the oil wells will not soon be exhausted, and that there is an assured supply to meet the de- mands of the future; the construction of pipe lines which very materially re- duce the cost of transportation, and the high price of coal which has prevailed in many manufacturing districts, have combined to give new argument for the burning of crude oil for power pur- poses" says a writer in the Engineer ing Magazine.

Unless there be some great military necessity-and I know of none-this work should not be per formed by troops. was informed that the Moros had made propositions to furnish the necessary men. There ap- peared to be very great dissatisfaction and just ground for complaint. I was informed that no men can be re-enlist- ed at this point The performance of such labor by troops unless absolute military necessity exists for it is wrong and contrary to law"
 The more. important observations and recommendations of General Miles are as follows: ''The general condition of the troops in the archipelago was creditable to themselves and to the country. The officers and soldiers made a good ap- pearance. s.s-..A...
 "The effect of the climate is most serious detriment to the service. The men go there in perfect health and in fho rarsiY1a oF h11% are seriously affected in the course of two or three years service Very few escape. The majority are debilitated.

 "The number of troops that will be required to occupy the Philippine Is- lands is still problematical While it is claimed that the people are pacified. evidences of hostility toward Ameri- can sovereignty are apparent The newspapers published in both Spanish and English contain almost daily ac- counts of hostilities, depredations or disturbances of the peace. Against these armed bands the civil govern ment is employing the constabulary, force of about 5000 men. ..a
 t'In my judgment the heavy artillery troops now in the Philippine Islands should be withdrawn without delay, as there is not legitimate use for them in the archipelago.
 "There is quite as much, if not more, need for cavalry in the Philippine Is- lands than in the United States, and as some of the cavalry regiments ,nev- CT have served in the Philippines I think it advisable that they should share their proportion of the duties in that country.
 'I found a large proportion of the troops occupying church property, monasteries, colleges and convents. This I believe to be entirely wrong, and it should be discontinued without delay. It is serious detriment to prosperity, and while it may prevent destruction by fire to some extent, yet the damage done to the buildings will be extensive, and it will simply result in claims for some millions of dollars being brought against the United States, which undoubtedly will have f0 he maid ''

 The British monarch had 8 great re- ception from the populace. From the station to the Quirinal the streets. which were lined with troops, were densely crowded, and the windows, balconies and housetops were filled with people. When the procession ar rived at the Piazza Termini, it was met by the mayor, Prince Colonna, and the city fathers, who brought the greetings of Rome.
 The feature of the decorations was twenty magnificent monumental vases arranged in a tsemicircIe near the "Ex- edra" palace, each six feet high, in the style of the celebrated Della Robbia terra cotta, and colored brilliantly in red, white, yellow and green. In each was a golden tree sixteen feet high bearing flowers and fruit, such as grapes, lemons, pears, oranges and ap- ples.
 After a short rest at the Quirinal King Edward re-entered his carriage and, escorted by the cuirassiers, visit ed the queen mother and then returned to the palace. Later he went to the British embassy, where he remained until o'clock, holding reception of the English residents of Rome. After this function he returned to the Qui- rinal and dined with the king and queen of Italy. The dinner was a pri- yate function, being described as a strictly family repast ..
