Otis's Place.

Washington. Aug. l6-It il gener-
ally believed among the officers 10 the
war department that the return OF
the president from his outing will be
promptly followed by preparations for
very vigorous campaign In the Phil
ippines. Secretary Root has on sew.
eral occasions expressed himself as
favoring the massing Of an army In
Manila sufficient TO crush Aguinaldo
and his followers To do this II il
believed that more troops will be re-.
quired than are now in the service,
Notwithstanding the fact that the ten
regiments recently called for are prac-
tically all Hlled. The impression
seems to be very general In war de-
partment circles that at least five
thousand more volunteers will be
asked. for and that Ave additional reg
iments will be organized. This can be
done under the army act, aud II il un-
doubtedly the policy Of Secretary Root,
after consultation with the leading
officers Of the army. TO have n body Of
men available sufficiently large to ae.
complish the work laid out In tie
least possible time.
Notwithstanding the repeated aa-
suraneea that have been given to the
press TO the effect that the president
Ia entirely satisfied with the course Of
General Otis, II IL known that Secre-
tary Root Ia not 10 certain that anoth.
or officer could not do better work
than that gentleman has accomplished
In the past three months. In fact Sec
rotary Root has expressed himself TO
friends a. rather firmly Of the opinion
that General Miles is the proper man
TO be sent to the Philippines. His
early conference with the commanding
general Of the army and his subse-
quent consultation with the president
lead TO the belief that his views will
be adopted by the president, and that
otis will in consequence shortly
be superseded. Milss's ability AS an
Indian fighter has been 30 well
demonstrated In the past that he
is naturally looked upon by the Amsri-
san people generally as the ideal sol
der for such work as that which has
been laid out on the other aide Of the
earth. Miles is willing to 20, and In
fact Is anxious to close the campaign.

hdent that with force sufficient be-

Gold.

Gold in Roane county is fact,
says M. o. Howard, in an inter
view the other day. He has been
on the ground and assisted in To-
eating it few days ago. He has
been up there fourteen days and
says that some few years ago, a
man shaking logs down mountain
ravine, away out on the mountaine
near Lincoln, close to the Calhoun
line, plowed up glittering mug
get. He and some others made a
rude furnace and breaking the
nugget tested a piece of it, getting
from it bright metal resembling
gold. The other part they sent to
Chicago assayist who pronounced
it gold of best quality but wrote
them they need not look for more,
that it did not belong to West
Virginia They kept weather
eye out, however.
When about a year ago near the
same place two more nuggets were
found washed out by the rains.
One of these they sent TO a Mich
igan assayist who pronounced it
gold, but stated as did the former
Chicago parties that it did not be-
long to this State and no quantity
would be found there. Search has
been kept up however. An old
man named Boggs who is reported
to be wealthy and from Ann Ar
Dor, Michigan, has had man en-
ployed, who with himself has been
going over ground all summer, sue
ceeded in locating the spot whore
the pieces were broken from. 1t
is on the side of the mountain,
where three great stones of a
a peculiar character and shape are
standing up on edge, one by the
other, and in a position indicating
they were at one time thrust up
through the mountain by some
force of nature. No other stones
about are like them and in size
each of these would weigh perhaps
ten tons. There is quite an ex-
citement up there over the find
Mr.. Howard was along when the
find was made. In his opinion it
is a gold deposit, but it's a long and
perilous ride there, and he don't
expect to return, if he has to go
horseback.
