$1,000 MEN WILL
BE OTIS STRENGTH
Three Regiments VIII Be Organized from
Volunteer Troops Not Desiring
to Return Home.

washington, June 15.-Pursuing a policy
determined upon some months ago, General
Otis is organizing three regiments in the
Philippines composed of officers and men of
the state volunteers who desire to remain
in the service. The army bill authorized
this kind of enlistment in the Philippines.
If the full complement cannot be made up
from these discharged volunteers in the
Philippines, the regiments will be organ
lied and officered in skeleton form until re-
cruits can be sent from the United States
% fill them.
General Otis and the volunteer officers in
the Philippines have been consulting to see
how many men will enlist. The number
has not been very large, as there seems to
be a desire on the part of the volunteers to
return to the United States. These three
proposed regiments, with three regiments of
regulars Ito sail from San Francisco on the
22d and oath inst). and those under orders
for Manila, will give General Otis $4,000
fighting men.
It is stated positively at the war depart
ment that the report that 1t was intended
to reduce the cavalry troops and artillery
batteries In this country to ninety-five men
each in order to increase the companies in
the Philippines to $50 men each Is abso-
lutely without foundation.
Plan of Reinforcement
The approved plan for the reinforcement
of the army operating In the Philippines is
stated briefly by high official of the war
department as follows:
''The increase of the size OF the COM
panies with General Otis is 12S men to the
company was made from 3,1OO men, here
tofore the hospital corps, which the comp
troller has decided may be enlisted over
and above the CO 900 men provided by law.
.'In addition, the Twenty-fourth and
Uwenty-fifth regiments of infantry have

TEN FEET OF WATER
Immense Waterspout mandates Town
of Bracket, Texas

San Antonio, Tex, June 15.-News has
just been received here that the town of
Bracket, about twenty miles west of San
Antonio, is under 10 feet of water. A water
spout over that place yesterday afternoon
has inundated the country for miles
around. The Southern Pacific track for a
number of miles west of Cline station is
washed away and several bridges wrecked.
Many cattle have perished in the water.
In Bracket the goods in many stores are
ruined and the loss to property is heavy.
The soldiers at Fort Clark are caring for
the citizens and are dealing out govern
ment rations. Las Moras creek which runs
through the town is five miles wide. Thus
far only four persons are missing.

Gan the rail lines between New York and
Chicago, composing what was formerly
known as the Joint Traffic association
have decided on an advance ranging from
40 to so cents a ton in rates on pig iron,

vance in the prices of iron and steel recent
ly enables the lines to place these rates on

years.

Success of Lawton
General Otis cabled today the following.
Manila, June 10.
"Adjutant-Gencral, Washington:
Success of Lawtons troops in Cavite
province greater than reported yesterday.
Enemy numbered over 1000; killed, wound

Many Refuse to Credit Story of
Luna'S Assassination.
FILIPiNOS PLAYED A SHARP TRICK
Their Peace Overtures Were Only to
Gain Time General Otis Will
Have 5000 Men According
to the Official Plans.

Manila, June 15.-The Fourth regular in
fantry and the Wyoming regiment have
been added to General Lawton's command,
and today they were towed across the bay
TO Las Pinas, preparatory to moving to
linus, five miles inland, where the rebels
are reported to have an arsenal and a large
quantity of supplies.
Captain Gable, of General Wheaton's
staff, with three companies of the Twenty
first regiment, reconnoitered in the direc-
tion Of linus. The rebels, who were ap-
parently expecting attack, retired leav-
ing behind them twenty Spanish prisoners,
who joined the Americans.
The rebels have probably gone to the
mountains along the lake.
According to native stories the rebels
carried 100 dead and 300 wounded through
Bacoor after the recent battle.
The natives are now flooding into Bacoor
and it is probable there are many soldiers
in plain clothes among them. The whole
section practically without food, and
Major General Otis has ordered the dis
tribution of rice and beef to the inhabit-
ants.
Refuse to Credit stories
Many people still refuse to credit the
stories of the assassination of General Luna
by the guard at Aguinaldo's headquarters.
Though the reports to this effect are most
ly circumstantial and from good sources,
rumors of assassination and disaster from
the rebel camp are SO frequently printed in
the local papers that they have come to
be regarded with Indifference. The latest
is that the governor of Cebu has been
killed by natives because of his friendship
to Americans.
A prominent commercial man with excep-
tional means of learning of the Filipinos'
movements claims to know that If dead,
and his death occurred a month ago, people
would have expected collapse of the revo-
luton to follow.
The failure of the Filipinos to follow up
the peace negotiations strengthens the
impression that their oyertures were mere
ly to gain time and in order to lure the
Americans to show their hands.
Independence the Price of Peace
The Independence, revolutionary organ,
of May 20 copy of which has just been
obtained prints an interview with General
Luna, showing the arguments he used to
keep up the spirits of his followers.
He represents the Filipino cause as pros
pering because the Americans have gained
only a hundredth part of LuZon by hard
fighting" and says the women and children
tilling the fields within the American lines
give the proceeds of their work to help sup
port the Filipino army He is said to have
further remarked: more Americans will
be killed by ambuscades, surprises and dis
ease than in battle. I detest war, but we
cannot accept peace at any price but inde-
pendence. The Americans suffered for their
own independence, and in their hearts they
appreciate why we resist them"
