onment have just been obtained. Ii
was Mt first reported that his con-
domination by the Filipinos was due
to the friendship he displayed toward
Americans. but the information just
received shows the accusation against
him was not based on the peace con-
ferences at Manila. as supposed. They
confirm President Schurman's belief In
his insincerity. and show that his al
yocacy OF autonomy among the lnsur-
gents was treated as treason. The
charge against the colonel was that III
conversation with Filipino officers he
predicted that disorders within the IN
surgent territory would lead TO clVh
war. and, therefore, he SAID he con-
sidered autonomy under the Amerl-
cans preferable to independence. Inc
Filipino congress tried MN on the
charge of treason, and heated debate
over autonomy followed. Finally the
colonel was sentenced to death, put
tnis was committed to twelve years
imnrisOnment on account or his pre-
yious services to the cause, AFTER an
eloquent plea made by his counsel.
Col. Arguelles is one OF the most
conservative and respected men identl-
fed with the insurrection. The rebeis
have learned that the American vol
unteers are returning to the united
States. and the Filipino newspapers
show that they construe this to mean
that the Americans are abandoning
the war and are encouraged thereby.

Cleveland. Ohio. June 24.-The hope

the strikers at a meeting rejected, by
an unanimous vote, the proposition

proposition Of the company states that
it is willing and ready to take back

such Of its employees as It's business de-
mands, aggregating at the present time
80 per cent of such employees, and as
vacancies occur will give preference to
such former employees, excepting al
ways those that have committed un-
lawful acts against the company, Its
property or employees during the pres

after the conference of the representa-
tives of the company and the commit
tee of the strikers had come to an end
that the strike would end today, but
the strikers furnished surprise
After rejecting the proposition of the
company the strikers began the work
of drawing up proposition Of their

While France has surrendered her
self to a wild fury of anti-Semitism,
one of that race has passed from q
worli which, perhaps, she had benefit
ed and blessed more than any other
private individual. Glare, Baroness de
Hirsrh, was not only the richest wom-
an In Europe; her whole fortune and
life itself-a life overshadowed by an
incuwable disease-were devoted to
philanthropy. 1t is said that no worthy
cause ever appealed to her in vain. No
thoughtful person can countenance the
common vituperation OF race TO
which Baroness Hirsch belonged. Even
the thoughtful sometimes seem to for
get that Christ Himself was Jew.

Chicago, June pa special dispatch
from Washington to the Tribune says:
President Mckinley has decided to
call for volunteers for service in the
Philippines. 1t has been determined
to form at least nine regiments, and
possibly twelve.
For the present the president deems
nine or ten regiments enough, and 1t
is understood this number is based on
the representations made by Gen. Otis,
who is said to have recently amended
his estimate Of the force he will need
I'm maintaining peace in the islands.
There are now 1900 regulars in the
Philippines and there will shortly be
n reinforcement Of at least 1900. This
furnishes Gen. Otis with the army he
desired in the earlier estimates from
Manila. Lately. however, he has had
occasion to revise these figures, and
under the influences Of the more 1b
eral estimates of Gen. LawtOn and 9th
or advisers he has informed the Wash
ingtOn officials that the presence or
1900 to 1900 volunteers to supplant
the force Of regulars will be safe
guard.
Actual enlistment for the new vol
unteer regiments will be under the
army officers and the records will be
similar to those which attended the re-
cruiting Of volunteers at the outbreak
of the late war 1t Is probable the
company strength will be maximum,
and this would give for nine regiments
a volunteer force Of at least l2,Vo.
The call for troops will be issued as
soon as the necessary arrangements
for recruiting system can be made.
