Estimated That 1000 Men a Month
Nill be Required to kcep Up Forces
on lOrci9u Service,

NEW YORK. oct, a,--A special 10
the Herald from Washington says:
Notwithstanding that an the new
volunteer regiments have their tull
quota of men, there is stlll chance FOR
young America" to serve lis country
in the Philippines, cuba and Porto
Rico. Army recruiting is 10 80 right
along to M existing vacancies in all OF
the places, but under a somewhat dlt.
ferent system.
Orders will be issued in a day or two
relieving the hundred officers now on
recruiting service to take effect on De-
cember next, and closing some tenn
porary recruiting rendezvous. Instead
OF more than 100 stations there viii be
only ~ after the date mentioned. Dis
patches were sent to General Otis. Cen
eral Brooke and General Davis few
days ago directing them to designate
one officer from each regiment within
their respective commands for recruit
ing service.
Commanding officers In the Knitted
States have also been requested to des-
ignate one officer from each regiment
serving In this country. The details
made in this way will give forct OF
442 officers. especially assigned for re-
cruitlng duty for a period OF two years,
This larger force than was detailed
for this service prior to the war. as n
detail of each OF the seven artillery
regiments is to be allowed. Hereto
fore only cavalry and infantry officers
have been engaged on recruiting duty.
1t is expected that there will be a great
clamor among the officers serving In
Cuba and Porto Rico to secure these
details. as the assignment will bring
them home where they can be with
their families That there may be no
favoritism at this end OF the lire, the
secretary has decided to leave the Sc
lection entirely in the hands OF the
commanding officers.
The army is now recruited TO within
1000 men OF It's authorized strength OF
100000 men. 1t is estimated that vacan
cies viii occur in the Philippines by
reason Of casualties and expiration OF
terms Of service, at the rate OF 500 a
month and at about the same rate
among the troops in the United States
and cuba and Porto Rico. making about
1000 men that viii be required each
month.

CURRENCY REFORM
TO BE PROPOSED
SECRETARY CAGES REPORT
He Will Recommend Plan Under
Which Banks Nay Issue Notes
Ia Emergencies.

NEW YORK. Oct. 3l.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Enactmnat Of the gold standard into
law and reform Of the banking currency
laws so as to give the country more
elastic bank-note currency, will he the
leading recommendations OF Secretary
Cages annual report.
When the secretary went before the
banking and currency committee of the
house of representatives early in the
present administration he declared EN-
phatically for the enactment Of the gold
standard into law, and startled many Of
his party associates. He stood his
ground, however, and has had the sat
isfaction Of seeing the rank and file Of
his party, with some exceptions, come
up to the standard which ne has plant
ed.
In the same way the secretary will
now take advanced ground in favor OF
banking reform and a system Of bank
ing which will allow banks to issue
their own notes to meet extraordinary
demands for currency. The secretary
believes that a system of bank-note
issues can be devised which will insure
the safety Of the note holder and at the
same time will NOT endanger the safety
Of the money entrusted to the banks
by depositors.
He will recommend the enactment OIL
law providing for the issue Of notes
against deposits of bonds and green
backs, treasury notes or silver certifi-
Gates and allowing the banks to issue
additional notes against their assets.
The details Of the plan vii be prin-
cipally the same as those which he
recommended in his first annual report
in 1897. The advantage Of enabling

banks to issue notes against their as
sets under restrictions ad regulations
which would insure the absolute safety
Of the notes, it is stated, is that they
would thus be able to put out additional
circulation at times when money was
in demand and retire their notes as
soon as the necessity for the increased
circulation was passed.
This would prevent the great increase
in interest rates which now occurs pc
riodically and would produce at times
such a plethora Of money as to lead in
evitably to Over-speculation.

a Dangerous Man Who Will Show the
Beers No Possible Quarter.

CHICAGO, Oct. d.-Major Jane
Robert Douglas Graham, who left Eng
land two weeks ago. is in this city. He
was an officer OF the Seventeenth
lancers Major Graham served in
South Africa in the Zulu war and be-
came familiar with the Beers. He was
a friend Of Sir w. P. symons. He
knows General Butler, and esteems Sir
Archibald Hunter, General Whites
chief Of staff at Ladysmith, as Eng
lands coming strategist. In an inter-
view today Major Graham said:
When I left England all military
men were forecasting the Boer war.
General Butler is a man Of the stamp
Of Grant-frst Of all an aggressive
fighter. He is disliked heartily at home.
He is to have a free hand in Africa
however. He cares nothing for mems
lives, so he gains his point. God pity
the Beers if defeated in battle and their
lines become broken. He would turn his
artillery on the retreating masses, and
order his cavalry to ride through them
without quarter
Personally. I would like to have
seen more magnanimous commander
in South Africa, but his worst enemy
cannot deny that Butler is a tremen-
dous fighter"

NEW YORK, oct. Sl.-A dispatch to
the World from London says;
senor Antonia RegidOr de Jurado,
who, is is believed to act as AguinaldO's
envoy for the purpose OF presenting
peace terms to the authorities in Wash
inEton. arrived here today from Madrid.
To a World correspondent he declared
that one Of his missions to the Ameri-
can capital was to lay the grievances OF
the secular priests in the Philippines
against the friars before the Washing
ton government.
.'The friars," he said, have placed
themselves under the protection of Gen
erai Otis and are apprOpriating the
property Of the secular priesthood.
IT am also asked by an influential
committee Of bankers and merchants in
Manila to use any available opportunity
while at Washington to sound your
government as to the best terms Of
peace"
When asked the direct question
whether or not he was specifically as
credited by Aguinaldo. Senor Regidor
automatically replied that he might be
so accredited before he started for
washington, which would be in the lat
ter part of November.
Have you noticed the dispatches to-
day stating that Aguinaldo had opened
communication with General Otis from
Tarlac?" was asked.
II place no reliance on these reports"
was the reply. MY latest private in
formation from leading members Of the
Filipino assembly is that Aguinaldo
win make no move toward peace until
he sees what congress intends to do.
"FIe considers it a waste Of time to
treat with General Otis.

MUNICIPAL CHANGES.
New City Attorney, Police men and
 Other FunCffonarIeS.

Tha major pl0I'tion of municipal Of flee seekers were relieved from further strain by the city council at it's regular monthly meeting last nignt. The council chambers were again charged with democrats.
 The selection of city attorney was the first order of business. The same applicants who were placed in no nina tion at the last meeting, l.. H. Chal- mers, Walter Bennett and George Purdy Bullard, were baIloted upon three times with the same result Chalmers, l. Bennett, 2, and Bullard, 2. Bullard withdrew at the end of the third ballot and the deadlock was broken. s. J. Darby's name was sub stituted and he was elected by three votes: Mayer Gang, COuncilmep Fickas and Morford, Chalmers receiv- ing two, Councilmen Sanders and Dyer.
 The recorder then read the resigna- ton of Thomas J. Molloy, who has ac- cepted a position as guard 1t Yuma. The communication is as fellows: ''To the Hon. Mayor and Common

SMITHS BONDSMEN.
The Treasury Department Disposed
 10 Be Easy Wiih Them.

Information comes to The RepubIi- can from an authoritative source that
 the matter of the Fred Smith judg-
 ment ha@ by the United States
 against Fred Smith, the defaulting
 receiver of the Tucson land office. is in process Of compromise and settle
 ment- Smith defaulted about 1890 to
 the extent of $5,93496, made up Of first payment on land entries. His bondsmen were H. H. Logan, Samuel Franklin, Lincoln Fowler. W. J. Mur- phy, Henry D. Kemp, Jerry Millay, N. A. Morford, William Christy. w. D. Fulwiler and E. J. Bennitt of this county, and Sabino Otero and M. G. Samaniego of Pima county. The bondsmen moved with aIacrity and Smith was overtaken by a couple of obtained possession of cash belong ing to him amounting to S25, ,OOJ. with which they intended to secure themselves It was how ever, represented to them by an agent of the treasury department that the bondsmen were aot liable and that the dsfalcation was matter in which only the re- ceiver and the persons who had paid him the money were interested. Smiths money was accordingly turn sd back to him and he permanently disappeared.
 The treasury agents representation, 0y the way, was based on an unbroken line of decisions that a receiver was not liable on his bond for first pay ments. The bond was intended only to secure the government against loss, and as first payments are not accounted for to the government until final payments have been made. it could run no risk of loss. This decis- ion was never reversed until last August, in the case brought against Smiths bondsmen in which judgment for the amount of the defa,cation was obtained on February IS, 1891. The judgment having been affirmed United States Marshal Griffith on Feb. 20 of this year levied upon vanous proper ties belonging to the bC1dsmen in cIuding about forty tracts of land in this county and several thousand head of cattle in Pima county be- longing to Otero and Samaniego. All this property was ordered to be sold next Friday and the advertisement Of the sale was published.
 The judgment bearing six per cent, had, in eight years, along with the ac- cruing costs almost doubled There seemed to be no way to avoid the sat isfaction of it. But there was an equity in the case which evidently aD- pealed to the treasury department. so that Marshal Griffith was notified a day or two ago to postpone the sale for thirty days. It is understood that n the meantime the government will entertain 9 reasonable offer of com promise. What the department would deem reasonable offer is a matter of conjecture. but it IS surmised that about S2,500 would be accepted Be- fore the trial of the casc e;ght ycl-s ago the department offered to release the bOrdsmen on the payment of that sum. but the offer was rejected, the bondsmen relying on the above men- tioned decisions affecting such eases. But whatever the government gets will be an unearned increment less. Of course, the expense of prosecution 1 Many of the persons who made these first payments have disappeared. | and at any rate the government is not bound to reimburse them.
