LONDON', Dec. 1.
"Sews that the Husslans have entered
Bulgaria has aroused Intense Interest, and
'thcro is much speculation as to tho next
development," Itcutcr's correspondent at
Bnlonlca telegraphs. "It Is expected," the
dispatch continues, "this move will have
& far-reaching effect on the Internal sit
uation of Hlilgarla, and will modify the
nholo aspect of affairs In the Hulknns."
No direct and speclllc conllrmation has
been received in London of this message.
It Is recalled, lion ever, that last week
Emperor Nicholas was said to have prom
ised Premier I'achltch, of Serbia, the ap

AUSTRIAN Pt.AO OVKU MONASTIH.
A dispatch to the Chronicle from Sa
lonlca suys:
;Tho long struggle for Monastlr Is
tnded. The Serl)Ians evacuated tho town
'and their positions in front nf It during
the forenoon, and the Au.tro-Germans
took possession nt 3 o'clock Thursday, i
The position had rca'ly been rendered un- I
tenable by the pievlous occupation by :
the llu:r.ariaus of Kcnali, on the railway
between lionnstlr anl thc'Gicok frontier.
This cut off the Serbian retreat south
ward and only left open tho route lead
' Ins eastward
'Colonel Vnssltch's nrmy Is rotirlng by
that route Tho forco which occupied
Monastlr was mostly Austrian and Ger
man, and the Austrn-IIutigtirlnn (Iiit was
hnlsted over the town. Great credit for
the long and heroic defense of the town
Is due to Colonel HovndJItch. who placed
himself at the head of a body nf 400
comltadjis. Whenever It was necessary
for the Serb forces to ictire, th's gallant
little forco held the enemy whllo Iho
main body reached safe positions.
"In their night and day week-end bat
tle, the gallant 100 lost heavily, and Tues
day only 100 of them remained. Three
hundred of this little phalanx of heroes
bad perished, but they hnd saved the
6erb army, had enabled some relnforce
mcnls to come up, nnd had greatly pro
longed the brilliant little campaign of tho
rmy of Monastlr."
Two thousand more Serhlnns hnve been
captured In battles In the Hnlknus,
the Uerhn AVnr Olllco announced today.
The following report on operations In tho
Balkan theatre of war wns Issued: "Hat

WASHINGTON. Dec. t.-I.oadcd with
Information galncil by visits to the Phil
ippine Islands during the last Kopubtl
enn Adm'nlstrntlnn and the present Dem
ocratic Administration, Itcpresentntlvc C.
It. Mliler, of Minnesota, today announced
his Intention to make a series of speeches
ln Congress for tho purpose of showing:
Thpt nnti-Atnerlcnn feeling among the
l.ntlvcs has been encouraged nnd loyalty
discouraged by the elevation of dlsttubers
to olllco.
The tiast achievements of Americans
have been discredited and the nntlves
taught scant respect for American peo
ple and Institutions.
Th-it graft Is rampant among tho na
tive oflk'oholders, who have stolen pub
lic lands and rilled the malls.
Thnt tho great sanitary work of Ameri
cans has been undone, nnd that disease
Is allowed to spread unchecked In many
lands.
That wholesale pardons given by po
litical Influence have mined the penal
colony fNpcrlmcnt.
Thnt news, especially from tho Moro
provinces. Is censored and true condi
tions concealed by tho Government.
That Filipinos have been put over the
Morns who protest In vnln that they want
only white men over them.
That business Is stagnant and capital Is
leaving ths Islands.
Hopicsontntlve Miller, who Is generally
regarded as the best-posted Republican
In the House on the Philippines. Is co
operating with Minority Lender James It.
Mnnn In the effort to defeat any attempt
on the jmrt of the Democrats to put
through u Philippine Independence law.
Mo believes that much of tho progress
made townid ultimate Independence 1ms
been wasted by the present Administra
tion. "From n generous Impulse." snid Mr.
Miller, "the American people started out
to give the Filipino the best government
American genius was callable of devising,
and at the same time to educate thoso
people for self-government.
"Fifteen years of effort produced tre
mendous success In nil directions, save
perfecting the capacity for setf-Kovern-ment.
These years of experience clearly
revealed that perfected capacity for self
government. Instead of being realized In
years, would require generations. How
ever, advancement would be constant and
evolution unfaltering.
ASSAILS HARRISON'.
"Then came tho regime nf Governor
General Francis Burton Ilnrrlsou. Armed
with Hrynn'H Philippine theories and mis
information and personal Ignorance of
'no l'uiuppines, Harrison lanueii in .Ma
nila In October, 1!U3. I wns there when he
arrived and witnessed tho (treat out
pouilng of natives, who Joyously Inaugu
rated him. I was there this summer and
Instantly observed a complete change ln
the general attitude of the Filipino. For
merly nil were rejoicing; now everywhere
tho situation Is strained; suspicion,
ominous at times, arising. Fierce blows
nre received nnd given.
"At once the Governor General pro
ceeded to knock down the governmental
structure. N'ot Attlla of the Huns not
'"heodorle of the Goths ever laid such
destructive hands upon human Institu
tions. The result Is complete govern
mental chaos. Today one looks In vain
to Hud responsible government In the
Philippines; It Is not there.
"There are some conscientious, cnpablo
Filipinos holding olllce, hut a great many
of the appointments wero criminally un
wise. All the elements among tho Fili
pinos thnt nre pro-American, Including
thoso who aro for American retention,
wero speedily eliminated from the gov
ernment and shut up by methods that re
mind us of the middle ages. Apparently
choice consideration wns given those few
Filipinos who had been openly, noto
riously hostile to the United States.
"TJio Governor General publicly taught
the natives to discredit all America had
done for them In the past. If the Fili
pinos aro rapidly growing disloyal, even
hostile, to America, we have no one to
blame but ourselves, because our own
high olllclal during the last two years
has taught nnd rewarded that attitude.
SAYS LANDS ARK STOLKN.
"About half tho land area of the Island
Is Government land, and this Is tho richer
half, too. All the Immense forests belong
to tne Government. A splendid land and
forestry department has been built up.
The land department wns one of the first
objects of attnek. A Filipino director
began the villainous work. He had not
i,.,o,. i ,, vr when It was charged he
had stolen 50"0 acres of the best land and
had obtained lana ror viriuuiiy u U(
his relatives, even going so far as to
change records lir tho ofllce that he or
his relatives might get a particular tract.
This condition Is generally known.
'Was he prosecuted? No, Indeed. He
belonged to the right political party. Ho
was allowed to reslsn, and tho Governor
General, In accepting his resignation, gave
him one of tho finest professional testl
monlala one ever read. It wns sent to
America in this form and Washington
was led to believe our Government had
lost the services of one of the most ex
cellent, officials.
"It would be Interesting to know what
becomes of the money appropriated for
municipal Improvements. I was told
many times by those whoso duty It Is to
know how money Is spent that of lato
a common practice Is for the officials to
do as little as possible of municipal work
and appropriate all the rest to salaries.
One man was pointed out to me who had
raised his own salary three times in one
month.
I wonder if the American people can
believe what the postofflce situation In
tho Philippines js like? The man who is
said to be the best secret service man
in the islands told me (hat virtually
all the petty officials and some that were
not so petty were grafting. In nearly
every papsr one picked up thero was
some Hera about tome postal emptoya
who had been arrested or was being
tried for robbing the malls. Some of the
cases involved losses of several thousand
dollars.
"I know from personal experience that
the muny persons were right who ald
nobody's mall waa safe Most of my let
ters, and there were scores pf them,
uever reached their destloaUona."

ATLANTIC CITV, Dec. I. Armies of

building opt rations that will put nearly
$!.'.0CO,O09 In circulation and change At
lantis City's beach skyline are dally
demonstrating winter visitors how At
lantic City manages to keep Itself hi
the front rnnk of pleasure resorts. The
new 12-story lludnir. where the steel
work Is going up rapidly, will cost Gift
(00. The equally tall new front of the St.
Charles, In the next beach-front block,
will cost as much more. The six-story llre
proof addition to tho Hotel Strand,
owned by George Allen, a Pbllndclpliinu,
represents an Investment of $.100,000. The
new steel anil concrete Piddle business
block, In front of the Strand, will cost
between fOO.WO anil $73,000.
F.very one ot these structures and many
smaller improvements are being put
through with the settled conviction that
Atlantic City, If it Is not so already, with
most of the Boardwalk hosted lea well
filled, Is going to bo nil all-lhe-yenr
resort of one continuous season. Jinny
recall when the town was nlmost empty
of visitors In November, while tho month
Just ended bus been the biggest of record,
thanks to "war order" prosperity.
There Is a cheering note for summer
visitors, cottagers particularly, in letters
written by some ot tho foremost men of
tho city, commending the systematic
work that has been done by the Atlantic
City Mosquito Kxtermlnatlon Commis
sion, a body composed ontiiely of physi
cians. All of the latter agree that At
lantic City and Chelsea had fewer mos
quitoes last summer than In any prior
season, and thero Is a general agreement
that the county should continue to spend
public funds liberally against the day
when Atlantic City will be a "mosquito
less paradise." Reports show that to date
about 12,000 acres of the wide stretch of
marsh separating Atlantic City from tho
mainland have been drained by ditches,
destroying breeding places and turnlns

Soltbrecht publishes the following ns the
text of the manifesto.
"There never wns liberty In Austria,
nnd since tho war began what we have
been submitting to Is terrlbte. Thcro is
no constitutional justice and the execu
tioners have a lot of work to do.
"When the civilized world lenrns whit
Is really happening In Austria it will shud
der with horror. We don't want to dwell
upon the long series ot death sentences
passed upon Czech cltlens, but we will
speak of the sentences Inflicted upon So
cialists simply for exchanging Socialistic
Ideas.
"I.opger has been hnnged for publish
ing a brochure demanding peace. Thnt Is
how tlie Austrian Government, which pre
tends to combat liarhnilty, Is nctlng. Wo
summon foreign aid to save us. Austrian
subjects have become slaves. Wo nro
forced to be enthusiastic Czechs. Italians
nnd Slavs aro forced to bo 'patriots.'
"From ministry to policemen nil tho
members of tho Government are swin
dlers. That Is particularly the case ln
Bohemia.
WANT Al'STUIANS HUATK.V.
"Wo don't want to see Austria victor
ious. We want ti sec her beaten. Tho
(.Internment declares that the war has
liberated Poland, but to what end7 Now
It wants Poland put under Hapsburg dic
tatorship. "Only thiough the downhill of tho
houso of llnpsburg can Austria continue
to live nnd democratic Ideas tiluniph.
"Tho shameful ultimatum to .-'crbla

Parliament had existed.
'Tho llapslnlrgs wanted to do to Serbia

cratic republic. Let the Government dare
ask the people what they think of imr.
We don't want war. We want i evolution.
After the war wo shall Imitate the
French, who found n way to a republic
through revolution."
The manifesto dechues that the annexa
tion of ltelglnn or French soil would he
a crime, and says that Austria Is suf
fering so terribly from tho war that she
will lie the first nation ruined by It.

A dispatch from Switzerland quotes
Italian reports telling of extremely violent
fighting on the Isanzo, particularly In tins
assaults on tho OorlU bridgehead, which
nro especially violent and sanguinary
near Oslnvln, northwest of Gorltz, where
tho attacks havo continued without In
terruption for nine days and nights, tho
lliillans hoping to break through tho
whole lino of the Austrian defense nt this
point. Their losses nre described as ter
rible, tho bodies of the dead lying In
heaps on the field.
Tho sufferings of the campaign hare

heaviest snowstorms. The men nre forced
to llo down to avoid being blown over
tho rocks nnd many havo fallen and havo
been sccrely Injured.
According to dispatches from Vienna,
thero was a lull In the fighting yesterday,
dun partly to a heavy fog, which impeded

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Thc British
Kmbassy has notified the Trade Ad
visors ot the State Department that the
embargo on tho exportation of dyestuffs
from Dcrmany and neutral countries had
been lifted. This modification of the Order
In Council decree, It Is believed, will lead
to the exportation of sufficient dyes to tho
United States to iclleve tho scarcity
which has prevented tho operation of
many American Industries.
Oermnny, however, some months ago.
In retaliation for England's attitude In
blockading trade to neutral countries, an
nounced she would not allow nny more
dyesluffs or potash to leave that country
until American boats were allowed to
carry cotton direct to flcrmnn ports, Jt
Is not known whether tho position of
Oermnny has changed ln this respect, but
developments ln Congress, It Is declared,
will lead to prompt notion which will
break down tho blockade Knglnnd Is now
maintaining ngalnst cotton, nnd which
the ITnitcd States icfilbcs to recognize as
legal.
