MoRos AT PEACE.
Slave Trade In Philippines Put Down
by General Wood.

Washington, Dec. %, - General
Wood, commanding the department Of
Mindanao, Philippine division, in his
annual report to the War department,
said that the troops Of the department
have been in the field greater portion
of the year, quelling armed uprisings
and preventing slave trade and kindred
abuses, He says that in almost every
instance actual fighting was initiated
by the Moros.
Conditions among the Moros
throughout the department are gcner-
ally PEACEFUL" says Genreal Wood,
who adds:
''The establishment Of civil govern.
ment and the extension over them Of
certain laws and regulations has caused
some excitement and at times serious
resistance, especially the law prohibit
ing slavery. In some sections active
hostility has been engendered by our
presence, especially In the Lake I.anao
region, where almost constant murder.
ous attacks on workingmen and soldiers
were the rule until the effects OF the
recent expeditions to the Tarca side Of
the lake, combined with expeditions TO
other sections Of the Lanao, were felt
by the Moros,"
The power OF the Moros of that see
tion, he says, has been completely
broken. Continuing, the report says.
''ln Jolo affairs are quiet, The
prompt crushing OF the Hassans upris.
ing has made deep impression on the
people, and the abrogation of the Bates
agreement has done much TO bring to
an end the unfortunate conditions
which existed under it,"
pato Ais party, the report adds, is
the only band Of Moros now openly
hostile, and it il small and is being
followed by troops and scouts. General
Wood says it is believed there will not
be any very serious resistance OF au.
thority by the Moros in the future,
but there will be constant police work.

Examination of the Nigretta.

Toxic, Dec. 24.-The examination OF
the cargo, passengers and crew of the
British steamer Nigretta, which was
seized by the japanese cruiser Tsu-
shima is progressing at Sasebo. Seem
ingly it is undetermined whether pa
role-breaking Russian officers, are on
board the Nigretta. The japanese are
investigating this feature of the case
because Of the question of the ability
of the Chinese officials properly to con-
duct the internment of Russians who
seek refuge at ports in China. 1t is
considered vitality important.

BRITISH DOCKING CHEAPER.
Attention Of President Called to Con-
ditions at Bremerton.

Washington, Dec. "a. - President
Roosevelt's attention was invited today
by Representative Humphrey, of
Washington, to a telegram received
by Mr.. Humphrey from some of his
constituents, protesting against what
is declared to be exorbitant tonnage
rates charged at theBremerton naval
station for the docking and repair Of
vessels. The telegram calls attention
to charge of 10 cents a ton for the
docking Of the steamer Shawmut, the
owners declaring that they could have
the work done at the British dock at
Esquimalt for 8 cents at ton. The
charges at the American station result,
Mr.. Humphrey says, in large amount
of such work going to the British sta
tion, to the detriment of the Ameri-
cans. This matter will be considered
by the officials Of the Navy depart
ment.

BLUFF is CALLED.
England Can Have War Quickly. Says
Kaiser Wilhelm,

Berlin, Dec, 24.-Sensationa CORE.
spondence has passed between the Ger
man and British governments during
the last four weeks with reference to
the warlike and provocative attitude
adopted toward Germany by the semi
official British press, especially the
Army and Navy Gazette. The kaiser
took hand in the negotiations and
made his vigorous personality felt in u
positive way, He instructed that the
British cabinet should be informed in
effect that ii England wanted war it
could have it Immediately, if it was
not desirous of such an event the talk
which Germany considered an affront
must stop,
Both Count Wolff -Metternich, Ger
man ambassador in London, and Sir F.
c. Lascelles, British ambassador at
Berlin, were called home by their re-
spective governments to discuss the
situation,
The publications which induced the
German government to assume its
strong attitude were series Of articles
in the Army and Navy Gazette, culmi-
mating in the declaration that the kais-
er's navy was so rapidly becoming u
menace to Great Britain that war
would better be declared now in order
that the German fleet might be de-
stroyed before it should become a still
greater danger.
Both Premier Balfour and Lord Ians-
downe have been told that Germany is
impatient of this distrust OF its naval
policy, which it accuses the National
Review, the Army and Navy Gazette
and other papers OF generating among
the British people. The Fatherland
wishes Britain to understand once for
all that it has not the slightest inten-
tion of abandoning the development of
its navy and its merchant marine at
British behest, no matter how mucq
of bOgey they constitute.

CHINESE ARE IMPLICATED.
Japanese Accuse Enemy of EnIisting
Coolies in War.

General Oku's Headquarters, Dec.
%, via Fusan 1t il believed by the
Japanese that the Russians are en-
ploying Chinese to damage the Japan
cse lines of communication and they
have no doubt that Chinese were ems
ploycd by the Russians to burn the
magazines at Lao Yang The Japan
csc say that ii they arrest any Chinese
engaged in so fulfilling their obliga-
tions to their employers they will exc
cute them, AZ warming to other Chi
nese against a repetition Of the offense.
The japanese believe that these
measures are required to wipe out the
Russian system OF employing Chinese
for such work. They say they know
that the Russians are spending enor-
nous sums for this purpose.

President Hays Has Cold Water for
Rush to Port Simpson.

Vancouver, B. c., Dec. %. - With
the idea OF preventing any rush to
Port Simpson or Kaien island, G. NJ.
Hays, president of the Grand Trunk
Pacific railway, has publicly announced
that the mere filing Of plans with the
railway department ut Ottawa does not
signify that either OF those places will
be selected as the terminus of the line.
Said he: at simply supplies the gov
ernment with information regarding
what the company may ultimately re-
quire." Mr.. Hays has again declared
that it may be some time before def
mite announcement can be made as to
where the British Columbia end of the
new transcontinental line will be situ-
ated. He said in an interview:
"We have not definitely determined
the Western terminus. We always say
Port Simpson, but when we make use
of that expression we mean any point
within so miles of the place. There
are three or four inlets, all of about
equal merit, that we might use, but
before we reach decision quite a num-
Der of photographic surveys must first
be made. Nothing has been done along
that line on the Pacific coast for a
number of years"
As for the prairie section Of the line,
preparations are well under way for
commencing construction at Winnipeg,
both east and west, as soon as the
snow goes in the spring. sMr. Hays
has stated that the financial arrange
ments necessary to the successful fota-
tion of the scheme have all been made,
and the outlook for the satisfactory in
auguratiOn of the big work is very
bright.

Plans of His Committee.

Mr. Hege was not prepared, however, 70
make any positive statement concerning
the plans of his committee, for the very
good reason that it has not been organized.
1t will include the representatives and gen.

transportation company having terminal
offices in Washington, and these gentlemen
later will take up the matter of reduced
rates. Mr.. Hege is in favor of extending
the time for stop-over on the excursion
tickets which will be sold for the inaugural
Heretofore the tickets have been sold two
or three days in advance Of March 4, good
only for three or four days after the cere-
monies. His scheme is to extend this time
at least ten days, giving excursionists
from two to three weeks to lfnger at the
national capital, should they care to.

Use Of Pension Building Among Things
Provided For-Chairman Hege
Predicts Large Crowd.

More than $4,000 has been subscribed
to the inaugural fund. and Treasurer
Allies today gave out detailed list of the
amounts. Senator Gallinger and Repre-
sentative Babcock introduced a Joint
resolution providing for the use of the
pension Office building for the inaugural
ball; for an extensive illumination of the
city at that time: appropriating $4,000
for maintaining public order and 81 900
for public comfort; and for the loan of
flags and other decorative paraphernalia
from the federal government. Another
resolution was introduced providing for
the appointment of a committee of sena-
tors and representatives to take charge
of the inaugural proper Chairman Hege
of the committee on transportation de-
clared the railroads would have ample
facilities for handling the crowds and
predicted an attendance of over 200 900.
Several minor committee appointments
were announced.
Developments relative to the inaugural
plans came so thick and fast today that it
was difficult to record everything. The
ACTIVITY winch mas characterized the pre-
liminary work of the inaugural committee
was made manifest again today when the
committee on legislation, under Chairman
Adds B. Browne, succeeded in having in
troduced in both the House and Senate
joint resolution providing for all the priv
eleges and Professions that the inaugural
committee desires of Congress. There seems
to be no doubt about the fate of the reso-
luton, and its passage is conceded. This
removes the second great problem which
confronted General Wilson and his associ-
ateS.
With the ball scheduled for March and
the pension Office assured as the place for
the ball, all subscribers to the guarantee
fund practically are assured of getting their
money back.
Mr. S. B. Hege, chairman of the commit
tee on transportation, said today that not
withstanding the fact that the new union
station would be far from completed at the
time of the Inauguration, the railroads
would run sidings on every available piece
of vacant ground, and that the travellers
would receive every bit as good, if not bet
ter treatment than they did four years ago.
He expects the largest crowddn the history
of naugurations, and places the figure ap-
proXimately at 100000.

CARTBAGINTAy EXPLORATION.

Not for a long time has there been an an
nouncement better calculated TO pique curiosity
and TO stimulate expectation than that concern
ing the probable excavation of the site of an
cient Carthage We have had interesting ex-
cavations elsewhere-at Pompeii, at Troy, at
Babylon and other places. But Carthage was
city that rivalled almost any of these in inter
est, and as yet we have had scarcely any at
tempt to unearth her ruins and to discover
what traces of her greatness and what relics
of her art and life the desert sands conceal
We must remember that Carthage antedated
Rome and at the beginning OF the Punic wars
incomparably surpassed Rome in civilization
and in greatness But Catos grim counsel
was remorselessly followed. Carthage was de-
stroyed. Not only its towers and palaces and
temples and fleets, but its art, its literature. its
religion its whole life, were obliterated from
the earth. Never was a place of comparable
Importance more utterly destroyed. 1t is an
impressive fact that practically all we now
know of it we have learned from its destroyers
Yet such was its greatness that even they, in
the full flush of their impacable hatred and
vengeance, could not conceal it. They were
constrained to record that it was a splendid
city, and they gave an account OF It's
chief man which makes us regard him as per-
haps the greatest military genius the whole
world has ever known.
1t is time that the ruins, thrice ruined, should
be unearthed and such treasures as they may
contain should be revealed. We may not hope
to find library from which to reconstitute
Carthaginan literature. Mayo may continue 10
stand alone as the sole survivor Of Carthaginian
thought and science But it seems incredible
that there should not be some monuments, some
relics, some inscriptions some remains OF the
greatest commercial city of the ancient world,
that would repay the labor of resurrecting them
from beneath the Libyan sands. 1t is a fas-
cinating enterprise in which all possible sue
cess is earnestly TO be desired.
