WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Tremendouy
pressure is still being brought to bear on
the war department to have more troops
mustered out Of the service. Efforts in
this direction, however, are Of no avail, It
.s announced today with much emphaas
that there will be no more troops mustered
out. The situation does not admit OF any
further reduction in the army and efforts
are being made to put those volunteers who
are retained in the service as near as pos

of independence among the troops and to

KAISER WILLIAMS VISIT TO AUSTRIA

SPECIAL 70 TIE HERALD.

BERLIN, Sept. 13.-At the ministry Of
foreign affairs 1; Is officially declared that
the way TO an International compact
against anarchists has been paved. An
agreement has also been reached between
Berlin, Petersburg, Vienna and Rome and
the presence Of the German emperor at the
funeral Of the assassinated empress OF
Austria will undoubtedly hasten the taking
of drastic international measures agains:
the lawless elements Of all European coun-
tries. That thorough business under
standing in this matter has existed be-
tween Kaiser Wilhelm and Gear Nicholas
ever since tho assassination Of President
Carno; is well known fact That no
definite action was taken against the an
archists at the time was due to the apathy

Protectorate
HAVANA, Sept. 13.-The presence OF
Robert P. Porter, who is in Havana on a
special commission for the United States
government to study the economic and
financial aspects Of the situation, Is re-
garded with suspicion by the party OF free
cuba as indicating the establishment OF an
American policy Of guardianship.
Mr.. Porter is preparing revision OF the
Cuban tariff. which will probably be pro-
tective Of Cuban industries, and is ac-
ouainting himself with every detail OF To-
cal taxation. In this work he Is assisted by
a capable staff. For the present his efforts
are only preliminary, as until after the
definite settlement Of peace 1t will be I'M
possible to establish the new regime. But
his efforts and inquiries, taken together
with the announcement that the American
troops will be sent later to occupy the
island-which has hitherto been doubted by
many-have had the effect of provoking
protests from the more rabid Cubans, who
are holding meetings and adopting resolu-
tions against "encroachments upon our
rights as citizens Of free and independent
republic of Cuba by the establishment OF
an American protectorate."

sad indeed the result of solitary life i'm
pr!sonment.
One man. the perpetrator Of a series of
murders In the mountains, has been In a

completely lost his reason. The governor
Of the prison confessed that In view of this
and other similar cases his view of capital
punishment had undergone a complete
change. and that he was now strongly in
favor Of the death penalty.
Mr.. Ridgeley the American Consul here
was Informed tonight by Cabinet officer
that It would please the Geneva authori-
ties to send the assassin to Austria for
trial II 1t can be done under the constitu-
ton. Had the crime been committed In
the private apartments of the Empress in
stead Of on the public street extradition
would have been possible.
Upon sentence Of life Imprisonment the
assassin will be placed in a small dark
cell from which he will never emerge. and
Will be fed just enough to enable him to
support life.

The American and British firms are

goods are entering Manila by railway

Admiral Dewey has seized all OF
AguinaldO's steamers and trouble is
likely as a result.
The natives who follow the standard
OF the insurgent leader are Indignant
and have assumed a threatening att!-
tude because Of what they term the
high-handed acts Of the Americans.
The health OF the American troops
Is good, the only ailments being those
to which Europeans are subject when
not accustomed to this climate.
The rations, according to the army
standard. are of good quality. but the
soldiers, who have been used TO better
fare at home, are complaining to some
extent. The boys continue happy, but
they are anxious TO return home.
Lots Of fun has been furnished the
soldiers by baseball contests for silver
cups given by business houses. In
these contests the Utah team defeated
the Fourteenth regulars and South Da-
kota routed Minnesota. Colorado bat
tied manfully with Nebraska. but the
game was called.
