PREMIER AND RULER SCARCELY SPEAK ©xclusive Set Objects to the Demo- erdtic Propensities of the Eng- Ruler and Much Gos-~ LONDON, May 81,—~Those in touch with royal circles are buey gossiping about the reported tiff between Lord Salisbry L] Kiog Bdward, which Is said to have arisen on account of the king's demand that the premier recommend Sir Ernest Cassel for & peeérage. Last year the same request met ‘with a refusal. This year It was again urged by the king on the ground of Sir Ernest's munificent gitt of *£200,000 to- ward the cure of ‘consumption. ‘The premier absolutely refused to coun- tenance the suggestion, and at the end of a stormy interview which occurred the day the state dinner was held at Buckingham palace Lord Salisbury re ked: “Well, sir, 1 suppose I had better leave my place at tonight's banquet vacant?" to! which the king 1s sald to have replied: “Yes, I think you had,” and stalked out of the room. Since then, according to court gossip, King Edward and his aged prime minister have -urca)y hoen on speaking terms. Another inctdent which is causl con- slderable commiotion fn royal circles is the disagreemeént between King Edward and the duchess of Buccleuch, a-member of the old-style, exclusive aristocracy, who -has Dot countenanced the so-called ‘“smart The king was to dine with the duke. afid- duchess of Buccléuch and in- timated his- desire that a lady of his sur- rounding be invited. .

WASHINGTON, May 31.—Felipe eamino, Buen- former secretary of state In the the first time since his arrival by the house committee on insular affairs. Senor Buencamino sald he was here rep- resenting tho federal party and the influ- ential element of the insurgents and the Katipunan soclety. He sald his country, the Philippines, was like a sick man convalescing from & dan- gerous i{liness. It was still bleeding from the wounds of war. Its aspirations were those of Washington—Iliberty with justice under American soverelgnty, which they loved. They looked to congress to give them a just and liberal government. He detailed the facts connected with the early uprising of the Filipinos. Aguinaldo was an idol and the people believed him when he told them that Dewey had promised them Independence. He reviewed all that had been done since the outbreak and spoke of the gradual ex- tension of American authority and prac- tical pacification of the greater part of the islands. There were now 800 municipalities es- tablished and they had proved satisfac- tory. Under the Taft system he sald the Filipinos have greater liberty than they would have enjoyed under the Aguinaldo government had it been established. Gov- ernor Taft was now the idol of the people. Want to Know What They Are. ““We would like to know what we are,” he sald with emphasis. “Are we Amer- icans or are we Filipinos This is the ques. tlon Improssed upon me by the federal party and by the Filipino people.” He approved the plan of a legislative as- sembly of the Filipino people. “But,” sald he, “do not call it a Filipino assembly; let the members meet as Amer- fcans and let the assembly be American.” “It we are to be American citizens,” he t will be a great achievement. Our desire is to secure a just and liberal government. It congress does not grant citizenship it has that right, but It would be responsible for the future, for we have submitted unconditionally to the will of con- sress.” Representative Jones of Virginia called attention to the fact that Sixto Lopez dif- fered with Buencamino and sald the minority wanted to have Lopez summoned. Several republicans protested because Lopez had not been in the Philippines in recent years. There w some discussion between the members of the committee of a warm char- acter. “I did not think it would so offend the minority to have this witness exonerate American troops,” said Chairman Cooper. “I resent that insinuation,” said Mr. Wil- llame of Mississippi. “And his remark with fact: essee. is not in accordance ald Mr. Patterson of Tenn- Good School System. Senor Buencamino spoke of *he many schools and the improved educational meth- ods, the Filipino families no longer find- ing 1t necessary to send their children to Manlla, as the local schools were ample. Instead of 1,200 American teachers, he said, there should be 6,000 and the salaries should be doubled In order to secure the best ma- terial. Speaking of education, he sald the hostility of the friars to the American gove ernment was evident. He stated that §5 per cent of the people are llliterate and cannot read or write. “Are the people capable at this time of independent government? ““It would not be advisable,”” he sald, turn- ing to the map of the archipelago. Russla was near at hand, at Port Arthur; Japan Wwas also near; Australia and other British po! ons were nearby. Besides he sald Great Britaln and Germany had on file at the American State department large claims for damages, growing out of the bombard- ment of Illoilo. ‘“‘Suppose the United States abandons us,” he sald, “‘then all those clalms will be pre- sented inst the Philippines, backed up by squadrons.’ Doubts Nebraska Boy. Mr. Jones of Virginia questioned the wit- ness at length as to the responsibility for the original outbreak. Preparations for war were begun by Aguinaldo as early as Octo- ber, 1898, the witness sald. He gave the conflicting claims as to who fired the first shot and expressed doubt as to the claim of a Nebraska soldier that he had fired the first shot. Asked If the Filipinos, after three or four years of American tutelage, could stand alone, Senor Buencamino said they would be able by that time to determine whether they wanted annexation to the United States or independence. The federal party to which he belonged, opposed the holding of the Philippines as an American colony. About 15 per cent of the people, he sald, favored a colonlal government. He sald American troops could be with- drawn ultimately, except from the Moro country, where they would have to remain for a long time. Mr. Patterson brought out that Buen- camino had served as private secretary to General MacArthur, but he denled hav- ing betrayed Philippine secrets to that officer. At another point the witness sald the Filipinos wanted the ‘“comstitution to fol- Ilow the flag.” They also wanted liberty | with justice and belleved the American | system gave this bleesing. | “Would the Filipinos take independence | after elght years of tutelage by the United States?’ asked Mr. Patterson, referring to the plan of the minority. “If the congress so determined that re- sult would be accepted,” answered the wit- nees, “‘but congress would become respon- sible if the Philippines were devoured by other nations and the Filipincs would be left to damn the congress for bringing about | such a result.” He contended that annexation was the solution satisfactory te the people. The witness sald the Moros would fight to the death to retain their slaves. REDUCTION IN THE ARMY General Order Decreasing Strength to 66,497, Issued by Secre- tary Root. WASHINGTON, May 81.—By direction of the president, Secretary Root has issued ol general order decreasiug the strength of our permanent military establishment and changing the ratio of its makeup as pro- vided in the general order issued last May to carry out the army reorganization law. Under the eral order of last May the total strength of the army was fixed at * Goodnow. 31, Eove . m s decoration o I general llnl n services lbces of China 7,287 men. The order issued today re- duces this figure to 66,497—s reduction of 10,790, cavalry branch of the service the T specified twi troops of eighty- each to & regimeut; the mew or- cabinet of Aguinaldo, was heard today for | der establishes five men eagh. This will decrease the total strength of the- fifteen cavalry- regiments from 15,840 to 14,040. In the artillery branch the coast con- tingent will be kept at its former strength of 126 companies of 109 enlisted men each, or a total of 13,734, but the fleld artillery will be reduced from thirty batteries of 160 men each to twenty-elght batteries (twenty-five light and three mounted) of 120 men each. Provision is made in the new order for two slege batteries, each with a strength of 160 men, which, in addition to the light and mounted batteries, will give the ar- tillery corps a total enlisted strength of 17,742, as against the 18,862 men provided in the former order. The new order re. duces the number of men in infantry com. panies from 104 to elghty, and our thirty | regiments of twelve companfes each will now give a total infantry force of 29,880, instead of 38,520. The strength of the en gineer branch remains as formerly, as does also the strength of the staff department. It will be the plan of the War depart- ment hereafter to divide the army, as pro. vided in the order issued today, into thirds, having one-third of the entire establish- ment {n the Philippines at all times and the remalning two-thirds in the United States and elsewhere. By this plan an enlisted man, taking six years as & basis, would serve four years in the United States proper, or in Hawall or in Alaska, to every two years served in the Philippines.

By a complete change in breakfast, at this time of the year, ome can put the body right to go through the summer com- fortably. Leave off meat, potatoes and heavy body heating foods, and use the food that will nourish the body and give reserve force to the brain and nervous system.

WARM FIGHT Most Exciting State is Promised - at Tomorrow, FOR OREGON lection in Y Polls PORTLAND, Ore., May 31.—The biennial electton in Oregon, which will occur Mon- day, promises to be the most exciting in the history of the state. The democrats have made their campaign almost entirely on state i , while the republicans have lald great stress on natlonal expansion and the retention of the island possessiona. The factional fight among the republicans of Multonomah county, & republican strong. hold, will undoubtedly greatly reduce the republican majority in the state, if, indeed, it does not wipe it out entirely as far as the head of the ticket is concerned. The democrats have little hope of elect. ing thelr -ticket, with the exception of George E. Chamberlain for governor. The ropublicans, however, say that reports of disaffection in the, party are exaggerated and that there is no doubt of the election of W. J. Furnish for governor.
