CURE SHORE LEAVE
Secretary of War, on Request, Re.
ceives Report from Commissioner
Worcester That Epidemic
Is Over
tBy Associated Press. ]

MANILA, Nov. 22.-The question of
allowing the men from the Atlantic
battleship fleet to come ashore on ac-
Manila is still discussed.
There has been an exchange of ca
Diagrams between Governor General
Smith and Secretary of War Wright
on the subject, but no orders yet have
Eeen received from Washington.
The decision of the Washington au-
thorities, it is believed, largely depends
on the special report made to the Sec
rotary of war by Commissioner Dean
C. Worcester giving a history of the
cholera in the Philippines, discussing
and criticising the methods of fighting
the plague and which is said to in
clude strong criticisms of the munich
pal officials of Manila for failing to
clean up and drain certain portions OF
the city and outlaying districts.
In response to the request of the
secretary of war for a report upon the
present conditions in Manila, Commits
sioner worcester declared that the cpl
demic was over more than three weeks
ago, and that there is no danger what
ever now in permitting the men OF
the feet to land.
Governor General Smith has written
to Rear Admiral Sperry proposing that
part of the program originally
planned by the city for the entertain-
ing of the fleet be now carried out.
There have been but one case OF
cholera and two suspects in Manila
during the past four days.

URGES DONATION TO
AID NAVY STATIONS
ADMIRAL HOLIDAY MAKES
STRONG APPEAL
Chief of Bureau of Yards and Docks
Asks for s11,341, 73o to Improve
American Naval
Wharfage

WASHINGTON, Nov 22.-Rear Ad-
miral r. c. Hollyday, chief of the
bureau of yards and docks of the
United States navy, makes a strong
plea for more extensive improvements
at insular stations and for a higher
standard in the maintenance of home
navy yards in his annual report to the
secretary of the navy.
The estimates for the navy yards
and stations recommended to be sub
mitted to congress at the coming scs-
sion are as follows:
Public works, including repairs and
presentations, $9811,730; maintenance
of yards and docks, $150O, 00e, con-
tingent yards and docks, $4,000; total,
S11. 341, 730.
The need for additional drydocks is
urged. All of the principal yards, Adj
miral HOllyday states, should have
structures of sufficient capacity to dock
the largest vessels likely to be built
within the near future.
Estimates Recommended
The estimates recommended for the
various navy yards and stations in
clude:
Naval station, Cavite, p. l., s15, 800;
naval station, Island of Guam, $44, 900;
navy yard Mare Island, Cal, Sits
SEQ; naval station, Olongapo, P. l.,
500, 900: naval station, Pear Harbor.
including an estimate of 100000
toward the construction of a drydock
to $2000,00O, S1,300,000; navy yard
Puget Sound, 1,391,000; naval station
Tutuila, Samoa, $500.
The need for more civil engineers
and high-class technical assistants is
emphasized and the wisdom of having
the government purchase dredging
plants, instead of dredging by contract
Increases of pay and rank for officers
and employees are asked for.

exists the small manufacturer of some
speciality in steel who still needs d
measure of protection. The writer
hopes, if such there be, the committee
will give patient attention to such
cases.
Better to Err Giving
1T is better to err on the side of Civ
ing these too much, rather than too
little support.
Every enterprise of this kind should
be fostered The writer speaks only
of the ordinary articles and forms of
steel as being able to stand without
protection.
He hopes there are today pioneers
in several new lines requiring protec-
temporarily. The people should well
come such special cases.
Mr.. Carnegie says that several other
features of the tariff should be care
fully looked into, particularly illumin-
ating oils, thread and cutlery.
Further on Mr.. Carnegie says:
THE infant we have nursed APP
proaches the day when he should be
weaned from tariff milk and fed upon
the stronger food of free competition.
1t needs little, If any more, nursing
but the change should not be made
abruptly.

The Best Protectionist
But he is the best of protectionists
who corrects all faults as they are
revealed and positively declines to
subject the nation to protection in any
branch where it is not clearly needed,
affording protection always with the
resolve that it shall be temporary.
There is no occasion for haste or
for any revolutionary step in coming
tariff legislation. 1t is better to go a
little too slow than little too fast"
I'm the writer's opinion the revision
of the tariff could today safely and
advantage ously be made a radical one
upon the lines suggested; but If con-
gress in Difference to the timid manu-
facturer whom we have always with
us thinks it prudent not to disturb
his dreams unduly, and only halves
present duties on some articles and
abolishes them entirely upon others,
always provided it guards zealously
the present duties upon the luxuries of
the rich for revenue-the writer will
be thankful and philosophic as usual,
because one step in the right direction
will have been taken and he knows the
final step must come before long, the
sooner the better"

tour of Europe to look into the finan-

There was widespread disappoint-
ment because Of the necessity for OBJ
servance of the mourning edict dur
ing the embassy's stay. Preparations
had been made for two splendid BAN
Duets and a score of receptions, but
beyond the informal welcome given
the party today there will be no Of
fetal recognition of their presence.
Reception Committee
The ambassador was received by an
imposing delegation. Gen. Frederick
A. Smith, commanding the department
of California: Colonel Bellinger, head
of the transport service; COmmandant
z. Y. Eberle of the naval station, and
Capt. E. T. sDonnelly, designated to
escort the embassy to Washington,
represented the army and navy. Of
ficials of the collectors of the part,
Warren Porter of California, members
of the chamber of commerce of the
San Francisco Merchants association,
Chinese journalists from all parts of
the country and local business men
representing several civic associations
were among those on the government
tug, which met the Mongolia in the
bay
On the dock were two troops of cav
airy, a squadron of mounted police
and sixty carriages provided for the
visitors and their escort.
During the embassy's stay in this
city majority of the visitors will be
received by Yung Kwaf, secretary of
the legation at Washington. In the
course of his informal remarks today
and as spokesman for the party, he
said:
Stunned and Saddened
I'VE are stunned and saddened by
the removal of the emperor and the
dowager, but we are altogether ignor-
ant of any developments that may en-
sue.
I'VE look for a continuation of the
policy that has prevailed in China dur
ing the past few years. Prince Chun,
the late emperors brother who is now
regent, has been, as a member of the
privy council, practically at the head
of affairs in the empire for a year
past, and we look for no important
changes that will affect Chinas rela
tions with other countries.

Il might add that Chung Nun Yew

to come will not be in position TO even
consider such an appointment"

Washington Artist Gains
Distinction With Study
of Gree.

Since she sailed from America, under
rather romantic circumstances, Mrs.
Albert Clifford Barney has been serious
ly deyotiug her time 10 the study Of
art, and has the distinction OF being
numbered among the exhibitors ar the
spring salon in Paris.
Mrs. Barney has completed a remark
able picture representing Circe. which
is attracting wide attention in the
French capital! The canvas IS one Of
unusual beauty, and demonstrates both
the individuality and picturesqueness Of
Mrs. Earneys brush.
Mrs. Barney went abroad more than
a year ago leasing her handsome home
on Sheridan circle Tor several years.
This residence. which its owner and de-
signer named Studio House is one OF
the most picturesque and unusual homes
in Washington. 1t was a. the novel
little studio that Mrs. Barney enter
tanned, and the fact that the plans Of
the house called for an unusually sinai.
uiniug-rOO n almost too diminutiye FOR
a small family, proved that the studio
was originally intenCed as much for an
entertainment haL as "a workshop for
its mistress.
Shortly after Mrs. Barney sailed it
became known that prominent and
wealthy New York man had made af-
ndavit before a notary public OF his ad-
mlratiOn and esteem for Mrs Barney.
and it was Immediately surmised that
instead Of going abroad TO study art as
Mrs. Barney had smiliugly told her
friends her main purpose was 10 20 10
