 Other Seriously Injured.

New York, Sept. 16.-Eugene Hauck, 23 years of age, of New York city, was instantly killed at West New York, N. J., today in bicycle accident. Charles Heilmann, 21 years old, of New York, was seriously, but not fatally injured.
 The young men were chums They started Cn a tandem ride through North Hudson. Hauck occupied the front seat. They crossed the Hudson river by way of a Hoboken ferry and went up the Patterson plank road to Union Hill and so on to the Hudson boulevard. At West New York they turned into tke new loop of the boule- ward. This loop makes an abrupt turn, almost at right angles, as it passes Monitor park. Being strangers, Hauck and Heilman were not aware of this. They were spinning along with their heads down behind group of cyclers and they did not see tL.e turn until they reached it. They were going at full speed Before they could turn or check their headway they dashed across the turn and crashed into an electric light pole.
 Hauck's head struck the pole His head was crushed and he died almost instantly. Heiln1ann was thrown over the handle bar against the pole His collarbone was broken, he re- ceived a severe scalp wound, and his body was a mass of contusions. He was removed tc Christ's hospital, Jer- sey City.
 Hauck's body was taken to an un- dertaking establishment and his friends were notified.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Subjects of Philippines and Vice Pres
 idant Hobart.

Washington, Sept. 16.-(SpeciaI.)- President Mckinley and Secretary Root are both pleased at the rapidity with which the recruiting of the new regiments for the Philippines is going on. Although a number of the recruit ing officers in various sections have just opened reports to the war depart ment show that half of the ten regi- ments are already enlisted. The off cial order for recruiting volunteers was issued Saturday afternoon.
 Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, who recently returned from the Philippines, where he made an exhaustive personal investigation Of affairs, was warmly welcomed by President Mckinley, to whom he made a very full statement, during conferences covering a eonsid- erable portion of three consecutive days. Senator Beveridge declined to make Q statement for publication al this time concerning what he told the

| be enough, it is possible that the mum
 Der may be increased. In case of such
 a necessity, there is abundant excel
 lent material in the regiments on the | ground. The speaker said it was ri
 dicu1ous to criticise Generals LawtOn
 and Macarthur on account of their
 youth, for the history of the world
 shows that most of the greatest bat ties that were ever fought were won
 by men in the prime Of life. He added that if age had been the sole standard, Grant, Sheridan and Sherman would | have been kept in subordinate places, and the history Of the war of the re- beIlion would have to be rewritten Although Lawton and Macarthur were staff officers ill the regular army. they had clearly demonstrated their fitness for command in the volunteers in the
 recent war, and ft would be considered
 great mistake to replace them simp-
 ly to make room for regular line Ofti-
 cers. He meant no Encouragement ta
 the general officers Of the line, but lie could not see how any good could be accomplished. under existing circum stances, by putting them in authority over the officers now in the field, es pecially when the latter had demon- strated their eminent fitness for their command and duty.
 Administration officials deprecatc the apparent efforts of press c0rras pondents in the Philippines to show that the military force there is in n enfeebled and demoralized conditioE. as such presentations. like those of Atkinson and other anti-expansiOnist in the United States, serve the purpose of encouraging the insurrectionistS to further resistance to the power of the United States. It is claimed that it was just such methods on the part of the opposition to the administration that thwarted the prompt ratification Of the Spanish treaty and emboldened the party of AguinaldO to open hostil- ities against the United States forces.
 The assertion is made that despite the severe criticism to which he has been subjected, that not a single fact has been brought forward to show that General Otis has misrepresented the operations in the Philippines, or has suppressed any material infor- nation necessary to a proper under of the exact situation.
 It is pointed cut that it would be just as easy for the correspondents in | the Philippines to inform the world, | by way of Hong Kong. of any impJr- tant event in the history Of the insur- 'ecticn that may have been suppressed | by General Otis, as it is to forward the | press dispatches criticising his course and alleging the suppression of 1be rug state of affairs
 According to a prominent official, he president will naturally continue o accept General Otis dispatches as and accurate in all essential Ietail5 until it has been demonstrated hat such information is incomplete nd untrustWorthy.

president, but it is known that the president considers the information brought him to be important, and that much of it is confrmatory of what Professor Schurman had already told him.
 | The association of Spanish War Vet erans, whose first encampment has just closed, elected President Mckinley as their first honorary member, Gen. J. W. Keller, commander-in-chief and Miss Helen Gould, sponsor.
 Brigadier General Ovenshine, late commander of the Second brigade of Lawton's division, Eighth army corps, is in Washington on sick leave. He said of his Philippine service: q had in my brigade the Wyoming, North Dakota and Idaho regiments of vOlun teers, and the Fourteenth infantry ot regulars, and was in the southern part Of LuzOn with LIwton, about six weeks. We captured everything We went after and held every city we took General Ovenshine says he thinks the next campaign will wind up the rebellion. Of the mems rations he said: We had the best Australian beef and mutton, even better than you get in Washington. Our ether supplies were equally as good, and there was no complaint" and of another story widely published, he said:. As to the reports of Filipino soldiers mutilating our dead, and our soldiers mutilating the, enemy for revenge, l never saw single case of any kind Of mutilation and don't believe there was any with Lawton's command
 The war department wishes it known that it will forward packages of books and papers to soldiers in the Philip pines, free of charge, if they are sent to either Major Long, U. S. quarter master, San Francisco, Cal, of Colonel Jones, U. s. quartarmaster, New York city. These packages may be for gen. eral distribution or addressed to any organization, just as the donators may please.
 The best informed men in Washing ton have known for some time that MT. Hobart was as certain of renomi- nation as MT. Mckinley, provided the 1 state of his health would permit him i to accept. His health has not beer 1 good since last winter and that has ! caused fear on the part of his friends. | There is no ground whatever for the | gossip alleging a movement among ] prominent republicans to supplant MT. ! Hobart on the ticket There is not i single republican, prominent in na- tional affairs, who is not cordially in favor of MT. Fobart's renominatiOn, and President McKinley's strong friendship for Mir Hobart is known everywhere. There has never been a president and vice president more thor 3ughly in accord, personally and polit- cally, than these two men have been rom the day they were placed on the ticket together, and there has never )een a vice president who was allowed 50 large share in shaping national policies as MT.

not be recalled without disgrace, ant
 it may be stated on authority thai
 such action will not be taken unless
 he makes a serious mistake and shows
 his unfitness for the place. With the
 force shortly to be available it is con-
 idently expected that the complete
 supremacy of the United States will be
 quickly established, and it is argued that it world be manifestly unfair t. General Otis to recall him with the pucspecc Of 9 successful campaign so near at hand. His only superioIs in rank in the regular army are Generals Miles, Merritt and Brooke, and there are said to be potent reasons why these officers are not available for service in the Philippines. General Miles as commander of the army, is needed at home to advise and con- suit with the president, and Generals Merritt and Brooke are not physically able to stand the hardships of an active campaign in the tropics, General Merritt will go on the retired list on account of age in a few months, and General Brooke, as governor general of Cuba. already has most important duties to fulfill He will shortly visit Washington to consult with the pres ident regarding the situation in Cuba, and will take a much needed rest bs- fore returning to his post.
 One of the best indications that no immediate change is contemplated in the command in the Philippines is the fact that no orders to that effect have been issued. The significance of this fact is that the campaign will be opened in about two months, which is little more than the time required 70 make the journey from this part Of the United States to Manila, and it is net considered likely that such an i'm portant duty would be intrusted to man who would have no time to famil- iarize himself with the country and the military conditions.
 Another report that has received wide circulation is that the large in- crease which is being made in the Philippine army will necessitate the cSSuSu u 111dAy dQu4LlNud1 SCuC1 al officers to duty in the country. The report does not receive much encour- agement at the war department. As enc prominent official who knows what is going on, puts it, Whats the 1 use? Why the cream of the army is now in the Philippines, and if the otfi- cers here cannot put down the insur- | rection with the force at their disposal | we may as well give up the fight as a | bad job." He said there were already | fourteen general officers in the Philip | pines, including some of the best men in the army, among the number being | such well known fighters as Lawton, Wheeler and Young. There are now three major generals, Otis, Lawton and Macarthur which allows a major general for each 10000 men There are also eleven officers for brigade commands, and although that might
