Manila, July 22.—Tho conforouce between ‘ Adjutant 'General Corbin and General Cbaifeo recently liold hero will probably result in radical economical , and administrative re forms in the army of occupation. It is estimated that tho total cost of maintaining tho Ainorieau army in tho islands can bo reduced by G O por cout in cost of one year. Tho princi pal chuugo will bo a roduotion in tho present forco to between 20 and 30 thousaud men. The abolishment of the prosout army districts is com pleted and three brigades,, with per manent hoadquartrrs at Manila, Dag- upan and Iloilo or Casu will bo sub stituted in thoir stead. • The troops will be concentrated at tho three A' ■. * points solocted, abandoning all the minor posts. This change will result in an onor-t rnous saying in the transportation of supplies.and in paying' rental for barracks for tho officers/ At prosent m most of the towns, troops are quar tered iu churches, convents and pub lic and private buildings, for tho use of-which considerable rentals are paid. Iu tho majority of other casos where the troops do not occupy the public buildings, it is believed rental should bo paid for soldiers’ quarters, if their occupancy is continued, since these regions aro pacified and thoir inhabi tants have sworn allegianco to the United States. Amorlcan C a rs In Berlin, A n cient Ruins U n e a rthed., BoJlin, July 22.—A leading Berlin newspaper, thé Lokal Anzeiger, pays a.handsome compliment for tho first time to the United States, It says that in Germany tho old notion about unfair sharpness in Amorican tradors and manufacturers, is rapidly disap pearing and that German merchants prefer an American citizen to that of any other- couutry, because Americans are more honest and more’ honorable, ;'The,Borlin Street Car company is so ploariod with two American cars, sent qyer'as samples that they have ordered fifty new cars from the St. •Louis.Car company.

Tho Hydo Mercan tile company of Lynn, Mass., has been, exploring tho district near Farmington, N. M., iu search of relics and curios. Through accident at the base of high cliffs the party discover ed a palaco containing upward of 1,000 appartmeuts, somo excolleully preserved. Near the. castle another ruin of 100 rooms also was discover ed, showing thut it must have been the homo of subalterns. Inspection showed a collection of tho finest woods, hammers and uten sils of the most valuable character. The find is 6aid to be exceptionally valuable from a scientific and ethno logical standpoint aud tho govern ment has ordered experts to proceed to the scouo and make a detailed re port of the real value and extent of treasures which aro believed to ante date the tirno of the Aztec occupa tion of the country. Many rare specimens linvo been sent to the Smithsonian institution. D istress May Follow .- Inter Mountain Reported Sold. Butte, July 21.—It is again current report hero that the Intor Mountain has boon sold by Senator Mantle to tho Amalgamated Copper company, and that possession will bo givon be fore muuy weeks havo passed.

The figures of tho transac tion aro kept a profound secret, as is also tho exact date whon tho transfer of ownership will bo mado known of ficially. Another rumor that goes uloug with tho ono of sale is thut Editori John B. Read has declined to accopt employ ment under tho now regime, and will retire from Montana journalism whon tho transfer is accomplished. Free T rade for Porto Rico. Canton, Ohio, July 21.—Govornor Charles H. AUon, of Porto Rico, reached Canton.from Washington to day, attended soryico with tho prosi- deu^ and spent the remainder of tho day at the McKinley residence until 10:40 o’clock tonight, w’nou ho loft for the east.

D e legates Arriving. Boiso, Idaho, July 21.—A con siderable number of delegates to the international mining congress, which convones. in this city tho coming week, havo already arrived. Prosi- Princo, of Now Mexico, is expected tonight. A dispatch was received by one of the hotels asking fbr accom modations for a-party of 49 from Cripple Creek and vicinity.

More K a n sas Join t Sm ashers.CD Eldorado, ICan., Ju ly 21.—Seven women, hoadod by Mrs. H. H. Grover, president of the local W. C. T. U.. entered a joint run by a man named Bush in a tent in the center of tho town and demolished a tubful of bot- lled boer.

Fort Sill, O. T., July 22.—Disorder and distress will, it is feared, follow the opouiug of the Kiowa-Comancho reservation ou August 1G. It is now estimated thut fully 15,000 people will be registered for û chance to se cure ono of tho 13,000 claims to be awarded by lottery, whon tho regis tration booths close on ..July 20. Thousands of persons now on tho reservation who are neither mechanics nor artisans, and who havo little or no rnoaoy auuounco their intention of locating around Lawton if they fail to win a claim.. Campers who came\ iu prairie schoonora by tho thousands generally brought with them provisions suffi cient only to. last fivo or ton days. Coutiuuod drouth has causod tho water to bo restricted, aud for days a hot wind has blown ovor the prairies aud the temperature bus averaged ovor tho 100 murk. With those con ditions beforo them many aro already beginning to grumble, aud whon this is followod by disappointment over failure to draw a lucky numbor, tho hope that bore many up will doubtless givo way to more serious conditions. Lightning Cleaned the Chimney. Vineiaud, N. J ., July 22.—While a scoro of workmou at tho Vineland Flint Glass Furuaco sat and grum bled at tho task of cleaning out tho soot from tho great smokestack j’es- terday a Ikundorbolt performed tho duty for them iu less than a second of time. , The weather was hot aud the cleau- g out of tho stack mount sovornl days of dirty, disagreoablo work.

Commissioner of the General Land Office, of which „ the following is a brief outlino. .All petitions must be addressed to. this office, aud must bo for the town- ship in which the claim of the peti tioner lies. The nanvo of tho peti tioner must bo givon, also his post- office addresB. Tho date of sotllo-* meut nnd the . length of residence. y ■ must be stated, and the land desired ' to bo survoyed must bo described os to its class and character.. The im-f provomouts greeted and made must bo stuted in dotail, and their value must bo givon. The statements of the petitioner must bo sworn to beforo au.officor qualified by law to adminis ter oaths. Tho affidavit cunnot; as _ somo have erroneously supposed, be mado beforo postmasters. Affidavits aro usually made before a notary, o r a ‘ justico of tho peace. It has beeni fouud expedient to prepare blank pe titions, which will bo forwarded to any applicant therefor, upon request. Settlers are requested to use those blanks only, or an exact copy thereof, aud thus insure that thoir petitions „ as first mado out, aro in proper form. - Iu ordor to secure tho authorization of the Commissioner of tho General Laud Office to survey a township, a » strict compliance must bo had with : the following instructions.: “Whon tho unsurvoyod area ..in a fractional township ranges from ono ; to twolvo sections, tho application ’ and affidavit of one - settler on the lands will socaro tho authorization of tho survey. Whon from twelve to \ twonty-four sections remain unsur- . . veyed tho survey will be authorized on receipt of th o ‘ applications anti ‘ affidavits of two settlers.
