of Porto Rico, will not resign. That
was settled at a White Boose confer
ence, a few hours after hit) arrival in
Washi ugtou. He lias done so well in
Porto Rico, that President IfcIDnley
asked him to withhold his resignattoa
for a.tiuie, and he consented to do so,
and after a visit to his old home, in
Massachusetts, he will return to the
island. Speaking of the island, Gov.
Allen said:' "Affairs are , moving
smoothly in Porto Rico. -Tbe condi
tion of the islaud is maeh improved
and in my opinion is now better jfchajr
it ever was before. A clvH govera
meni has been established in all its
branches and is operating smoothly
The island has not ooj, the United

The revenues of the island, 8iape tjbte

that act. Next Mar oh the law wiU ex

the PiCruiim.
Secretary Root has jasfc received a
personal letter from Gen. Thomas H
Barry, dated at Manila, February 19.
which shows the confidenoe feltby his
brother officers in Gen. Fanstoh's abil
ity to succeed in the dangerous task it
was then known he had qadertaken.
Following is an extract ticqnljie let
ter: "The bottom has abost dropped
out of the insurrection. The insmrreo
tos seem to be falling over each other
in surrendering themselves and arms.
We have Aguinaldo definitely located
with good prospects of running him
down in the near fata re. He is now,
in the town of Palanan, north-east
coast of Luzon, abonfc one bandred
miles north of Gasigaran. Funstoa is
going to make a try 'or him in a few
days. He is going to take desperate
chances, but I believe he will bag
him."
Gen. MacArthur oontinves to send
good news from the Philippines. The
surrender of the armed Filipinos is
practically a continuous performance,
and no fighting at all iss going on.
This is so gratifying to President Mo
Kin I ey that he has decided "that the
total strength of the regular army
shall only be enlisted op to .three
quarters of the one hundred thousand
men authorized by congress, unless
later advioes from Gen. MacArthur
shall make it plain that a larger num
ber will be necessary. It oan be stated
on the highest authority that Aguinal
do will not be allowed to oome to the
United States as long as he is consid
ered a prisoner, and how long he will
be so regarded will depend upon how
he conducts himself, and upon how
those who have been his followers
conduct themselves. In other wordf
be and the other Filipinos who: have
been in revolt against the .United
'lis sisaatsre is evy bex mt t&
States must live up to the oath of al
legiance they have taken to the Unit
ed States before they are entirety
freed from surveillance. Now that
things are getting in a satisfactory
Condition in the islands, this govern
ment is fully determined that neither
Aguinaldo or any one else shall be
given an opportunity to undo the good
work that has been done.
r UNVEILING OF THE LOGAN STATUE.
i Everything is in readiness for the
nnveiling of the handsome equestrian
itatue of Gen. John A. Logan, one of
the most elaborate as well as most ar
tistfe in Washington, which will take
place tomorrow. The ceremonies con
nected with the unveiling include the
escorting of President McKinley and
his cabinet from the White House to
Iowa circle, where the statue is, by
United States sohiiers and marines
tinder command of Brigadier General
Guenther; a major-general's salute of
fifteen guns, by United States artillery;
addresses by General G. M. Dodge,
Rev. Dr. F. M. Bristol, Franklin Sim J
toons, the artist who made 'he statue,
and President McKinley, and a set
oration by Senator Depew. Master
George Tucker, son of Maj. Tucker,
U. 8. A. and grandson of Gen. Logan,
will unveil the statue.
CONDITION OF THE JAIL.
Praise for Sheriff Staton From the
Secretary of the Prison Reform
, Association.
Editors Times: As secretary of the
Prison Reform committee appointed
by order of the last convention of the
Protestant Episcopal church in this
district, it gives me much pleasure t
acknowledge ihe receipt from our rep
resentative in your county, of a most
satisfactory report of the condition of
e jail and the discipline maintained
among the prisioners.
Many good people entirely mistake
the purpose of prison reform workers,
and charge them with wishing to "feed
prisoners on fruit cake and to dress
them in silks and satius." So please
say that we have no such ambition;
our delight is in hearing of strict tlis-
ci!iue i being enforced; we know that
It' is of the first importtnce. We also
kirtow that to attain it requires con
stant care and watchfulness on the
parti of the sheriff and his deputies.
In our letter of instructions to our
agents are these words: "If no evil ex
istsVit will delight this committee to
know it, and to give publicly all praise
to the Officers who have brought about
that happy condition.'' Therefore in
the name of the committee I extend to
your sheriff, and to all who have aided
him in his difficult duties, our sincere
thanks, our hearty praise for the good
work they have done, and promise to
lay before the next convention, which
?rjll meet in Hendersonville, the re
port that has reached us.
: Very. Respectfully,
T. W. Patton, Sec.
