The city council of IVnce w as originally
appointed by the military authorities.
Its members havo persistently endeav
ored to obtain the powers which it was
proposed tograut uuder tho aulouomist
regime, Such bodies huvo always been
very active iu I'otto Kico, and huvo nt
tenitcd to control municipal affairs.
When iieueral Brooke appointed a
mayor at l'oiicc, iguoiing the choice of
the city council, (several members of the
council resigued, declarihg his act uu
couulilutioual, despite tho fuel that the
law eaye until geueral elections have
beeu held, may ore and couuciluion are
to bo appointed by the ruling authority,
who in this caso islieuerul Brooke.
The I'ouco couucilmon raised the ijuej-
tion at heudiuarteis, ausertiug their ul
logod prerogative and declaring that they
had been given lo understand by (ion
oral Henry and Wilson that these privi
leges of cjiietiluliuunl autonomy would
be afforded aud guaranteed. When (en
erul Brooke met their claim with a neg
ative, they declared Ibut benor Muucz,

OUTLINE Of THE I'OLICV

New Posesslons.
STRONG MILITARY GOVLRNMLNT
Unless Congress Should Decide Oth
erwise at the Coming
Session.
Ciin aiio, Nov. b A tHM'ifll lo the
TlinH-llflrnlil front Washington say:
('resident Mi Kinley hsa deyi lopd Ms
lllcy lowar l 1'orto Itlco and tho I'hilii-
plum. Thero has been much specula
lion km to the form of government to
bo iclvnn these islands, and the president
hr.e been itudying the problem with
great earneslness. He has decided (o
savo tho coanlry from the blunders of
hasty action, and will delay the final d
cluion f ir u year. This statement is on
the authority of one of the president's
uioHt intimate advisers, who gives the
follow ing outline of his progriftnme :
rirst ihere will be no extra session
of congress uoxt spring, barring grave
etncrgoucioi.
Second The conijuorod island will be
ContKiiied under a strong military gov
eromeut. .
Third All fiduciary positions will be
a lrnh.i-'cred by army oflicors.
Kourtli the llao(l.i will lie kept out
of politic a inttch as oxsible, until the
Aim.ri"i.u people have had an oportun-
ity i o 3:11 )y them and the oulionul Ninti
men: can ciystallize aa to tho relation
bey hhoiild tiold to the United States.
Fifih The island will probably re
tain their present currency systems bat
tho may bo bolstered by decrees w hich
will Insure stability.
Sixth Beii'g in effect militsry colonic
the romp red idand will have tariffs
of '.lo .r owo, which will be levied ou im-
Kirls from tho Coiled States as well as
thoeu from o:hcr countries.
Sevenfi The United Htateit will col-
ect dutii-s on iiuportit from the it-Uuds
the same aa though tbey fetiil l elongeil
o u foreurn soyereig'ity.
The 1 rccidcnl'a proraiiiiim in said to
o IumxI on I he ground tisul the Aoieri-
1111 pt'.'plu are not euflicicniiy informed
alxjut l'orto Kico and llm I'hilii pines to
decide cfl-hmnl whet bur they should be
a' e l us U-rr.l nics or as colonies Borne-
wlmt after the British tytem. Many
Atuericaus believe the natives of the
complied itilnnds are not suited lo be
ikeu into (till membership iu Uucle
Saiu'd (a'liily. The president has held
Hint pnsiiiun ul least toward the Filipinos
ml hie reluctance to take all the l'hilip-
piucs wm lia-mil 011 the various singes of
civilization of their inhabitants. 1
rho pereidont himtelf is at a la to
ay what form of government should be
provided for the newly acquired islands.
The babiln of centuries of foimation are
not t be uji ooled by a mere act of con
gress, and civilization dors not neccssaii-
ly follow from (he una ot Iho ballot box.
The goviruiueutof tho islands presents
a tremeudous problem and the president
w ishes to attack itstolu'.ion intelligently.
He wantj lime for himself and he wants
time for the Auicricau people.
Tho president's program is bused on
tho theory Ibut the coming session of
cngrcta will be loo short and busy to
permit legislation for a comprehensive
system of government for the couriered
island. Tho appropriation bills and
other important, measures will absorb
uioHt of tho time of tho outgoing congress
aud the constructive work for tho Dew
poscbaious will go over to the uext con
gress. Thero is a movement to have the
present congress appoint commissions
like that which hss visited Hawaii.
Their mission would be to vieit l'oito
Kico and the l'hilippines, study the
people and their needs, familiarize
thcmcelves with the special conditions
that must be considered, and t-n their
return recommend to congress forms of
government for those islands. The pres
ident wants more light and commissions
such sb that which visited Hawaii will
give au intelligent basis for legislation
for Tot to Kico, and especially for the
Philippines.
I'retidout McKiuley has already estab
lished military government in l'orto
Kico uud putts of Cuba and the l'hili
piiies, by virtue of his authority as commander-in-chief
of the army and navy.
It is by that authority that ho will con
tinue in coutrol uulil cougiose takes the
responsibilities til governmeut from bis
bauds. II cougress fails to take the
ueccssary action at the coming abort ses
sion, the president cau continue bis
military management until December of
next year. A military government baa
the advantage of being flexible aud
tiuickly adaptable to special needs.
If a change is needed in the laws of
l'orto Kico, iu Iho opinion of tho Ameri
can ollicers ou the ground the
president cau order It ou a moment's
notice. With army otlicore scattered
over the inland all earnestly studying the
ueeds of the situation aud reporting to
the prebident, ho cau make such adapta
tion from day to day as may teem de
sirable, uud when congress takes up the
problem u year hence, it will Hod the
groundwork for a goyeruiueut well laid.
The l'orto Kicans will be giveu a civil
governmeut uuder the geueral super
vision of the military ower, aud it will
be the aiu of the president gradually to
shade that governmeut to the system of
the United States.
Some bOtH) acres of Eastern Oregon

Wasiiikoton, Nov. 10. There has
been remarkable activity at-ont the war
department, for a7ra I dys In tbe way
of preparing Ihe troupe for set vice in
lands beyond the United Htalee. Ao or
der lias been Usued, directing at least 10
regiment of the regular army now
stationed in northwestern forts and
po!a, to bold themselves In readine
for immediate transportation and set y ice
In tropical climates. It (a believed that
an early movement to Cuba is iotended.
Another belief entertained is that the
Uni'ed States government desiree to be
in readiness to resume hostilities, if
Spain refuses to accept tbe decision of
tbe American peace com miss ion.
In this connection a report baa got
about that during tbe delay which baa
occurred, Spain baa been able to form
some sort of coalition with the European
powers to back op tbe preteosiooa she
has been making in tbe negotiations
Aa interesting feature of tbe matter is
the refusal of the authorities to order tbe
muster out of the volunteers wbo receot
ly returned from l'orto Rico.

Tbe Spaniards in tbeir communica
tion today reaffirmed the position which
thoy assumed against tbe discussion

They insist that tbe words "shall deter
mine the control, disposition and gov
ernment of tbe Philippines" iu article 3

Philippines, except on her own terms,
and therefore the Spaniards propose
