MIGHT USE PHILIPPINE SCOUTS.

Washington, D. c., March 6.-The
War department has under considera-
tion suggestion to employ the Philip
pine scouts should there be any occa-
sion to use troops in China There are
now about 5000 of these scouts dis
tributed through the archipelago, and
some of the army officers here who
have commanded them in the Philip
pines are strongly of the opinion that,
properly officered by Americans, these
Philippine scouts would be admirably
suited for Chinese service If any
United States forces were ever needed
there. 1t is recalled that the Spaniards
employed Philippine scouts with great
success in the combined operations in
Cochin China, which resulted in the
French acquisition of Tonquin. Points
urged in favor of that scheme ara:
First, economy; for the scouts are
much cheaper to maintain in the serv-
ice than American troops. drawing less
pay and subsisting on a much less ex-
pensive ration; and, secondly, they are
really of little use at present and
might not be depended upon to fire
upon their own people in case Of in
surrection; hence they may be re-
placed by white troops.

STILL A DEADLOCK.
Franco. German Affairs in Morocco
Far From Settled.

Algeciras, March 6-The positions
as defined before the conference show
that the Franco-German deadlock is
practically the same in the open con-
ference as 1t was during the private
exchange of views. The text of the
speech of Herr Won Radowitz, head If
the German delegation at yesterdays
session of the conference, as given out,
concludes as follows: "The powers
being equally interested in the police
organization should equally partici-
pate in it." France specifically de-
fined equality in the organization of
the police, claiming that it is a mere
ruse to undermine Frances legiti-
mate special position in Morocco. The
text of the speech of M. Revolt, chief
of the French mission, reads: "The
decentralization of the police
would give no guarantee of order and
present grave difficulties. We ask for
the Reorganization of the legitimate in
terests of France as Musselman power
in North Africa and our special inter-
ests in the maintenance of order in
Morocco"

MAY USE BIG BOATS
FOR TRANSPORTS

Washington, D. c., March 6.-should
:sffairs in China reach crisis 1t is
regarded as likely that the govern
ment will charter a number of the big
vessels now engaged In the Pacific
trade. The mammoth steamships Da-
kota and Minnesota would probably
be the first boats to be taken over by
the government. There is no secret
that the War department is making
preparations for transport and other
service in the event of trouble in
China and should there be an out
break ther is no doubt that a large
number of vessels, including some Of
the largest craft on the Pacific, would
be chartered for the transport of
troops and supplies in the same man
ner that Atlantic liners were brought
into service in the spanish-American
conflict.
