AFTER THE VOLUNTEERS.
Officials Hope to Secure Their Re-Enlist-
ment-Granting of Furloughs
the Plan.

| WASHINGTON, June 2S.-An impress
sion prevailed at the war department
that large proportion of the volunteers
may be re-enlsted if some arrangement
can be made whereby the men can be
allowed to make visit to their friends
and relatives in the United States. The
idea is to re-enist them i'll the Philip
pines and give them furlough to re-
turn to the United States. This fur
.lough would be for at least four months,
more than half of which time would be
required to make the round trip from
Manila to the United States General
Otis has been forming four skeleton
regiments from the volunteers.
President Mckinley was in confer
ence for a time with Secretary Alger
respecting the best method of carrying
out General Otis desire to maintain at
least throughout the rainy season, an
effective fighting force of no less than
10000 men in the island. In the gen
erals last estimate, which was received
Monday, he asked for an effective
force of 10000 men. This last estimate
will oblige the war department. to secure
more troops. General Otis sick report
and his casualty list make it evident
that provision must be made at once to
supply il shortage of about 10 per cent
in his force.
The officials were taking into consid-
GRAFTON the assurance of the medical
authorities that no diminution in this
disability rate could be expected during
the wet season. but that the conditions
may grow even worse as the season ad-
vances. Many Of these men will have
to be invalided home to the United
States. it being demonstrated particu-
l;trly in the typhoid cases, that conval-
escence is rare unless the patient leaves
the Philippines. Thus the department
will be under the necessity of keeping
up steady flow of recruits from the
United States if General Otis desire is
10 be complied with.
The recruiting officers reports indi-
Gated an ability on their part to supply
1000 men week, more than sufficient,
it is believed, to meet General Otis
needs i'll the future, while as for the
present, the department has assembled
5000 recruits at San Francisco ready
for transport as soon as ships can be
found.
Asked about the question of addi-
tional troops in the Philippines Secre-
tary Long said all the troops General
Otis needed would be sent to him, but
General Otis had up to this time re-
Trained from asking for more. Besides
little could be accomplished during the
rainy season in the way of active cam
paignlng.

TIME TO QUIT.

The Chicago Chronicle has taken a
hand in the Kohlsaat-Foraker con.
controversy. "Let Hanna Call Of
His Dogs" is the title of an editorial
from which the following is an ex-
tract:
Joseph B. Foraker is a malodor-
Gus and unsavory politician. There
is no doubt of that. His record is
Shiny. 1t smells bad. Yet Foraker
is no worse than Marcus A. Hanna.
He is not 50 had. Whatever sins
may be charged to Foraker may like
wise be charged in tenfold ratio to
Hanna. Hanna would do better
quietly to nurse his rheumatism in
Europe than to conduct a campaign
of villificatiOn against a man who.
whatever his turpitude may be, is in
finitely less dangerous than is Hanna
himself. The attack coming from
Hanna looks bad. The devil cannot
rebuke sin with any prospect of
inspiring faith in his sincerity.
1t is not worth while to show that,
ii Foraker lobbied a street railway
bill through the Ohio legislature.
Hanna tried to do the same thing
and failed. 1t is not worth while to
point out that if Foraker was once
the friend and ally of BOSS" Cox,
Hanna is now that persons patron
and intimate.
Foraker has not debauched a
nation-has not trafficked in his
country's honor-has not swayed a
well-meaning weakling to courses
which threatened the American neo-
pie with such humiliation as civil
lized people have not suffered in
centuries"
The scant sympathy Hanna is get
ting from his own party in Ohio in
his attack on Foraker should be evil
dence that it is time to ''call off his
dogs"

RUMORED Pillar SHOT AGUINALDO
The Report Not Much Believed-A Fill
pino General, Believed to Be Aguin-
aldo, Seen Haranguing Rebel Troops.
Artillery Bombarded Blockhouses.

MANILA, June IS, a. m.-Major
General Otis ordered the opening to
trade of many important ports that
have been closed since the outbreak.
These include San Fernando, on the
west coast of Luzon; Aparri, on the
north coast Curimoa and all ports in
the islands of Samar and Leyte-
Many ships used i'll interisland COM
merce had been tied up in the harbor
here for months, and the shippers and
merchants had been urging the govern
ment to raise the blockade. When the
decision WIS made known yesterday
the scene i'll the customhouse was as
animated as the floor of an American
Stock exchange. 1t was a busy day.
Shipowners rushed to get their clear
ance papers.
There likely will be great boom III
the hemp business, which had been at
standsill. The ships will race to
bring the first cargoes before the de-
mand weakens. AS there is a heavy
export duty on hemp this will greatly
increase the revenues. The interests of
the natives, as well as the merchants
and traders generally, led General Otis
to take this action. Delegations from
the southern islands told HIM that the
cessation of business was bringing much
suffering to peaceful inhabitants.
Gunboats will protect the shipping in
some ports, but elsewhere shippers must
risk confscation by the insurgents, who
exact heavy tribute of all ships they
permit to sail.
The ruulor that Aguinaldo had been
assassinated was in circulation here
for several days. 1t was not believed,
but its currency gave it definite form.
According to the story, General Pho del
Pillar called on Aguinaldo on June 19
and accused him of causing General
Luna's death. Aguinaldo denied re-
sponsibiity, and added that he deeply
regretted Luna's death. General Pho
del Fiiar, as the story goes, called him
liar and scoundrel, shot him twice in
the head with his revolver and walked
away unmoiested.
The report found little credence in
Manila. A Filipino general, mounted
on big horse, with numerous staff,
has since been seen haranguing the
Filipino troops around San Fernando,
i'll Piunpamga province, and this officer
is supposed to be Aguinaldo.
Yesterday four guns of Hobbies bat
terry and other artillery bombarded the
Filipino blockhouses and trenches about
two miles north of San Fernando
The blockhouses, which had been used
by Filipino sharpshooters to annoy the
American outposts, were destroyed.
The enemy made 10 resistance.
Yesterday the Spanish consul general,
wearing Il brilliant uniform, visited
Major General Otis. He was received
IN the latter's office, which is hung with
portraits of Spanish royal personages.
In the course of a graceful speech he
said that the Spaniards in the Philip
pines would hold no resentment because
OF the past and would entertain no senti-
ments but those of respect toward the
new regime.
