WAR DEPARTMENT SEND RE-ENFORCi CUMatadcr l^jteRraphi He Need* 80,- OOO Hen **in the Field** at Once-- Surgeon HcQneatin Thinks It Will Require Cvcr 100,000 Troops. President McKintey It reported by a Washington correspondent to have come to a realization of the serious situation of the American troops in the Philippines, and, as the result of a telegram which is said to have been received at the War Department from Gen. Otis, he is con­ templating sending ten regiments instead of three, as was formerly intended. The strongest argument, and the one that is believed to have turned the balance, is said to have been a dispatch recently re­ ceived from Gen. Otis, in which the lat­ ter explained that his dispatches had been misunderstood. He does not think that 30,000 men, including sick, wounded, non- combatants and garrison troops, would be sufficient, but that 30,000 "in the field" over and above all drains for other ser­ vice would be. When he captures a town he wants men to garrison it without weakening his fighting force. That is to say, he really wants 50,000 or 00,000 men in all. Preparations are being made for re­ cruiting many more for service at the Philippines. Some have expressed a dread fear that the Americans are being forced back to Manila by the climate, "and army officers are said to toe in dread of receiving news of some disaster. Anoth­ er cause given for the President's alleged change of front is the testimony of Sur­ geon McQuestin, which caused so much excitement at the War Department. Sur­ geon McQuestin declares, like all other returned officers, that the force of soldiers necessary to subdue and hold the islands has been greatly underestimated; that it will require from 100,000 to 150,000 men to accomplish the task. Last accounts a few weeks ago tell of the insurgents forc­ ing their way between McArthur's and Otis' forces. The enemy was at that time Reported to have been repulsed with loss. Since that time no news has been made public of what has happened to McAr­ thur's forces. It is evident that the in­ surgents are not so thoroughly disorgan­ ized as the first* dispatches would indi­ cate. Should the regiments spoken of be re­ cruited, all the regular troops now in the United States might be sent at once to Manila. This would give Otis about 50,- 000 men, instead of the 35,000 which will be at his disposal when the volunteers shall have returned. It is suggested that to send all the regulars to the Philippines would deplete the forces in the United States dangerously; but the plan proposed at the War Department is to use the 10,- 000 troops of the provisional army for garrison purposes here, and to call on the Governors of States for regiments of mi­ litia for temporary service in case of emergency. This would be strictly in ac­ cordance With the laiy, and at the same time it would give Otis the very best kind of men for his purposes. There are 9,000 troops now at San Francisco awaiting transportation to the Philippines. Of these 9,000 regulars, 3,500 are raw recruits. The troops will not be sent by organizations. A battalion of seasoned regulars, for instance, will go on the same transport with a lot of un­ trained recruits, so that the time preced­ ing the arrival at Manila may be devoted profitably to putting the Dew men into shape. Cleveland Strikers Seek to DMtMV Mach Valuable, Property. Mob rale held sway on the Math aid* In 'Cleveland, Ohio, Tuesday, night for more than an hour. A mob of 5,000 per­ sona attacked the Holmden avenue car bams of the Cleveland Electric Railway Company and rushed through the yard, which contained sixty cars, destroying ev­ erything in sight until driven out by the police. The mob succeeded in wrecking ten cars before being compelled to retire. Heavy timbers were driven through win­ dows and woodwork; stones and clubs were used until the cars were completely demolished. The mob had a double purpose In view; its intention was to injure as much as possible property belonging to the Big Consolidated Company and to do bodily harm to the twenty-five non-union men living at the barns. In the first it was successful, but in the second it was not, owing to the arrival of the police. The first outbreak took place at Wil­ son avenue and Quiacy street. Obstruc­ tions had been placed on the track and Motorman Webster left his car to remove them. One hundred men then began to stone him and the conductor of the car, TEXAS TOWN WASHED AWAY. Rio Grande River Higher than Known for Forty Tears. The Rio Grande is on the greatest ram­ page known for forty years. The old town of Carrizo, the county seat of Za­ pata County, Texas, was washed away by the flood of that river, not a vestige of the settlement, which had a popula­ tion of about 1,200 Mexicans, remaining. The court house and a part of the new town is threatened with destruction, and all the county records were removed. Unconfirmed reports of a number of deaths by drowning have reached Austin from points below Carrizo. The wide val- lej^on the Mexican side of the river be­ low Rio Grande City has been complete­ ly devastated, several thousand acres of irrigated crops being destroyed. The pres­ ent big flood has caused the river to change its course at several points, trans­ ferring thousands of acres of Mexican territory to the United States. At one point on the river, bordering on Hidalgo County, the river is cutting off a large tract of United States territory, and promises to land it in Mexico. Near Benevidos the river, when on a rise a few years ago, transferred a part of a Mexi­ can ranch stocked with several thousand sheep, to the Texas side of the strei*k. The United States officials made an ef­ fort to collect a duty on the sheep, but the ranch owner successfully resisted pay­ ment of the same.

New Concern Established by Capital­ ists in Canada. Steps toward the establishment of one Of. tie greatest iron and steel works in the world were taken at a meeting held in Montreal, when H. M. Whitney of Boston, president of the Dominion Coal Company, met with a number of promi­ nent Canadian capitalists. The result was the formation of the Dominion Steel Smelting Company, with a capital of $20,- 000.000. Whitney was elected president. The compauy will orect iron and steel works at Sydney, Cape Breton, which will have a capacity of from 1,000 to 1,500--tons of steel a day, and this means that at the present prices the product of the works will amount to about $9,000,- 000 a year. The site for the works has been selected. DENOUNCES MINING JOBBERS. Governor Murphy of Arizona Issues f ilined Statement. Gov.

WORRIES M'ARTHUR'S MEN. a. 9i. u. No. 30-99 Asntttnaldo's Force Is Making Petty Night Attacks. Aaruinaldo. who has taken personal com­ mand of the forces formerly led by Gen. Luna, is worrying Gen. McArthur's men with petty night attacks. Two members of the Seventeenth regulars were wound­ ed Thursday night in a skirmish with the Fiiipiuos. Gen. McArthur is of the opin­ ion that Aguinaldo is preparing to make a desperate attempt to retake San Fer­ nando. Ite-enforcements in large num­ bers have joined him in the last few days until uow he has a force of from 6,000 to ..**•&*•„ -v* .*-• * ^ ^ • < * . > < ? ' The motorman stood his ground. A riot­ er ran in front of him and threw a brick, whereupon Webster drew his revolver and fired, but missed his assailant. Other attacks were made on him, but after he had fired several shots the crowd retreat­ ed. One man received a bullet in his foot. The police then arrived. Mayor Farley issued a proclamation at noon calling for peace and order, and de­ claring that order would be restored even if he had |o resort to desperate methods. The special committee of the City Coun­ cil appointed to bring about a settlement, if possible, convened in the forenoon. Offi­ cials of the Big Consolidated and a com­ mittee from the strikers were present, and each side of the case was heard. The strikers presented their demands in writ­ ing. They are greatly modified as com­ pared with the original ones, several con­ cessions being made. " Four hundred employes of the Cleve­ land Foundry Company struck in the af­ ternoon because the company refused to discharge a man who had ridden on a Big Consolidated car. The man was a foreman. When it became known that he had ridden on a car the molders went to the officers of the company and demanded his discharge. The officers refused to comply with the demand and all the men walked out of the works. This is the first strike in the nature of a sympathy demonstration that has taken place. ~ DETECT BOLD MAIL THEFT. Wholeaale Robbery of Sacks Discov­ ered by Chicago Authorities. What is regarded by Postofflce Inspec­ tor James Stuart as one of the largest and boldest mail robberies in the history of the Chicago postofflce was detected Tuesday, and the arrests of Walter Por­ ter and John Newman, drivers of mail wagons at the postofflce, followed. Por­ ter made a full confession of the crime and implicated Newman. After a brief hearing before United States Commis­ sioner Humphrey the men were bound over to the Federal grand jury. Porter's bonds were fixed at $10,000 and New­ man's at $5,000, and in lieu of bail both men were taken to joil. A large amount of the letters, money orders and packages taken by the men was found in their lodging house. In the collection were letters, money orders and checks directed to all parts of the coun­ try and Europe. One check found in the pile was for $20,000. * The fact that the robbers had been in the employ of the Chicago postofflce since June 1 and that all the thefts were com­ mitted after that time while the prisoners were driving their wagons makes the scheme one of the boldest in the recollec­ tion of the postofflce inspectors. The mail was all taken in pouches while being car­ ried in the wagons from the postofflce to the railroad stations and back, and it has been admitted that three sacks were tak­ en in one day. MINERS SHED BLOOD. Evanaville Strikers Fire On Imported Negroes. The coal miners' strike at Evansville, Jnd., assumed a Berious aspect Wednes­ day morning. Operators of the Sunny- side mine had imported thirty negro min­ ers from Kentucky and were delivering them at the mine at 1:30 a. m., when un­ known parties concealed in bushes near the mine opened fire on the negroes. It was very dark and a stampede followed. Some of the non-union men responded with revolvers, and many shots ^ere fired. Six men were badly wounded. James Moore, bookkeeper and a stock­ holder in the mine, was shot in the back, and is likely to die. Henry Smith and John Phillips, both colored, were proba­ bly fatally shot. Ed Geiger, son of a 1<* cal merchant; Charles Smith, colored, and John Horsweather, colored, were each badly wounded. STANDARD OIL QUITS OHIO. Great Trust Will Establish Offices in Kew York. The Standard Oil Company will remove its headquarters from Cleveland, which will hereafter become a branch distribut­ ing point. When the dispatches announc­ ed recently that the Standard Oil Com­ pany had become a New Jersey corpora­ tion, with a capital of $10,000,000, it was said that the headquarters would be re­ moved to New York, but it was not thought that the company would with­ draw from Ohio entirely. For several months Attorney General Monnett has been making war upon the Standard Oil Company of Ohio and the Buckeye Pipe Line Company, an allied corporation. AMERICAN GIFT TO DREYFUS.

To Emile Zola, whose defense of the army officer led to his exile from his native country, will be given a solid gold pen, neatly engraved. To Col. Picquart, who always stood by the pris­ oner, will be presented a gold loving cup, with a richly engraved inscription. SCHLEY TO ASK FOR INQUIRY. Admiral's Conduct at SantiaKO Will Be Lookei Into. Naval officers believe that a court of inquiry should be appointed to ascertain definitely Rear Admiral Schley's conduct in the naval battle off Santiago. The statements of Lieutenaut Commanders Hodgson and Heilner have reopened the controversy, and in the opinion of many naval officers brings the case "up to Schley." Secretary Long may order an inquiry, but the rear admiral's friends bo* lieve be will ask for one. ' '.-Tcsx. - %$r..

From some of the newer countries, so-called on account of the lack of defi­ nite knowledge regarding them, re­ ports of strange freaks and curiosities constantly appear, and as a rule they are laughed at, but once in a while they turn out to be the truth. It is this way with a strange freak of nature called the bulrush caterpillar, which is indigenous to New Zealand. This report, which stated that at certain seasons a large black caterpillar would bury itself in the ground aud be con­ verted into the root of a bullrush, was laughed at, like the rest; but now an English scientist, who recently gave an exhaustive investigation of the strange phenomenon, stated that in many respects the statements are strictly true. From his report it has been learned that the caterpillar grows to about three and one-half inches long, and when about to assume the chrysa­ lis state buries Itself in the ground, and in doing so it is frequently Infected by the spores of some fungus, which be­ comes Involved in the scales In its neck. These the larvae is unable to expel, and the vegetation thus set up rapidly extends throughout the entire body, replacing each animal cell thus destroyed by vegetable matter, and finally converting it into a compara­ tively dense vegetable structure, which retains every detail of the body, even to the legs, mandibles and minutest claw. From the neck, the portion thus Infected, there then shoots up a single stem, which grows to the height of eight or ten inches, resembling very closely the club-head bullrush in minia­ ture. It has no leaves, and if the first stem be broken off another rises in its place, though two stems never grow simultaneously from the same "eater- pillar."--Philadelphia Record. Major Goneral Drayson, of tbe Bn- gltsb army, baa made a special study of gift of breathing, and is now free from congha, colds, sore throat and other ailments from which he suffered as a young man. Ho declares food and liquid insignificant In comparison with air In the support of life. A man may Jive for days without food, but he dies In a few minutes without air. Rapid breathing In pure air, making forty or ttfty deep inhalations per minute (the jilsual number is about twenty), is his panacea for the immediate recovery from headache, toothache, pains in the heart, restlessness and Sleeplessness. He recommends for the latter walking about the room, to make sure of not breathing the same air a second time. He considers It an advantage in some cases to place a handkerchief over the nostrils, and filter the air as it passed through the lungs, then forcing It through the mouth. By continued lack of proper oxidation the blood becomes permanently bad, and tissue. of the same character is formed from it, with the result of impairing the health.-- Presbyterian Banner. An Important,Decision. A notable decision was rendered re­ cently in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern District of Cali­ fornia, making. permanent an injunction obtained by the California Fig Syrup Company restraining .the defendant par­ ties "from making, using or selling any liquid laxative -medicine marked with the name 'Syrup of Figs.' or 'Fig Syrup,' or any colorable imitation of the same." The decision also protects the California Fig Syrup Company against imitation of their wrappers, boxes and symbolical designs used in connection with their famous laxa­ tive. The decision i^'of the greatest value, not only to manufacturers bf proprietary articles, but to the public generally, as it adinns that the valuable reputation ac­ quired by an article of merit will be pro­ tected by the courts, and that the party who builds the reputation J>y extensive and legitimate advertising is entitled to the full fruits of his enterprise.

The town of Bethlehem Is shaped in the form of a crescent, descending, ter­ race by terrace, the side of the hill on which it is built. On one of these ter­ races are grouped the massive build­ ings of the Latin and Greek convents, between which stands the basilica, charhiing the eye by the peculiar grace of its lines. All the houses are distinct­ ly Jewish in api>earauce, with fiat roofs capped by ctij>olas. and many of them have pointed archways which offer pleasant places for repose in honrs of sun or shade. , ..w1 This creeping of the houses down into the very gardens of the valley heightens wonderfully the beauty of the landscape; while in the Ivackgrouml toward the Dead Sea the mountains of Moab tower majestically above the gentle undulations of hill and vale. Every feature of this never-to-be-for­ gotten scene Is full of sacred signifi­ cance.

H WOMAN'S DEVOTION TO HOME "OME duties to many women seem more important than health. ^ No matter how ill they feel, they drag themselves " A T through the daily tasks and pile up trouble. This is heroic but a penalty has to be paid. A woman in New Matamoraa, Ohio, Mrs. Isabell Bradfield, tells in the following letter how she fought with disease of the feminine organs until finally forced to take to her bed. She •ays: " Dear Mrs. Pinkham--I feel it my duty to write to yon to - tell you that I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- ' pound and think there is no medicine in the world like it. I' Klj suffered for nine years, and sometimes for twelve weeks at *; time I could not stand on my feet. I had female troubles of all kinds; backache, and headache all the time. Seven different doctors treated me. Some saidk I wouM have to go to the1 hospital arnf * have an operation performed. Bnt ohfj how thankful I am that I did not, that I tried your Vegetable Com** pound instead. I cannot say >; • too much in its praise, tiot thank you enough for what it T ^ f has done for me.
