him at once what further reinforcement

reg uiar troops to be dispatched to the

zen. Otis has already informed the war
department that he will be satisfied If the
army under his command is kept at a
maximum of $4,000. The president will
give him this number
The situation in the Philippines was the
subject OF an extended conference today
between the president and Adjt. Gen.
Corbin In view Of the more or less
alarming reports which have been sent
to the United States from Manila, 1t is
important to know that the president
does not share in the anxiety which these
dispatches have naturally created. Gen.
Otis has been kept In close touch with
the authorities here, and If he was in
the tight position when the press re-
ports seem to indicate, it is felt that he
would not hesitate about making his
dilemma known. On the contrary, the
advices received from him show that he
is not in need of a largely increased
army. He has cabled that the press re-
ports of the activity of the insurgents
south of Manila have been greatly ex-
aggerated, and he thinks that &C. O0O men
will be ample to meet all requirements
The present strength of the army in
the philippines, including volunteers who
are still IN the service, Is 36,O00. When
the volunteers return, some 2t, 600 reglI-
lars. will renain, or 5000 less than the
number estimated as necessary by Gen.
Oeis. = ne IeldtoTceIIlentS now en- route
TO Manila, or under orders to depart
will bring the total regulars up to the re-
quired figure, but as there will be consid-
erable loss through sickness, it is pro-
posed to decrease the companies now sta
toned in garrisons in this country to
their minimum, and increase the com
panies in the Philippines to their maxi
mum. 1t is believed that this arrange
ment will give Gen. Otis all the men he
requires, without disarranging the army
as 1t Is at present distributed. It can be
stated, on authority, that until Gen.
Otis asks for an additional force there
will be no enlargement of the army-not
even to the extent Of recruiting the So, ,0O0
natives provided for in the army reorgan-
ization bill, which passed the last con-
greSs.

MORE TROOPS NEEDED.
That Is the Actual Situation in the
Philippines.

WASHINGTON, May SO.-The situation
in the PHILIPPINE islands, as described in
recent dispatches, Is such as to make al
most necessary to raise at least part of
the provisional army authorized, by the
last of June, if the United States expects
to secure complete control of the archi-
pelago. The administration has been
brought to realize that it is no longer
war and diplomacy in dealing with the
insurgents, but plain war. Diplomacy and
the peace commission must take back
seats until the enemy has been complete
ly whipped and forced to surrender
Gen. Otis has not a sufficient number
of men to accomplish this end. 1t is be-
lieyed he has so informed the war depart
ment but the officials will not admit it.
They do admit, however, that the out
look for an early peace is very gloomy,
and that more troops are badly needed in
the Philippines. Just how to meet this
situation is a question which confronts
them and requires prompt decision.
1t is expected that the president will
discuss all phases of the situation with
the cabinet Tuesday and reach an early
decision.

tached a small banner bearing the in
Inscription: mo North, no South" In
the rear of the speakers platform was
chorus of 100 voices, the choristers being
the pupils of the Central, Cleveland and
Mechanic Arts high schools.
The members Of several G.. A. r. posts,
Sons of Veterans Eldridge Zouaves and
members of the Twelfth and Fifteenth
regiments marched into the hall at the
conclusion of the parade and occupied
seats reserved for them in the center Of
the building.
On the platform were seated Gov. Lind,

Kane, Capt. w. H. Harries, Dr. o. S.
Pine, chairman of the executive commit
tee, and Chief Marshal Henry Hasen-
winkle and his aides.
The color bearers of the various G. A.
r. posts took positions on the platform
and during the exercises at appropriate
times flung the colors they SO proudly
carried to the breeze, adding greatly to
the enthusiasm, especially during the
singing of the Star Spangled Banner
and Columbia"
The programme opened with a dirge by
the Minnesota State band, under the
leadership of Prof. c. NJ Selling An in
vocation by Rev: S. G. Smith, of the Peo-

Coghlan's voice was heard to advantage
and she had to respond to the enthusias-

Minnesota State band accompanied the
singer with effect.
Chairman Pine then introduced Vice
Commander w. H. Harries, the first
speaker of the day, as one of the heroes
of the famous Iron brigade of Wiscon-

HANNA'S OPPONENTS DIVIDED.
While Kurtz, Bushnell McKisson and
other leaders of what is known as the
Opposition to Hanna have been in con-
ference today they have not announced
their candidate. They are said to be dl.
v1ded on Jones, Orr and Hull, with some
tendency towards Daugherty If Nash cam
not be beaten by any one else.
The leaders tonight say it is Nash
against the field, with Daugherty a close
second.
While there is some betting on favor
ties, with-over a dozen candidates in the
field there is yet nothing On which to
place reliable forecast of the nominal
ton.
In addition to the large number OF can
didates there are contests from seven
counties-the latest being those from
Hamilton and Franklin. The develop
ments tonight indicate that the contests
from these two large counties will not
likely affect the result. None of the
members of the Hamilton county dele
cation issued a call for a mass conven-
ton or participated in the meeting last
night.
NASH MEN OBJECT.
The Franklin county committee, pur-
suant to a call by it's chairman, met in
Columbus last March, and selected thirty
four delegates who are for Nash. Last
night certain members of this committee
met at the Chittenden hotel, and selected
another delegation of thirty-four dele
gates from Franklin county There are
thirty-eight members of the county conf
mittee and it requires two-thirds to re-
consider any previous action. There is
one vacancy but it still requires twenty
for a parliamentary majority and twcn
ty-siX for two-thirds. 1t was given out
that there were two-thirds at the meet
ing last night. Today the Nash men SC
cured affidavits from twentyfour mem-
bers of the committee, including its chair
man, that they were not at the Chiffon
den hotel meeting last night, that they
were never notified of such meeting, and
knew nothing of it until today.
1t is announced tonight that Col w.
F. Orr and perhaps other local favor
ties will not have their names presented.

Carless Striking of a Match Causes
a Tragedy.
MARION, Ind, May a0.-The striking of
a match by spectator, near an oil well,
three miles east of Marion, this evening,
caused the oil surrounding the well to
ignite and the flames instantly spread,
consuming everything for several squares.
Six men who were on the tank into which
the Oil was pouring, were terribly burned.
They are: Thomas Mcdonald, Bluffton,
owner of the well; l.. S. Gordon, Montpe-

WHEELER FOR GOVERNOR.
Alabama Democrats Urge the Cen
eral to Make the Race.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May S0.-With al
most one accord the newspapers In Gen.
Joe Wheeler's congressional district have
united on a call Tor him to enter the race
for governor and heal the disruption that
now exists in the Democratic party in AL
ALBANIA. The call has been taken up by
other papers in central and southern AL
ALBANIA, and 1t is said that Gen. Wheeler
might be induced to enter the field :f
he is not sent to the Philippines. If he
ran he would be nominated and elected
beyond doubt. Even the Populists and
Republicans will scarcely oppose him.
Wheeler's election as governor would, it
is believed, insure him an eventual seat
in the United States senate.
