manding a troop of Macahchc scouts,

for many months. Ferguson, one of

Do Offlrors Fear Trouble?
Manila, Aug. 27. In tho city of Ma
nila there are now less than 1,000 ef
fective soldiers nnd it hns been decided
to increase tills number by four com
panies of infantry. There is a feeling
that, although there is no apparent
prospect of trouble, nevertheless In
the event of an uprising In tho fu
ture such as is always possible among
the Malays, It would bo better to have
a sufficient body of troops available.
Many army olliccrs say thoy are grat
illed at the increase in the military
force. They think that, with the mili
tary guard withdrawn from the pris
on, another uprising there might re
sult in the release of about 1,800 pris
oners. This possibility is regarded
as a menace to the city by those who
take that view of the case, as they
regard the white guard as insullieicnt.
MacArthur l'ralscs Native.
Chicago, Aug. 2!". (Jen. Arthur Mac
Avthur, late commander in the Philip
pines, returns homo strong in his faith
in tho power of American institutions
to solve every problem in the islands.
He is optimistic also concerning tho
native gifts of the Filipinos, and their
possibilities of development. He be
lieves, moreover, that there is no army
like the army of the United States,
volunteers and regulars combined. Of
that delicate problem, the church
question, the mntter of the friars, ho
said this: "I am persuaded that, tho
application of American institutions,
the spirit of the constitution and the
fundamental law of the separation of
church and state, will solve every
problem growing out of the ecclesias
tical situation, and I hope that appli
cation will be no whit abated."
Asked if the Philippines would af
ford a theater for American expan
sion, he said: "No white man can do
physical labor in the, Philippines. Nor
will the Filipinos come to tho United
States. They aro used to a cllmato
with a variation of only four or fo
degrees how would they get along in
ono with a variation of 100? Tho is
lands aro marvelously rich, and when
developed will demand a population
much greater than they now have.
White leadership and capital will bo a
blessing to the natives who in tho
midst of great resources are underfed
and undcrsupplled."

Lack of Teacher.
Wnshington, Aug. 20. The division
of insular nlTalrs, war department,
lias received a copy of the nnnual re
port of Prof. Atkinson, the general
superintendent of public instruction
for tho Philippines, which covers the
tlino from the enactment of the Phil
ippine school law to the close of the
last fiscal year, June 30, 1001. Tho
school law mentioned authorized the
appointment from the United States
of 1,000 school-teachers, of whom
Prof. Atkinson says 7S1 had been ap
pointed, either absolutely or pro
visionally. That thre was no scar
city of material from which to make
the selection of those appointed di
rect from Manila is shown by his tes
timonials appended, showing thnt
more than 8,000 personal written ap
plications had been filed. Four hun
dred and eighty-sevon soldier appli
cants for positions ns teachers have
entered the examinations prescribed,
of which 79 passed satisfactorily and
were assigned to schools.
Prof. Atkinson says the grcnt pres
ent need is thnt of adequate and suit
able school buildings. The education
of girls has not been thought ns im
portant as thnt of boys. Wherever
a school for boys is established it
will be the policy to establish ono
for girls, either in n building near tho
boj's or under the same roof as the
boys' school, but separate, with its
own entries and play-ground.

London, Aug. 20. Commenting on

Ono might as well try to hang a Vene

Great Britain would bo no party to tho

can reprisals would bo terrible. Even
now, Germany Is on tho verge of a strug
glo 'between classes, caused by tho pro
posed tariff. Under the German tariff
Austria would suffer grevlously. It is not
easy to see how countries which aro at
lssuo with themselves and cacli other,
and whoso fiscal arrangements excito
class against class, could agree on a pol
icy against a commerco competitor.
