Other Side _- Conflicting—No Fear oi

t
Washington, J1me 13.—The latest ad-
vices from administration circles are
to the effect that there is no intention
of letting go of the Philippines as a
condition of peace, nor is anyone so
optimistic as to predict an early term-
ination of the war.
That there is a fixed determination
to hold the Philippines now seems ap-
parent. It is two days since General
Merritt was quoted as having said:
“What the navy has taken the army
will hold,” when discuSslng the situa-
tion at Manila.
Yet not even .a qualified disclaimer
has been put forth to these significant
words of the military governor of the
Philippines, and the general disposi-
tion is to regard them as in a, large
degree officialLIt is not impossible that
this terse statement by General Mer-
ritt was put out as a “feeler” to learn
whether the country would look favor-
ably on a. “colonial policy.”
This view of the matter seems borne
out by events following the speech at
the San Francisco dinner. Major Gen-
eral Merritt wants more troops. He
has been in communication with W'ash-
ington on the subject and has the as-
surance that additional forces will be
granted him. .
The work of organizing the engineers
and signal corps for Manila. is ro-
ceeding slowly, as not enough men can
be found. So far only twenty-seven
have enlisted. Fifty men are wanted
in each corps, and as California can-
not supply them, Major Thompson has
telegraphed East asking for volunteers.
Major J. F. Bell, engineer officer on
Major General Merritt’sstaff, and chief
of. the bureau of information of the
Philippine expedition, has received or-
ders 'to leave for Manila Tuesday. He
will depart on the first transport and
will be accompanied .by a large corps
of assistants.
News from the other side is about
equally satisfactory and unsatisfac-
tory. That coming in the latter cate-
gory is a report from Shanghai that
the extension of the Hong Kong boun-
dary has been signed at Pekin. If this
is correct, ‘it will affect American dis-
patch vessels as the new boundary em-
braces Kowloon and Mir-s bays, thus.
necessitating a new base in Chinese
waters, which will be more distant.
Encouraging; henna:
offsets this is to the effect that the
much talked of Cadiz squadron need be
feared [neither in the l'l'niippincs nor
in the "West Indies. This information
comes in the follmvihg dispatch dated
at Lisbon Saturday:
“Captain Aunon has stated he would
not leave Cadiz until the fleet started,
and' that he will remain aboard the
flagship Pelayo until out of sight of
land.
“It appears that the cruiser Alfc-n-
so XIII is not ecz‘viccable, being so
defective that she has been nicknamed
in the navy the ‘sarcofago ambulame‘
(the floating coflln}.
The condition of the Peluyo is very
dubious.
“It is significant that the Portuguese
papers are friendly to Spain. Under
the present circuzlsstances it is gener-
ally recommended tlzat the latter coun-
try sue for peace. '
“Without any doubt the public sen-
timent in Portugal is anti-American.
The press, without exception, takes the
side of Spain, and it does so reflecting
popular opinion, which favors Spain
from causes of race, religion and ex—
tensive intermarriage. .
“The commercial world is anti-Amer-
ican because the war stopped impor-
tant financial negotiations pending and
which were calculated to extricate this
country from the ~l=’:l‘1’ible condition in-
to which its monetary affairs have fal-
len. Ever since the war began ex-
change has been getting worse and
worse.”

President- Bas Ordered Gen. (‘nppinger
‘and Gen. Lies to Eastern the Ex .‘..I ion.
Walshington, \D. 0., June 13.—-Now
that the troops have embarked for
Santiago, the entire attention of the
war department is being‘lturned to the
Porto Rican army. Orders have been
sentby President McKinley to Major
General Coppinger, who will command
the expedition, and to Major General
Lee, who will be second in command,
to hasten the Porto Rican expedition
in every way possible.
Under the most favorable circum-
stances it will be utterly impossible to
gre‘t the army embarked and started for
Porto Rico in less than two weeks. The
troops that will constitute the expe-
dition will be drawn from the armies
now encamped in Tampa and Jackson--
ville.
At the latter place there are at pres-
ent ten thousand volunteers under the
command of Major General Lee. It will
not be necessary to take this entire
force at Jacksonville for the Porto Ri-
can expedition, as the intention of the
government is to send only an army
of about ten thousand men 'to San
Juan, some of whom will be regulars
from Tampa.
A commission of officers is now in
the South investigating the facilities
offered for .embarkation by Jackson-
ville, Fernandina and other places.
This commission will make its report
to the war department some time next
week. '
HOW BONDS WILL BE ISSUED.
Mr Vendor-lip Explains the Procedure
Under the War Revenue Bill.
Washington, June 13.-—A-ssista.nt Sec
rotary Vanderlip, who has bad person-
al charge of the details of the proposed
bond issue, said yesterda‘y:
“The subscription for $200,000,000 of
the 3 per cent. bonds just authorized
by Congress will be opened by the
treasury department as soon as the
bill is signed by the president, and will
close at 3 p. m. on July 14. This gives
ample time even for the most remote
sections of the country to receive com-
plete information regarding the details
of the issueand to have subscriptions
from such points reach the treasury.
riv'ery channel willbe used to d-issem—.
inate in the widest possible manner in-
formation rega-rding this issue and to
make it in every sense a successful
popular loan. A great number of sub-
scriptions have been received in ad-
vance of the passage of the act, and
there is every reason to believe that
the issue will be largely o-versubscrib-
ed.
“By the terms of the law the allot-
ment will be peculiar. ' The law pro-
vides that the smallest subscriptions
shall be first allotted, land the allot-
ments made inversely in accordance
with the size of the subscriptions. That
will result in a. line being sharply
drawn at some point, and all subscrip-
tions in amount below that point will
be «awarded in full, while all subscrip-
tions for an amount eXceeding that
sum will receive no allotment what-
ever.
Every precaution is taken to preven‘.
individuals repeating subscriptions and
thus getting 'an undue advantage. The
law provides that all individual sub-
scriptions must be allotted first, and
therefore subscriptions from comer-:1-
tions and associations other than indi-
viduals will only receive an allotment
in the event that the mdividual sub-
scriptions fall short of the $200,000,000
which is at present offered.
“The'treasury will print about four
million subscription blanks and circu-
larsof information. They will be put
in the hands of every money order
postmaster and in every banking olfice
and express office at the earliest pc's~
sible moment. Circulars now being
prepared will fully set forth the terms
under which subscriptions will be re-
ceived."

Washington, June 13.—The navy de-

from Admiral Sampson upon the hero-
ism of Lieutenant Hobson ‘and his men
ago channel: ,
United States Flagship New York,
Off Santiago, J one 3, 1898.
Permit me to call your special at-
tention to Assistant Naval Constructor
Hobson. As stated in a special tele-
gram before coming here, I decided to
make the harbor entrance secure
against the possibility of egress by
Spanish ships, by obstructing the nar-
row part of the entrance by sinking a.
collier at that point.
Upon calling upon Mr. Hobson for
his professional opinion as to a sure
method of sinking the ship, he mani-
fested the most lively interest in the
problem. After several days’ consider-
ation he presented a solution which he
thought would insure the immediate
sinking of, the ship when she reached
the desired point; in .the channel. This
plan we prepared for execution when
we reached Santiago. The plan con-
templated a crew of only seven men
and Mr. Hobson, who begged that it
might be intrusted to him. The anchor
chains were arranged on deck for both
the anchors, forward and aft, the plan
including the anchoring of the ship al-
most automatically.
As soon as I reached Santiago and
had the collier to work upon, the de-
tailswvere completely and diligently
prosecuted, hoping. to complete them in
one day, as the moon and tide served
Notwithstanding every effort, the hour
of 4 o’clock in the morning arrived and
the preparations were not completed.
After a careful inspection of the final
preparations, I was forced to relinquish
the plan for that morning as dawn was
breaking. Mr. Hobspn begged to try
it at all hazards.
This morning proved more propitious
as a prompt start could be made. Noth-
ing could have been more gallantly ex-
ecuted. We vailed impatiently after
the firing by the Spaniards had ceased.
When the men did not reappear from
the harbor at 6 o’clock I feared that
they had all perish-ed. A steam launch,
which had been sent in charge of Na-
val Cadet Powell to rescue the men, ap-
peared at this time, coming out under
a persistent fire from the batteries, but
brought none of the crew. A careful
inspection of the harbor from this ship
showed that the llierrimac had been
sunk in the channel.
This afternoon the chief of staff. of
Admiral Cervera came out under a flag
of truce with a letter flcm the admiral
extolling‘the bravery of the crew in an
unusual manner. 1 cannot myself too
earnestly express my appreciation of
the conduct of Mr. liobson and his gal—
lant crew. I venture to slag-that a.
more brave and daring thing has not
been done since Cusliing blew up the
Albemarl-e. . -
Referring to the Inspiring letter
which you addressed to the officers at
the beginning of, inc war, I am sure
you will offer a sultable professional
reward to Mr. Hobsozl and his compan-
lOIlS.
Miller relinquished his command with
the very greatest reluctance, believing
he would retain his command under all
circumstances. 'ic was, however, final-
ly convinced that the attempt of an-
other person to carry out the multitude
of details which had been in prepara-
tion by Mr. Hobson. might endanger its
proper execution. I therefore took the
liberty to relieve him for this reason
only.
There were hundreds of volunteers
who were anxious to participate; there
were 150 from the Iowa, nearly as
many from this ship, and large num-
bers from all the,other ships, officers
and men alike.

places and muddy ponds. Hitherto-
rheum-atlc sufferers have rubbed them-
selves with angle worm oll', hoping to
make themselves as limber as the
worms are, or with fish oil. because
fish can live out in the wet without
getting lame. This year the fashion
has changed, and no sufferer will think
of using anything but the silky skins
of the water snakes. -
The snakes are skinned, after the
manner employed on eels‘, and the
the skins are boiled for several hours
in a. mixture of hemlock bark and lin-
seed oil, after which they are stretched
upon a smooth stick, and placed behind
the stove to dry. When thoroughly
cured they are made up into bows or
four-in-hand ties, according to size,
and are worn by those who believe in
their efficacy. The colors are alter-
nate rings of dark bottle green "and
straw yellow, and when these tints are
set off with a bright scarf pin and
placed in contact witha White linen

The effect of the ties upon rheuma-

TO TEACH FOOTBALLERSTO TACKLE
A Unique Method Invented by One ofOuI
Big Teams.
Tackling is the most difficult part of
football. A low tackle may be danger-
ous to the tackler, and 'a tackle too
high may enable a man to escape the
tackler’s grasp. The surest tackle is
about the waist.
One of our big football clubs has hit
on a new idea. A canvas bag about
the size of a man is swung from an up—
right bar, and midway about the bag
is what looks like a life-preserver. The
bag is swung, and men are given les-
sons in tackling it below the “life-pre-
server.”
machine to teach men how to tackle.
The method of using the novel con:
trivance is as follows: The men are
lined up about ten yards away from
this supposed opponent, and each takes
his turn at tackling it. That seems
simple enough; but just as the player
makes his headlong dive for the fig
ure, one of the attendants, by pulling a
. rope, jerks the figure to the side. Un-
less the player is remarkably quick,
he is liable to tackle thin air, and in
about half a scond after lands on the
earth with a thud, while the crowd ap-
plaud and laugh. The device is a prac-
tical one, however, and the trainers
are unanimous in their approval of i‘

A Conclusive Argument.
One was a. slight, beautiful woman
of middle age, faultlessly dressed and
speaking in a. voice whose every in-

New York Tribune. The other was a.
brusque, jolly looking young creature
in a. chic business suit,"and the two
were arguing Warmly.
“Yes, I attend the life class, and I .
believe it is all right. I must, if I want
to become an artist," said the younger
woman. -
But you, a Christian,” remonstrated
the older woman, severely.
“Yes, and you,” cried the artist, “who
reproach me, have a painting of the
Christ in your drawing room that you
could not have if the human form was
not studied byartists and sculptors.”
