IN THE PHILIPPINES. American. Solcuers Must Remain, says Gen. Wood.-There Must be no Reduction In Army. Washington, Oct. 18.-With a total foree of 20,043 officers and enlisted men in the Philippine Islands, Major Gen. Leonard Wood, commanding the Philippines division, deems' that it would be most unwise to make any considerable reduction in the strength of the garrison. In his annual report received by the war department, Gen. Wood d(ee0lme. that conditions are generally petteeful in the Philippine archipelago, but'lthinks that the main tenance of an adequate military force there is absolutely necessary for the support of the civil government. "We 'are far from home, and in case of foreign disturbance, even with oni troops eoneentrated at Mani ]a the force available would be barely sufficient to defend it from serious attack." In these words Gen. Wood gives another reason, which the war department authorities regard as co gent why the garrison in the Philip pines should not be reduced. Contin uing, he says: "Moreover, a strong garrison should be maintained here until con flitions pertaining to the civil govern ment are well established and the ani mosities and disappointments inci dent to the building up of local gov ernment under new and perhaps strained conditions have passed away.'' Gen. Wood says the completion of seaonasl defenss now in process of conrneli,in in fihe Phiflippines will Soon re.ider. it necessary to stalionl there several companies (if seilcoast artiller). Ile also Irgently recom mends that. one squadron of each cav alry regiment he sent to the Philip pines division. Conditions in tile Island of Luzon whicil embraces Manila, have been sltivfaltory during tile past. year, says"R Cenl. Wood.

HEAVY OOST TO OUBA. The Oost of American Intervention W,~ill be Oharged up to the' Island People. Washlington, Oct. 38.-If there is muelh left of tile Cuban treasury sur plus1 after all1 tile costs resulting from tile (disagreemnei. bet ween political Iladers as5 to whos shlould ori shold not11 spenid it, thIat counltry may count it self fortunate. The pr'operty damage done to American and English initerests by inisurgents has not been fully ascer tained, but it wil go itilte hun dreds of thousands of dollars anid when) order is restoired, -demands are certain to be made for payment and whlerever a claim is just the govern ment will have to pay it. Cuba wvill also have to pay tihe cost of intervention, which wvill be ov'er a million dollars, and that, too, will have to come out of the national treasuiry. The first intimation of tile inter ventioni of the United States to sad dle the island republic wit hthe ex penses of our effort to keep peace down there came in the announcement from the quartermaster's department that the cost of transport metvic $225,000, was debited to the Cuban treasury. Inquiry at tihe quartermaster gen eral 's office resulted in the discovery that thuis.is only a small part of the charge Wvhich the Cubans must meet s a result of their rebellion in.voiv. g lntervention and the use of Amer. ican troops. The bill. against Cuba F also will include the cost of trans porting the troops from interior R points to the Atlantic coast ports by rail (in some cases they were carried across the continent) and all the ant mals, wagons, tents and other sup Plies which were purchased or taken from the quartermaster's depots for use in Cuba. PC The medical department and the com missary department have been b< Put to considerable extra expense by at intervention, and it would not be sur- wi prising if the total would exceed the million dollar mark, all to be defray- N ed from the Cuban treasury. If this method of keeping accounts n< is carried out and applied, to the maintenance of the army in Cuba, lo the Cuban treasury will find itself the poorer by considerably more than pr another million dollars. Apparently this system of charges is to be appli- hie ed, for Brig. Oen. Barry, acting chief of staff, today issued a general order he stating that by direction of the presi dent the military forces now asembl- te ed in Cuba, or to be assembled there, m are constituted an army to be known in as the army of Cuba pacification, the command of which is assigned to Brig. Gen. J. Franklin Bell. ml Princeton Men in Business. ..Princeton, N. J., October 22.-Fig ures which have just been compiled 1 from the new directory of living grad untes and former students of Prince ton Unversity show that the college A graduate of today is more and more choosing a business rather than a professional caree'. The1-e statistics show that iarly one-third of the liv- - ing aliunni of Piinceton are in busi niess. R The increasing number of college men who are entering and influenc ing business life in America is one of the marked changes that has come over our educated population in the last twenty-five years. It is not so long ag-o tlhal practically all boys sent to 'ollel-e were destined for n professionl career--lawi, d ivinity, nine'eingi, ete. Bit all this is chanu ed. Exclusive of the Class of 1900, there are 7,190 living alumni of Prin eton. Of the 6,522 elassified a- fee cording to their occupation, 2,29 are in business, 1,498 in the law, 924 in the ministry, 6699 practising medi eine, 433 teachers, 290 engineers, 104 journalists, 50 ranching and farming, 50 gentlemen of leisure, 41 students, 3 4 in t lie Aihmy, 31 Civil SEervice, 20 ri feitelire, 1) chenists, :10 artists, 9 a'11th1411s, 7 in the Na vy, 5 libtr.an (, 4 Ilusiciinls, alndl 4 dentists. Among the living alumni of the classes prior to 1841, who number 24, 7 none is engaged in business, prior to 1850, only 5 per cent., and prior to 1870, only 15 per cent. In the 80's. the number of graduates following a hiusiness career shows a marked in crease, amounting to 25 percent. This ~i pe rcen tage remains p)ractically the same for the alumni in the '90's. In 1 the elasses which hav'e been graduat ed since 1900, the increase is very miarked, averaging 50 per1 cent. It is a fair presumption .that there will be an increase instead of a de ('lease ini thle number' of stumdents who, ill followv a business career, and that " the tendency of thme times to edueate. a man for b)usiniess by sending him tota college for four years or a shorter ci period will incr'ease rather than dim- c inish. P Signs of a Hard Winter. That thle comning intter is going to be thle hardest one0 for thle p)ast t wentf~ Pr ye'ars thiere is an abundance of signs to shuowi, and among them it may be Bry ment ionied that: The corn husks are a foot and a hall' thick, and all thme stalks lean to en the west. The geese, ducks and chickens are Ca growing a coat of fur under their feathers, and are rubbing borax on wi thoir feet to harden them up. All the one-eye owls are leaving cit the country a month earlier than us ual, and the bob-tailed squirr'els are Tii laying in sweet potatoes, as well as nuts, foir wvinter provisions. A. Thie famer who has taken the trou b)1e to investigate has found that all tai the toads5tools on the old logs have ace wr'minkles in them. The last time that this happened lhe had winter weather str that froze the handles of plows. Rabbits are sitting around with 12: humped-up look to them, and field mice have wrinkles in their ta'ils.
