No Call For Volunteers.

Though determined to increase Cen
eral Otis command, so as to provide
him with $4,000 men, it is authorita-
lively stated that no call for vOlun-
teers will be issued, and renewed con-
fidence is expressed in the ability Of
this force to quell the insurrection.
The Strengthening of the administra-
tons confidence is the result of a
cablegram received from General Otis
indicating that he has at last found
the point through which the insurgents
ship their supplies, and that proper
steps have been taken in cooperating
with the navy to cut off the filibuster-
ing expeditions sent to the Island of
Luzon by friends of the Filipinos in
Hongkong.
Under the order issued, increasing
the companies of infantry to 12S men
each, General Otis will be provided
with force of 1854 men. In order
to increase his strength to $4,000 men
it has been determined to increase the
strength of each company, troop and
battery in the Philippines to $50 men.
Colonel Thomas Ward, assistant adju-
tant general, in charge of recruiting
expects that the 5000 recruits called
for will be enlisted and on their way
to San Francisco within ten days
While the administration expresses
the utmost confidence in the ability of
General Otis, with the regulars. to
cope with the situation, it is evident
that the sentiment is growing that the
president should call for volunteers in
order to provide that officer with at
least $4,000 men to begin the campaign
at the commencement of the rainy
season.

Remarkable Picture.

The most remarkable snapshot pic
ture in the world is owned by friend
of mine in town in Georgia" said an
enthusiastic amateur photographer to
a New Orleans Democrat reporter. Its
story is extremely curious. 1t seems
that he went one day to blacksmith
shop to get a shot at the men at the
forge. The smith was engaged on a
difficult piece of iron work, and had
two helpers. Just behind them, on a
shelf was a pint flask, full of yellow
ish-white liquor-evidently the corn
whiskey for which the native Georgian
has a peculiar liking. AS my friend
was preparing to take his picture one
OF the helpers caught sight of the bot
tie and communicated his discovery by
dumb show to his companion. The
smiths back was turned at the mo-
ment and the first man reached
stealthily for the prize, while my
friend unnoticed in the corner, quick
ly aimed his camera. 1t was a ccmical
scene and in his mind he had already
named the photo The Stolen Drink.
The helper uncorked the flask and took
a swift gulp, and his comrade snatched
it and did likewise Then for brief
other, and as they did so their foolish
grin gave way to such a stare of hor-
ror as 1 never saw before upon a hui
man face. l know. because it was then
that the camera clicked, and the pic
ture is as clear as a crystal The flask
contained carbolic acid. When my
friend took one print he broke the
negative so as to make the photograph
absolutely unique. 1t shows the for
ward end of the shop. In the fore
ground is the anvil, with the smith
bending over his work. Behind him
are the two helpers, one still holding
the flask, looking at each other. You
can see tragedy in their eyes as PLAIN
as print. 1t is a frightful and dramat-
ic tableau that could not be duplicated
by any sort of art

A Moving Mountain.

A travelling mountain is found at
the Cascades of the Columbia. 1t is a
triple-peaked mass of dark brown ba-
salt, six or eight miles in length,
where it fronts the river, and rises to
the height of almost 1000 feet above
the water.
: That it is in motion is the last
thought that would be likely to sug-
gest itself to the mind of anyone pass
ing it, yet it is a well established fact
that this entire mountain is moving
slowly but steadily down to the river,
as if it had a deliberate purpose some
time in the future, to dam The Column
bia and form great lake from the
Cascades to the Dalles. In its down
ward movement the forest along
the base of the ridge has been sub
merged in the river. Large tree
stumps can be seen standing dead in
the water on this shore. The railway
engineers and brakemen find that the
line of railway which skirts the foot
Of the mountain is being continually
forced out of place. At certain points
the permanent way and rails Fave
been pushed eight and ten feet out of
line in a few years. Biologists attri-
butte this strange phenomenon to the
fact that the basal which constitutes
the bulk of the mountain, rests on a
sub-stratum of conglomerate. or of soft
sandstone, which the deep, swift cur
rent of the mighty river is constantly
wearing away, or that this softer SUBJ
rock is of itself yielding at great
depths to thu enormous weight of the
harder mineral above.

Curious Partnership,

Of late years naturalists have be-
come acquainted with numerous exam
pies of animal partnerships. In one of
the Chicken islands, off the New Zea-
land coast, curious lizard, known az
the tuatara, and certain species of pc
trels, were found inhabiting the same
burrows, apparently on the best Of
terms. AS a rule the lizard is the ex-
cavator.
The lizard Feeds partly on worms
and partly on re remains OF fishes
SroUght to the Common table by the
petrol, both animals being thus bene,
flied by the partnership.
A feeble fish called the remora owes
its success in life to the powerful al
liances it forms. One CT it's fins had
been transformed into a sucker placed
right on the top of it's head, by means
OF which it attaches itself firmly to any
passing shark, whale or even ship. By
these it is transported without any
exertion on its own part over great
distances. Several small fishes have
been found also to habitually lOdge in
the mouth cavity Of Brazilian catfish,
sharing such food as the latter sue
ceeds in capturing.

Was the Giant of the CORDS.

William Kehrer, the marine who
died from yellow fever at Havana the
other day, was one Of the tallest and
strongest men in the corps. being
more than feet tall and weighing $50
pounds He was "a years old, and his
home was in Brooklyn. He was trans
ferred from the Columbia to the Reso-
lutte at League Island, going to Ha-
vana Dec. IA.
Kehrer was stationed with a corps
Of forty men on the Machina wharf
Up to June IL he was in the best of
health His case was not thought to be
yellow fever until June IA, for the
symptoms were not alarming The
barracks had been thoroughly fumi-
gated and precautions taken against
the spread of the fever.
Kehrers death was the first among
the marines and the second yellow
fever death among American soldiers.
The other was Patrick Twohig of the
Second Engineers, who died in Mari
anao in January.

The Ship Is Ready.

Fare thee well; the ship is ready,
And the breeze is fresh and steady
Hands are fast the anchor Weighing;
High in air the streamer's playing
Spread the saiis-the waves are swelling
Proudly round thy buOyant dwelling,
Fare thee well: and when at sea-
Think of those who sigh for thee.
When from land and home receding,
And from hearts that ache to bleeding
Think of those behind who love thee'
While the sun is bright above thee!
Then, as, down to ocean glanclns'
In the waves his rays are dancing,
Think how long the night Will De
To the eyes that weep Tor thee-
When the lonely night watch keeping
All below thee still and sleeping
AS the needle points the quarter
Ger the wide and trackless water,
Let thy vigils ever find thee
Mindful of the friends behind thee!
Let thy bosom's magnet be
Turned to those who wake for thee!
When, with slow and gentle motion
Heaves the bosom of the ocean
While in peace thy bark is riding,
And the silver moon is gliding
Ger the sky with tranquil splenoor'
Where the shining hosts attend her'
Let the brightest visions be
Country, home and friends, to thee!
When the tempest hoverS er thee'
Danger, wreck and death before thee'
While the sword of fire is cleaning
Wild the winds, the torrent streaming
Then, pioLS suppliant bending,
Let thy thoughts, to Heaven ascending
Reach the mercy seat to be
Met by prayers that rise for thee!

Kauai's Queer Well.

From the Hawaiian Star: A most
curious phenomenon has been observ-
ed IN the flow of an artesian we'll on
Kealla plantation, Kauai. The water
has regular variations in its flow, be-
ing lowest at 8 o'clock in the morning
gradually rising until it attains it's
greatest flow at 2 O'Clock in the after
noon, and then as gradually falling
until O'Clock in the morning Mana
ger George H. Fairchild of the planta-
ton thus describes the peculiar phe-
nomenon: The top of the pipe is ID
feet above sea level. At 8 there is a
flow of about loo, 900 gallons in TWEEN
ty-four hours. By adding 5 feet more
of pipe the flow stops. We have had
this extra 8 feet of pipe on top of the
well for month or more, waiting for
extra pipe to conduct the water to the
mill waere it is to be used We have
noticed a peculiar action of this COL
umn of water, and l have been unable
to find any explanation of it. If the
publication of the facts will lead to an
explanation l will be very much graft
fed. The column of water IN this feet
additional pipe placed to prevent the
flow at oSlock in the morning is at
its lowest point ~ inches below the
top Of the pipe. Then 1t rises until at
noon it begins 10 now over the pipe.
The flow incresfes until o'clock.

First in MalOlOS.

James j. Corkhiil of company b,
Kansas goth regiment, writes to the
Alan CkasD Enterprise this account OF
how it happened that the flag OF the
Goth Kansas was the first to float over
Malolos, the insurgent capital:
Eve were halted in the shade just
outside the city when Col. Funston
came gallopiEg down the line and told
our commander that the general want
ed a few men to advance ahead OF the
lines to reconnoiter. Lieut.. Ball and
sixteen men from company E were
chosen, your correspondent happening
to be one of the lucky number We
cautiously advanced into the outskirts
of the town and wendell Our way up
Main street although we didn't then
know it was Main street,, keeping as
much as possible under cover of the
bamboo shacks. We soon discovered
that the negroes had breastworks
thrown across the street and In front
Of the large Catholic church. Almost
at the same time they saw us and
volley of Mausers flew over our heads.
"'Well,' said Col. Funston, that's all
the general wanted to know but after
he held a little confab with Lieut.. Ball
they decided on a closer acquaintance
with our dusky friends. It's little
risky, but 1 think We can do it, said
Col. Funston. Come on, boys, let's
get them out of there
$50 away we went, up the street like
a whirlwind. yelling and shooting and
making racket enough to scare
whole army. Little Col. Funston, with
his revolver in one hand, was waving
his hat in the other and yelling: Give
it to them, boys. Give it to them'
1 guess the negroes thought that his
satanic majesty was indeed after them
or that the whole American army was
upon them, for, after firing a couple
of volleys at us, they turned and ran
as 1 never saw any one run before.
On through the public square We
chased them and clear to the other
side of the town.
"Thus it was that sixteen Kansas
boys, led by our brave colonel and a
daring second lieutenant, drove the in
surgents out of their capital city.
AN hour later, when we returned
we found that the army had poured in
and filled the town and our regiment
was sitting in the shade of Aguinaldo's
doorstep. Before leaving the insur-
gents had succeeded in setting fire to
the large church, which was now in
flames Many of the Chinese remained
in the town, and when our little squad
dashed into the public square it was
amusing to see the 'Chenomen' crawl
ing out of windows and cellars and
from under bridges, each carrying a
little white flag and shouting: tAmego,
Amego, Cheno much amegov"

Edward McGarry, the sailor of the
Resolute who was pardoned from
Portsmouth Jail by Gov. Rollins, where
he was serving six months sentence
for disorderly conduct, has gone home
to Norfolk, Va, says the Manchester
On. H) Union. Before leaving he
made from a piece of the aft rail OF
the United States steamship Maine a
paper weight, which Lawyer John H.
Bartlett, who was his counsel, has for
warded to Gov. Rollins. The design
was suggested by McGarry. The top
bears the inscription, Edward NC
Garry to Gov. Rollins while on the
reverse is neatly engraved, MADE from
the aft rail of the U. S. Maine
McGarry is an artist as well as a
sailor and has drawn a sketch of an
other paper weight which he is to
have made. When speaking of it he
said: Il wanted to show my apprecla-
ton of what your governor did for
me. The metal of which that paper
weight is made came from the United
States steamship Maine, now in Ha-
vana harbor- l took it from the
wreck myself, with a view of having a
large paper weight made to present to
the governor of Maine. This little
token which 1 am now having made
to send to Gov. Rollins is hurried af-
fair. 1 am going to give him a better
one. Here is a picture of it which
have designed. You see, the base is
to represent a rough rock, typical of
a sailor. On the top you see a sailors
hat, with the band U. S. S. Resolute
upon it, while upon the top of the hat
you see a pair of handouts, the con-
Meeting link of which has been cut in
two by a quill pen"
The whole affair will weigh nearly
pound and half and engraved upon
little tablet on the face of the rock
will be the words, Gov. Rollins freed
sailor of the Resolute."
On the bottom of the weight will be
engraved: Presented to Gov. F. W.
Rollins in remembrance of the kind
ness shown Edward McGarry of the
U. s. S. Resolute."
