THE PHILIPPINES
CHAFFEE AND OTHER OFFICERS
DESCRIBE WORK THERE.
THE CAMPAIGN IK SAMAR
As to the Mcros in Mindanao and
Jolo Time. Tact and Patience Will
Be Required to Completely Estab
Hsh United States Autncnty.
"WASHINGTON The annual report
of Majc General Adna R. Chaffee,
just made public, covers the campaign
cf Generl J. K. Smith, in Samar, re
fers to friction, that occurred between
the civil and military authorities re
garding Leyte and discusses the ac
tion of various officers and the "work
of the army is the suppression of re
cent insurrections.
General Chaffee warmy defends the
officers, and assumes full responsibil
ity for all that ws done under official
orders. He says the various preda
tory Filipino bands are of little mili
tary importance and can in time be
handled by the insular constabulary.
Speaking of the campaign in Samar.
he says he finds nothing in the "writ
ten instructions which was not jus
tified by the conditions there to be
overcome." The formation of concen
tration camps was necessary to sup
press the insurrection in the prov
inces of 3atangas. Laguna and Taya
bas. especially as the civil authorities
in some instances aided the insurrec
tiirsts. He requests the removal of the cen
sure passed publicly upon General Bell
regarding orders, circulars and instruc
tions which he issued while putting
down the insurrection.
An interesting portion of the report
is that relating to the Moras in Min
danao and Jolo. He says it will re
quire time, tact and patience to estab
lish United States authority, over all
the Moro settlements.
"The sooner the sultan of Jolo's ti
tle, actual or assumed, as sovereign
and as sole owner of the land in the
wolo archipelago, is quieted the bet
ter for the situation. Probablv there
is little doubt that a money consider
ation would relieve the situation, and
if this be done laws just but simple
and so plainly stated as to be under
stood by the Moro population could
generally be enforced throu-h the dat
tos upon their followers without much
trouble or frequent resort to force.
It will be impossible for many years
to ignore chiefs, dattos. and to deal
directly with the individual Moros as
is done with civilized. Christian peo
ple. It will, however, be a long step
ahead when the dattos are independ
ent of the sultan and recognize the
United States as the only sovereignty
to which allegiance is due and as the
only authority empowered to enact
laws for the government of the coun
try; that all the inhabitants are equal
before the law. that Christian peo
ple have a right to live. But to ad
vance so far will consume much time
and may result in national counict.
for the modification of present beliefs
will in seme cases require the use of
military force."
ARMY MAN FACES TROUBLE.
With Reporter He is Charged witn
Blackmailing.
NEW YORK A man giving the
name of Harry A. Williams, but who
the police declare is Henry C. Wil
son, for twenty years chief clerk and

Fix Irrigation Congress
OGDEN. "Utah Colonel Maxson,
secretary of the National Irrigation
congress, arrived here Thursday with
Fred J. JTJersal chairman of the ex
ecsxre coamittee. They fixed the

I, 9, 10 aid II of next year.
THE POSTAL SERVICt
Report of the First Assistant Post
master General.
'WASHINGTON'. The annual report
of the first assistant ncstmaster gen
eral urges that, in view of the success
of the rural free delivery establishment
and its future necessities, the recom
mendation for S12,Sa3,S00 for that pur
pose is reasonable. The amount is an
increase of a little more than 55,000,
000 over the current fiscal year.
The correct the alleged injustice of
compelling a postmaster to pay port of
his salary for clerk hire. Mr. Wynne
urges legislation authorizing the post
office to make allowances for clerk hire
at third class postofSces when it is sat
isfactorily shown that the postmaster
is unable to transact the pestoffice bus
iness. The advisability of erecting branch
posteffices in cities is endorsed as eco
nomical The establishment and ex
tension of tlje pneumatic tube service
will make it necessary to secure per
manent sites fcr stations in large cities.
An effort has been made to equalize
the salaries of clerks in first and sec
end class offices- by the promotion of
low-salaried but efficient clerks. At
the larger first class offices clerks are
net now working in excess of eight
hours a day, but it is impracticable to
give clerks in smaller offices eight
hours continuous service. An effort is
being made to reduce their hours to a
fair basis.
"A plan is proposed." the report con
tinues, "whereby in the larger cities
sub-carriers shall receive at least :',Q
a month, and in the smaller 525 a
month. Sub-carriers cannot now count
on a filed income. The rural free de
livery system has become a permanent
feature of the service and receipts have
increased and conditions improved
wherever 't has been put in operation.
No deficiency, it is saidt. will be cre
ated by this service. It will be left to
congress to say whether the establish
ment of routes already laid out shall
be hastened and the installation of
routes in course of investigation expe
dited. Additional appropriations must
be made for this purpose.
It is recommended that congress
make provision fcr a leave of absence
with full pay fcr rural carriers not to
exceed fifteen days in a year.
Extension to rural carters of power
to receive and register letters have
proved so acceptable to public bsnefit
that it is proposed to further increase
their usefulness by adding an exten
sion of the money order system to
rural routes.
HUNTER TIRES Or OFFICE.
Minister ts Guatemala Tenders His
Resignation.
WASHINGTON W. Godfrey Hunter
has tendered his resignation as Uni
ted States minister to Guatemala. The
president has accepted th-3 resignation

ent United States pension agent at
Louisville, to succeed Dr. Hunter as
minister at Guatemala City. Dr. Hun
ter also is minister to Honduras and
Mr. Combes will likewise assume that
post.
Dr. Hunter has had a stormy career
in Central America ever since he went

gle, for it has been known for some
time that he contemplated resigning.

ana tnere is reason to huyyus me.y
! may test the effecaveness or tne riatt
amendment by entering into negotia
. tiens with other countries regarding
' trade relations.
' The position which the American
l srovemment holds in Cuba and not its
relations with the leading foreign na-
tions are such that it is not believed
j other governments would care to
j make any treaty which was not sanc
j ticned by the United States. There is
even some talk that the negotiations
with Cuba might be br.iught to a satis-
factory conclusion should it appear
that the representatives of foreign gov-
' emments at Eavar-a had been in-
! structed not to enter into any negotia-
i tions until a treaty had been conclud-
ed with the United States, but it is
, scarcely expected that such
ITCTT TIC
j tions can be obtained.
It is the desire of this government to
leave the negotiations, should they
fail, in such shape that it will not ap
pear that an attempt had been made to
extort from Cuba more than the
Unired States was willing to give.
It is said that a commercial treaty
will be necessary to establish Cuba on
such a basis that it can fioat its pro-
. . -.. ...
posed loan. With all negotiations
hung up and strained relations exist-
ing between the old and new republics
it is believed that there would be dim-
culty in selling the bonds. At the same
time this government does not wish
, t? appear in the attitude of holding
a club over the Cuban government. It
is therefore probable that in case the
j negotiations fail a statement cf what
was demanded by the Unitfd States
and the reasons wh
ay tne concessions ,
1
i were asked will be made.

ANSWER OF BAER
HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO THE
COMMISSION.
SAYS DEMANDS UNREASONABLE
He Ignores Mitchell's Official Standing
and iVakes Denial that Wages Paid
Miners Are Lower Than These Paid
in Other Occupations.
"WASHINGTON, D. C The reply of
President George F. Baer of the Phil
adelphia & Reading Coal company to
the charges of President Mitchell of
United Mine "Workers, which has been
prsented to the anthracite ccal strike
j simply as an individual.
Taking up the specifications of Mr.
Mitchell's charges, seriatim, Mr. Baer
first admits that his company owns
thirty-seven colleries and that before
the strike it employed 26.5S3 people.
Following is a brief summary of the
response to Mr. Mitchell's other speci-

denounced as "arbitrary, unreasonable
and unjust." The company contends
that, after making all necessary al
lowance for different conditions, the
rate cf wages paid for the mining of
anthracite coal is as high as that paid
I
' ia the bituminous ccal fields.
, Third The company denies that the
present scale or wages is iowe- man
that paid in ctner occupations in the
came locality and controlled by like
conditions.
Fcurth and Fifth Mr. Bae- denies
th:.t the comings of the anthracite
v.'criiers are less than average earn
ings for ether occupations requiring
skill and training and also that the
earnings are insufficient because of the
dangerous character of work m the an
thracite mines.

as unjust and inequitable the demand

this connection, the following state
ment is made:
' "Because of the injury to the mines

its emnloves about the weighing of

determined by measurement and not
by weight.
Ninth Replying to the fourth
de-
mand made b
Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Baer
savs that since the advent of the
United Mine Workers' organization
into the anthracite fields, business con
ditions there have been intolerable;
that the output of the mines has de
creased, that discipline has been de
stroyed, that strikes have been of al
most daily occurrence: that men have

NO ACTION TO 3E TAKEN.
Officially, Quesada Knows Nothing of
These Cuban Children.
WASHINGTON So far as present

the refusal of the New York immigra-
ticn officials to permit the admission !

As a matter of fact, the case has
not come before Minister Quesada in
any official form whatever, but he has
interested himself in the welfare of
the children to the extent of instruct-

see that they were properly cared for
