AN ARMY OF TEN THOUSAND.
United states Troops to Hold the
Philippine Islands.

Washington. May Telegraphic or
ders have been sent to San Francisco to
engage nine steamers of the Pacific Mail
company which could transport without
difficulty an army of 10000 men. Ar
rangements have also been made to send
supply of coal if Commodore Dewey
should ask for it, but it is understood
that there are 10000 tons at Manila at
least. and good grounds to believe that
the supply is much greater. just back OF
Fort Cavite is a dock with abundant APP
paratus for ordinary ship repairs. The
principal problem. therefore, is to send
enough men to garrison the city, and it is
believed 10000 we'll equipped American
troops will be sufficient for this purpose.
/ The present plan is to take all the ma
tional guard from California, Oregon,
Washington. Idaho, Nevada, Colorado
and the far western states generally 10
these troops will be added, probably, a
regiment of regular infantry, another OF

small gun and then a 4-inch shell, Though
mile and a half away, two men could be
seen to drop, and the cavalry and in
fantry dashed pellmcl into the bushes
and up the hill There was a fine confu-
sion of horses, pack mules, cavalry and
infantry for an instant.
The Ericsson yesterday discovered a
force of men building a fort near Cojima
on the second of four or five small hills at
some distance from the shore. All the
afternoon and night the Ericsson's men
watched them at work. They made out
56 cavarymen, quartered in a plantation
house near the fort and the Ericsson ran
across the Wilmington and informed Cap
tain Todd Of what he had seen. They
will never finish it," he said; lust

the Wilmington leisurely proceeded to-
ward the coast. In less than two minutes
the fort was shapeless wreck.

Sin is the calamity of the uni
verse.
Other things being equal the
clearer the head the better the
heart
Every man who is in normal
state Of mind wishes the good opin-
ion of his fellows.
A man who lives beyond his in
come, when by economy he might
do otherwise, is a fool.
If you undertake to butt your way
through the world you will have a
sore head before you get through.
The man who spends all he makes,
and lays up nothing for rainy day,
is anything but a philosopher.
There are two kinds Of liars; those
who agree to all you say and
those who object to all you say
The former are false from kindness
the latter, from contrariness.
The wave theory applies to the
social as we'll as to the physical
world. We have waves of accidents
and calamities, waves of folly and
crime, waves of social reform and
religious revival.-Midland Meth
