DISAGREES Willi THE RISC 8alibury Flatly Refuses to Recommend Edward's Farorite for Peerage. PREMIER AND RULER SCARCELY SPEAK Excl'uatvu. Set Object to the Dmo eratlo Propensities of the Eng lish Ruler and Much Oos- ;; ' " sip Is (he Tf(,mtL"'; V'.'l ' LONDON, May SI, Those in touch with royal circles are busy gossiping about the reported tiff between Lord Salisbury and King Edward, which is said to have arisen on account of the king's demand that the premier recommend Sir Ernest Cassel for peerage. ' Last year the same request met with a refusal. This year It was again urged1 by the king on the ground of Sir Ernest's munificent gift of' 200,000 to ward the cure of -consumption. The premier absolutely refused to coun tenance the suggestion, and at the end of a stormy Interview which occurred the day the state dinner waa held at Buckingham palace Lord Salisbury remarked: "Well, sir. t suppose I had better leave my place at tonlght'a banquet vacant?" to which the king -Is said to have- replied: "Yes, I think you had," and stalked out of the room. Since' then, according to court gossip. King Edward and bis aged prime minister ' have scarcely been' on speaking terms. " Another Incident which' Is causing con siderable commotion In royal circles Is the disagreement between King Edward and the durhess of Buccleurh, member ot the old-style, exclusive aristocracy, who has not countenanced the so-called "smart set." The king waa to dine with the duke, arid- duchess- of Buceleuch and In timated his desire that a lady of his sur rounding be Invited. - This Is uaually tan tamount to a command, but the duchess of fcuocleurh, nothing, daunted, refused point blank-'to ak the king's friend to make one of the dinner jarty. His majesty -was furious and threaten! to .cancel his promise to dine with the Buccleuchs, whereat the duehess ot Buc eleuch retorted that she was quite willing to aend her resignation aa mistress' of the robes to Queen Alexandra. Later in the day the 'king thought better. ot It. 'Informed the Buccleugtts that he accepted the ex clusion ot hla favorite, and forbade the duchess to resign. Many members of the nobility, especially old country families, make no secrei ot their disapproval ot various events In the klna'a social lite. ' Stern Oat ot Peace Conference. PRETORIA,. May 31.

TAFT IDOL OF FILIPINOS American Governor General's System Give Tbem More Liberty Than Aguinaldo, LATTER'S SECRETARY OF STATE TALKS Declares His People Are Not Prepared (or Self-Government, bnt Meed Tutelage o( the lotted States. WASHINGTON, May 31. Felipe Buen- camino, former secretary of state In the cabinet of Agulnaldo, was heard today for the first time since hit arrival by the bouse committee on Insular affairs. Senor Buencamlno said he waa here rep resenting the federal party and the Influ ential element of the Insurgents and the Kattpunan socloty. He said his country, the Philippines, was like a sick man convalescing from a dan gerous illness. It waa still bleeding from the wounds of war. Its aspirations were those of Washington liberty wtth justice under American sovereignty, which they loved. They looked to congress to give tbem a Just and liberal government. He detailed the facts connected with the early uprising of the Filipinos. Agulnaldo was an Idol and the people believed him when he told them that Dewey had promised therd Independence. Ho reviewed all that had been done since the outbreak and spoke of the gradual ex tension ot American authority and prac tical pacification ot the greater part of the Islands. There were now 800 municipalities es- tabllshed and they had proved satisfac tory. Under the Taft system he said the Filipinos have greater liberty than they would have enjoyed under the Agulnaldo government had it been established. Gov ernor Taft was now the Idol of the people. Want to Know What Ther Are. "We would like to know what we are." he said with emphasis. "Are we Amer icans or are we Filipinos? This Is the ques tion Impressed upon me by the federal party and by the Filipino people." He approved the plan of a legislative as sembly of the Filipino people. "But." said he, "do not call It a Filipino assembly; let the members meet aa Amer icans and let the assembly be American." "If we are to be American cltlxens," be proceeded, "It win be a great achievement. Our desire la to secure a just and liberal government. It congress does not grant citizenship It has that right, but It would be responsible for the future, for we have submitted unconditionally to the will ot con gress." Representative Jones of Virginia called attention to the fact that Blxto Lopes dif fered with Buencamlno and said the minority wanted to have Lopex summoned. Several republicans protested because Lopes Bad not been In the Philippines in recent years. There was some discussion between the members of the committee ot a warm char acter. "I did not think it would so offend the minority to have this witness exonerate American troops," said Chairman Cooper. "I resent that Insinuation," said Mr. Wil liams of Mississippi. "And his remark is not In accordance with facts," aald Mr. Patterson ot Tenn essee. Good School System. Senor Buencamlno spoke ot the many schools and the Improved educational meth ods, the Filipino families no longer find ing it necessary to send their children to Manila, as the local schools' were ample. Instead of 1,200 American teachers, he said, there should be 6,000 and the salaries should bo doubled In order to secure the best ma- terlul. Speaking of education, be said the hostility of the friars to the American gov ernment was evident. He stated that S5 per cent ot the people are Illiterate and cannot read or write. "Are the people capable at this time ot Independent government?" "It would not be advisable," be said, turn lng to the map of the archipelago. Russia was near at hand, at Port Arthur; Japan waa also near; Australia and other British possessions were nearby. Besides be said Great Britain and Germany had on file at the American State department large claims for damages, growing out of the bombard ment of Illollo. "Suppose the United States abandons us," he said, "then all those claims will be pre sented against the Philippines, backed up by squadrons." Doubts Nebraska Boy. Mr. Jones of Virginia questioned the wit ness at length as to the responsibility for the original outbreak. Preparations for war were begun by Agulnaldo as early aa Octo ber, 1893, the witness said. He gave tbo conflicting claims as to who fired the first shot and expressed doubt as to the claim ot a Nebraska soldier that he had fired the first shot. Asked If the Filipinos, after three or four years of American tutelage, could stand alone, Senor Buencamlno said they would be able by that time to determine whether they wanted annexation to the United States or independence. The federal party to which he belonged, opposed the holding of the Philippines aa an American colony. About 15 per cent of the people, bo said, favored a colonial government. He said American troops could be wtth drawn ultimately, except from the Moro country, where they would have to remain for a long time. Mr. Patterson brought out that Buen camlno had served as private secretary to General MacArthur, but he denied hav ing betrayed Philippine secrets to that officer. At another point the witness said the Filipinos wanted the "constitution to fol low the flag." They also wanted liberty with Justice and believed the American system gave this blessing. "Would . the Filipinos take Independence after eight years of tutelage by the United States?" asked Mr. Patterson, referring to the plan ot tbo minority. "If the congress so determined that re suit would be accepted," answered the wit- neaa, "but congress would become reepon slble if the Philippines were devoured by other nations and the Filipinos would be left to damn the congress for bringing about such a result." He contended that annexation waa the solution satisfactory to the people. The witness said the Moros would fight to the death to retain their slaves. REDUCTION IN THE ARMY General Order Decreasing Strength t 66.4D7, Issaed by Secre tary Boot. WASHINGTON,. May 31. By direction of tho president. Secretary Root has Issued a general order decreasing the strength ot our permanent military establishment and changing the ratio ot its makeup as pro vided in the general order Issued laat May to carry out the army reorganization law. Under the general order of last May the total strength of the army was fixed at T7.287 men. The order Issued today re ducca this figure to 66,497 a reduction of k this the ca 10.70 In the cavalry branch of the service the old 4rder specified twelve troops of eighty- fl Tel me a each to a regimeut: the sew or- der establishes twelve troops of seventy five men each. Tbla will decrease the total strength ot the-fifteen' cavalry-regiments from 16.840 to 14,040. In the artillery branch the cosst con tingent will be kept at Its former strength of 126 companies ot 109 enlisted men each, or a total of 13,734, but the field artillery will be reduced from thirty batteries ot ISO men each to twenty-eiaht batteries (twenty-five light and three mounted) ot 120 men each. Provision Is made In the new order for two siege batteries, each with a Strength ot 160 men. which, in addition to the light and mounted batteries, will give the ar tillery cor"ps a total enlisted strength ot 17.742, as against the 18,862 men provided In the former order. The new order re duces tho number of men In Infantry com panies from 104 to eighty, and our thirty regiments of twelve companies each will now give a total Infantry force of 29,830, Instead of 38,520. The strength of the en gineer branch remains as formerly, as does also the strength of the staff departments. It will be the plan of the War depart ment hereafter to divide the army, as pro. vided In the order Issued today. Into thirds, having one-third of the entire establish, ment In the Philippines at all times and the remaining two-thirds In the United States and elsewhere. By this plan an enlisted man, taking six years as a basis, would serve four years- In the United States proper, or in Hawaii or In Alaska, to every two years served in the Philippines.

SUMMER COMFORT Get needy For Warm Weather. By a complete change In breakfast, at this time of the' year, one can put the body right to go through the summer com fortably. Leave off meat, potatoes and heavy body heating foods, and use the food that will nourish the body and give reserve- force to tbe brain and nervous system. A most appetizing and healthful break fast can be made on Grape-Nuts and cream, some fruit and perhaps two soft boiled eggs this meal will furnish full strength and nourishment up to the next and has a remarkable effect on the body during hot weather. Remember the cells of the body you are now building will last you Into summer, so be sure and build the kind that tend to keep a cool body and level head. One pound of Grape-Nuts bu more nourishment that the system will absorb than ten pounds ot meat, without any of the internal heat of meat that a person wishes to avoid during the warm season; Its rich, nutty flavor added to tbe delicate sweet of tbe grape augar makes a dish pleating to the most critical taste. You receive Grape-Nuts from tbe grocer ready to aerve, as It has been thoroughly cooked at the factory by food experts, and this savea best from cooking and time and exertion necessary In preparing ordinary food. A change from the old breakfast to ope like this will refresh and Invigorate the system la a surprising manner and permit you to enjoy the pleaaures ot summer in a cool, comfortable fashion when your neigh bors, differently ted, will be "hot."
