GETS MAJORITY FOR GONGESSION Payne Seerus Confident Cuban Tar.ff Will Be. Reduced. WASHINGTON, March 2.—Chairman Payne of the Ways and Means Commit- tee announced to-day that a special | meeting of the committee would be held | at 10:30 2. m. on Monday to consider the Cuban reciprocity b The announce- ment was made after the situation had been thoroughly canvassed by Payne and his lieutenants, and they had satisfied themselves that the Payne bill, granting 26 per cent tariff concessions to Cuba, commanded sufficient strength to be re- ported from the committee by Republi- | can Payne's announcement brought assurance that the long and bit- terly fought contest was nearing its close in a satisfactory to the reciproci While no specific claims were made, it was well understood among the Ways | and Means leaders that reliance could be placed upon nine Republican members of the committee, or just one more than & majority. Aside from this the inquiries of the Ways and Means leaders Jed them to believe that four and -possibly five Democratic votes would be given to the bill. Their desire, however, had been to | report the me re without any reliance on the minority, and this they are now confident of being able to do. There was some prospect, however, of the pairing of members, which might reduce the total strength on each side, but in such equal ratio that the reciprocity measure would continue to > sufficient Republican votes to revort it without amendment. | Payne would not outline his plans be- | yond Monday, but it is understood to be | the purpose not to take up the bill on the floor of the House next week, as the sundry civil approgftation bill is-expected | to be considered., leaving the Cuban measure to come up the following week.

On the other hand it would be very difficult to keep such a pro- ceeding free from spectacular and sensational features, which would be injurious. It is not the fact that the warfare in the Philippines has been conducted with marked severity; on the contrary the warfare has been conducted with marked Kumanity and mag- nanimity on the part of the United States army.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY, WASH- INGTON, March 24, 1902—Respectfully sub- mitted to the Secretary of War: In accordance with the verbal message re- celved from Colonel Carter through Mr. Brandt, a clerk in the adjutant general’s of- fice, I have the honor to return my letter of | February, 1902, with indorsements thercon. In connection with my letter and the in- dorsements thereon, I desire to say that I rogret that the honorable Secretary sheuld ave been under the impression that & propo- sition that was prompted in the interest of humanity would in any way be regarded aa “‘spectacular and seneational” I should not anticipate any such result. I would call at- tention to the last page of my letter. in which 1 dlstinctly said: ‘“This need not refiect in the- slightest degree upon the services of the mil tary nor interfere with the civil governments that have been or may be established.” I think it will be admitted that no such ob- jection was ever raised by any of the Gov- ernors ef States or Territories, or department commanders, when the numerous Indian dole- ington, would also eall attention to the fact that last winter, while on an official visit to Cuba, 1 was appealed to by members of the con- stitutional convention who rald they wished to communicate dircctly with the President, and I advised them to make such a request.

The result was gratifying, not oniy to our Government authorities, but to the people of Cuba as well. All this was done without the slightest refiection on Major General Wood or objection on his part, as far as I know. Reierring to that part of my communication which states that the warfare in the Philip- pine Tslands had been conducted with marked geverity and to the remarks of the honorable Secretary on that point, it is proper to £ay that 1 had in mind such 'information as is con- veyed in the letter of Governor W. H. Taft, addressed to the honorable Secretary, dated Washington, Feruary 7, 1962, as well as other communicaticns that have been ’referred to these headquarters, or received by me. Concerning my golng to the Phillppines it Wwas my purposé nearly a year ago to do so, and this was with the knowledge of the Secre- tary of War and the approval of the late Pres- ident McKinley, but the journey was postponed in consequence of the increase in and reorgani- zation of the army. The suggestion contained in my letter that in going to the Philippine Islands 1 take certain natives of Cuba and Porto Rico and on return- ing bring back certain of those of the Philip- pine Islands Was prompted by my belief that the result would ‘be satisfactory to all con- cerncd. Since this measure is not deemed ad- Vvisable I do not ask for its turther considera- tion and, making my delayed visit to the Phil- ippines, which I hope to do in the near future, 1 rhall devote my attention to the condition ard requirements of the troops in that division, the same as 1 have in respect to the other portions of the army. NELSON A. MILES, Lieutenant General Commanding U. S. 'A. SOME POINTED REMARKS. WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, March 25, 1902.—Several weeks after the final disposition of the within application by the action of thé President on the Gth of March, and after the introduction of a resolution in Congress calling for the papers, the lisutenant genmeral attached to them a statement dated March 24, 1902, with the apparent purpose of showing that the action taken was wrong. ‘Without commenting upon the propriety of a military officer undertaking to review the acfion of the President, I again submit the paper tor such reconsideration as the President may think advisable, with the tollowing remarks: 1. The delegation from Cuba referred to in this paper cougisted of public officers with de- fined puwers, charged.with the performance of a specific duty as official represcntatives of the peoble of Cuba, gnd appointed by the constitu- tional convention'elected by that people. The Fresident's consent (o receive the committee was asked for by General Wood through the Becretary of War and was communicated to General Wood by the Secretary of War, who never heard General Miles' name mentioned in mection with the transaction. 3 the” 18th of July 1900, General Miles applied to be sent to the Philippines and t China in his official caacity. At that time General MacArthur had reported that not a singlc additional regiment could be spared from the Philippines without puiting our interests there In jeorardy, and had shown the reasons and the gravity of the situation there in dis- vllch.e! which had passed through General Mileg' office. In the tace of these dispatches General Miles accompanted his application by a recommendation that 15,000 troops be with- drawn from the Philippines, and be sent to China. The drawai of 15,000 troops from the Philippines would have made necessary the practical abandonment of a large part of the country, and the restoration of insurgent con- trol therein. At least two-thirds of the 15,000 were wholly unnecessary in Cnina, unless for the purpose of enabling the United States to furnish a greater number of troops than any Iuropean power and upon that score to claim the supreme command of the allied forces. The application and recommendation were in fact accompanied by a request from General Miles that such supreme command of the allied forces should be obtalned for him. Under tle circumstances, President McKinley declined to authorize the sending of Genera) Milea efther to the Philippines or to China. A year afterward the Secretary of War author- ized the licutenant gemeral to extend his in- speétion tour to the Philippines lor the pur- pose of inspection only. He has never been authorized to go for any other purpose. The question whether the order which the lieu- tenant general asks sending him to ths Philip- pines would interfere with the present military and civil contrcl must be determined, not by what the application says about the order, but by the terms of the proposed order itself. The lieutenant general asks authority “to give such directions as 1 (he) may deem advisable and judicious for the best disposition of the United States military forcés.” That, of course, means to command General Chaffec, and he asks authority “also to take such measures as will tend to restore as far as possible confidence to the people of those islands, “and demonstrate that the purposes of our Government are prompteéd by the highest sense of justice.” That means, if it means anything, authority to do himselt, or to require the civil officers of the Philippines to ‘do under his direction, the very duties which were charged upon the Phil- ippine Commission and the Civil Governor in the islands by President McKinley and which they are now engaged in doing. The authority asked is not to recommend, but to take meas- ures. It the measures to be taken are to be determined by General Miles, then the power of the commission to determine upon them must end. There is no place for any such au- thority under the present government, and it it were to be granted the system of civil gov- ernment by which we have gradually and steadily superéeded military eontrol and have superseded 1t throughout the greater part of the archipelago, would again be subordinated to military power and the people of the islands would be subjected to the arbitrary control of a mflitary dictator. REMOVES ALL DOUBT. The reterence in the memorandum to the letter of Governor Taft to the Secretary of War, dated February 7, 1902; is to a-letter transmitting, for the purpose of investigation by the military authorities, a report by the Civil Governor. of the -province of Tayabas, containing in general terms and without speci- fications or names serlous charges against the militarys administration in that province and against the conduct of the army generally in its relutions to the civil Government. This re- port was on the 19th of February sent to Gen- eral Chaffee, with the following direction: ‘‘There is so much contained in this report re- flecting not only upon officers. of the .army but the general conduct of affairs and the ad- minidtration of the military branch ‘of the Government that the Secretary, of War desires you to cause a careful Inquiry to be made con- cerning these statements, and I they be found true that the necessary administrative and disciplinary measures be apptled to correct these evils and alsc to make a full report of DR.

It is to be regretted that the reference to the highest ranking officer in the army should assume the truth of charges reflecting upon the credit of the army In advance of the investi- gation which has been ordered and without giving General Chaffee, upon whose particular command “the charges reflect, an opportunity to be_heard. Governor Taft's letter shows that the civil Governor of the Philippines was unwilling to accept the charges as true without an Ine vestigation. As the lieutenant general's memorandum of March 24 was not made until after the in- troduction of a resolution in the House of Rep- resentatives calling for all correspondence and papers in the matter of his application to &o to the Philippines, the putting into these papers of the specific reference to the letter transmitting the charges plainly evinces a de- sign to procure the publication of the charges and of thé lleutenant general's acceptance thereof as true, in advance of the investiga- tion of their truth, and of a report thereon by General Chaffee. In the Interest of good .dis- cipline and effective service such a course is much to be regretted. Such charges ought not to be published against our countrymen whom we have sent to labor and fight under our flag on the other side of the world before they can be heard in the'r own defense. ELIHU ROOT, Secretary of War. WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON, March 29, 002.—The memorandum of the Secretary of War is approved as a whole and as to evers part.

L e n e ] ] HINTS ARE L03T ON HITGHCOCK Interior Secretary Want- ed Out but Doesn’t Know It. Special Dispatch to The Cail. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, March 20.—In spite of persistent denials, the official days of E. A. Hitchcock as Secretary of the In- terior in President Roosevelt's Cabinet are numbered. Delicate hints have been re- peatedly dropped to personal friends of Secretary Hitchcock that the latter's res- ignation would not be regarded as a seri- cus blow to the administration, but thus far Be appears to have been too busily engrossed in other matters to observe the “‘tvpewriting on the wall” which is so apparent to those who have watched the somewhat strained relationship between the administration and the Secretary of the Interfor. A Western Senator, who is said to be urging an .early change in the Interior Department, in referring to this subject recenty remarked ‘It begins to look as though Hitchcock is wailing for a brick house to tumble on him before he realizes that his absence from the Cabinet table can be easily en- dured.” While there has never been a close per- sonal friendship between the President and Hitchcock, the President has been disinclined to act upon the suggestions re- | peatedly made by leading Republicans of | the West urging the retirement of the ! present Secretary of the Interior. The right upon Hitchecock commenced before President McKiniey died, and it is doubt- ful if Hitchcock would have remained | long in the Cabinet had McKinley lived. | While there are no specific ' charges against Hitcheock which would justify | his summary removal, it is generally con- ceded that he Is not a popular official. It is known tnat the President is looking the field over for his successor, and a num- ber of names have been quietly discussed by the President+and those enjoying his confidence. There are many circumstances which | might be cited to strengthen the impres- gion that an early change is inevitabla. | One of the strongest indications that che President is not satisfied with the present condition of affairs at the Interior De- partment is to be found in the fact that | on several occasions recently he has called up cases passed upon by Secretary | Hitchcock and reversed his rulings. fn- stead of conferring with the Secretary on questions re)&tlnselo the Interior Depart- | ment, the President has on more thaa| one occasion ignored him and consulted subordinates without his knowledge. 5 ol THE DAY’S DEAD, || - ’ William 8.

Peruna is of national fame as a catarrh remedy. It is the only Internal, sys- temic = catarrh .remedy. known to Lhe nedical profession.
