D., secretary of the American Baptist Publication Society says: "The next century will probably witness very great enlargements in the publishing world. Books will be cheaper and more numerous than ever before. During the last thirty years the general publishing houses of this country have Increased from 1.50 to 9.0V). This Increase will probably be maintained at the same rate in the coming century. The best of literature will be put in the bet forms at ruch prices that the poorest of the .poor may easily secure it. There will also be a very great Increase of magazines and papers of all sorts. Every department of life will have its specialty, and there will be such cheapening of product that It will be disgraceful for any family to be without dally, scientific and religious papers and magazines. Whether the character of books and magazines will change is a question which cannot row be determined. They Wanted 1a Know. Baltimore American.

RANSOM WILL BE PAID

BUT FILiriOS "WILL XOT HAVE IM31 ED I ATE USE OP THE 3IOXEV. gpanlah Commissioner Trylnc to Arrange with Aguinaldo for Release of Military Prisoners. MANILA. July 13. The Spanish commission charged with negotiating for the release of Spanish prisoners held by the Filipinos expects to return to Tarlac soon with full authority to secure the release of all the prisoners. The commissioners hope to '"be able to make arrangements under which the money to be paid for the ransom of the Spanish captives will be deposited In the bank to be drawn by the Filipinos at a future date, so that the money cannot be used to carry on the war against the United States. The Filipino's have refused to allow civilian prisoners to embark on board a fhlp. although they had passports signed by Aguinaldo. Terrific rains have fallen here during the last two days. In consequence it has been necessary to use boats in moving about the streets, and the whole country is flooded. Insurgents concealed on the bank of the Rio Grande to-day tired on the gunboat Laguna de Bay, killing one soldier -and wound ing two. The gunboat trained a Gatling gun on the shore and quickly di?persed the insurgents. Only Two Deserted. WASHINGTON. July 19.-A statement of the War Department shows that of fiftysix officers and 1.J15 enlisted men of the Second Oregon Regiment forty-nine were killed in battle or died ot disease during the campaign in the Philippines, a percentage of 3.6. Only two men deserted. HAS DONE WELL. (Concluded from Ftrat rage.) draw its attention to the situation in which the government would be left upon the proclamation of peace. In one message he delivered to the Senate the peace treaty. In another he warned Congress that as soon as the treaty wa ratified and the ratifications exchanged he would be compelled to muster out the troops at Manila. An army bill drawn in conformity with the government views was already prepared and was urgently pressed on Congress. The country will remember the bitter opposition it encountered from the Democratic party. Democratic members who did not dare to assume the responsibility of defeating the peace treaty, who would not even consent to take the responsibility of opposing the ac quisition of the Philippines, arrayed themselves with the rest of the party against the army bill. The Democratic leaders in both House and Senate had the bewilder ing hardihood to declare that the Increased forces asked for were going to be employed not In Manila, but here in our country. They were not needed in Manila, these leaders said, and they actually argued that the ad ministration was using the unlikely menace of war in the Philippines as a means of exacting from Congress an enormous regu lar army for the suppression of liberty at home. It may surprise intelligent persons to know that this sort of talk could be in dulged in upon the floors of Congress, but there were weeks and weeks of it. and meanwhile the insurgents were gathering an army of 3),CC0 men, were growing more and more belligerent in their attitude and every day brought nearer the time when peace would be proclaimed with Spain and the government be left without a legal claim to the service of a single soldier in Manila. M'KINLEY'S FORESIGHT. "It was the 2d of March before Congress passed the army bill, and the war in the Philippines had been going on for four weeks. When the "country considers this fact and realizes that the 20,000 American troops then In Manila had been assembled there not at all in anticipation of a cam paign against the Filipinos, but wholly and solely for the purpose of defeating the Span lards, and that the President had been told by no less an authority than Admiral Dewey that tol the purpose 5,000 men would be sufficient, surely his foresight and good Judgment will be everywhere approved. Bat tie after battle was fought and every battle won. And now when at last the authority he had Eought from Congress was conferred. not In the form he sought it, but in the fashion or a compromise, here was the un exampled task that was set before him. He had at once to reduce an army of 63,000 regulars to an army of 27.000. mustering out 36.000 men: he had to enlist an equal number of regulars to take the places of those mustered out; he had to organize the new regulars, to provide transports for them to Manila, to transport back the army then there and at the same time and all the while to prosecute the war. This is what he has been doing the last four months. "The new army bill was not what the President wanted, but It gave him permission to raise a regular army of 65,000 men and also to raise a volunteer army of 35.000 men and to keep them until July 1, 1&0L Under the terms of this act 43,000 regulars have already enlisted and have taken the places of an equal number of men who have been formally mustered out. The new regiments of volunteers are now organizing. General Otis has been supplied already with; 22,0)0 regulars having two years' service before them. And all the while the fighting In Luzon has been maintained with the result already described in this statement. What more could be asked or expected? What possible criticism can be passed upon the intelligence or the foresight with which these difficult and complicated affairs have been conducted? What, Indeed, can be said except in warm and generous praise both of the administration at home and of the army abroad? WILL SOON HAVE 40,000 MEN. "On June 23 the transport Sheridan sailed from San Francisco with 1,800 men, the Valencia sailed on June 20 with 500 more, the Pennsylvania sailed on July 1 with 1,30") more, the Para sailed on July 12 with 1,000 more and the Tartar is due to sail July 22 with still another' thousand. Three regi ments of volunteer frifantry are in process of organization at Manila and the ten home regiments will be ready by the middle of August. So that by the end of the rainy season and as soon as troops can be used General Otis will have a fully equipped and effective force of not less than 40,00") men and 10,000 more will be ready for departure in case rhey are needed." "It may be true that if, on Feb. 5, when the insurgents made their attack, we then had properly dispensed through Luzon Island such an army of occupation as will be there in the fall, the rebellion might be now much nearer its end than it seems to be, but the facts which I have recited show, first, that the President had no right, in honor and good faith with Spain, to send to the Philippines one single man more than was there nor on his way there, when the peace protocol was signed last August nor until the ratifications of the treaty of peace were exchanged on April 11. On that day the Philippine islands became the property of the United States. The facts show, second, that he could have sent to the Philippines, assuming that the obstacle oj good faith with Spain had been removed, only a body of men whose enlistment expired with the proclamation of peace, and whose dispatch out of the country was, consequently, of no avail. The facts show, third, that he had assembled an army much larger than his military advisers thought necessary and large enough, as the event has proved, to maintain our position and greatly extend our authority. And the facts show, fourth, that since the proclamation of peace with Spain and the passage of the new army bill he has reorganized our military forces In their entirety and Is now possessed of an army with two years of service to run, more competent, as he and his advisers believe, to bring about the pacification of the Islands. "There Is nothing for which any American need apologize in this record. It is a record of sagacity and competency. It is a record of consistent and unparalleled success, a success that began with the message to Dewey: 'Go and destroy the Spanish fleet in Manila bay, and that will not end until the possessions which duty and fortune have confided to our care are llrmly advanced on the high road to peace and prosperity." A DEMOCRATIC UXTHUTII. General Anderson Explode One Of the Literary Ilatenu'i Fukei, FORT THOMAS. Ky , July 13. Gen. Thomas M. Anderson, commander of the Department of the Lakes, was seen l ere to-day by a representative of the Associated Press and asked for a statement concerning the letter from th correspondent of the Minneapolis Times, In which the corrc-

spondent made the Filipino peace commissioner. Sealsita. say that General Anderson, at a dinner given in his honor at Cavite, had said the Americans had not come to the Philippines for the purpose of taking one foot of territory with the view of permanent possession, but for the purpose of giving the Filipinos their independence. Gen. Anderson very promptly and decidedly said he had never used any such language. He stated that when he reached Manila he had no transportation, forage or fuel, and he applied to Aguinaldo for these things. This

drew him Into a correspondence with Aguin aldo. from which the general soon saw that Aguinaldo s purpose was to put every obstacle in the way of furnishing the things needed by the United States army and at the same time to involve the United States, through General Anderson, in some sort of recognition or tne rlllplno government. In that correspondence, the general says, he made it plain to Aguinaldo that he was there In a purely military capacity, with no authority whatever to bind the United States by an act or recognition; that his intercourse with Aguinaldo was purely military, both being opposed by a common enemy. He also pointed out that as no nation had recognized the r nipino government, or had even given it belligerent rights, it was impossible for him to do anything of the kind. This correspondence was before the Paris peace commission. The general rememoerea tne ainner referred to, which was tendered to him and to Dewey, but Dewey did not attend. In the after-dinner speeches there was a good deal of buncombe indulged in about freeing the Filipinos from Spanish oppression, and a very general expression of gratitude for the assistance of the United States and of a desire for the establishment of a United States protectorate. One very prominent Filipino, Buen Camlnoa, openly opposed a protectorate, and declared that the Filipinos wanted to be annexed to the United States in order that they might have the privileges of the States. "I want it distinctly stated," said the general, "that I never at any time made any such statement as is attributed to me by Salsita. Another matter," said Gen. Anderson. "I wish to set right: I have seen It charged that I had clashed with General Otis, and one writer has it that I was recalled on that account. There was no clash between me and General Otis. It is true I made a suggestion with regard to attacking the Filipinos because they were inintrenching in our front and that General Otis did not act upon it. But this made no clash. General Otis may have been acting under direct orders from Washington. As to my recall, that was date in January, and hostilities did not begin until February, so it could have had no connection with the active campaign, as suggested." Wants Miles in Place of Oils. WASHINGTON. July 13. Senator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, in an interview today said: "There seems to be a strong feeling among the people that Major General Otis has not pushed the campaign in the Philippines as vigorously as he should and it might be well for ih President. to put another general In authority. I believe the people would like to see General Miles sent to the Philippines and placed in command. There is a general confidence in his ability as a soldier and campaigner. I do not think the President or the War Department has been to blame. Otis should have asked for more men and should have seen to it that when he took an insurgent stronghold or village he had strength enough to hold it." MISTAKES OF SEA CAITAIiS. The Paris Accident Recall Errors Made by Other Olllcers. New York Times. ' Capt. W. B. Hilton, a member of the Board of Commissioners of Pilots, and a veteran navigator. In speaking the other day of the report of Capt. Watklns on the Paris disaster, said that it reminded him of several other cases which had come under his observation in his seafaring career where captains had made mistakes for which they could offer no explanation. The only explanation possible, in the speaker's opinion, was that a captain's mind was as liable as that of any other man to become dazed or confused to such an extent as to prevent him from realizing the imminence of danger. "There was the case of th captain of a Baltimore & Ohio lighter wbkh I observed right in this bay," said Capt. Hilton. "The lighter was coming up the bay at full speed when the captain suddenly gave the order to let go the starboard anchor. He never realized what he had done until the anchor struck bottom, and the ship suddenly swujug around with a jerk almost enough to throw, the sailors off their feet. The lighter was surrounded by other shipping, -and it looked aa though a collslon could not be avoided, but fortunately no harm resulted. The engines were stopped and the lighter swung around in a narrow circle, and when she had returned to about her original position the port anchor was let go and she came to a stop. "At another time, when I was In the harbor at Key West. I saw Capt. Rollins, of the steamer Isabel, run his ship Into a wharf in the most extraordinary way. The steamer came into the harbor under good speed, with the captain standing like a statute on the bridge. He gave no order to slacken speed or to alter the course and the steamer went right ahead until she struck the wharf, badly damaging it and herself. The captain apparently was looking right ahead, but he said afterward that the time just before the crash was a blank to him and that he had no idea what was going to happen until the shock brought him back to himself. "In one case that I remember the captain not only made an Inexcusable mistake in fixing his course, but was too obstinate afterward to change it, even when warned that he was in danger of running his ship aground. The steamer was the Persian Monarch, now called the May Flint, and was coming in from Europe under command of Capt. Bristow. Pilot Jackson was taken aboard out rear the eastern end of Long Island, but v-'as told that his services would not be required -until the ship reached Sandy Hook. The pilot was on deck, and when the steamer got along near Shinnecock he noticed that the course being steered was one that would ground the steamer in a few minutes if it was not changed. Of course he had no authority, but he thought it his duty to speak to the first officer, who was on the bridge, the captain being in his cabin. The first officer was very reluctant to say anything to the captain, but the pilot was so vehement in declaring that the ship was in danger that he finally sent for him. When the captain reached the bridge and heard what was the matter he ridiculed the idea that he could be mistaken regarding the course. I have sailed these waters for years and am well acquainted with them,' he said, with a ?lfsatisfied air. 'Youil be better acquainted in five minutes if you don't shift vour helm ' was Pilot Jackson's reply. And, sure enough, in less than five minutes the Persian Monarch was hard and fast aground, and the wreckers had a toug.i job pulling her off. The captain lost his license for a few months.' What Is Yiddish? London Dally Mall. During the hearing of an action rofnr Judge French yesterday it was stated that ?iaintirt ana aeienaant could speak only iddlsh. Mr. Morris Abraham Wolfski had twenty years' experience of this peculiar dialect of the East-end foreigners, offered some explanations to his honor of its origin and peculiarities. Counsel: All the foreign Hebrews in the East end speak It. don't they? Witness: Yes; but Russian Poles do not freak .the same Yiddish as the Germans, they have a more Russian pronunciation of many words. Counsel: 'Tien what do you call Yiddish? Witness: it is a mixture of all the center European languages, old and new. Counsel: How do you account for the mixture? Witness: Hebrews have migrated from all Parts, bringing their own language, and the intermarrying and daily Intercourse have led to the languages, which are somewhat similar, getting mixed Into a dlalect-Yld-oish. No one actually learns Yiddish. Because, the different tribes, as you might say have different meanings for the same words. That is why you could never get an exact Yiddish interpreter.
