Declares That the Filipinos Are the Best of the Asiatic Races, Es pecially Anxious and Quick to Learn. WASHINGTON, June 1!.-During General Otis' af tern son at the war de partment, In conference with the heads of the various departments In regard to the condition and needs of their de partments in the Philippines, he had many questions to answer in his In tercourse with his friends, respecting prexent and future conditions In the Philippines, and of. these he talked , quite treely. He made one statement In particular which came as a distinct surprise, In view of the facfthat he has spent a year and a half In'nghting the Filipinos, for he declared that these same Filipinos were without question the very best of any of the Asiatic races living: on the Pacific coast and Islands. He paid a high tribute to their acquisitiveness, saying that young and old were alike anxious to learn from the Americans and quick to do so If given an opportunity. The demand for schools on the Anier can plan was Insatiable. It had not been possible to secure a sufficient sup ply of Spanish-American text books. the market having been denuded of such. When the book-hungry Filipinos were told this, they begged for Amer can school books, and declared that their children could learn from them even without the Spanish text and translations. General Otis found to his astonishment that such was the case, and says that in the course of a very few months the Filipino child ren pick up a fair knowledge of Eng lish. Even the old natives con the text books In the effort to fix English phrases in their minds- There was a dearth . of teachers, too. General Otis often had recourse to the soldiers in his ranks who know a little Spanish and so were suitable for. detail as teachers. General Otis said he looked upon this educational movement as the only solu tion of the Philippine problem, and was confident that the spread oi Amer ican Ideas through the Filipino schools would in the end make good citizens i of the Filipinos. General Otis was positively of the opinion that the American forces In the Philippines at present were suffi cient for all needs. Of course, he said. General MacArthur's present " army could not furnish a guard to protect every Filipino household in the La drones; to do that would require a force of no less than 200,000 troops, and even then the task would occupy years. As a matter of fact, he said, Spain had spent several centuries In the effort to stamp out the Lad rones in the Philippine group, -and there was reason to believe that those brigands are scarcely more numerous now than they were during the Spanish occupa tion, when the islands were nominal ly at peace with Spain. General Otis was confident, however, that conditions would steadily Improve and that little by little these robber bands would be driven away. Mean while, he admitted that It was often dangerous for Filipinos of the better class, whose Interests naturally lay In American sovereignty, Jto admit their preferences, for they were subject in that case to assassination, to the loss of property and to persecution, insti gated by various elements in the pop ulation to whom American occupation was obnoxious. NEW WARSHIPS, Eleven Armored Ships, Three Cruisers and Five Submarine Boats to Be Built. NEW YORK, June 12. A special to the Tribune from Washington says: The navy is to build warships ag gregating over 1100,000,000 in cost as soon as ihe builders are prepared to undertake this great programme which calls for eleven-armored ships, practi cally doubling the present American sea i - ill .1. .... nnA f,-. tVtfaa tllfrh- f JHV Cr III HUB UOSBi wm-- .Q ly improved Olympic type of cruisers. Th; five battleships, for ' whose hulls and machinery congress has appropri ated $1,000,000, are ready for the builders to bid upon tomorrow. Plans for the fix preat armored cruisers, more pow erful than any ship at present in the service, and to cost for. hulls and ma chinery alone over $25,000,000, are well advanced and should "be" finally ap proved next month. The general fea tures of the enlarged Olympic type were determined last fall before con RTfisa appropriated $2,800,000 for thejiull. and "machinery of ' each of them, and thee Is no reason why their keels Xh.iuM not be laid this summer. The navy department Is also prepar ing (ilt. .-.ifl. htl'Hirt and advertise ments Ur 33,000 tons of - the highest on the Lowr Columbia. quality of Krupplied armor, which is expected to cost between $17,000,000 and $13,000,000. The complete construction program authorizes contracts for hulls and machinery alone amounting to Sr.l.OOO.OUi). which Includes five battle ships at S3.S60.00O each, six cruisers at $4,260,000 each, and three improved Olymplas at S2.SO0.000 each. The battleships known as the Penn sylvanla clan are to be nearly 16.000 tons displacement, or over 5000 tons heavier than the Oregon, mow than 100 feet longer, and with at least three knots higher speed. The six cruisers of the California clas of 14,000 tons, 23 knots speed and 1$ knots steaming radius, will be unmatched in the world. They will be 5000 tons larger than the Erooklyn, and at least three times as powerful for fighting uses. All these vessels will be armir-eoated from the extreme bow to the stern, and will be the most formidable ships yet laid down in any dockyard. The three pro tected cruisers of about 10,000 tons dis placement will be just about twice the Olympla's site, but will preserve the I excellent characteristics of that vessel. which have proved her to be about the most useful type of cruiser now in the service. These three new vessels, which are to be named for cities, will have coal capacity for steaming three time across the Atlantic, and their maintained speed will be 23 knots. The secretary of the navy has also been directed by the last naval approprla tion act to contract for Ave Holland submarine boats to cost $175,000 each and to be built within a year.

I-llllan RuhscII Indignantly denies that she Is eng.uted to William C. Whitney. Mlxs Rusxell's denial was the first news of the matter that got Into gen eral circulation. A New York man with nn Incoms of I'AOOO a year has committed suicide. He was probably despondent because of the por prospect of muklng It $75, 000. and thus getting Int.) a ponltl n where the strain of living would be eased smwhat. It has Juiit been discovered that Cae far and I'onKy fought nlxty miles from their celebrated bjittle. ground. This shows that I'cmpey rail faster and farther thnn has hitherto been sup posed, and we tnke pleasure In cor recting the mistake.

Mr. Harrlman of California has been nominated for president by the Socialist-Labor party nnd for vice-president by the Social -Democratic party. There Is no Immediate danger, however, that this will lead to awkward complica tions.
