THE CAMPAIGN IN tUZON}
Gen. Corbin Confident of the Success of the,
Present Movement.
Increasing the Size of the Regimentr
Otis to Have About $4,000 =.
Regulars.

The news of the heavy fighting almos,
within sight of Manila and adjacent to the
nayX yard at Cavite, where Admiral
Dewey landed his forces more than a year
ago. was received with intense interest
here. 1t is evident to the officials that the
insurgents either are far stronger than has
been realized, or that they have come to
the end OF their resources and are maxi
Ing this last struggle in sheer despera ton.
otherwise 1t is hard to understand why
they should come down 10 the shore OF
the bay and fight the warships.
Adtutant General Corbin steadfastiy
maintains his confidence in the success OF
the present movement I'm Luzon. and said
yesterday that he felt ENCOURAGED al the
advices that came from Otis He had mar
ucularly In view Gen. Otis statement that
Lawton had driven the enemy with heavy
loss' and that the latter could not be re-
assembled In force. Still, there is great
concern exhibited over the conditions that
confront the American troops in this cam
palgn, and there was a renewal Of the In
curry as to whether or not there is TO DO
another call for volunteers The statement
was made IN reply to this that Gen. Otis
has or will soon have all the men he esti-
mated for and the opinion OF Gen. Otis in
tnese matters. II can be said, will deter
mine the policy of the President in the mat
ter. J
Maj. Gen. Miles has issued the follow
ing general order: :
os dAiSSOOu Oh Ine PRESIDENT ana IN exc
ercise of the authority vested in him by
act of Congress approved March 2 1899.

cheney of the army of tn United

The Secretary of the Navy received tho

day afternoon:

On June 10 the Monadnock, Monterey,

Gen. Otis cabled the War Department
last night that the Oregon regiment was
on the transports Senator and Newport to-
gether with the Signal Corps sick and
wounded and others going to the United
states. He said that 1t would be danger
Gus to send a transport large enough to
carry the entire regiment up the Columbia
river and also that the Oregonians were
almost unanimous in their desire to return
by way of San Francisco. The DEPART
ment cabled to him to use his own judg-
ment In the matter, the regiment will
come direct to San Francisco.

A Tragic Snapshot.


THE most remarkable snapshot picture
in the world is owned by friend of mine
in a town in Georgia. said an enthusiastic
amateur photographer. Its story is eX-
tremeIy curious. 1t seems that he went
one day to a blacksmith shop to get shot
at the men at the forge. The smith was
engaged on a difficult piece of ironwork,
and had two helpers. Just behind them,
on shelf, was pint flask full of yellow
ish-white liquor, evidently the corn whisky
for which the native Georgian has pecu-
liar liking. AS my friend was preparing to
take his picture, one of the helpers caught
sight of the bottle and communicated his
discovery by dumb show to his companion.
The smiths back was turned at the mo-
ment, and the first man reached stealthily
for the prize, while my friend, unnoticed in
the corner, quickly aimed his camera. 1t
was comical scene, and in his mind he
had already named the photo The Stolen
Drink The helper uncorked the flask and
took a swift gulp and his comrade snatch
ed it and did likewise. Then for a brief
breathless instant they looked at each
other, and as they did SO their foolish grin
gave way to such a stare of questioning
horror / never saw before upon a HUI
man face. l know because it was then
that the camera clicked and the picture
is as clear as crystal The flask contained
carbolic acid. Within an hour both men
were dead. When my friend took one print
he broke the negative so as to make the
photograph absolutely unique. 1t shows
the forward end of the shop In the fore
ground is the anvil, with the smith bending
over his work. Behind him are the two
helpers, one still holding the flask, looking
at each other You can see tragedy in
their eyes as plain as print. 1t is fright
full and dramatic tableau that could not be
duplicated by any sort of art

From the Indianapolis Sentirel.

Senator, you were one of the Argon-
auts and must have seen great gambling
on the coast when they were getting so
much of the yellow metal out of the Cali
fornia sands" remarked a friend of Senator
Stewart of Nevada.
Yes. there was some high rolling among
the sports in those days. l looked on, but
did not participate My first and only ex-
perience was in San Francisco in the spring
of 1850. l was youngster and had wan
0ered into a resort called the Eldorado, at
which all sorts of games were in progress,
and on the tables were piled up huge stacks
of gold and silver coin. L looked on as a
green youth would, and was attracted to a
roulette wheel A miner was betting SloO
at every turn, and luck seemed to come his
way. l didn't have much money, but con-
Guided I'd take chance, and started in
with a silver quarter. Following every bet
of the miner, | ran this twenty-five cents
up TO S25. and though elated with my for
tune, obeyed the prompting of prudence and
quit.
As went out of the place 1 heard an old
gambler say, The sucker will be back in
side of an hour and lose 1t all That re-
mark for all l knew, had a great influence
on my after career. for not only resolved
not to go back, but never to fight any
game of chance in the future. So l quit
gambling then and there and kept my res
olution. In my time l have known many
of the biggest gamblers of the west. Some
of them l would trust IN any sort of way
that man can be trusted, but very few have
l known who ever saved anything out of
the business.
The last time | was in Virginia City, one
of The most honorable members of the fra
ternity l ever knew, a man who has been
worth S500,000 at one time told me ne was
hungry and hadn't cent TO buy bread.
For the sake of old acquaintance / relieved
his necessities, but l thought of the time
when he cared no more for dollars than If
they were pennies.
