Washington, June 1O.-The cabinet,
in connection with the possible neces.
sity of enhsting a force Of volunteers,
discussed a plan for the enlistment of
several skeleton regiments In Manila
from among the volunteers who desire
to remain in the service and the sub
sequent filling out Of these regiments
with recruits enlisted In this country.
Gen. Otis, according to the plan, will
be given authority to select the officers
who are to be mustered out. The plan,
which commends itself to the favor Of
the members of the cabinet generally,
would form a nucleus Of veteran Of
ficers and men, seasoned to the climate
and familiar with the work to be done.
Such q force leavened with veterans,
doubtless would be UNNECESSARILY SUI
perior to q force Of raw recruits, un-
disciplined and unacclimated. The
plan was only discussed in connection
with future contingencies, and did not
reach the stage of completion. The
president announced names of the Mic.
araguan canal commission and there
was unanimous concurrence in the Sc
lection. The attorney general an
n0unced his opinion that the army re-
organization bill fixing the maximum
strength Of the army at 65,OOO did not
include the enlisted force Of the hospi-
tai corps, about 1900 men, so that the
enlisted force can be increased by that
number
Up to the time the cabinet met no
word had come to indicate that the
modus vivendi relative to the Alaskan
boundary had been signed.

Paris Mathis Peculiar Ideas of

New York, June 10. - The Herald's
Paris correspondent says: The Matin
devotes a good deal of space to the
American position in the Philippines.
This shows exactly where the shoe
pinches. The Herald has already
pointed out that the policy of the Unit
ed States is to accord religious liberty
to all alike, but the Mathis correspond
ent processes to see in this attitude an
endeavor to Cypress the native Fill
pinos through the protection given to
the free exercise of religious con-
science. The Matin says: "The facts
reported by our correspondent have re-
ceived almost confirmation by the
new campaign opened in the United
States by the imperialistic press in ia
vor of the continuation of hostilitics,
right or wrong, in the interests of re-
ligion. or rather, as the New York Her
aid confesses, to save. the goods and
property of the religious communities"

Civil Authorities Are Charged With
Indifference.
Havana, June 1O.-News from Puer-
to Principe tend to confirm the story of
extensive brigandage prevailing in that
province and that armed forces are
terrorizing the country. They are ope-
rating in small towns outside of rail-
road and telegraph connection and
their depredatiOns are seldom reported.
Farmers brought news to Principe that
q week ago at Cascorro, fifty miles out,
bandits killed two Spaniards, Narcisco
Agnero and Isidor Moro, and robbed
their plantations of horses, cattle and
money. The bandits went to the plan
tation on foot. 1t is thought they be-
long in Cascorro and were formerly
Cuban soldiers They took the two
men away and the bodies were found
next morning by the roadside. The in
difference Of the civil authorities to-
ward stopping the outrages is making
the bandits holder. Gen. Lee has rec
commended that force of soldiers be
stationed in all the towns in the Pima
district, where brigandage is also ex-
tensively carried on. The military au-
thorities say there are not sufficient
soldiers here to properly protect the
inland towns.

Stcrer, United States minister to Spain,
will arrive here this evening from San
Sebastian, the summer residence of
the Spanish court, whittier Mr.. Stanton
Sickles, secretary of the legation, has
gone to accompany him to Madri;i. His
delay has no political significance
whatever. He simply desired to ind a
residence for his use when the court
goes to San Sebastian, and it is now
expected that he will present his Gre
dentials to the queen regent next Mon
day. During Mr.. Storer's sojourn in
San Sebastian there have been no
popular demonstrations. and there is
nothing to indicate that he will be re-
ceived here otherwise than courteous
ly. 1t is quite improbable that there
will be any annoyance or demonstra-
ton in connection with his arrival.
Mr.. Storer has wired asking that aptrt-
ments be prepared ut the United States
legation for himself, his wife and their
servants, but as the legation building
is very small he will probably be
obliged to have recourse to hotel un-
til larger house can be chosen for

GUILTY OF FORGERY.

Lea ON One Charge.

Albert Lea, Mimi, June 9.-After be-
ing out fifteen hours the jury has re-
turned verdict of guilty against w.
ID. Robertson, indicted for forgery in
the second degree. The trial of Rob-
ertson for grand larceny is now in
progress. and at it's conclusion the
court will adjourn for the term. The
case of Robertson has excited much
interest owing to the manner in which
he worked the county and his action in
jumping his bond. Robertson came
here about two years ago, worked the
lodge racket and finally interested sew
eral parties in a scheme to organize a
life insurance company. Later, when
his hackers became skeptical and re-
fused to sign the articles of incorpora-
ton Robertson signed for them and
pocketed premiums which he received
from people In the county. He was ar
rested in st. Paul and bailed out by his
brother-in-law, Commissioner Gleason.
Robertson jumped his bond and, after
much advertising, was apprehended at
Kankakee, Ill.
