GENERAL MILES MUST GO.
Will be Ported by Secretary Root to Retire
at an Early Day.
Washington, April 16. The issues
are fairly joined between the lieuten
ant general and the secretary of war.
The troubles which began long ago un
der the Cleveland administration have
finally reached so critical a stage that
compulsory retirement of General
Miles at an early date is an open secret,
and is not denied at the White House.
In explanation of President Roose
velt's position, one of his close friends,
who unquestionably speaks by author
ity, sai J:
"The question is not a "personal one
between General Miles and Secretary
Root. At present Secretary Root has
on his shouldroa a heavier burden than
any other member of the administra
tion. No man less strong could carry
it all ; and now, at the very time when
he requires the most loyal support of
every subordinate who wishes well to
the armv and the nation, he ha
t0 1
spend much of bis strength in meeting
the opposition of the Jcommanding gen
It
eral. il uenerai wnes is reurea, u
will be simply because, after a patient
trial, President Roosevelt feels that on
the highest ethical grounds his reten- j
tion would work grave and lasting in-
jury to the army as a whole.
"As some of General Miles' friends
have said that it would be unfair to per pound for oinor varieties,
retire him, it should be said, in the I T))e Q UmXwT Company has
first place, that he secured his promo- p,,rcnagej the entire plant and hold
tion to a brigadier generalship only , of t)e Beavef Flume Lumber Com.
through the similar forced retirement , , Tha flnmn
of General Ord. he himself being jump-
ed over by a number of his seni r ofn-!
cera in tne vacancy inuscreateu ; anu, in
the second place, that the only action
of the kind taken by President Roose
velt since he has been in office was in
the case of Colonel Noyes, who was
compulsorily retired after reaching the
age of 62, on the recommendation of
General Miles. In other words, the
general has himself recommended and
profited by the very action wincii ms
ft iends now fear may be taken at his
expense.
"If he should eo out betore general
Brooke is retired, General Brooke, who
is General Miles' senior, both in serv
ice and in age, and who did gallant and
distinguished work as a volunteer in
the Civil war, would undoubtedly be
put in his place as lieutenant geucral,
as it is known that the administration
has been very desirous of recognizing
General Brooke's long and faithful
service."

FIREBUG.
Scventeca Incendiary Fjrcs were Started Dur
ing One Night
Chicago, April 15. After extinguish
ing 10 fires yesterday, moet of them
close together, and apparently of in
cendiary origin, the firemen of South
Chicago at daybreak today were called
upon to contend with the most serious
of the long string of blazes.
The first of this morning's fires con
sumed a barn containing several horees.
St. Patrick's church came next, and
was destroyed before the firemen could
reach it. Scarcely had they reached
the church when they were recalled to
fight a dangerous looking fire at Vil
lard Sons bell forge works. Aftei a
hard fight here the flames were checked.
Meanwhile the warehouse of the Wash
ington loo Company had caught fire,
and before the flamei were subdued
(5,000 damage bhad been done. The
Calumet theater came next, sustaining
Will OHO iluronirA lifurA tha flrA vm ST.
tiDguished. A four story structure,
having a feed store on the ground floor,
and dwellings above, was discovered to
be burning before the theater fire was
put out. Two families escaped in
their night clothes. The building was
destroyed. Meanwhile a saloon had
burned down.
The total loss of this morning's fires
is put at $50,000. As the buildings
were not near each other, the firemen
declare that the fires were the work of
an incendiary. The people of South
Chicago were greatly alarmed by the
rapid work of the firebug.
The financial loss in the fires yester
day amounted to $60,000. Evidence
of incendiarism was so convincing,
however, that citizens joined the police
in patrolling the streets in an effort to
guard property and capture the incen
diary or incendiaries. In spite of the
extra precautions, however, today's
fires were . started. Citizens were tie
wildered at the attack, and daylight
was welcomed with great relief.
MEAT FAMINE IN ENGLAND.
Retailers Determined that Consumers Shall be
Made to Suffer.
London,' April 15. The so-called
meat famine, which has been exploited
throughout the British press, has be
come a matter of keen interest to Lon
doners, who hitherto have not been
affected by the prevailing scarcity. A
careful canvass of London shows that
the retailers at the present time are the
sole sufferers by the advance in the
wholesale price, which amounts to a
penny per pound on all grades of meat.
Since January, the majority of the re
tailers have been running their busi
ness without profit, because lack of or
ganization prevented a uniform in
crease of prices. A meeting, however,
has been called, which undoubtedly
will result in a uniform increase in the
price of moat on the part of retailers
throughout London.
OFFICE FOR THE PRESIDENT.
New Seven Milllon-Dollar Building Planned
for Washington.
Washington, Apiil 15. Senator ,
SOUTH CHICAGO
Fairbanks, chairman of the senate com-1 mcnt to the house bill, for surveys and
mittee on buildings, has reported favcr- ( estimates as fo'lows: Cape Lookout,
ably a bill providing for a building for , with a view of establishing a break
the executive, the department of state water; Yamhill river, with a view to
and the department of justice. Senator prolonging the period of navigation;
Fairbanks consulted President Roose- Yaquina river, from its mouth to Elk
velt before the report was made, and
found him agreeable to having the ex
ecutive offices in the new building.
The proposed building is to be erected
north of the present state, war and
navy building. It is estimated that
the new building and site will cost
$7,000,000. Senator Fairbanks sub
mitted an elaborate report upon the
bill, showing the necessity of relieving
the White House of the executive offices
and the need of more room for the
other departments. The building is to
be constructed under the direction of
the secretary of state' and attorney gen
eral, with the approval of the presi
dent. Helen Gould's Gift to be Dedicated.
New York,- April 15. The now
$100,000 building for the naval branch
of the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion, near the Brooklyn navy yard,
built with funds contributed by Miss
Helen Gould, is so nearly completed
that it is expected the work of the
branch can be transferred to it within
two weeks. The formal dedication will
take place on May 15. Secretary Long
will make an address. The building
has five stories, a basement and a roof
garden, and Is it, the architectural style
of the French renaissance.
Revolt In the Congo.
Faris, April 15. The minister of the
colonies has ordered that reinforce
ments be sent to the scene of the
troubles in the French Congo, as the
result of the dispatches he received
yesterday confirming the report of a
revolt of natives in the Sangha district.
The Paris manager of the Sangha Com
pany attributes the outbreak to the fact
that the fanaticism of the natives has
been aroused by human sacrifices which
were celebrated recently. He adds
that the natives are well armed w ith
modern rifles.
Brigands Exterminated.
Constantinople, April 15. A band
of seven Bulgarian brigands has been
exterminated in the Vilayet of Mon
astir, in Macedonia, by Turkish troops.
The brigands captured the tower of the
village of Kadi Koi and then fortified
themselves. The troops surrounded
the place and demanded the surrender
of the brigands, who replied with a
ftisillade, which was returned by the
Turks until all the occupants of the
tower were aeaa.

cisco, April 16. The Honolulu chamber
of commerce and Merchants' Associa
tion have each held meetings to discuss
the Tacific cable proposition and the
matter of securing federal aid io pay
ing the heavy Chinatown fire claims,

The associations decided to send a dele
gate to Washington to present their
views, and have decided upon J. G
Pratt, a member of the court of China
town fire commissioners, who will leave

greatly interests all here, and

MISTAKES IN LUZON.
Harsh Treatment of Natives in Some Provinces
(las Bad Effect " "
Washington, April 12. When the
senate committee on Philippines met
today Senator Lodge, the chairman,
aid before the committee the report of
Major Cornelius Gardener, civil gov
ernor of the Philippine province of
Tayabas, to which reference was made
by General Miles in his correspondence
with Secretary Root. This repoit ad
been withheld, and this caused the
adoption of a resolution at the last
meeting of the committee requesting
the secretary of war to send the report
to the committee. The report is dated
December 16, 1901, and is largely a re
view of conditions in the province. In
the course of the report the eovernor
says:
"A vigorous campaign was at once
organized against insurgents lu arms,
with the troopa acting under positive
orders to shoot no unarmed nativel and
to burn no houses except barracks.
Looting was prohibited under the strict
est penalties. Comoanv and other
commanders were ordered to pay for
everything taken for necessity or bought
trom natives."
The governor in detail tells about
what has been done, and then recom
mendi that the operations against the
nsurgents should be by a force of na
tives. He has traveled all over the
province, with no other escjrt than na
tives. In another recommendation, he
savs:
'As civil governor, I feel it my dnty
to say that it is my firm conviction
that the United States troops should at
the earliet opportunity be concentrated
in one or two garrisons, if it is thought
desirable that the good sentiment and
loyalty that formerly existed towards
the United States among the people of
this province should be conserved and
enconraged. Heing in close touch with
the people, having visited all the
pueblos one or more times, having lived
with them in their homes, I know that
such sentiment once existed.
'Of late, by reason of the conduct of
the troops, such as the extensive burn
ing of the barrios in trying to lay waste
the country so that the insurgents can
not occupy it, the torturing of natives
by the so-called water cure, and other
methods, in order to obtain informa
tion, the harsh treatment of the natives
generally, and the failure of inexperi
enced, lately appointed lieutenants
commanding posts to distinguish be
tween those who are friendly and those
unfriendly and to treat every native as
if lie were, whether or no, an insurgent
at heart, this favorable sentiment above
referred to is being fast destroyed and
a deep hatred towards us engendered.
If these things need be done, they had
best be done by native' troops, so that
the people of the United States will not
he credited therewith"

LARGE REVOLUTIONARY MOVE
. MENT IN BELGIUM.
Polict Are Forced to Retreat by Rioters Un
til a Squadron of Lancers Reinforced and
Charged the Mob Many Were Injured
In the Numerous Clashes That Took
Place General Strike Threitened Soon.
Brussels, April 14. Sharp fighting
between strikers and gendarmes oc
curred this morning at Bracqegnies,
near Charlerol. Several thousand
strikers attacked and stoned a body of
gendarmes, who retaliated by firing
their revolvers. A sharp fusillade fol
lowed, and the gendarmes were com
pelled to retreat. A squadron of
lancers, however, galloped up and dis
persed the mob.
A semblance of order was restored
among the rioters in the Rue Stevens
early this morning. The police, who
had borne the brunt of the fiirhtinu.
were strongly reinforced by the uend-
armes and civil guards with loaded
rifles. Orders were issued to use all
force necessary to drive the mob out of
the Maison du Peuple. Just as the or-
dor was about to be executed the chiefs
of the Socialists offered to evacuate the
building quietly.
Estimates of the number wounded
during the riots vary from 40 to 100.
but scores of injured were carried off
and hidden by friends. A large num
ber of rioters were arrested, and are
detained. The burgomasters of Brus
sels and suDiirban municipalities have
proclaimed that meetings of more than
10 persons are prohibited, and that
persons carrying revolvers shall be
liable to six months' imprisonment.
All centers of agitation are bristline
with bayonets. Squads of cavalry are
continually patrolling the streets and
guarding the shops, which were threat
ened with plundeiing by the rioters.
A manifesto, signed ay the general
council of the labor party, has been
idely posted. It demands a revision
of the constitution and universal suff
rage.

Domestic Rates Will be Continued Until Con
clusion of a Treaty.
-Washington, April 12. President
elect Thomas Estrada Palma. of Cuba.
accompanied by Gonzales de Quesada,
had a conference today with Postmaster
General Payne and other postal offi
cials. As a result the nostal relation
between this government and Cuba, in
cluding the domestic rates of postage
and money orders, w ill be continued by
joint action of both governments until
a postal treaty shall be concluded be
tween the two governments. A postal
convention, probably practically iden
tical with those now in force between
this government and Cunada and Mex
ico, will be arranged about August 1.
Postmaster General Payne informed Mr.
Palma that domestic rates of postage
and other postal concessions would be
granted to Cuba when the time come to

to any country except those which have
similar arrangements with this govern
ment. This has special reference to
Canada and Mexico. President Palma
announced his satisfaction with this
condition.
LIMITING THE ARMAMENT.
England Brings Pressure to Bear
on Argen-
tin and Chile.
Buenos Ayres, April 14. The Past
says that when it was learned in Lon
don that Argentina and Chile were pur
chasing additional warships the Enlgish
houses and companies having capital
invested in South America became
alarmed and delegated Lord Rothschild
and Lord Revelstoke to call on Lord
Lansdowne, the foreign secretary, and
ask him to interfere with President
Roca, of Argentina, and President
Riesco, of Chile, who subsequently re
plied that they would willingly accept
Lord Lang lowno's good offices in order
to avoid further strain on account of the
state of "armed peace" prevailing.
It is understood that the outcome
ill be an arrangement which will pro
vide for limiting the armaments of Ar
gentina and Chile, canceling the orders
for the last warships ordered by those
countries and indemnifying the ship
builders for any loss which they may
thereby sustain.
