W., WASHINGTON, March 24—While Major General MacArthur is meting out heavy sentences to Fillpinos caught gathering information within the American ranks, the United States Gov- ernment is employing spies to obtain in- formation relative to the plans of the in- | surgents. s Formal recognition of the employment of spies by the United States is made in the last army appropriation law. An ap- propriation of $2,400,000 is authorized for incidental expenses, among which are | “hire of laborers in the Quartermaster's | Department, including the hire of inter- preters, spies or guides for the army.” This provision has created much com- ment among military attaches of foreign governments in Washington. They admit | the universal practice of using spies, but they say it is not customary abroad to acknowledge the fact as openly as the United States does. The War Department declines to give any facts concerning the employment of spies, but it is admitted that General MacArthur has a secret service which has been invaluable to the military government in the Philippines, — MANY OFFICERS REMAIN.

HE fight among the members of the French colony which has been waged for the past year over the menagement of the French Hospi- tal, came to a close yesterday, when, at the annual meeting of the mu- tual benevolent soclety, President K. Chartrey and his supporters were com- pletely routed. Not a single Chartréy man was elected to the board of managers af the soclety and despite the efforts of Chartrey to maintain the training school for nurses, the members of the soclety decided by an overwhelming vote to abéi- ish the school which has been the cause of much scandal in the past year. The meeting and election took place in Native Sons' Hall, 84§ members being registered as attending. The Chartrey and anti-Chartrey factions lined up for battle at 1 p. m., and at 10 p. m. the Chartrey colors went down to defeat amid the rejolcing of the victors. The election board, appointed two weeks ago, took every precaution yesterday to prevent any illegal voting. Members were required to present their credentials on entering the hall and received a voting card. The cards were exchanged for bal- lots and before depositing the voting slips in the urns each voter was compelled to sign a register. The election buard re- membered the scandal which attended the previous election and no chances were taken of the ballot box being ‘“'stuffed.” Combine to Defeat Chartrey. During the past week thirty-two names of candidates for election as directors of the society had been posted. Chartrey is credited with having made an active cam- paign, spending money freely to drum up votes. Thursday last the “League of enri combined forces with the Julien” ‘men, with the object of secur- ing the downfall of Chartrey and his ad- nerents. A slate was prepared of fiffeen strong candidates, pledged to select J. M. Dupas for the office of-president. Chartrey begged to be allowed to figure on the siate, but the “Bearnals”’ would not hear of it. Chartrey, in a fit of dis- gust, withdrew his name and those of hia candidates from the ballot, and all his en- crgy was directed to defeat Dupas for president. At yesterday's meeting the various amendments and propositions of mer- bers came up for adoption. The big fight of the day was made on the proposal to abolish the training school for nurses. Chartrey took the floor and claimed that the school was a financial success and that it should be continued. This state- ment raised an uproar. Student Nurses Forced to Go. A. Goustlaux delivered an impassioned speech in which he demanded the abolish- ment of the school on the ground that it was of no use and prolific of scandal. P. A. Bergerot spoke in a similar strain and said that the scandalous conduct of some of the nurses had brought the hos- o disrepute. P I erot locked horns with Presi- dent Chartrey when the latter denied that the mangement of the hospital had ever TUAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. * J. M. DUPAS, WHO HAS BEEN SHLECTED BY THE ANTI-CHARTREY | FACTION FOR THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OF THE FRENCH MU- truth!” came in a rush from all parts of the hall, and Chartrey vainly rang his bell for order. An attempt to prolong the discussion by the Chartrey faction was nipped by the application of sthe “closure.” It was known tothe anti-Chartrey faction that a plot existed to stave off the.election to a late hour so that the majoriy of the “‘Bearnais,” who could not remain, would not be able to vote. The ‘‘closure” was carried, and the proposal to abolish the school of nurses was carried by a big majority vote. The other proposals car- ried were of minor importance. The election commenced at 3 p. m. and closed at 7. The counting of the votes was closely scrutinized, and at 10 p. m. the result was made known. Anti-Chartrey Ticket Elected. The fifteen anti-Chartrey candidates were elected, and carried with them Dr. J. E. Artigues for the post of consulting reappointment, was defeated for the of- fice. Dr. F. R. Orella and Lr.
