WASHINGTON, Oct. B, Last advices
from the Philippines Indicate that tho mili
tary authorities intend to take prompt bdiI
vigorous measures for the suppression of
tho Insurrection In tho Island of Samar, anil
that attention will be directed to the sum
mary punishment of thn treacherous natives
who took part In tho massacro of Company
C, Ninth Infantry, at Ralanglga. There Is,
therefore, uvcry prospect that tho Island of
Samar will he tho theater of active hostili
ties for sorao time to come, as It Is tho pur
pose of General Chaffco to teach tho rebel
lious Inhabitants n lesson and forco them to
respect tho power and sovereignty of tho
United States.

report has been prepared at tho War de
partment briefly describing tho Island and
Its Inhabitants, the military operations that
already h.ivo taken placo thero for tho
pacification of tho peoplo and tho establish
inont of good order and government. This
report Is of timely Interest In view of the
nggrcaslvo military policy to ho observed
towurd Biich of tho natives as are disposed
still to resist tho authority of tho United
B'.ntci.
In the last mall report of General Kobho,
department commander, ho says that on tho

In tho Island of Loyto will bo moved to

MERLIN, Oct. C. -(New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram. ) One of tho
latest luntltutlons In llerlln Is an exchange
for variety nrtutj. Some weeks ago thi
World published an account of an exchange
for lierlln musicians. Tho new exchango
for variety actors Is on n. still more ex
tensive realc. The artists meet In the
upper rooms of one of the best known of
Herlln'n coffee houses, acrobat?, Jugglers,
wlro ropo daucers, wise pig and dog men,
girls with trained pigeons, serpcutlne and
Bklrt dancers, clowns, fancy riders, funny
men, lightning nrtlsts and all the rest of
them, nbout tho motllest crowd to bo seen
In llerlln, aged and young, pretty and plain,
respectable an. I tho other sort. They sit
at tho little tables, drink coffee, beer and
absinthe and those of them who have been
abroad call for American drinks.
The managers of variety theaters coma
around about 1 or f o'clock In the after
noon and make engagements, which oro
scaled tihually with a nip of brandy or a
glass of beer.
A flourishing industry among these peoplo
Is thn salo and barter of mock Jewelry.
For $2 a variety woman can havo a set of
rubles or emeralds which a rouutcss might
nvy. They shlno with an almost unnatural
brilliancy. Tho rareful salesman throws
his uecklcss over the neck of an Intending
purchaser and It Is usually Irresistible.
There aro also subscription lists going
around for tho support of brethren and sis
ters in distress. Those who know them suy
thero aro no such soft-hearted peoplo any
where as theso half-shabby artists.
A wlro ropo dancer may bo had for a
night to fill a gap for $1.50. Tho parallol
bar man Is dearer, his turn costs 2. No
young woman with Jewelry und flno clothed
and a flock of trained pigeons will think
of doing on ordered turn for less than $5;
If sho Is pretty slio wants J10.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. (Special Telo
gram.) Fear of smallpox becoming cpl
domic on thn Indian rescrvotlons during
tho winter Is disturbing the Indlun bureau,
For a numbor of years tho Indian approprl
ntlon bill has carried an item npproprint
ing a certain sum of money for tho sup
nrosslon of tho disease, but lately th
amount appropriated has been too small
to cover' tho country containing tho In
dlan reservations and In many eases
direct appropriation has been made for In
dividual reservations.
Commissioner Jones, who has Just re
turned from his vacation, SRld today that
in his travels ho had learned thero Is
great fear of a smallpox epidemic among
tho Indians and that tho physicians looked
to this matter with dread. In view of tho
lightness of tho attacks In tho past tew J
years.
With this In mind tho Indian bureau has
prepared a series of Instructions to nil
tho Indian ogents how to handlo tho con
tagion should It break out and more espe
cially how to prevent Its breaking out
by vaccination, which Is urged upon every
Indian.
In this connection a report comes
from Pender that John Fox, ono of tho
healthiest, most robust ludlams in the
tribe, died Wednesday morning from
smallpox and that a deplorable condition
exists In tho trlbo In regard to smallpox.
Tho dlscaso has spread until It Is all
through tho tribe. It Is hard to estlmato
the exact number that have had It and aro
till having It,, as numerous cases wero
not reported to the physician. Had tho
first cases been strictly quarantined tho
dlseuso might havo been checked, but tho
quarantine was lax. Indians aro running
around tho reservation with tho scabs still
on them, spreading the disease right and
left.

PARIS, Oct. B. (New York World Cable
gramSpecial Telegram.) Leopold, king of
the llclgians, was asked by tho World corre
spondent today If tho report Is true that
ho Intends to visit Florida during his
yachting cruise next winter.
"It is one of my plans, ' answered tho
monarch, "but I always have many plans
ahead to choose from. If I should go to
Florida, I certainly Bhould visit New York,
Washington and Annupolls. our naval
school would certainly Interest mo as much
as anything In America."
Tho king and the German ambassador to
Paris, Prince Badolln, wont democratically
onn day this week to tho races nt Malsons
Lentte. While thero they strolled Into
tho cafo attached to tho owners' stand and
Bat long, chatting over their glasses of
beer. A German waiter, Ignorant of who
tho king was, said audibly, lu French, to
another waiter; "Did you over seo suclun
talkative customer as this long-nosed
Dutchman? I wonder how much ho Is go-
lng to glvo me?"
A few minutes later tho king called tho
waiter to pay for tho drinks. Holding out
a Belgian gold louls, he said: "Allow the
long-nosed Dutchman to present you with
his portrait. I am tho man whoso clUgy
Is stamped here."
Tho World correspondent Inquired of tho
king If It had ever been suggested that ho
talto precautions against anarchists and
cranks. Ho replied: "Precautions havo
ever proved Ineffectual. All tho prominent
men killed wero surrounded with precau
tions. I prefer going ubotit this way, as
unguarded as you are. Resides, I would
Just ns lief be killed as feel that detectives

THORU. Fast Prussia, Oct. E, (New lork
World Cablegram Special Telegram.) The
trial here of sixty young Poles for belong
ing to a secret toclety revealed a stato of
affairs anything but pleasant for tho Ger
man authorities in chargo of this portion
of the empire. Tho Polish specking parts
of Germany are honeycombed with secret
societies, which, under tho gulso of pursu
ing literary and scientific objects, aro actu
ally centers of disaffection and dlsloyulty.
Prussian Poland Is becoming more and
moro tho Ireland of Germany, and thero
cannot be any doubt that the Poles of Ger
many will use Germany's futuro necessi
ties for their uatloual purposes.
A largo Polish landowner said thn other
day that every Polo ho know would wil
lingly bear arms against Germany and that
Qcrmany is hated by them with a llercer
hatred than Russia.
Tho secret societies of young roles, of
which thoro nre belloved to bo over 200

It is tholr custom to post sentries, who

They aro divided into groups of four

Tho oath Is taken before a crucltlx, but In

In capture.
The other woman bandit Is 10 years obi

tho mistake of stopping a secret service

Instantly knocked her down with a blow on

of which she bit off half of bis left car.
DE11MN, Oct. 5. Tho most lively topics
of the week here have been the question
of the return of tho Chlueso astronomical
Instruments taken from Pekln, the proposed
crossing of tho Untcr den Mnden by uu
electric rallioad, the reported protest of
tho Hungarian premier, Koloman dc Szell,
against tho proposed German tariff and the
cruiser Gazcllo Incident.
The North German Oazctto this evening
says olllclally tbnt the Gazcllo affair has
been investigated, that parts of ono of tho
cutis uro missing, that a threatening letter
wan posted and that thcie acts wero prob
ably committed by somebody familiar with
quick-firing guns. One eullor Is under examination.
The sccrctlvcness of the officials on tho
subject is condemned and tho natural result
Is that there has been considerable! exagger
ation.
tiuotea (lie Tlirent.
One phper claims thero was a mutiny on
board tho vesvel, which Is commanded by
Captain Neltzkc, a wevoro disciplinarian.
Tho sailors who had served In China were
called upon to perform tho strictest service
and they complained that their food was
not satisfactory. Tho captain one day found
a letter lu his cabin requesting that a
chnngo bo raado and notifying hlra that
otherwise he would be thrown overboard.
An Inscription ou tho door rend:
"Neltke, take carol Hemember tho Kro
slgk case!"
Tho Krosigk case referred to Is that of
Captain von Kronlgk of tho German cav
alry, who was mysteriously shot and killed
lu a riding school In January last, as n re
sult of which two noncommissioned ofllcers
wero tried on tho chargo of murder. They
were acquitted, but were subsequently tried
again and one of them, Marten, was con
demned to death. The moderate newspapers
ask for tho publication of all tho details
connected with tho alleged mutiny.
A'Hlmnie'd of the ConlUcallnn.
Tho wholo press practically agrees that
tho astronomical instruments wero illo
gully carried off. Fven the Krouzo 55el-
tung criticises the nctlon of tho Germans
as follows: "Tho Instruments wero mani
festly taken unlawfully. The perpetrators
undoubtedly acted In good faith, but that
does not settle the affair. Tho least that
can bo done Is to deduct tho vulun of tho
Instruments from the Chinese Indemnity."
Thn statement mado some three weeks
ago that thn Instruments were purchased
and not loaned has not been officially
refuted. The Ncusto Nachrichtcn says It
Is not sufficient to place tho Instruments
at tho disposal of the Chinese and pro
posed to offer to transport them back to
China and replace them ot Germany's ex
pense on the spots from which they were
taken, If China Is unwilling to do so, and
deduct the amount from the Indemnity.
Tho Vorwaerts triumphantly exclaims
that China Intends to leave tho Illegally
acquired goods in Germany as a routlnual
rcmembranco of how Germany respects In
ternational law and says that tho honor of
Germany demands that tho Instruments
be taken back to China.
Tho Ilerliner Zeltung refers to the un
pleasantness of seeing the Instruments
placed near the historic windmill, which
reminds peoplo of tho best traditions of
Prussian Justice.
General satisfaction is expressed at tho
reports that Prlnco Chlng hns given as
surances that the dowugor empress and the
empersr agreo as to tho ncccosity for a
change in tho Chinese system of govern
ment and that reform edicts will bo en
forced ipon the return of the court.
Prlnco Chun, the Chinese special envoy,
nnd his rotlnuo lived three weeks hero at
tho expenso of Kmperor William and the

Tho "round robin" Incident comes in for
n fair sharo ot space. Wbllo tho negotia
tions for surrender were pending before
Santiago tho general officers of Shatter's
army met and signed a round robin, which
was given out for publication. This paper
showed great alarm over tho threatened
coming of yellow and enteric fevers and
went on to aay "this army must bo moved
at once or It will perish."
Of tho round robin itself. General Alger
says he has no criticism to offer. Hut ho
does crltlclso tho publication of it, saying
that It was ono of tho most unfortunato
aud regrettnblo incidents of tho war.
General Alger rovlows at length tho dif
ferences between General Shatter and Ad
miral Sampson and quotes many official let
ters. Ho concludes this chapter Jn these
words:
"It Is difficult to account for Admiral
Sampson's seeming nttltudo toward tha
army during the operations before Santiago,
as well as to excuse htm for his contradic
tory statements subsequently made In his
official report. After tho 3d of July tho ad
miral's conduct may bo duo to the keen
disappointment resulting from his non-par-tlcipatlou
In the engagement with Cervera'a
squadron. Possibly ho felt that Shafter'a
request for a conference on the morning of
July 3, Innocent though it was, was respon
sible for his being deprived of the honor of
actively participating as commandcr-ln-chlef
In ono of tho most rcmarkablo vic
tories in the annals of naval warfare."

Regarding tho proposal to run an electric
railroad line across the Unter der Linden,
tho Neuste Nachrichten says: "The waves
will recedo and no victim Is required. Tho
democrats vainly hoped to make capital out
of the conflict. In view of tho fact that
legal right Is with the crown, as Chief
Hurgomastcr Klrschner said, only those who
strive to dlspluce tho center of gravity, the
crown, speak of the 'power and right of
self-government and urge an enlargement
of the powers of tho llerlln government.
Calmly reflecting on tho reasons why so
much dust was unnecessarily stirred up, wo
recall tho proverb, 'The mountains are In
labor, there will be born a ridiculous
mouse.' Should the efforts mado to change
the sentiments of the crown fall, a base will
have been created for action upon the part
of tho council In recognizing the crown's
rights, upon which an understanding will bo
more easily arrived at than through an Im
proper contest."
The Klelno Journal, commenting on the
defeat of Shamrock II, says: "A great race
has been won In Amorlca. Columbia has
conquered Shamrock II. The latter was or
dered to Cowcs in August to be inspected
and blessed by King Edward. Tho super
stitious will remember that the king was on
board the yacht when it was In great dan
ger. It was unlucky, was defeated and the
cup remains with the Yankees. Sir Thomas
Llpton may build a Shamrock HI,"

War department in tho war with Spain,
commonly known ns tho war Investigation,
or tho Dodge commission, met on the 2ith
day of September, 1S98. Up to the 2lBt of

testimony tn seventeen towns and cities

wherever It went, to tho citizens, soldiers
or ex-soldlers ou opportunity to appear
for complaint or testimony of any kind re
garding the conduct of tho war. The com

there still wero ninny thousands of sol

with this pretended knowledgo of facta
which, it they existed, should havo been

had never mentioned tho subject.
'General Miles seemed to bo pleased with
tho notoriety which his etartllng statement
beforo tho commlsslou nnd his subsequent
newspaper Interview gave him, for again
on tho 31st ot March, 1SW, In New York
City he published through representatives
of tho Arsoclated Press and of a metro
politan paper additional charges. This un-
mllttary and quea'ionablo method ot making
public grave and scandalous charges ro-
gaidlng a brother officer and tho work ot

NKW YORK, Oct. r,. Shamrock II, In tow
of tho lug James Ijiwrence, left tta mooring
buoy fn Sandy Hook bay at 11:15 this morn-
lug, bound for the Erie basin, where It nr
rlvcd at noon. Tho tug then went back for
the tender Porto Rico nnd towed It to th
Mimn place. Tho yacht's mainsail was un
bent and It will probably bo dismantled at
once.
After Sir Thomas Llpton, accompanied by
Mr. Jamcnon aud Mr. Watson, had paid u
farewell visit to Colonel llurbauk and hi
family nt the military post ou Sandy Hook
Erln'ii nnrhor was hovo up ami that yacht
steamed dlroct to New York. It was saluted
by nit the outgoing steamships ou Its way
up thn harbor ind anchored off tho foot ot
West Thirty-fourth street at 3 p. m.
WIIIIiik to l?chniiKC frrirra.
Whan asked If It was truo that ho was
willing to put the captain mid crew of
Shamrock on board Columbia nnd allow that
yacht's crew to handle Shamrock In a series
of races Sir Thomas said:
Yes, 1 should be willing to do It If It Is
lu tho interest of sport and provided, of
courso, tho other sldo is willing."
Thero will, however, be no such race
Monday next, ns both the yachts aro being
stripped and could not bo put In trim
again for weeks. Secretary Oddlo of the
New York Yacht club said that such a
race might create bad feeling, especially
If Shamrock would win. Commodore Knne
said the lden was preposterous.
Speaking of his futuro plans Sir Thomas
said ho was undecided ns yet nbout his
coming engagements, but that ho would go
direct to tho Waldorf-Astoria hotel about
Monday and that Tuesday evening he
would attend n dinner at the New York
Yacht club. He will probably visit Chi
cago about a week hence. Tho date Is not
yet fixed.
Muckny I'rrdleta Spiinir Itnee.
Dr. F. Reid Maekay of Erin said thert
whs every reason to bcllevo that Shamrock
will be laid up In New York this winter
and that In tho spring or next summer it
will be raced against Columbia, Constitu
tion or any other ninety-footer. "For,"
said he, "wo believe that It Is actually a
faster boat than Columbia nnd can beat it
if It is raced again under different conditions."
The following letter, which explains
itself, was sent today:

thero was one.
ON REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE SAYS SHAMROCK BEATS HOPE
"If wc aro to bcllevo written evidence
to tho contrary It does not appear that
General Miles was even honest In making
his dilatory charges that the tinned beet
was Issued as "tho protenso of an experi
ment" and that It was not a part of tho
ration. On Juno 17, 189S, his most confi
dential staff officer signed a letter, "by
direction of the major general command
ing tho army," Instructing the depot com
mlebury at Tampa lo furnish to General
Nunoi 10,i 11 pounds of canned roast beef,
to bo Issued from the subsistence stores at
tho army. If we aro to accept tho read
ing of this letter ns correct It proves
that General Miles knew that canned fresh
beef was a part of tho ration, that ho know
there was a largo quantity of It at Tampa
for Issue to tho troops and that ho bo fr
approved of Its use as to direct that the
