JAPANESE "PL0Ts" A MYTH
War Department Derides Ru-

Washington, Dec. 29.-Repeated publca-

in the Philippines have given rise to the
belief that plots are being laid against
Americans to-day called forth from the
War Department the assertion that no IN
formation had been received there to JUS
tify such statements. The officials insist
that it would have been the duty OF 'he
Governor General or of Major General
DuvaiI commander of the Philippine d.
vision promptly to Inform the department
of the discovery of spies or of any facts
that threatened American sovereignty In
the Philippines. AS no such reports nave
been received in Washington it is assumed

GRANTS RECORD STANDS
Bill to Amend Is Held Up IN
Senate Committee.
TFrcm The Tribune bureau.

Washington, Dec. 2a.-The efforts OF
Major General Frederick d. Grant, COM
manding the Department of the East. 10
have his official war record amended by
act of Congress have been set at naugnt
effectively, if not permanently, By the fall
ure Of the Senate Committee ora Military
Affairs to report for consideration the bin
passed by the House last session AL
though the bill is still before the committee
it will probably remain there unless II
is taken up by the Senate in modified
form 10 eliminate the objections of the
War Department to any change in official
records.
General Grant seeks membership in the
Grand Army of the Republic and the Loyal
Legion. but is ineligible because his record
does not show that he saw any service III
the Civil War. 1t is a matter of history
that he took part in the Nicksburg cam
paign as a boy of thirteen. His father,
General L. 5. Grant, says in his Memoirs
that he had hoped to get away without
him. but the boy was too vigilant. In thls
campaign Richard Yates. the War cover
nor of Illinois, promised young Grant a
commission as captain This promise was
not kept, and his father thereupon wrote
a short note appointing him volunteer
aid with the rank Of captain.
These incidents do not appear in General
Grants records, as he was never entered
on the muster rolls. In order that he might
qualify officially as a Civil War veteran
and have his name on the memorial in the
Vicksburg national military park, he asked
Congress to modify his record to show that
he had been mustered into service as a
captain of volunteers on the staff CT Cen
eral L. s. Grant and to authorize the sec
retary of War to issue an honorable dis
charge TO him.
The bill passed the House containing the
provfso that no pay or emoluments shoulu
become due by virtue OF such ACTON.
The bill was sent TO the Senate and re-
ferred TO the Committee on Military Al
fairs. The committee promptly referred
il 10 the War Department, which returned
it as promptly with the suggestion that
records were records and could not pe
changed and the intimation that history
could not be amended. The department dlu
not object to the purpose of the bill, but
disapproved the form of it on princlpie-
No further action has been taken by the
Senate Committee. and the bill remains
where 1t was although it was passed pS
the House last April. If the action desired
l,v General Grant is taken it will probably
he in the form of measure modihed 10
