Great excitement was caused in Camp Merritt late yesterday evening by the re- port that five instead of three transports will compose the next expedition to Manila, and that 5000 instead of 25OO troops would be sent. From officers who are in a position to know it was learned that such a thing is highly probable. There are several facts that lend to the rumor the color of good faith.

Interest at the hotel. Mr.. Lopez said that
no instructions had yet been received from
the Philippine government, but these were
expected very soon, as guide to the future
movements OF the delegates.
When Mr.. Lopez was asked as to the re-
ports that the Filipinos were soliciting help
from European governments. he declared
that such reports were utterly unfounded
and unjust. They were acting in the most
perfect good faith with the American au-
thorities. AS an evidence of this, he cited
the fact that the German consular officer
on the island had requested conference
with Aguinaldo but that leader had re-
fused to grant the conference.
Mr.. Lopez also characterized as unwar-
ranted the stories that Germany was Sc
cretly equipping the Philippine insurgents.
In order to bring about international dis

Cuba, the first under the command Of
Major-General Wade, to leave in October,
and the second division, under Major-Gen-
oral Fitzhugh Lee, to leave In November.
Each division will embrace about 10000
men, so that the plan is to have some 1900
troops in Cuba or on the way there within
the next sixty days. 1t Is not contem-
plated, however, that any large number
Of this force should be assembled at any
one point In this country or in Cuba. 1t Is
desired to keep them scattered, as they can
thereby be handled to better advantage.
From the fact that they go to Cuba, 1t does
not mean that they will proceed directly
to Havana. On the contrary, the outlook
is that there will be very few troops at
Havana, the bulk of them being scattered
through the western end Of the island as
garrisons at small towns, thus gradually
putting into effect the military occupation

FOUL PLAY FEARED
Spain Making Bid for Support in
ElrOpe


WASHINGTON, Sept. q. - The freedom
with which the Spanish minister of foreign
affairs, the Duke Almodovar del Rio, has
given publicity to the instructions to the
Spanish peace commissioners as to the dis
position of the Philippines has given rise
to the suspicion among the officials here
that there is behind 1t a deliberate purpose
to draw out In advance the position of the
American commissioners on this import
ant point. 1t is noted now that heretofore
the Spanish government has waited upon
the United States government to make
each step toward final peace before making
a move on their side, SO that this sudden
change in policy Is accounted for only on
the grounds stated.
There Is besides this apparent purpose a
|veiled threat In the last instruction, not
under any circumstances to allow the
United States to interfere with any dispo-
sition of the Islands outside OF those re-
tained by the United States, such as Luzon,
that Spain may see f1t to make This Is
believed to be an invitation to some con-
tinental power to step forward in support
of Spain in this extremity In the hope of re-
ceiving as quid pro quo some one Of the
Philippines as coaling or naval station.

A BALL IN HIS BRAINS
8. B. STARBIRD COMMITS SUICIDE
AT SAN DIEGO
Had Become Feeble in Mind as Well as
in Body-The Gage and Barnes
Meetings

SAN DIEGO, Sept T.-S. B. Starb.rd,
aged u years, who had been resident OF
this city for the past ten years, committed
suicide last night at his daughters home
in this city by shooting himself with
revolver. He had been an invalid for sew
eral years, and within the last two years
had suffered six strokes of apoplexy. He
had made several threats to take hts life,
and a month ago his son took a revolver
away from him, with which the old mar
undoubtedly intended to end his existence.
There was no one present when he shot
himself, and when his daughter returned
homo she found her father almost dead.
Physicians were summoned, but death took
place beofe they arrived. Mr.. starbird
was a Mason and Knight Templar. under
whose auspices the funeral services will
be conducted.
Gage-Barnes Meetings
A large audience attended the Gage
Barnes meeting in this city last night, and
both speakers devoted the major par. of
their time to personal abuse of Judge Ma
guire. Cages statement that he was the
sworn enemy of the Southern Pacific COM
pany amused the audience, while Barnes
speech was a curious mixture, in which
personalities and invectives abounded and
feeling, not reason, was appealed to. He
dismissed the money question as dead
issue and the glaring abuses Of corporate
monopoly were carefully avoided. 1t was
a masterpiece of evasion, and as such was
understood by a large majority Of the au-
dience.

A RURAL POLICE FORCE
WILL KEEP ORDER IN SANTIAGO
PROVINCE
Cubans Petition for the Removal Of an
Archbishop Of Strong Pro-
Spanish Sympathies

NEW YORK, Sept. "a dispatch to the
Herald from Santiago de Cuba says:
General Wood has formally completed
the Organization of a rural police force
for Santiago province. 1t is based on the
Mexican rural system. half civil and half
military. There will be mounted privates
with non-commissioned officers and the
lower grades of officers, Cubans and offic-
ers of the higher grades Americans.
The arms they will have are machetes
carbines and revolvers Recruits must pass
strict physical and mental examination
and must be of good character and take
the oath acknowledging the supremacy
of the United States. Soldiers Of the Gu
ban army who voluntarily surrender their
arms, take the oath and pass the examina-
ton, will have the preference. The force Is
to be broken up in detachments, stationed
in the central part of each district of the
province. Each detachment will be I'M
der the command of an American officer
Recommendations for the establishment
of the force were drawn up and submit
ted to Washington. Colonel Hood of the
Second Immunes will be offered the COM
mand with the rank of Colonel, but 1t Is
scarcely probable that he will accept.
Owing to the strcng animosity shown
by the archbishop of Santiago during the
war, more than hundred prominent Gu
bans today presented q petition to Gen.
eral Wood praying that representation be
made to the Vatican for his removal and
for the appointment of Father Luis Mus
TELLER, canon Of the church here, as his
successor.
Father Mustellier has sympathy for the
Cubans and is we'll liked In the United
States by Cardinal Gibbons and Arch
bishop ireland.
Strong representations have been made
by Father Mustellier to General Wood re-
garding the status of the church In the
province. He stated that the property held
amounted to more than sufficient to cover
all ecclesiastical expenses and even to
contribute to the state besides. He also
proposed a scheme for the establishment
of parochial primary schools under church
management.
Little doubt is expressed here that the
Archbishop will be removed, as with his
connivance much church property has been
removed surreptitiously since the Ameri-
can occupation.

punishment fixed at death. Emmerson ad-
ministered strychnine to his wife after re-
turning from church. The jury was out
only two hours.
Before the death of his wife Emmerson
was engaged to wed Miss Annie Whittle-
sey of Topeka, Kansas, and when arrested
he was at her home. 1t developed in the
trial of the case that Emmerson was in

that he chose to put his wife out of the way
In order that he might marry her.
