THE MORNING- OKEGQNIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBEK 13, 1900. A Troops to Be Withdrawn From Porto Rico.. ' - - s ' ORDERED BY SECRETARY ROOT The Soldiers to Be Relieved, From Dutr IbT tlxe Ialaad May Be" Sent to Manila. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1Z The following order was made public at the Wat De partment today: "War Department, Washington, Nor. 8, ISOO-By direction of the President, the Department of Porto Rico "will be dis continued on December 15, 1900, and the island of Porto Rico and the Islands and 3ceys adjacent thereto will be attached to the Department of the .East and des ignated the District of Porto Rico. The Colonel, Lieutenant-Colonel, headquarters, band and one battalion of the Eleventh Infantry and the squadron of the Klftn Cavalry, now serving in Porto Rico, win be relieved from duty therein soon as practicable, and sent to New Totk City, whence they will proceed to such stations as may be designated hereafter. Brigadier-General George W. Davis, U. S. V., now in command of the Department xf Porto Rloo. will, upon the discontinu ance of that department, repair to Manila, F. L, and report to the commanding Gen eral, Division of the Philippines, for as signment to duty as- Inspector-General of that division. ELIWJ ROOT, "Secretary of War. "By command of Lieutenant-General (Miles. "H. C, CORBIN, Adjutant-General." This order -was issued after a f ulf cable consultation with Governor Allen, of Porto Rico, and after General Davis, "Who lately has been la command, had made his recommendations. It was the opinion of Governor Allen that the reduction Of the force in Porto Rico would be emU nently satisfactory to the people of the Island, and that the force to he retained would be ample for present purposes. This leaves in Porto Rico the native regi ment, consisting of S50 men; a battalion of the Eleventh Infantry, and 'Batteries F and G, of the Fifth Artillery. These troops will be under the command of Lieutenant-General James A. Buchanan, who Is now In command of the native regiment. It Is quite .probable that the troops which are ordered from Porto Rico may In time be sent lo the Philippines. TALK OF CABINET CHANGES. Hay May Exchange Places With Am bassador Choate. NEW YORK, Nov. 12. The Journal end Advertiser cays In a Washington dispatch: "That Secretary of Btate Hay shall return to the Court of St James as the Ambassador from the United States Is the determination of the President. His plan is based on. the desire of the pres ent Administration, the British Foreign Office . and Secretary Hay himself. No Ambassador nor Minister from the Unit ed States has ever been so welcome as C61onel Hay will be 'at London. -Oln-clals say there is time enough- to consider what will be offered to Mr. Choate, the present Ambassador at Lon don. Mr. Choate may resume his law practice in. New York, or he may con sider 11-n an exchange of places with Colonel .ay would not be undesirable. But Secretary Root's name has recently been mentioned for the State portfolio." Says the Times in special from Washington: . . , . "The talk about the Immediate dis ruption of the Cabinet' Is without foundation. The Cabinet wjll, stand by the President until "his -next lnaugora tlon. " Those members "wttd "aTff'ttnxlous to retire will" have" their Chance -then. Nevertheless, there will baweUanges-on March 4. though the President would be satisfied if there were not. Many of the members of the .present Cab inet are anxious" to. return to private life. The most conspicuous example "is Attorney-General Griggs, -who makes a considerable sacrifice by remaining Postmaster-General Smith accepted his place solely because the. President want ed him in the Cabinet. He has no great liking for the office, though he has stud led Its duties and discharged (them con scientiously. Mr. Smith would like "to leave the Poatofnce Department, but'lt is probable that he will be transferred to some other office, so that Mr. McKlnley may still 'have him in the Cabinet. "Secretaries 6age arid. Long have long been spoken of as anxious to retire. This leads to confident statements that they will not be In the next Cabinet, There Is no certainty of that, however. The President has already induced Mr. Long to remain in the Cabin against his wish, and may do so again. At one time it was reported that Sec retary Hay would not stay in the Cabi net through another Administration. Lat er, however, and especially since the country learned to appreciate Mr. Hay's work In the department, there has been no Indication that he would retire. Secretary Root will almost certainly be in the next Cabinet. There is no man upon, whom the President more thor oughly relies. He will continue to be Secretary of War. unless Mr. Hay re tires. In which case Mr. Root probably will take the State Department. Secre tary Wilson will also remain in the Cabi net, unless all signs falL Nothing Is known about the intention of Secretary Hitchcock." THE COaiTXG CONGRESS. Three Important Measures to Be Acted Upon. CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 12. Senator Hanna has returned here after a brief visit to New York. He expects to remain In this city until Congress comenes. In discussing the coming session, Mr. Hanna saldt "Congress this year will have some very Important duties to perform. Three great bills, the Nicaragua Canal bill, the Army bIH and the Ship Subsidy bill are all to cams before It. The. Nicaraguan Commis alon will make its report early in the ses sion and the debate in the Senate will probably begin early. I presume there will be changes of some Importance in the bill. It is reason able to suppose that a lapse of several months has made a difference In the sen timent of the people on the bill and' a change In some t Its. main features will be the natural result. The Costa RIcan treaty especlally',ln olved us in consider able difficulty, and the Costa Rlcan Gov ernment .h&d to be consulted.' When ' aked withwhat .measures, ,he "would most lnteresjTTurnseif during'" tie session. Senator Hanna said "I have no pet measure this year and shall take no particular interest in any 'of the bills before Congress. Perhaps I am as- much interested in Senator Fire's ship subsidy bill as a any." . BIG' -GV.NS "Td BEL TESTS. - "i" "jf" " - - M?t- irerulo Tfcejr; tf srje6iv Calibers Jn tnfr World. " - NEW YORK.

Adjutant-Gen-erakCorbhi according to a Tribune spe cial from Washington, has started a movement to induce Congress to remove from the statute books a law that makes an unjust discrimination against West Pointers in the Army. It Is almost In explicable says the Adjutant that such legislation should ever have been enacted or have remained in force 12 years, as that which favors the promotion of en listed men to commlssfons above the young mer specially educated at Gov ernment expense to fill commands. In his current annual report. General Corbin deotes considerable space to the act of June 18, 1878, which provided for the promotion to the grade of commanding officer of meritorious non-commissioned officers who shall be found morally, In tellectually and phjslcally qualified for promotion, and the act of July 30, 1892, which extends to all unmarried soldiers under 30 years, and possessing the requis ite qualifications, the privilege of com peting, at prescribed examinations, for commissions. That the law operated well In attract ing to the ranks a superior class of In telligent young men was demonstrated by the yearly Increasing number who ob tained admission into the command branch of the Army. There were six in 1S93 and 68 in 1900. These men were com pelled to serve In the ranks only two years under the law, and calling atten tion to this fact, General Corbin says: "Experience has shown that two yean Is too brief a period In which enlisted men can fit themselves for the important duties of command officers. It is little less than travesty to say that a man can Qualify as an officer by serving as an jenllsted man in one-half the time required for a cadet to complete his course at West Point. It Is recommended that the law be amended to read four years in stead of two. This will put appoint ments from the ranks and military acad emy on the same footing." MOROCCO DECLINES TO PAY. Warship Will Be Sent to Moorish Water and Saltan May Submit. WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. The govern ment of Morocco has again declined to meet the demands of the United States for the payment of an Indemnity on ac count of the killing by a mob of Marcus Esslglan, a naturalized American citizen. The last request was made by United States Consul Gummec, and the latest de clination of the government of Morocco was accompanied by an intimation of Its freedom from liability under the terms of the convention between Morocco and Spain. The State Department has come to the conclusion that the Consul's repre sentations will be more effective if he is supported by the presence, in Moroccan waters, of a United States warship, arid it is probable he will make his visit to Fez to present again the case as a pas senger on, a vessel to be selected by the. Navy Department for that purpose, which will proceed to the port nearest to the Moroccan capital. Schley at Montevideo. . MONTEVIDEO. Nov. 12.

Nov12 A special dis patch from Washington to the Herald says that It was a decided surprise to the representatives of the foreign gov ernments at the capital and to the United States officials generally to learn that an agent of the United States War Depart ment, as had been pnbllshed, had ob tained such exact and detailed knowledge of the plan for new French field guns as to -enable him to construct such a gun for the United States. Frenbh field artillery Is admittedly in advance of that of any other government In the world. There have been Important features about the guns and their car riages that have been for several years kept secret from the other powers. It was on a charge of having revealed to Germany some of the features of an earlier type of this gun that Captain Drefus was sentenced to Imprisonment on Devil's Island, It was equally shrprls ing that the War Department permitted this information to become public, but no one was more surprised at the publi cation than were the high officials of that department. What course the French Government will adopt in the matter no one at Wash ington knows. No fault can be found with the Government of the United States ALL RIGHT. BUT ON THE ISSUES Beyond a doubt Mr. Bryan would hae been triumphantly elected but for two things. The first was the In trusion of the silver Issue. Free silver was dead, and so unpopular that even its corpse was enough to drag any man down to defeat. The second was the policy of cuttlns loose entirely from the Philippines. That was not In ac cord with the spirit of the American people. New Tork Journal, Bryan Bern. for accepting the information that has been offered. Several civilized governr ments maintain military and naval at taches at the capitals of other powers for the express purpose of learning all that is possible about the armaments of the countries to which they are accredited. It is possible that France will never make any Inquiries of the Government in the matter. M, Thlebaut, the Charge d'Affaires of the French Embassy, it Is understood, is disposed to doubt whether much information of value has been ob tained. He has not heard from his. gov ernment in any way Jn regard to, the- mat ter. Lieutenant-General Miles, who is president of the Board of Ordnance and Fortifications, is Inclined to make light of the publication. "Inventors in all countries," ho said last night, "are continually working in the science- of artillery and explosives, incor porating the result of their researches In Improvements presented to their govern ment for trial fcn J adoption. Is It strange that the concentration of different minds on the subject should produce the same result?" It Is understood that First Lieutenant Mott, Seventh Artillery. Military Attache in Paris, .had no connection whatever with ihe matter. It is intimated that the ln .dividual who disclosed the information to General Miles is now in Washington, but by the very nature of things his Identity must, be kept secret, "Will French Government Act? WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. The French Ambassador has thus far given no official recognition to the publication that an. agent of the War Department has placed at the disposal of the Board of forti fications the secrets of the new French field gun. It can be stated positively that the French Charge d'Affalres, M. Thle baut, will "take no initiative in the mat ter.

While he was hero on his last visit he left checks -with me for dif ferent" charitable objects. If Mr. Villard had not discovered and developed this part pf the country when he did, I do not know but we would yet be n back woods." Richard Koehler, manager of the Ore gon & California, said ,,"By the death of Henry Villard the Northwest loses one who held a promi nent place In the history of Its develop ment. To his farsightedness and his great financial ability we owe among other achievements, the completion of our first transcontinental line much earlier than It could have been completed with out his efforts. His work In connection wjtth the development of the local rail systems, the improvement of ocean routes by modern steamers, the opening up of the many varied resources of the country, and his efforts to settle up the country, must secure for him the warmest remem brance in this section, to which he de voted so much of his energies." Beheaded by the Empress' Orders. BERLIN, Nov. 12. The Lokal Anzeiger publishes the following from its Shanghai correspondent: "Natives from Hankow say that the Empress beheaded a number of telegraph officials, who accepted a secret message from'Emperor Knang Hsu to Count von Wald'ersee, Informing him that he (tho Emperor) was being kept a prisoner, and was unable to return to Pekln. They also say that other executions occurred in connection with the matter." Miners' Strike In Indiana. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Nov. 12.

ON When Approved hjf the Powers, They Will Be Pressed, Vpon China as the Basis of a Treaty. LONDON Nov. 13. Dr. Morrison, wir ing to tho Times from Pekln, Sunday, says: "Pressed by the common desire for a speedy termination -of present conditions, the foreign envoys have finally agreed to tho following terms to be presented- in a Joint note, which, subject to tho appro val of the Government, will bo pressed upon China as the basis of a preliminary treaty: "China shall erect a monument to Baron' von ICetteler on the site where .ho was murdered and send an Imperial Princo to Germany to convey an, apol ogy. "She shall inflict the death penalty upon 11 Princes and officials already named and suspend provincial examina tions for flvo years where the outrages occurred. "In future, all officials falling to pre vent antlrforelgn outrages within their jurisdiction shall be dismissed and pun ished. (This a a modification of Mr. Conger's proposal.) "Indemnity shall be paid to tho states, corporations and individuals. . "The Tsung LI Yamun shall be abol ished and its functions vested in a for eign minister.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.The opening of the Interior of China to modern civiliza tion la regarded at Washington, says a Journal and Advertiser special, as a prob able outcome of the present negotiations between China and tho powers. While the details are being left to the Minis ters at Pekln, In order to secure a basis of agreement, the information which Is reaching the State Department and the various representatives of the powers In Washington indicates that several Import ant steps will probably be taken In the negotiations now going on which will tend to make easier the adoption of modern economic Ideas of the Celestial Empire. The "steps to be taken turn to a con siderable extent upon the question of the payment of indemnity. An effort is be ing made by the United States, supported by the other liberal powers, to check the excessive demands and limit the money payment to the actual damages suffered by the powers with their citizens and sub jects during the recent troubles. Not withstanding this policy of moderation, the amount to be asked of China by all the powers will be considerable say $100, 000,000 or $200,000,000.

It Is felt both by the Chinese liberals at home and by the representatives' of some of the powers that It Is not wise nor practicable to force reforms upon the whole of China with a rapidity which might lead to fresh outbreaks among the Ignorant masses like those which have recently aroused them against the "for eign devils." It is hoped, however, In view of the. representations which are reaching the State Department that the Chinese Imperial Government will adopt a policy which will extend economic re form and open the Interior of China to the commerco of the civilized powers as rapidly as advantage can be taken of such opportunity. HAVING GOOD EFFECT. Chinese Deeply Impressed by the Execution of Officials. WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-It is under Stood that the Chinese authorities at Pe kln have been profoundly Impressed by some ol the executions of Chinese offic ials which have taken place recently, and that they have made known in an official way their surprise and regret that this should bo done while the peace negotiations are going on. It app ara that the execution of the acting viceroy of Chi LI is looked upon as peculiarly reprehensible. This acting viceroy acted during the absenco of LI Hung Chang at Pekln- The" Chinese minister made a call on Secretary Hay today, mainly for the purpose of getting news on tho progress of affairs. When asked as to tho execut ing of the acting viceroy of Chi Li, he would make ho statement, although It. 13 understood that he Is fully advised of tho feeling of deep concern which prevails ambng -the Chinese officials at Pekin concerning this act and others of a similar character. The Tien Tain Annexation. NBW YORK, Nov. 12. The Yalta, Rus sian, correspondent of the Herald, cables that he has been authorized to state that the story of General Llnevltcb having notified the Consuls at Tien Tsln of the annexation of land opposUe tho British and German concession ls false. It Is added that Russia Is not at war with China and that there can bo no question of annexing territory which is against all Russia's Ideas. On "the subject of railroads the Herald's correspondent's authority, says: "It Is trut that certain roads had been damaged and that the Russians repaired and held t'lem until a statement of ex pensed for repairing had been made up. That is quite fair, but a big fuss Is made by tl'e English, who, it is said, took so conspicuous a part in the looting and holding a public auction in the British Erubassy. All the reports received here point to tho conduct of the Russian troops having been exemplary in every way." Belsium Not a Land Grabber. BRUSSELS, Nov. 12.

Chicago people may have a chance to see one of the biggest displays of shooting stars Wednesday night, and again they may not Whether the heavenly performance which was ex pected last year and, did not come will be seen this year is just now the ques tion that is puzzling astronomers. At tho University of Chicago no prepa rations to either count or photograph tho leonids have yet been made, but if tonight or tomorrow night shows a clear sky,' Professor Cleaves and his as sociates will keep a watch for forerun ners of the big shower, and if they 'ap pear will fix the cameras" for Wednesday night,-- '"- - , ., . . -- Last November astronomers were cer- tain that the shower of leonids was due. but owing to some ,devlations in the course.ot the swarm of meteors they did not arrive. There has been no calcula tion to prove their coming this week, but scientists do not care to be caught off their guard, and they will be on the alert for the celestial manifestation. t Professor G.

EFFECT OF THE ELECTION. Filipino Freebooters Will Not Give Up Guerrilla Warfare. NEW YORK, Nov. 12. A special to the Herald from Washington says: The high officials of the War Department believe the election In the United States Will have a good effect In the Philippines, and will lead tho more sensible Filipinos to abandon the insurrection. At the same time, the officers look forward to a long period of guerrilla warfare. It is realized that the Independent, Ir responsible life of the military freebooter has many attractions for many of tho Filipinos, who would rather extort trlb ute at the muzzle of their rifles than work for their living. Even if the in surgents should be deprived of the lead ership of Aguinaldo and of many of the Wti.i. Trfi"A Influential omnna tham I yt.111 W..V ...IS.. ....AM....

Unless Congress shall so amend the law under which the present volunteer army was enlisted as to permit volunteers to be discharged In the Philippines and sub sequently transported to the United States, it will be necessary to begin the homeward movement of the volunteers before January 1, In order that all may be mustered' out In the United States by June SO. This necessity is regarded by the mili tary authorities as moBt unfortunute. With only two regiments of infantry and a battery of artillery withdrawn for service In China, the Filipino leaders encouraged their followers to believe that tho United States was abandoning the struggle. It is feared that the with drawal of more than 80,000 men -will lead the Filipinos to believe the abandonment of the islands has begun in earnest. Unless General MacArthur's pending campaign shall be attended by very good results, and unless the effect of the elec tions in the United States shall be all that has been supposed, the country cannot look forward to any Immediate material decrease of expenditures on account ot the military and naval operatlous in the Philippines.
