IN THE PHILIPPINES
Keports From Various Military De
partments.
SUPPLY OF FOOD FOR THE AEMY
Health of the Troops Continues to
Be Good.
SUPPRESSING GUERRILLAS
General Mac Arthur's annual report ot
conditions in the Philippines July 4 last,
the date on which he relinquished control
of affairs, is accompanied by Interesting
reports from the officers in command of
the various military departments and the
officers at the head of the various staff de
partments of the army.
Col. S. W. Groesbeck. Judge advocate or
the division of the Philippines, says that
the prosecution of those guilty of violat
ing the law has had a good effect and In
spired among the disturbing element a
wholesome respect for the law. Since Sep
tember 1. 1000, seventy-nine natives have
paid with the death penalty the debts of
murder, arson, assassination and treach
ery, while sixty-nine others sentenced to
death for similar offenses are now serving
terms of life imprisonment, their sentences
having been commuted.
Food for the Army.
Col. C. A. Woodruff, chief commissary,
reports that his department has supplied
nearly loo,0<M) persons with food, which in
cludes, besides the army of 71,000, the re
tainers, prisoners and others necessary to
the conditions existing in the Philippines.
The sale of stores in the city of Manila
amounted to $40,000 a month. The supply
of meat has been the most difficult prob
lem the commissary department has hart to
deal with. Col. Woodruff says beef stew
has made an excellent substitute where
fresh meet and vegetables could not be
obtained. He says that the present arm>
ration Is about perfect for the service in
the tropics. Col. Woodruff discusses at
some length the charges of fraud In the
Philippines, and refers to the action taken
In the conviction of two officers and three
commissary sergeant. The losses on the
part of the officers were $312 and the ser
geants $328. He says that the charges
mad-- were greatly exaggerated. Col. Wood
ruff also denies that champagne was Il
legally purchased.
Health of tlie Troops.
The report of Col. Chas. R. Greenleaf.
chief surgeon, contains considerable of in
terest. lie says the health of the troops
continues good, and the ratio of nonef
fectives has decreased. The immature
youths, the hard drinkers and recruits with
Inherited weaknesses have gradually been
sent to the United States. Service in tho
Philippines shows on a grand scale the
operation of the law of the survival of the
fittest. The most serious feature, ajcord
lng to CoL Greenleaf. is the steady increase
In venereal diseases among the troops,
showing from 8.97 per cent in September,
1U00, an Increase to 20.42 per cent In April
this year. He recommends that a portion
of the city of Manila bo segregated and
placed under medical supervision and in
spection. He says that there is not much
disability among the soldiers from alcohol
ism.
t.uerrilla Warfare Practically Sop
preMtd.
Major General Lloyd Wheaton. command
ing the department of northern Luzon,
briefly discusses the guerrilla warfare, which
has been practically suppressed. He says
"unexampled patience and forbearance was
exercised throughout the department in
the treatment of these savages, habitually
violating all the laws of war as known to
enlightened nations, and the humanity of
the troops engaged in the endeavor to
bring order out of a chaos of robbery, ra
pine and murder has no parallel in the his
tory of dealing with Asiatics."
Brig. Gen. W. A. Kobbe, commanding the
Department of Mindanao and Jolo, reports
that while there have been good relations
between the United States troops and the
natives, there have been many intertribal
and internecine wars, feuds, looting expe
ditions and quarrels, which have disturbed
the various islands. Upon the whole,
however, he thinks the conditions in his
department are very favorable.
Jolo Slavery.
Regarding slavery he says: "Slavery, as
the term is usually understood, does not
exist among the Moros, and radical and
comprehensive measures to abolish It would
at this time be premature and ineffective.
The slaves and masters belong to the same
race and live on equal social terms. It has
been impossible to obtain any information
regarding the number of slaves held any
where^'
Maj. O. J. Sweet. 23d Infantry, reporting
from the third district of Gen. Kobbe's de
partment. says that slavery, although not
recognized by the United States, is still a
fact and a constant source of trouble. He
adds that thousands of Moros are held as
slaves, who are by right free people.
A special report Is made by Maj. H. B.
Orwig. 37th Volunteers, who commanded
the expedition which carried deported Fili
pinos to Guam. In the course of his report
he publishes a telegram from Sixto Lopez
In Boston to Mambina at Guam. It Is aa
follows:
"Aguinaldo captured. I telegraphed to
him in order that he may solicit from
American authorities that he. together with
you. be brought to America. I desire that
you recur to the American authority
thera."
(ien. Crowder*s Report.
Brigadier General E. H. Crowder, mili
tary secretary to General MacArthur, sub
mits a report of considerable Interest, much
of w hich is devoted to the currency, the
scheme for improving which is outlined In
General MacArthur's report. In his report,
however, he shows some Interesting facts.
There has been introduced since the
United States took control a total of f23,
725.*17 in United States currency, neatly
equally divided between gold coin and cur
rency notes. He makes an estimate of
900.184.SOO in circulation in the Philippines,
of which $.'.5,000,000 is Mexican and Filipino
silver.
A considerable portion of Gen. Crowder's
report is devoted to the church question,
which Involves disputes between the Fili
pinos and the friars. He quotes an order
to the commanding general of the Depart
ment of Luzon, which was also sent to
other places where difficulties arose, which
directs that no minister of religion shall be
Interfered with or molested In his calling,
and that there must be a complete separa
tion of church and slate. No public funds
should be used for the support of a reli
gious organization nor any official project
used to collect contributions for the sup
port of church, priests or a religious order.
Transfers of Real Estate.
Gen. Crowder says that considerable ac
tivity has been noticeable in real estate
transfers from religious orders and syndi
cates and corporations since the United
States occupied the islands. Including those
made a few days prior to the fall of Ma
nila. The transfers reported aggregate
more than 213.880 acres, of an estimated
value of $7,000,000 Mexican. These lands
were conveyed principally by the Domini
can, Augustlnlan and Recoilet orders. Gen.
Crowder adds: "Certain of the grantees
applied to the military governor for con
firmation title, and were Informed that
Huch questions should be submitted to the
re-established court for adjudication."
General Crowder devotes considerable
space to Chinese Immigration, and shows
that considerable Irritation exl^s between
the Filipinos and the Chinese.
Relations Wltk the Sultan.
The relations of the military government
with the Sultan of Jolo is discussed, with
special regard to concessions which the
sultan had granted to different parties.
Concessionaries were advised that the
military government did not recognise the
validity of permits granted by the sultan
for the disposal of timber. The pearl llsh
taf permits hare been held to be of doubt
ful validity. At the present time the sul
tan's Jurisdiction Is strictly limited to the
Jolo archipelago, and he exercised no au

GOV. DOLE WANTS A BOND ISSUES.
Secretary Hitehcoelc Says That New
Leftlntation is Necessary.
I It was stated at the Department of the
Interior today that the governor of Hawaii
twice has proposed the issue of bonds to
effect needed public improvements in Ha
waii, and that the Secretary of the Inte
rior on both occasions declined to enter
tain the plan. Governor Dole first request
ed on June 4 the approval of the- President
for a proposed issue of an unstated amount
of so-called Hawaiian treasury notes, un
der act 79 of the provisional Ha
waiian government, a part of the civil
laws of Hawaii In 1897. The object was to
procure a temporary loan to replenish the
territorial treasury. Secretary Hitchcock
replied that the fact that the amount was
neither stated nor estlmater was of itself
a sufficient objection. The givernor had
Inclosed an opinion of the territorial at
torney general, which the Secretary in his
reply declining to take up the plan ssys
does not directly express the opinion that
the proposed Indebtedness can ba lawfully
Incurred under existing laws.
The Secretary says that new legislation
is indispensable to the bond Issue, and that
the governor has not Indicated that any
such legislation has been had nor can It
be safely anticipated.

MUST MEET REGULATIONS.
Plumber May Directed to Remedy Al
leged Defects In His Work.
In response to the request of R. E. L
Thompson that the plumbing work In 2101
4th street northeast be approved. Charles
B. Ball. Inspector of plumbing, has report
ed to the District Commissioners that tha
applicant employed a steam fitter to con
struct a hot water apparatus for heating
his house, and also to furnish a kitchen
range. The connections from the water
back in the range to the hot water boiler
were made with certain lengths of black
Iron pipe, Instead of galvanized Iron, the
prescribed material for water supply lines.
It was also discovered that an expansion
pipe from the hot water heating system
was run to discharge over the flush tank
la the bath room In violation of the regu
lations.
Mr. Ball says he had some consultation
with the owner about the matter, and as
he stated that the steam fitter had been
paid and refused to make good the defects,
it appeared to him desirable to attempt,
under the regulations, to compel him to do
so. Consequently Mr. Ball has forwarded
to the Commissioners for execution a letter
addressed to Peter J. May of 820 H street
northeast, calling attention to the fact that
his work in Mr. Thompson's house has been
Inspected and certain changes found to be
necessary. He Is directed to make these
within a specified time and to report the
proper stages of progress to the inspector
of plumbing for Inspection.
Just what course will be pursued In case
the steam fitter refuses to obey the plum
bing department's order has not been men
tioned, but It Is supposed an attempt will
be made to suspend his plumbing license.
PROPOSED AVENUES BUILDINGS.
Plans for Site Now Occupied by Cen
tury-Old Structure.
It is understood that plans are being pre
pared for a row of one-story buildings to
be erected on the north side of Pennsyl
vania avenue near 15th street. These build
ings, it Is proposed, are to occupy the site
of the old structure which has stood there
for so many years, with a frontage west of
the alley nearly to the Corcoran building.
The two upper stories of this quaint
building, with Its high, sloping roof, have
not been used for several years past, but
the ground floor is occupied for business
purposes, some seven stores In all.
The property belongs to Mr. Joseph EL
Willard, and was formerly owned by his
father. With Che exception of a ooat of
paint and some changes to adapt the old
structure for its present uses, it stands to
day but little different in appearance, ap
parently, from that it had when It was
erected, over a hundred years ago.
It is one of the old-time structures in
the city, having been erected about the
year 1798 for hotel purposes, and so used
for a long period. It antedated the old hp
tel bunding at the corner of Pennsylvania
avenue and 14th street, which is now ths
site of the new Willard's Hotel.
Adoption of Cklld Legalised.
Justice Clabaugh of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia yesterday signed
m order legalising the adaption of Hasel
A. Smart by Addta M. Bush. The latter,
so the court was Informed, has provided
for, maintained and educated Hazel for the
past Ave years, during which time neither
of her parents contributed anything to her
support or education. The petitioner was
desirous of making Hazel her heir-ln-law.
The child is eight years of age. It is set
forth that her mother, Orllscia R. Smart,
was granted a divorce from her husband,
Frank L. Smart. In Knox county, Me.,
September 22, 1900. Mrs. Smart was also
decreed the custody of her children. The
mother formally consented to the adoption
of Hazel by Mrs. Bush. Attorney Joseph
A. Burkhart conducted the proceedings for
the latter.
SEWER CONTRACT SUSPENDED.
CominlMlonrra Will Complete Worlc j
at Contractor's Expense.
Owing to the delay which has been prac
ticed In the construction of the sewer along
16th street northwest between K and^ L?
streets, and along K street between ir.th j
and 16th streets, the District Commission
ers have decided to suspend the contract
and to finish the work themselves, charg
ing up the amount necessary to the funds
due the contractor. This action was based
upon a report from O. L. Ingalls, assistant
engineer In the sewer division. The con
tract for the construction of the sewer was
made with Adam McCandllsh. The work,
according to the terms of the contract,
should have beeen completed June 25. rso
application for an, extension of time was
received from the contractor, and it is
stated that the work has progressed to no ,
appreciable extent since, the time the con
tract expired. Mr*. Ingalls recommended
that the District government complete the
work, stating that at present the sewer
trench is open in part' and believed to be
in & dangerous condition- .
D. E. McComb, ^th6 superintendent of
sewers, in indorsing'the recommendation or
Engineer Ingalls, ..recommended that tne
cost of the inspection of.the work since the
time of the expiration of the contract alto
be charged against'' the funds due to Mr.
McCandllsh. Captain Chester Harding, as
sistant to the Engineer Commissioner, in
forwarding the papers ;to the Commission
ers, stated:
"The course recommended is clearly cov
ered by the speclfiCatftJhs forming a part
of the contract, anil to/ in my Judgment,
amply justified by- the (continued ack ei
progress and inexcusable delay In carrying
on the work." ? <?
Three Shared Doyle BetvaJ-d.
The $100 offered as a reward for the ar
rest of Charles Doyle, colored, who killed
Harlan Dent, colored. In this city last

Farden. a real estate dealer, were given

Their Photographs Takes.
Three young nven, whose names ? were
given as Daniel Kirby, Louis Klmmer and
Samuel Barnes, were photographed at po
lice headquarters this morning. Their pio
tures were sent to the Philadelphia author
ities, as the prisoners said they were from
the Quaker city. Policeman McQuade of
the first precinct arrested the trio near
the Bon Marche between 4 and 5 o'clock
this morning. The officer saw one of them
near a show oase, and after the arrests
had been made it was found that the lock
on the show case had been tampered with.
It is also believed that the young men
were seen at a late hoar last night near a
house to Le Droit Park. They told til* po
lice that they paid their Cares from rata
delphia to Baltimore, and that they rode
here from the latter city on a freight train.
The police are making a further Investi
