San Francisco, May 31-Today was q
day of promotions and rumors of promo
lions at the artillery camp. The most
important rumor Is that Captain Young
is to be promoted to the rank of major,
and has been unofficially notified of the
fact.
The captain himself branded the story
as pure rumor. but when saying it he
blushed as deeply as he did when Gov
ernor Wells presented him with the
guidon at Camp Kent. 1t is evident that
he does not wish to confirm the rumor
until it is officially announced. Other
officers have been heard to congratulate
him on his promotion and to refer to MIN MN
sition to know vouchsafed the opinion
that the rumor was tire.
There will be promotions all along the
line in case Captain Young is promoted,
and all the officers are full of expecta-
tions. One second lieutenant will have
to be chosen from the ranks, and the
boys stand firm in their desire to have
Sergeant Scott Wells chosen.
Scott Wells was this morning offered a
position on the staff of General Merritt,
but he refused to accept it.
When interviewed by The Herald CORE
spondent he said: II joined the troops
as a Utah volunteer, and desire to stay
with them. If 1 accepted this position,
II would be great snap. The pay would
be much greater, the food the finest in
the land. / could get acquainted with the
commanders, but it would ALLEVIATE me
from the Utah boys, and I'd rather stay
in the ranks, living on field rations, than
leave them to join snap on the COM
mcnder'S staff"
The position offered him was secretary
at headquarters. 1t is not decided yet
who will fill the position, but it is very
likely that J. Tikon Donnellan. the

the staff of General Merritt

Buckle On Spain.

Boston Journal: Do you remember
what Buckle wrote of Spain? There
she lies at the further extremity of the
continent, a huge and torpid mass, the
only representative now remaining of
the feelings and the knowledge of the
middle ages. And. what is the worst
symptom of ALL she is satisfied with
her own condition. Though she is the
most backward country in Europe, she
believes herself to be the foremost. She
is proud of everything of which she
ought to be ashamed. She is proud of
the antiquity of her opinions. proud of
the strength of her faith, proud of her
Unreasonable and childish credulity,
proud of her unwillingness to amend
either her creed or her customs, proud
of her hatred of heretics and proud of
the undying vigilance with which she
has baffled their efforts TO obtain a full
and legal establishment on her soil.''

ARMS FOR THE NATIVES.
Fifteen Thousand Insurgents Will
Cooperate With Dewey.


New York, May S1.--A dispatch from
Manila to the Herald, via Hongkong.
says: The Philippine insurgents re-
ceived last Tuesday 1000 Mauser
breech-loaders and 100000 rounds of
ammunition, and have been busy ever
since in getting their men together.
General Aquinaldo said today that he
had $500 Mausers captured from the
Spaniards, which, with the rifles just
captured. will enable him to arm de-
tachment equal to the Spaniards now
in the province of Cavite.
About two miles back of the town of
Cavite, General Aquinaldo also has five
modern breech-loading field pieces,
with a moderate supply OF common
field shells and shrapnel.
The men of General Aquinaldo's force
are of small stature and look as though
they had not had enough to eat for a
long time, but they are very wiry and
tough. Two of them whom / noticed
were carrying a heavy forge and bel
lows slung on pole, and two others
were similarly laden with large anvil,
and four of them carried a bench with
two vises. They had taken a field gun
from one of the sunken Spanish cruz
sers and were trying to make it fit for
service, showing marvellous patience
and perseverance.
There must be something out of the
common about their leader, General
for whereas four weeks ago
there were not 100 persons in Cavite
after the Spaniards moved out, there
are now more than $500 men capable
of bearing arms, most of whom have
assembled since General Aquinaldo's
arrival If they capture the Spaniards
and arms, General Aquinaldo will be
able to take the field with more than
), 600. He tells me his force is limited
only by the number of rifles he can
get But many of the native soldiers
in Manila will desert to him as soon as
he attacks that place
The success of the recent expedition
that brought the insurgents supply
Of rifles will result in larger shipments
within the next two weeks and General
Aquinaldo is confident of having $4,000
men in the field before July 1.
Admiral Dewey still holds Manila by
the throat, and the Spaniards are I'M
able to escape from Manila 1t is i'm
possible to get definite news from the
city, but the anxiety of Europeans
there as conveyed through foreign con-
suls shows how critical must be the
situation.
The health of the officers and men
continues to be good in spite of the
severe heat and humidity. The natives
now bring off a plentiful supply of
chickens. eggs. mangoes, bananas and
L few pine apples, but nothing else.
