New War Secretary Believes More Troops
Are Needed in the Philippines.
When the Campaign Is Resumed in the Fall Gen.
eraI LaWtOn Will Have Charge of the
Active Military Operations.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, VEL
LINGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON,
Aug. 4.-Secretary Roots short expe
rience in the War Department has al
ready convinced him that the views Of
military commanders, subordinate to
General Otis, who favor a larger mill
tary force than recommended by that
officer, are worthy of serious considera
ton. There are reasons to believe he
will recommend that the force be fur
ther augmented.
Secretary Root and General Corbin
will visit Lake Champlain on August
IL to remain several days, and the
whole Philippine situation will be thor
oughly discussed with the President.
1 understand the plan of operations
for the fall campaign contemplates the
division of the islands into several mil
itary departments, and General Law
ton will have command of the one in
which cavalry troops will operate.
It is probable that General Wheeler
will be given command of a brigade Of
cavalry in General Lawton's depart
ment. The boundary line of Lawton's
department will embrace the territory
in which there will probably be the
heaviest fighting, so that Lawton will
be in direct charge of the most impor-
tant forces in the field and in this way
General Otis, while not being officially
turned down." will be relieved of
much responsibility in connection with
the conduct of the war, and will be
left free to perform the duty of mill
tary Governor.
Secretary Root is in accord with the
programme for increasing the force in
the Philippines. and with the general
plan outlined by General Otis for the
fall campaign. which has been ap-
proved by the President. The Secretary
has seen many communications favor
ing a larger force, however, and if
there is not decided improvement in
the situation it is understood he will
advocate the sending of several addi-
tional regiments in time for the au-
tumn operations.
Secretary Root favors an effective
fighting force of about fifty thousand
in the Philippines. With the provis-
ional army of fifteen thousand already
organizing, thirty thousand regulars
already in the island, three volunteer
regiments organizing there, and non
combatants of the Signal and Hospital
Corps, a total of about $4,000 has al
ready been provided for, but the Sec
retary would like to see this number
still further increased by several regi-

OTIS MADE ERROR
IN OFFICIAL CABLE

WASHINGTON, Aug. A. General
Otis to-day cabled the following: Ma
Mia. Aug. 4.-Adjutant General, Wash
ington: Error in cable yesterday. Min
nesota and South Dakota take trans
port, not Montana. OTIS"
The cable of yesterday caused con-
siderable dissatisfaction in Minnesota,
as it had previously been announced
that the Minnesota Regiment was to
sail next. Inquiries from the War De-
partment developed the error.

ments of regulars. There seems to be
no intention to call for any more vol
unteers.
General Lawton. it is understood, is
anxious for more cavalry troops, and
this request will probably be complied
with.
General Otis is already organizing
one additional regiment to be known as
the Eleventh Cavalry. The Fourth
Cavalry is now in the Philippines and
eight troops of the Third are under
orders to go. The Sixth Cavalry at
Fort Riley will doubtless be among any
additional regiments ordered to rein
force General Otis.

FIGURES ARE ELOQUENT
All Industries Practically Behind
the Demand and Outputs Are Sold
a Year Ahead

New York, Aug. Pr. G.. Dun e.
Co. s Weekly Review of Trade will say
tomorrow:
Nothing is more eloquent than the
figures. Actual payment through the
principal clearing houses for the week
were 231 per cent. larger than last
year and 56.2 per cent larger than in
the same week in 1882. For the month
thus far the daily average of payments
has been 26.2 per cent larger than
last year and $50 per cent larger than
in 1892. Tonnage from Chicago in
three weeks has been S0.7 per cent,
larger than last year and 74.6 per cent,
larger than in 1892.
1t is q consumers business also. Per-
haps never before have demands for
actHal use controlled business and
prices with so little speculation to an
ticipate higher markets. In fact the
rise in most articles has gone farther
than speculative opinions have war
ranted. Practically all industries are
some months behind the requirements
for actual use and in many much OF
the output next year is already sold.
Iron works which supply PittsburG
Is sold up far into 1900 and can do
nothing though prices much beyond
what they received are paid by those
who must have iron this year. The
enormous demand for more railroads
and rails and cars, more vessels, ware
houses and buildings to handle the eX-
traori;!nary business in progress can
not he mex &C quickly as men would
like and work of all sorts is delayed
from the biggest war vessel TO the
smallest factory.
The boot and shoe business is like
wise crowded not so far ahead of pro-
duction. but farther tESn marv pro-
ducers like by the clamolNus deraand

Cape Haytien, Hayti, Aug. 25.-Severe
fighting took place yesterday and the
day before in the vicinity of Monte
Cristi, San Domingo, between the gov
ernment forces and the revolutionists.
1, is said the former lost heavily, while
the latter owing to the advantageous
positions which they occupied, suffered
only slight loss.
The revolutionists are reported to be
receiving reinforcements continually
Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 25.-1n Do
minican mail dispatches just received
here it is said that the government of
San Domingo is paralyzed, and that
the revolutionary movement has
highly developed organization and is
commanding popularity and exciting
enthusiasm throughout the republic,
even in the interior and capital San
tago it is added, is preparing to de-
clare in favor Of Jiminez. The city
of San Domingo alone Is loyal, but even
there revolutionary demonstrations
have been forcibly repressed, manifes-
toes of travellers Confiscated and sew
eral arrests made. The government
retains no real standing ground else
where The movements, II is said, are
national and not merely political, and
the people are only awaiting the ar
rival of Jiminez to assume the leader
ship, when many of the remaining gen.
erals, with a large proportion of the
army, will join him.
The governments only reliance is the
navy, which is Loyalty endeavoring to
capture Jiminez and thus break up
the revolution.
