Creed Three Hundred and FOrty-Elght


A new religion is to be added to the
three hundred and forty.seven already
existing in the United States. The apos-
tie Of peculiar creed and brotherhood
has just arrived in this city. 1t claims
forty million members. its name is
secret; its chief representative is a
native of PeTsia,Who was educated in
European universities, became a min.
lister of the Church of England, but SUBJ
sequently was instructed in this new re-
ligon. An air of mysticism surrounds
him, yet he is willing to tell q little
to the uninitiated. What he calls
the positive point Of the brother

Tuesday morning we saw two boys and
two COWS. The boys we're taking the
COWS TO the pasture. There was nothing
unusual about such scene, for it is a
common thing to see boys driving COWS
TO pasture. What impressed us was the
different modes Of the two boys In dryi-
ing their respective bovines One boy
a little fellow with pink waist and dark
trousers, wearing q straw hat, walked by
the ide Of his COW and occasionally
would rub her neck and speak kindly 10
her. The COW knew that he liked her
and she feared no harm. She was as
gentle as an old family horse. The 9TH

erted his strength aud wasted his energy
in throwing stones. olodS, sticks, etc, at

willing to turn food into butter fat but
because she cannot do II under such

New York, Jan. Ga dispatch to the

d~isbanding Of the corps formation in this
country and Cuba. These corps are still
in existence but the dispatch of troops

whose headquarters are at Augusta, Ga,

banded. instructions haVe been given to
all commanding officers of regiments to
grant discharges to enlisted men who re-
guest it and VINO enlisted in the regular
army for one year. The six regiments
which are going to the Philippines are
specially receiving the attention of the
department in this respect and before
they start the commands will be made
up of men who ave enlisted for three
years. The officials found the men are
making none by applying for disA
charges and then securing clothing and
travelling allowances. When discharged
and after the receipt of their allowances
they apply for re-enlistment for three
years and obtain the advantage of IN
creased pay.

GEN, MILLER
AND TROOPS
Will See the Instructions OF
the President
ARE FULLY CARRIED OUT
He Will Have the Support of Several
of DeWey's Warships--Warn-
ing to FilipinOs.
ARE FULLY CARRIED OUT

Chicago, Jan. GA special to the Times
Mckinley has decided to force the issue
with the Filipinos. Ills decision may re-
suit in a battle at Iioilo. It may lead to
a harrassing war with the natives of the
Philippines. 1t is hoped and believed that
such calalnlties will be avoided, but 1t
remains for the insurgents to determine
what the results will be. The president
has ordered Gen. Miller to land his troops
at Iloilo. The order leaves the American
commander no alternative. He is direct
ed to be conciliatory TOWARD the natives,
but at the same time, he is instructed to
use force, if necessary, to effect his land
ing and establish himself in the desired
camp. In other words, Gen. Miller is to
act on the defensive. He will not fire a
sun unless attacked by the Filipinos.
Gen. Miller's troops have been cooped
up in transports for nine or ten days. lie
has had several parleys with the lnsur-
gents, who took possession of Ilollo soon
after it was evacuated by the Spaniards
and he has assured them of the beneficlent
Character of his mission. He has brought
these considerable negotiations to a eli
max by publishing President Mckinley's
message of peace and good will to the ma
tives. The Filiplnos are, therefore,, fully
advised of the purpose OF the United
States to take control of the islands, to
give them large measure of home rule
and to establish a just, humane and en-
lightened government. The president has
been extremely m~agnanlmOus and concll-
iatOry in his treatment of the insurgents
and it is held there is no warrant for
them to offer forcible resistance.
This government must move on to the
performance of its mission in the Philip
pines. 1t is obvious that Gen. Miller's
troops cannot be recalled to Manila. Such
a retreat would be ignominious. There
is only one course open and he is deter
mined to act promptly. The F'illpincs
have received due notice OF the intentions
of the United States and if they precipi-
tate a fight they must suffer the conse-
uuences. Gen. Miller has about 5000 sol
dicrs ut 1lOilo.
He will also have the support of sew.
eral gunbOats for Admiral Dewey has no,
titled Secretary Long of the nav depart
mcnt that he had sent the Concord ani
the Petrol to join the naval force under
Col Dyer at Iloilo. 1t is now known how
strong q force the insurgents have at that
point. The war department has infor-
nation which seems to indicate the ma
! tives have only about 5000 stand of ARM
and it is assumed that fairly represent:
their fighting power at Iloilo. They hay
no modern artillery. while the American
force is well equipped in that respect
There is no doubt Of the ability of Gen
Miller to defeat the Filipinos in pitched
battle, but he has been warned not to b.
the aggressor.

ICrceS Are DistIlhuteu.

New York, Jan. Ga dispatch to the
Tribune from WASHINGTON says: The
war department has determined to util-
ize the Seventh infantry now at Fort
Wayne, to guard the posts soon to be
evacuated by the dispatch Of regiments
to the Philippines and other distant sta
tons and will distribute the companies of
that regiment as follows: Two companies
to Fort Sheridan, ILL.,. to replace the
Fourth infantry; one company to Fort
Smelling, Mimi, to replace the Third in
fantry; n company to Columbus bar
racks. Ohio, to replace the Twenty-sec-
cnd infantry; one company to Fort
Crook, Neb., to replace the Twenty-sec-
end infantry;one company to Fort Thorn
as. KY, four companies to Fort Brady,
Mich, and two companies will remain at
Fort Wayne. 1t is possible three of the
companies assigned to Fort Brady may
be transferred to Fort Smelling on ac-
count of the greater likelihood of Indian
uprisings in that neighborhood. In that
event, the headquarters will also go tC
Fort Smelling. It is intended that this
distribution of the Seventh infantry shall
continue for at least one year.

London, Jan. 6,-The Times, comment
ing editorially this morning upon Lord
Cromer's declarations to the S~oudanese
sheikhs at Omdurman, says:
"They constitute the p~lainest asser-

Soudan ever made"
The Chronicle says: THE speech means
q protectorate and will be SO interpreted
in the cOntinent.'
The Standard says "Offense will per-
haps be taken at Constantinople at the
conspicuous omission of the sultan's
name, but it would be sheer perversity
to complicate matters by a formal recog-
milton of an influence which has forever
ceased to have any validity in fact or
