He will remain In the city for a few days before return ing to WaoMngton to make his report to the war department In discussing the situation In the Philippines he said: 'The Islands cannot be said to be entirely pacified for a certain amount of guerrilla warfare" Is going on. The military forces are not operating to ny great extent Just now as this la ahe rainy season. After the rain are over I expect the soldiers will pene trate to the Interior and bring about peace. I visited forty different poets and found that there Is room for great Improvements. The posts were much better, however, than J ex pected to find them. The signal corps has dime glorious work on the Islands. That branch of the service has lost more men than any other department. I believe ttuit if the strength of the signal corps was doubled down there the work would be quadrupled. The climate of the Islands Is ener vating and the men generally fall oft In weight but It Is amaslng bow they keep up In nerve for all that. Aa for Mie two 'Brigadier-Generals Smith and IMi I have seldom seen officers with affarls better In hand. "Governor Taft has made great ad vance toward placing the Islands on a peaceful and substantial Industrial footing. 'The schools In the Islands are flourishing. The native Filipino thirsts after knowledge and American ideas, ffhe white teachers who have gone to the Philippines are accomp lishing great results but I believe that It would be a great thing if native teachers of the Philippines were sent here to study our form of government.

At the press dinner Prince Henry said: "Before entering into details I should like all of you to understand that I consider this meeting, though H may be looked upon as official, aa a private one, and' that It is my wish that none of you will take advantage of what Is said or spoken after leav ing the table "Undoubtedly the press of our day is a factor, if not a power, which may not be neglected, and which- I should like to compare with ever so many submarine mines which blow up la many cases In a most unexpected man ner; but your own naval history teaches us not to mind mines, should they ever be in our way. "His majesty, the emperor, haa mi nutely' studied the recent and rapid development of the United States, and his majesty is well aware of the fact that yours Is a fast-moving na tion. His sending me to this country may therefore be looked upoa as an act of friendship and courtesy, with the one desire of promoting friendlier relations between Germany and the United Btates.

The body of U & Earl, father of the murdered boy a .was .found is a ditch near his home, ' with the throat cut and the body far gone In putrefaction. There is every evidence that the mur ders were committed as part of a pre arranged plot The home of Ward Earl, three miles from here, was some distance from that of his father. The evidence goes to show, that Ward Earl was first murdered and that his j father was then summoned from his i home and murdered. Mm. Earl left 1 plece of sewing on the machine In her home when she left the house and the three children had scattered the cards with which they were playing about the floor. When the bodies were found they had been piled in a heap with the exception of that of L. Earl, which bad not been carried to the home of his son. The bodies of the boys had been thrown into one room. Ward's at the bottom and upon the heap the body of Mrs, Earl was oast. The only possible motive which can be conceived was robbery. Miss Maud Earl Is In a critical condition. Her mind seems to be affected by the shock to 8tK& an extent thai she can not realise the extent of the tragedy. The reported arrest of the suspected man In Missouri has not been confirm ed yet Tbe funerals of the six vie tlms took place today. GOVERNOR HOGG HONORED.
