Washington, May LIT is said
that the bill authorizing the enlist
ment of 100000 more troops is
drafted and will be presented to
congress as soon as the present call
for 10000 men is responded to. AS
yet this number is shy about thirty
thousand, The states have all re-
sponded with the number of regi-
ments, but the same are short of
men, and the president wants to
see them recruited to the full

Butcher Wcyler has personal rea-
sons for Directing to American inter
ventiCn in Cuba. He is a poor soldier
and a sneaking. coWardly cut throat,
but it is only due him to admit that
he is the shreWdest business man in
public life. He, through his agents, in
the past two years, bought eleven
thousand mules from the United States
and Mexico at about $50 apiece. and
then sold them through other agents to
himself as representing the Spanish
government at SIPS apiece, making a
clear profit of sos a mule. With all al
lowance for transportation and feed
insurance and labor bills, all of which
We're probably paid by the poor gov
eminent, the clear profit must have
been $500 900. Equally shrewd was his
cattle syndicate. The cattle conces-
sion was given to a concern in which
he is said to have been the chief part
ner. They bought cattle, both live anC
refrigerated, at six cents a pound an(

Were it not that we are 50 much pre-
occupied at present with our own af-
fairs, we should consider the news
from Italy most exciting. The rioting
at Milan ana elsewhere recalls the ola
days of the barricades in Paris. a
state of civil war may almost be said
to exist in Milan, and the serious ma
ture of the disturbance may be eSti-
mated from the statement that, al
though about hundred rioters Were
killed by the Government troops on
Saturday. they resumed the fighting
on Sunday, and fought as fiercely as
ever. At latest accounts the rioting
in the city had been suppressed, but
it was said that the peasants were ris-
ing in the country and the situation
was still serious. The cause Of the
outbreak is said to be hunger in
duccd by insufficient food and aggra-
waited ovcr-taxation. y recent writer
says the causes Of the ovcr-taxatiop
are many, but the principal ones are
the military cXigcncios Of the Triple
Alliance and Crispi's African policy
In other words, Italy is realizing what
it costs to be too fond Of glory.
