Gen. Otis to Have 10000 Men by the
Close of the Rainy Season
in the Philippines.

Washington, June 20. - Secretary
Alger, Adjt. Gen. Corbin and Col. Bird,
assistant quartermaster general in
charge of transportation, had an hours
conversation with the president
Wednesday relative to the question of
reenforcements for Gen. Otis A def
mite decision has been reached to con-
tinue recruiting men at all the recruit
ing stations for service in the Philip
pines, and Secretary Alger said when
he left the white house, after the con-
ference, that Gen. Otis would have 49,
600 men when the rainy season closed
for resumption of active operations.
The decision to reinforce Gen. Otis by
the end of the rainy season is interpret
ted to mean that aggressive campaign
ing will cease until the bad weather
ends. Until that time our operations
will probably be confined to occasional
excursions to places in close vicinity to
our lines where the insurgents may
have congregated in force. By remain
ing quiescent under good shelter dur
ing the rainy season it is hoped the
health of our troops will be conserved
and the danger from climatic fevers
reduced to minimum.

SIGNAL SUCCESS

of the Standard at The Hague says:
The proposal of Mr.. Hollis, of the Amer

there is no doubt it will eventually be
approved. In the whole arbitration
matter the United States has scored a
signal success, most of the ideas of the
American delegates having been
adopted. Their representations in Ber-
lin secured Germany's assent. The full
conference will deal with the American
proposals as to private property at sea,
all opposition based on the question of
competence being abandoned. Most
probably, however, it will be adjourned
to a future conference.

Reaction on Being Released from
Prison Causes the Death Of a

Montgomery, Ala, June 2o.-George
Jones, negro, died Tuesday from ex-
cessive joy over being released from
prison. He was convicted of murder
several years ago, but the proof showed
he bore no i'll will against the victim,
and the prisoner stoutly maintained he
did not know the gun was loaded. His
good record and the attendant facts
finally brought pardon. On being re-
leased the happy negro hurried to his
home near Demopolis. Approaching
the old log hut, the unexpected conner
was greeted by mother, father and sis
ters, who ran to meet him. The joy
was too great and the big, lusty man,
for whom no task had been too severe,
swooned with emotion, expiring few
moments later in his mothers arms.

chief engineer; Luke Schinski, Sec
ond engineer, were rescued by members
of the crew of the steamer Sacramento
and taken into Lorain by the tug Cas-
cade. Duncan Coyle was picked up by
the passenger steamer State of Ohio and
landed at Toledo.
The barge Margaret Olwill left Kel-
| y's island at six o'clock Wednesday
night bound for Cleveland with a cargo
of stone. There was little or no wind
blowing and everything was favorable
for pleasant run. At eight o'clock the
wind began to blow from the northwest
and the little boat with thousand tons
capacity began to go at a lively clip. At
ten o'clock the gale commenced and the
wind blew at the rate of 50 miles an
hour. Suddenly the gale turned to the
northeast and Capt. Brown found that
the boat was making but little head
way and concluded the only thing to do
was to turn back and go with the
storm. According to the story of Coyle
it was two o'clock when the captain
gave the order to turn about. The ves-
sci had turned half way round when
the rudder chain parted and in an in
slant the boat was at the mercy of the
storm. She was caught between two
waves and as she was borne along the
top of one of them she rolled over on
the side. The cabins came loose from
the hull of the barge and foated on the
water while the rest of the ship went
to the bottom. Whether any of the
occupants were able to take advantage
of this it is not known, but Coyle says
he saw Schinski, the second engineer,
and Hefron, the wheelman, after the
boat went down, but that was all. Coyle
caught hold of part of the after cabin
and climbed upon it.

No country in the world except China

Jews from Russia a few years ago, and
the failure of the wheat crop about
