THE TROOPS
OTIS NEEDS
Thirty Thousand Will Be a
Sufficient Number.
WAR DEPARTMENTS PLAN
Is to Draw From the Garris0ns IN
This Country and Send the
Men to the Philippines

Washington, May 30.-The Post to-
morrow will say: General Otis has IN
formed the war department that he Will
be satisfied if the army under his COM
mand is kept at a maximum strength OF
80, 900. The president will give him this
number. The situation in the Philip
pines was the subject of an extended
conference today etwee the president
and A%djutant General Corbln. In we"
of the more or less alarming report IS
| which have been sent to the United
| States from Manila it is important TO
; know that the president does not snare
in the anxiety which these dispatches
have created. Genera Otis has kept IN
close touch with the authorities here
and if he was in a tight position, which
the press reports seem to indicate, ~ IS
felt that he would not hesitate ABOUT
making the dilemma known. On the
contrary, the advices received from
him show that he is not in need OF q
largely increased army. He has cabled
tina press reports Of activity OF the IN
surgents south Of Manila have been
! greatly exaggerated and he thinks 10000
| men will be amply abundant to meet all
requirements.
The present strength of the army in
the Philippines, including volunteers
who are still in the service, IS $4,000.
! When the volunteers return some 24,OOO
regulars will remain, or 5000 less than
the number estimated as necessary by
General Otis. The reinforcements now
en- route to Manila, or under orders to
depart, will bring the total regulars up
to the required figure, but as there will
be considerable loss through sickness, it
is proposed to decrease the companies
now stationed in garrisons in this u
try to the minimum and increase the
companies in the Philippines to the
ment will give General Otis all the men
he requires without d~isarranging the
army as it is at present distributed.
1t can be stated on authority hat I'M
less General Otis asks for an additional
force there will be no enlargement of
the army, not even to the extent of re-
cruiting the So, 900 natives provided for
in the army reorganization bill which
passed the last congress.
Washington, May 30.-Secretary Alger
tonight cabled General Otis to advise
him at once what further reinforcements
he may need after the arrival of all the
regular troops to be dispatched to the
Philippines to replace the volunteers
whose time is out. Secretary Alger has
furnished General Otis detailed Informal
ton as to the plan of assignment of the
regiments to his command. Pending
General Otis report final decision on fur
Their augmentation of Otis forces will
be deferred.

CHRIsT,s RIRTH NIGHT.

BY Margaret c. Bissand.
You are none too soon.
o Golden Moon,
To tell US that tale you know,
How years agone,
a babe was born,
In a manger mean and low.
Were you, young or Old,
Silver or gold.
or q crescent vapor pearled?
When Christ appeared,
or had you steered
To the other side of The world?
o diamond star,
In realms afar, <
Did you shine on that blessed face?
Ard within II see,
Gods divinity,
From The light Of your great high place?
Ye hills embossed
With white boar frost
Did you hear these angels sing?
While circl-ug round
All halo-crowned,
GLORY to God our King?'
Was there withdrawn
In that carly dawn,
A something no tongue may tel!
or if you had speech,
You mute things each.
Could you pirate Of what there befel?
ii were such a boon,
O benefcent MoOni
To tell US as there you swing,
OF that YOU do know,
in the long ago,
OF the birth of this Christ, our King!

One important trait in Cecil Rhodes

lated by Mr.. Study when the former

ternoon when Cecil Rhodes was returning

the day, a mongrel dog, fleeing from the
lash of an inhuman Boer, took refuge al

the young fellows hand and whining pit

Boer, and III thrash the life out of him. ,

his hand upon the dogs head. Il rather

tied TO its wharf. Some were dug-out ca
noes, others were fatboats, and at one OF
two large houses We saw steam Launches.
Some of the rowboats are painted IN bright
colors. and not a few have canopies or COW
ers over them. under which their owners
can crawl TO keep out OF the sun
AS we passed the huts the people usually
ran out OF them and dragged the boats UP
on the banks. Sometimes they jumped into
their boats and rowed them out from the
land to prevent the waves made by the
steamer from overturning them and filling
them with water.
There are no roads in these Amazon for
ests. The only paths are those which go
from one rubber tree to another. These
are too rough and winding for the people
TO. use in the way of travel, and they lead
10 no particular place. The only roads are
the streams. The people go visiting in
boats. They carry their cacao and rubber
to market in boats, relying entirely upon
this method OF getting from one place TO
another.

the Amazon sweeps with great force. The
river is about 240 feet deep, and IL goes so
fast that in stopping we could not rely upon
the ships anchor, but also had a cable tied
from the boat TO the bank. AS soon as this
was done men in canoes came out TO the
steamer. and upon one OF these 1 went

In which chocolate is made, and the peddlers
brought tins of chocolate on board TO sell.
Above Obydos there are many cacao
orchards. They line the banks of the Anna
zon for miles. The trees look much like
lilac bushes. They are from fifteen to thir-
ty feet high and branch up in sprouts from
the bottom. They have gnarly branches,
and the leaves and fruit sprout directly
from the limbs. The fruit when ripe is Of
an orange hue streaked with red. 1t is the

seeds are the cacao beans OF
They have black hearts full of oil. When
ground the hearts make the chocolate and
the shells Of the seeds form what we call
cocoa.
The orchards here are very poorly cared
for. The most of them are old, and al
though there is plenty of ground for new
trees, very few are planted. Still, the bust
ness pays well. TIL trees begin to yield
fruit three years after they are set out.

fifty years. Two crops a yer ere gathered,

THE BALTIMORE ELECTION.

1t Results in a Landslide For the DEM
ocratic Ticket.
Baltimore, May 3.--One of the most
exciting campaigns in the history Of
Baltimore city resulted yesterday in a
Democratic landslide. Thomas G.
Hayes was elected mayor by nearly
5000 majority over William T. NAL
ster, Republican, the presentincumben
while his running mates, Skipwith
Wilmer, for, president of the. second
branch of the city council, and James
Fl. Smith, for comptroller, were, chosen
by practically the same figures. In adj
dition to these candidates at large the
Democrats elected all of their candi-
dates for the second branch Of the city
council, and IS of the "a members Of
the first branch.
Yesterdays election is the first under
the charter for Baltimore city adopted
by the legislature last year. Under
it's provisions the municipal elections
are held in May, so as to divorce as far
as possible municipal politics from
state and national issues. 1t also
changes the term of the mayor from
two to four years, the terms of the
comptroller and president of the Sec
ond branch of the city council being
for like period. The city is divided
into four councilmanic districts, each
district to have one representative in
the second branch Of the city council,
who are also chosen for four years.
The first branch of the city council is
composed Of one representative from
each ward and it's life is two years.
All of the candidates elected yester-
day will assume their Offices on the
third Wednesday of November next.
