VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED.
Secretary AIger Seeks Authority to
Re-enIist Those In Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Secretary
Alger visited the senate today for the
purpose of getting the compromise
army bill amended so as to authorize
the re-enlistment of the volunteer SOL
diers now serving in the Philippines.
When the peace treaty takes effect the
term of service of volunteers will ex-
pire and necessarily, there will be an
interim before new troops can be en-
listed and transported to the islands.
The secretary thinks that many of the
volunteers would be willing to remain
during this interim, and the amend
ment he proposes grants authority to
give them this opportunity. The SEN
ate committee on military affairs has
signified its willingness to accept the
amendment.

Mountain of Human Bones Covered

Mountain of Human Bones Covered
 over by the American Forces.
 In the Colon cemetery at Havana, where the American seamen who per ished in the Maine catastrophe are buried, in striking contrast to the rev. erenee displayed by Anglo-Saxon peo- nles for the burial places of their dead, there has been for more than two cen turies a human bone pit. Exposed to the glare of the sun. the mercy of the rains, there have lain for yeas the frames Of those who clce lived and loved, says the New York Herald This famous pit was first dug by Don Pedro Yaldes, in the year 1902, and from that day to this has been the re- ceptacle for the skeletons of the Gu ban dead It is 110 feet square and twenty feet deep filled to the twenty foot level. An eight-foot stone wall lncloses it from the morbidly curious, and in external appearance it resem- bles an antiquated Spanish fortress or barracks. The old Spanish custom of renting graves, none being able to buy outright, in Colon cemetery, easily eX- plains the necessary existence of the 'pia." A man dies, is buried in rented grave, forgotten in a short time, the rent unpaid one year-his bones are dug and thrown among his ances- tors in the mass of dead humanity; the grave, being already open, is held to receive the next body A careful es- innate, no record having been kept, puts the number of human skeletons in the pit at 100000 When one realizes that the pit is nearly 800 years old, and the average life of man is a little less than thirty years, Havanas popula- tion for the last 100 years being more than 100000, it is quite plausible that the estimate is most conservative. In some cases the coffin and all have been dumped into the "pit" and left to the depredations of the yulture or buzZard, the seavengers of Havana. Skulls with long hair still on are not infrequent sights, and in one case a skull still held fast switch Midnight rambles over the heads of these departed have been one of the pastimes of the mor- bidly inclined in Havana. The Amer ican government, ever to the fore in the ways of civilization, has at last filled over the ghastly "bQne pitt" and the days of luncheon or skalls' are past.
