Time has wrought a _change in the position of each, so that Wilson reports to Chaffee and becomes his junior in rank and sta- ton. | The War Department is placing orders for a great quantity of supplies. Con- | tracts have been awarded recently for $2,000,000 worth of stores of all kinds, and s ‘will be asked to-morrow at Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia for $1.000,000 worth of material. is will replenish the diminished stock of the quartermas- ter's supplies and camp equipment. Army quartermasters are bothered about means for heating the tents of the soldiers in China. Cold weather does not occur until November 1 in the section where the operations are likely to be un- dertaken, but the question must be set- tled at once in anticipation of a protracted campaign extending through the winter. guns ordered last week. The batteries of mountain artillery probably will be manned by detachments of men from the regular artillery arm in this country or sent over to China from the Philippines. The belated detail of the staff for Gen- | eral Chaffee has excited a good deal of comment among army officers. That of- ficer left this country and will reach China ready for service in all respects save that he will have no staff. The officers now chosen are not those for whom he asked and no inspector general Is included in the detail, although General Chaffee was anxious that such officer be assigned to duty with him. He probably will select one of the volunteer field officers from C. E.

If an answer is recetved to the second tele- | gram, which has been sent through the | Chinese Minister here to Mr. Conger, and | that answer should bear international | evidence of genuineness, the situation will | be materially improved and the Govern- |ment, with the additional information | that Minister Conger may transmit, will | be able to move intelligently toward the rescue of the beleaguered foreigners. It seems probable from the Brussels dis- | patch that the note of Mr. Hay to the | United States representatives abroad, directing them to urge upon the govern- ments to which they are accredited. the opening of communication with Peking, i3 bearing fruit and the officlals hope that united action by the powers generally on this matter may be taken. oo THAT CONGER IS SAFE DETROIT, July 23.—Baron Paul Merl- ing, German Consul General to Peking. China, and an intimate friend of the late German Minister, Baron von Ketteler, passed_through Detroit to-day en route to New York, whence he will sail Wednes- day for home. Just before leaving Peking he had a long talk with Minister Conger, who, he sald, was very sure that the up- ristng “would not amount to much.” I cannot believe,” said Baron Merling, “that all the foreigners have been massa- cred. I am quite certain that the cipher message received by your Government from Peking is genuine and was written by Minister Conger. I have several rea- sons for believing so, but I cannot give my reasons, for my Government would not like to have me talk too much. » “You can believe one thing that is as certain as the rising of the sun: The arm- les of Europe will devastats Northern hina.

Dulce comes | from Colombia, South America, but he goes wherever T go, in winter in a fur- Hnn(l basket and in summer on my shoul- er. Dulce is a gentleman of the old school, fastidious, alert and valiant.

No silk was ever softer than his fur, through the gray of which I caught shades of orange and black. His eyes were sparks of electric light, struck from | the white tufts of hair on each side of the face that scrutinized me so critically. 1 went close to his cage. and, to my joy, instead of shrinking from me in agitated aversion, as all the others had done, he came to meet me. I opened the door, | and before I knew it he was on my shoul- der and, with one of his white rosettes pressed against my cheek, singing the tenderest and sweetest little song, which told me that I was his and he was mine. I took him home, and because he was S0 sweet in disposition I called him Dulce. Before Dulce came I had seen many of his kind die agonizing and, T know now, unnecessary deaths, not from climate, but | from bread and milk. But Dulce came to teach me how to keep his race in health, beauty and happiness. His first object lesson ‘was to pounce ‘upon a box where 1 kept weevils or mealworms for my mocking bird and make away with a | dozen or more at a sitting. In this way he told me that the marmoset is insectiv- orous. Mealworms may be had all win- ter from bird dealers. as well as live | bait from the fish market; but when sum- mer comes Dulee and I go on grasshop- per hunts, and such sport as we have chasing them about in the warm grass and ferreting under stones in cool places for crickets!

Alejandrino, con- taining an alleged account of an interview | board the Olympia, April, 188, in which it is stated Admiral Dewey promised in- dependence to the Filipinos, was shown to | the admiral to-day by an Assoclated Press | reporter. The admiral characterized it a “tissue of falsehoods.” He declared it ab- surd on its face. “I not only had no power to promise independence to the | Filipin aid he, “but the whole tenor of the wor: put in my mouth stamps them as false. 1 am made to say things which 1 never thought of, and which I could | never have uttered.

The admiral said he had never heard of Several Filipinos after much importuning, came aboard the Olympia at Hongkong. They were anxious to be taken to Manila. “‘I considered their representations of little importance,” said the admiral, “‘and did not take them to Manila. Later I gave permission to Aguinaldo and about a dozen others to come to Manila. All | that they were anxious about at that time was an end of the tyranny of Spain, against which they were fighting. After the destruction of Montejo's fleet the city virtually surrendered, and I am satisfied time we could have gone ashore and been received by the Filipinos as deliverers. They had absolutely no thought then of independence. That was an after-thought of their leaders during the interim be- tween the smashing of the Spanish fieet and the arrival of the United States troops. Speaking of the report that Cuba was to be evacuated by the American troops after the holding of the constitutional convention, Admiral Dewey saild he did not see how the United States could turn over the island to the Cubans until a stable government had been established. “We are responsible to the world fol the orderly conduct of affairs in Cuba,” said he, “and until such a government is established I cannot see how we can with- draw.
