CHICAGO, May l6.-A special from

issue another call for 100, 600 volunteers

Representative James Hamilton Lewis
of Washington, as he was leaving the

vide the question and issue another
call later. At the time the first call
was issued, it was not contemplated
that we would take the Philippines

volunteers."

seems to disprove thoroughly the pub
hshed reports that they had already
entered Manila and had begun career
of bloodshed and rapine. The best
evidence of the effectiveness OF the
blockade maintained by the American
admiral and also Of the work Of the in-
surgents in surrounding the city is
shown in the statements in the dis
patches that provisions are scarce in
the city Of Manila, which seems to in.
dicate to Commodore Dewey an early
surrender by the Spanish authorities.
Another published report seems also to
be refuted by the admiral advices,
and that is that the rebels had raided
Cavite, where the Spanish naval sta
ton was located and where presumably
large supplies Of arms and ammunition
were kept. If the rebels have been
supplying themselves with arms it

of 500, ,OO0, 600, and a lot of islands inhabited
mainly by maneaters. And the most dis

Almost all married men and fathers know
how frequently their wives and daughters
get in nervous fits over the loss or mislay-
ing OF their precious valEables. An i'm
mense amount Of domestic and business
anxiety, too, could be prevented if the ad-
vantageous thing known as a safe deposit
box was made the possession of the men,
bers of a family. \ years rent of such a
box is a mere nothing, when the safety ii
insures is considered. and such a gift would
mean a year of nerve rest to many of the
stronger sex ii they would present it to
their weaker relatives. The American Sc
curity and Trust Company affords admir-
able opportunity for solving this problem.
