The following article we clip from the Hot Springs Daily News.
 The News learns that Mir. Fin Parker received telegram this morning from his son, Lieut.. Wesley Parker, of Capt. Wootten s company, stating that the First Arkansas Regiment has been or dered to San Francisco at once, to go with Gen. Merritt to the Phillip pine Islands. Capt. Woottens company is the first company in the regiment Our boys are thus taken a long ways from home and may have to remain in these distant islands a year or two, and may be longer. From San Francisco they will have a long, tiresome and dangerous sea voyage to reach Mania,
 The Jefferson Feneibles are also part of the First Arkansas Regi- inert.

and yet there were no prepara- tions for it.
Corn and Hogs.

Philosophers sometimes make queer deductions Here now is Mir c. Wood Davis, a learned gentleman and expert in food stuffs and population. arguing in The Forum that the increased use of cottonseed oil as an article of human food and If cottonseed meal as an ani- maj food has brought down the price of corn one-fourth and diminished the number of hogs i'll the country one-third.
 If MT. Davis had kept up with the history of domestic animals i'll the Union, he would have found first that in the panic year and in the years i'm mediately following the price of pork. like all other farm products, fell so low that agriculturists became discouraged and ceased to raise hogs. That de- creased their number heavily, just as the number of sheep horses and beef cattle fell eff from the same cause. That added to the immepae corn crops for three years of course brought down the price of this cereal.
 Then when the times became a shade better and hogs were in active demand another cause broke loose which re duoed their number. even lower. That was bog cholera In 1896 some of the western states lost millions of dollars from this cause. It is and has been the shortness of the crop of live stock of nearly all kinds, especially bee4es, sheep and hogs that made the price of corn low. It is not likely either that corn will be fed to hogs again as 1t used to be. The market demand, especially the export demand, in pork is for a pig that has much more lean meat shan corn will produce. This lean must be made by other foods than corn. The thing to do with our greatest cereal crop is to develop 0 market for corn bread, grits and hominy in Europe and Asia.

Gen. Alger's Statement.

The Chicago Chronicle very properly takes issue with those who hold to the opinion that the war will end as soon as the United States troops invade Cuba and cap ture the city of Santiago de Cuba. The Chronicle has this to say about the matter.
 ''The Spanish fleet under Gevera will be eliminated from the contest. But the Spanish warships are al ready rendered powerless. The strategists wanted us to believe that the sinking of the Merrimac at the harbor entrance was the final turning of the key of Imprisonment. We may now sink or destroy Ger vera's warships and plant the stars and stripes on Santiagos strong hold, but what then2
 i've will have captured one out of several fortified cities on the is- land of Cuba From strategical point Of view 1t will not even be an important capture, save for the de- struction o. the Spanish fleet, which was already PQWerless without the army of invasion.
 ''If we are spill to attack Havana the plans of invasion must proceed on practically u e same lines as if Santiago were not holding one of our armies of occupation. The Ha vana defenees have been vastly strengthened by the delay of the last six weeks and Blanco is pre- pared to make a stouter resistance than ever. before. If we approach Havana from the laud side, forming functions with the insurgents for that purpose, we will encounter the deadlest portion of the rainy sea- son unless the attack is postponed until autum If We lombard Ha- vana with the strongest vessels of our fleet we tardily follow the com mon-seGse plan that was as feasible at the beginning of the war as now
 ''The fact cannot be disputed that the war will be prolonged for six moeths and perhaps year, as re- suit of the failure of this govern ment to deal a crushing and decisive blow in Cuba within ten days after war had been declared, but thls was not done for the reason, which Secretary Alger now admits, the country was not prepared for hos tilities with even so weak a country as SpMn, and an immediate advance on Cuba was out of the ques tion. Moved by the criticisms of the press Secretary Alger promises to make statement regarding the delay in starting the army of occupation which will show the immense am cunt of work the war department has done and the magnitude of the task which confronted it when wa~ was declared. He declares, however, that in less time than fortnight the entire army, regulars and vol unteers, will be thoroughly armed and equipped and ready for active war service. This is in effect an admission that at the time war was declared the government did not have on hand sufficient equipment to enable its little standing army Of 25,0 men to take the field, al- thonGh a year ago the whole country knew that war with Spain over the Cuban question was inevitable
