STATUE OF FREDERICK.
Emperor William Postpones Its Ship
ment Until Next Year.

BERLIN, February 2s.-Emperor William
has instructed Minister Won Sternburg to
inform President Roosevelt that the statue
Of Frederick the Great win not be sent to
the United States until the spring of 1904.
The emperor's reasons, as communicated
by the foreign office to Ambassador Tower,
are that in view of the unfinished condi-
ton Of the War College at Washington and
the consequent difficulty in carrying out
properly the ceremonies Of unveiling the
statue under the present circumstances.
and as the emperor wishes to avoid an in
terval between the arrival Of the statue in
America and the public dedication his maj
esty has decided not to send 1t to Washing
ton until the spring Of 1904"
1t appears that Minister Won Sternburg
had q conversation with President Roose-
welt some days ago, in which the President
suggested that 1t might be as well on ac-
count of the disorder of the grounds and
the obstruction of building material. to ar
range some later date for the unveilinG
than June as previously determined upon.
The President has been unofficially ad-
vised that the statue of Frederick the
Great to be presented to the United States
by Emperor William. will not be shipped to
this city until the spring OF 1904. Tho
statue is practically completed and could
be forwarded at once IL necessary. Owing
to the fact, however, that the site at Wash
ington barracks, selected for the statue BY
President Roosevelt, will not be ready to
receive 1t for several months to come, II has
been deemed advisable to delay the ship
ment Of the statue until next year.

700 enlisted men in the Philippines having
more than one year to serve In other than
first enlistment, and attached to regiments
under orders to return to the United States
have expressed a desire to be transferred
to regiments remeaining In the Philippines
or else to regiments expected to arrive there
shortly from the United States. General
Davis adds that all the organizations re-
naming in the islands already have more
than per cent over their authorized
strength Consequently the men who do
not desire to return home with their regi-
ments cannot be transferred to the regi-
ments to remain behind for the reason that
the latter are already above their quota.
General Corbin and the other officials in
the War. Department are very much grati-
fed at the nature of the intelligence i'm
parted by General Davis, which they regard
as highly Significant. in order to comply
with the request of the experienced soldiers
who desire to remain in the Philippines In
preference to a tour of duty in the United
States, 1t has been decided to have each
of the seven regiments under orders to the
Philippines go out short 100 men to each
organization so as to equally distribute
the 700 men for whom it Is desired to make
provision.
