GENERAL MERRITT AND THE PHIL
IPPINEs. Gen. Merritt, it is said, may
not take the Philippine command, as
he is averse to the plans proposed,
He says the force is inadequate for che
undertaking. He has asked the War
Department for additional regular
troops. The volunteers, he claims, are
not disciplined and he declares there
will be no opportunity to train the
militia from the western States before
going into action, and that everything
depends on the Arst expedition sent
over. He says he wants force suit
able to his station, and that Gen. Otis
may be willing to make the trip to Ma
Mia with volunteer army, but he
is averse to the present arrangements.
The vacancy in the command of the
department of the East with headquar-
tiers at New York, caused by the aps
pointment of Maj. Gen. Merritt as Gov
ernor General Of the Philippines, will
be temporarily filled by Brig. Gen. R.
T. Frank, formerly colonel of the First
Artillery and commander of the arLil-
lery school at Fort Monroe.

time rain began to fall A very heavy
downpour followed, during which there
were some thunder and lightning.
There were two or three very vivid
flashes, and the electric fluid passed in
Mrs Rammel's restaurant, on Royal

The lightning had passed in on the
wire which runs the electric fan. The
fire was speedily extinguished. The
tent erected by the Salvation Army at
the northeast corner of Fairfax and
Queen streets was also struck and q
