Gcrman embassy.
A dispatch has been received from
General Otis requesting that there be
sent to the Philippines $500 horses. in
order that brigade of cavalry may be
organized for use at the end of the
rainy season.
Dynamite guns are to be used by the
American troops m the fall campaign
against the Filipinos. Preparations
are being made by the ordnance de-
partmcnt to supply General Otis with
SIX Sims Dudley dynamite pneumatic
weapons.
The impression prevails in army cir
cles that the intention of the admins
tration is to enlist not only the ten
regiments of volunteers named in the
recent order from the war department,
but the entire thirty-five regiments
authorized by the late congress.
1t is said at the state department
that the financial conditions in Guate-
mala, with impending reputation,
threaten severe loss to American citi-
zens. But so far the American gov
ernment has not consented tn take any
joint action with England Germany
or any other nation 10 bring pressure

rs follows: The volunteers are great
~ debilitated in consequence of the
hard campaigning through three
months of tropic weather. Twenty
four of the Nebraska officers are on
the sick list, and the Montana, Kansas.
Washington and South Dakota regi-
ments show twenty or more officers in
the hospitals or sick in their quarters.
These regiments have borne the brunt
OF the fighting. Their losses in killed
and wounded range from 1860 in the
Montana regiment to $50 Nebraska
men. The loss Of the Kansas regi-
mcnt is second to that of Nebraska,
while the Washington and South Da-
kota regiments follow closely, each
with losses of about 200. The Oregon
regiment also suffered severely. The
Nebraska regiment has suffered the
worst. 1t came in from San Fernando
few days ago with fewer than 200
men in the ranks Some Of its com
panies have only two sets of fours."
