GIVE UP THE PHILIPPINES?
Taft Says He Did Not Even Intimate

Worlds Fair Grounds, st. Louis.
Aug. 13.-The anniversary of Manila's
fall was observed at the exposition to-
day this being designated as Philip
pine Day." when for the first time,
American generals and veterans of the
Philippine war met and mingled with
their former enemies, the savage Mo-
ros and Igorrotes. Among the dis
tinguished guests participating in the
exercises of the day were Secretary of
War Taft, who made an address in
which he said: 1--WE need the active as
sstance of the Philippine government
in the islands to secure the construc-
tion of the railroads that are absolute
ly necessary to the development Of
those islands,"
Referring to the proposed govern
ment guarantee of income on railway
investments, Secretary Taft said:
Should the Philippine Islands be
transferred to another government the
obligation would, of course, by the
terms of the charter be imposed on the
new government and does not impli-
cate or bind the United States in any
way beyond the time when its relation
to the Philippine government shall
cease. Secondly the Philippines need,
tion which shall bring the Philippine
market within the tariff wall and en-
able the Philippine farmers to sell in
the rich market of the United States
the products of their far distant is
lands. Third. we need the authority
to amend the tariff laws now in force
in the Philippine Islands so that the
lessons of experience in the actual OPP
GRAFTON of the tariff may be taken ad-
vantage of and the changes made
therein which shall admit to the is
lands without the burden of tariff
those particular articles needed espe-
cially in building up the country"
Secretary Taft tonight made the
statement TO the Associated Press
that he did not intimate or intend to
intimate in his speech at the exposi-
tion grounds to-day that the United
States government might. in the fu-
ture. transfer the Philippine Islands to
another power.

Washington, Aug. 13.-There was
some expectation that the State De-
partment would be able to-day to
announce the successful conclusion Of
the negotiations with Turkey looking
TO the prevention of discrimination
against American citizens there. An
answer has been received from the
Turkish government which is regard
ed as satisfactory, and to make sure
that there will be no misunderstand-
ing as TO the agreement, the State
Department embodies its own con-
struction Of that agreement in the
last chapters Of the correspondence.
But there has been some delay in
the exchange Of cable messages. so
that it is not expected now that the
last word will be said until Monday.
Meanwhile Admiral JEWELS feet will
remain at Smyrna, awaiting notice
from Minister Leishman. II may be
said, however, that the incident is
practically closed, with a victory for
the State Department on all points.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Ten persons
were drowned as the result of the cap

The accident was the worst in the
history of the Potomac river racing.
The capsized launch was the Recrea-
tion, owned by Drs. Stewart and Wag-
ner, and carried the fourteen people
mentioned.
During the first race the launch got
in the way of the eight-oared shells,
and its wash was such that the Off
cials reprimanded its crew and ordered
them out Of the way There was some
show of resentment at this order, and
the launch headed for the shore, but
mscalculated it's course and striking
the strong undertow, caused by a mill
race, rocked for a moment, and as the
passengers rushed to one side, turned
turtle.
Only a few of the thousands of peo-
pie that lined the shore witnessed the
accident. but the police Immediately set
to work to recover the bodies.
Was Thought HeartIess.
Many Of the spectators, including Of
ficials Of the district government,
protested against the continuance of
the racing in view of the tragedy, but
the officials in charge declined to stop
the sport, saying It was inexpedient
because people had come on from
numerous other cities TO take part and
that the regatta was the result Of
long laid plans in which many outside
interests were concerned There was
a great deal of criticism of this de-
cislon.
The cheering for the competing
crews as they passed the scene of
the tragedy and the shrill and deaf
ening whistles of the pleasure craft
continued while the bodies of the un-
fortunate victims we're being grappled
for dragged into view and sent to the
police station.
Maj. Sylvester. the superintendent of
police, and Coroner Glazebrook were
at the scene, and directed the work
