Advices Indicate That the Presidents
Trip Has Benefited Him.

Assistant Secretary Foster who is In
charge of the White House during the alb

is not receiving many messages from the
presidential train and is carefully refrain
ing from sending any more than possible.
An occasional message has been received
directing that something be done or asking
If something heretofore ordered had been
done. What little information has reach
ed the Whit e House staff as to the
movements of the President indicates that
he is enjoying his trip, and that his stay
in the Yellowstone greatly benefited him.
The President has never before been so
thoroughly himself and so fully free from
importantly and official business since his
accession to his present position.
Assistant Secretary Foster and Chief
Clerk Warren Young find plenty to do to
keep the executive force busy owing to the
large number of communications that
reach the executive offices directed to the
President that are intended for the depart
ments. All of these communications have
to be recorded answers sent by mail and
the communications forwarded to the prop
er departments. Every letter, no matter

Mr.. William Nelson Cromwell, the Pan

secretary Hay about the present status Of

Much difficulty has been experienced in
coming to an understanding on that point,
as President Marroquin is bound. on ac-

await the most favorable moment to as

GEN. SMITH ACCUSED
CHARGED WITH ABUSING HIS
AUTHORITY IN LEYTE.
Arrested and Imprisoned Natives
Without Sufficient Evidence
Caused Much Distress.

A report has been received at the War
department from Capt. ]. H. Grant, gov
ernor OF the province of Leyte in the Phil
ippines, in regard to conditions past and
present. in that province, which is of spe-
cial interest because Of its caustic COM
ments on the conduct of Gen. Jacob Smith,
u 5. a., retired, who formerly commanded
the troops in Leyte. Governor Grant went
to the Philippines from South Carolina as
Captain of the 29th Volunteer Infantry,
and on being mustered out of the service in
the summer of 1901 was made governor of
Leyte. In forwarding his report he ac-
companied it with his resignation, to take
eHect at the expiration Of sixty days leave
of absence.
Governor Grants report shows that there
was constant friction between the military
and civil authorities during the insurrec-
uon, and that General Smith took radical
military measures without consultation
with the civil governor and even without
notice to him. 1t is stated that General
smith withdrew troops from about fifteen
towns and destroyed telegraphic and tele-
pnon1c communication, as consequence of
which action the towns were attacked by
insurgents and sacked and burned.
In his report Governor Grant saws:
The military authorities further aroused
the resentment and indignation of the peo-
pie py the arrest and sending to Samar
WitHout WARRANT OF Otner process quite a
number OF Leyte municipal officials and
other prominent persons, charged with aid
Ing and abetting the Samar insurgents
This action was preceded by wholesale ar
rests in the same manner of about $50 res
1dents of Tacloban, who were subsequently,
released on the protest of the provincial
governor. Through the action of the acting
civil governor those who were sent to
Samar were also released and returned to
Leyte.
After their return to Leyte the proyin-
c1al governor requested the military COM
mander General SMITH to furnish him
with copies of the charges and the evidence
upon which these people were arrested that
ne might have complaints filed against
them in the civil courts, but he was in
formed that the character of the evidence
was such that it was not considered suf-
hclent upon which to base prosecutions
These and other minor abuses and indis-
cretlons on the part Of the military au-
thor1ties aided largely in producing a state
of decentralization and unrest among the
people of the province which afterward ne
cessitated a large force of consta abulare to
restore peace and order. AS result of the
operations of the insurgents the people lost
confidence in the ability of the civil governs
ment to afford them protection and, be-
heving that all of the military forces to
