WAR METHODS CHANGED.
General MacArthur Instructed to Dis
continue Scattering of Troops.
NEW YORK. Nov. S. Secretary
Root found It necessary some days ago
to Issue special Instructions to Major
General MacArthur, governor-general
of the Philippines, regarding the con
duct of the campaign In Luson. says a
Washington dispatch to the Herald.
These Instructions were due to dis
satisfaction over the successful opera
tions of the Filipinos. General MacAr
thur's policy was to scatter the troops
over a wide range of territory, carrying
out In this way the policy Initiated by
General Otis. Filipinos assembled in
sufficiently large numbers to make vig
orous assaults upon American garri
sons who. In some Instances, suffered
distinct reverses.
The war department Is understood to
have directed General MacArthur to
prevent further successful operations
by collecting his troops In sufficient
force to destroy any bonds with which
they may come In conflict. No Impor
tant Insurgent operations have occurred
for some days and it is believed that
the execution of the department's In
structions is responsible for this.
General MacArthur'a friends say he
Is handicapped by the absence of troops
In China but the 14th Infantry left Ta
ku on Saturday for Manila. Other reg
iments will follow and General MacAr
thur will have about 70.000 men with
whom to Inaugurate a campaign against
the Insurgents.
Adjutant-General Corbin has received
from Judge Taft, president of the Phil
ippine commission, a dispatch forward
ing a message from Senor Buencamlno,
formerly secretary of foreign affairs In
Agulnaldo's cabinet. The message was
telegraphed to the president
It Is understood that Senor Buencam
Ino besides unreservedly accepting the
American sovereignty submits a prop
osition to organise a force of Filipinos
to make war upon the supporters of his
former chief.
PEERS WANT OFFICE.
Many Notable Candidates for the May
oralty of London Boroughs.
NEW TORK, Nov. 6. Among the
candidates for borough mayors of Lon
don are half a dozen peers, says a Tri
bune cablegram.
The Duke of Norfolk and Lord On
slow are rivals for Westminster. Lord
Chelmsford Is named for Kensington,
the Duke of Bedford for Holborn and
Lord Cadogan for Chelsea. Prominent
members of the nobility have been
mayors of provincial cities during the
last fifteen years and the custom of
having titled figureheads In municipal
offices has grown out of the recognition
by the nobility of their public obllga
lions In local government.

can Rice Growers' Distribution Com

WYNDHAM FOR IRELAND.
Will Be Made Chief Secretary But Will
Not Have Cabinet Rank.
NEW YORK. Nov. 6. It Is learned
op the best possible authority by tbe
London correspondent of the Tribune
lhat Mr. Wyndham will be chief sec
iviary for Ireland but will not have
cabinet rank. His friends have count
ed upon hla admission to the cabinet as
a certainty, but they are doomed to
disappointment, lord Cadomn will
not resign the vlcerojalty and the chief
secretary cannot be In the cabinet.
Mr. Wyndham haa Irish blood and.
what la better, knowledge of and sym
pathy with Ireland. Some of Mr.
Wyndham'a shrewdest friends are In
clined to congratulate him upon es
caping from the war office during the
next live years. They do not believe
that the present government will be
thoroughly In earnest In reforming the
military system and are convinced In
advance that half measures will be
sternly disapproved by the country.
CREED TOO STRICT.
Congregational Association of Chicago
Discusses Revision of Us Con
stitution. CHICAGO. Nov. .-The Tribune
says:
A movement to do away with the
creed which all ministers must now
subscribe to before they can become
members of the Congregational As
sociation of Chicago was Insisted upon
last evening at the semi-annual meet
ing of the association In the Leavltt
street Congregational church.
The admission of Artemas J. Haynes,
who asked that he be allowed to sign
the revised creed of Plymouth church,
brought up the question. The minis
ters decided to consider a revision of
their constitution at the next meeting
as a matter of general Interest. Oth. r
ministers are seeking admlMon to the
association who object to the creed.
The revision of the constitution was
referred to a committee of seven. This
committee will frame amendments to
the constitution and bring them before
the association at the annual meeting
next spring.
In addition to the question of crevHl,
the revision of the constitution will in
clude the question of lay membership
in the association. A change In the
rule which admits only pastors oc
cupying pulpits to the association Is
considered. The privilege may be ex
tended to secretaries of societies and
other lay officials or generally to lay
members of the church.
DR. JAMESON IN LONDON.
Speaks nighly of the British Soldier
But Not of the Generals.
NEW TORK. Nov. .-Although the
name of General Smlth-Dorlen,. whose
gallant march to Belfast has Just been
recorded by Lord Roberts, has been sel
dom found In the dispatches. South
Africans consider him one of the best
men In command, says the Tribune's
London correspondent, and even credit
him with military genius. Dr. Jame
son, for example, describes him as a
really great, general who has not
madea single mistake during the cam
paign and has done much brilliant
work.
Two other generals whom Jameson
praises are Ian Hamilton and Hunter,
whom b? knew at Ladysmith. and he
also admires French Intensely. " Dr.
Jameson does not court publicity. He
has recovered from a terrible attack
of fever contracted In the Ladysmith
hospitals but has had a return of old;r
ailments and has come to London to
consult specialists.
Dr. Jameson gives a thrilling account
of the siege of Ladysmith and lacks
words in which to express his admira
tion for the rank and file of the Brit
ish army. His comments on the gen
erals are in a different key. He dow
not believe the guerilla operations will
last long.
CHILEAN NAVY REDUCED.
South American Republics Will Here
after Depend on Arbitration.
NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Valparaiso says:
The significant announcement Is made
in view of the reported agreement of
five South American republics to apply

disputes, that Chile Is about to reduce
her navy.
The government will sell one third
class cruiser to Ecuador and another
to Peru and two torpedo boat destroy
erg to Japan. The fact that one of the
warships will be sold to Peru, which to
one of Chile's opponents In the Tacna-
Arlca dispute, give- additional weight
to the declaration that a settlement
will be effected soon.
PRINCE GEORGE IN ENGLAND.

Visit the Prince of Wales.
NEW YORK, Ncv. C.-The visit to
England of Prince George of Crete Is
attracting much Interest, says the Tri
bune's London correspondent. He comes
from the Danish court to visit the
Prince of Wales and will probably see
the ."luoen.
His appointment as high commission
er has already been attributed to the
Influences of the empress' mother and
the Princess of Wales.

NEW RUSSIAN RATTLESHIVS. '
Russians Are So Well ' Pleastd With
Those Aires, ly Made That They
Order Five More From
America.
NEW YORK, Nov. ,-Ruta Is to
place orders with American shipbuild
ers for five new battleships during the
next year. Secr?cy seems to be the or
dor with those In a position to give In
fommtlon, but the bare fact that In
prosecuting her naval construction pro
gramme Russia will favor America-!
huildera comes from an authtntle
source, according to Joseph Spencer
Kennard, one of the commissioners
from this country to the Paris exposi
tion, who ha arrived here on the
sU-aiushlp Tourrnlne.
Contracts for five battleships will ln
vclve more than tJO.WO.OcO and the fact
that Russia contemplates placing these
orders here Is regarded as a recogni
tion of the merits cf the American
built Varlag which, designed to make
a speed of S3 knots, showed herself ca
pable In her speed trials of maintain
ing a sped of 2.t knots. Now being
pushed to completion by the Cramps,
who built the Vartag, Is the battleship
Retvlsan, the first battleship built her
for a foreign country. She was
launched October II
Peyond the Information that the or
der was to be placed here Mr. Kennard
said that he could say nothing and that
he could not with propriety maki
known the name of his informant
Waldlmlr Teplow, the Rulan corsul
general. also re-turne J on the Tourralne,
after an absence of four months In Rus
sia Hi) left St. Petersburg October 20.
When seen at his home last night Mr.
Teplow said he could not confirm the
report of the prospective placing of or
ders for battleships In this country,
but he said there was such enthulon
In Russia ov-r the Varlag and the Ret
vlxan that It Is likely that the next
warships built for Russia will be laid
In American1 ship yards.
"AH Russians." h sld. "are perfect
ly satisfied with the Varlag and the
RetvUan. They are fine ships. We
think American bull lors are among the
best In the world. Some builders show
a sample ship anJ obtain an order for
on? like It but the finished product
Kkely does correspond with the
sample. But this Is not so with Ameri
can builders. They make us a ship Jut
like the model."

a Washington dispatch to th HonilJ.
has played a sharp IrVk on th IVars

an Indemnity of fNVOOO for the murdrr
vt their brother. Prank ler. In Febru
ary. Several month ago Honduras pro
posed to pay $.'ixh If this sum would b
satisfactory to the United State, but
Secretary Hay decided that It was not
sufficient and reiterated his ileum ml for
the satlsfactl n or the entire claim. Tlw
latest demand win taken under con

Informed by Honduras that the Pear

efforts to obtain Ihe Indemnity and that
they had entorvd Into negotiations with
her for time for a concession, which
she had finally refused to grant.
This action of the Ivor brothers I
deeld.-.liy embarrassing to the state de

the benefit of the Pear brother. It
Is deemed advisable In the Interest of

therefore, that an lber demand will b
