It is estimated that tho total cost of maintaining the American army in the Philippines can be reduced by 00 per cent, in the course of one year.

The troops will be concentrated at three points se lected, abandoning all minor posts. These changes will result in nn enor mous saving in tho transportation of supplies and the paying of rental for barracks for the soldiers. At present in most towns the troops are quar tered in churches, convents and pub lic and private buildings, for t3ie use of which considerable rcntnls are paid. SUN'S-RAYS FATAL.
