Senior Frias, the Mayor, the Cuban
General Esquerra and Major Bowman,
commanding the Americans, rode
through the crowd, begging the people
to restrain themselves and ordering the
troops to stop. Their attempts were
finally successful. The Corporal in
charge of the pickets says he did not

were near insist that they heard him
give such a command.
Indignation runs high, but there is no
fear Of further trouble. The offending
officers have been locked up.

n Strenuous Advocate Of Rein-
forcements for the Philippines.

n Strenuous Advocate Of Rein
forcements for the Philippines.
NEW YORK, June 20.--A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Major General Miles is strenuous adj
vocate of the dispatch Of large REIN
forcements to General Otis in the Phil
ippines. General Miles declined to dis
cuss the military situation in the Phil
ippines other than to say that it was
serious nor would he give any idea
of the number of troops he though.
should now be sent to the Philippines
to place the archipelago under Ameri-
can control.
General Miles as far back as April
recommended that ten of the volun-
teer regiments which the President is
authorized to raise under the army
reorganization law. be reorganized and
sent to Manila. At that time officers
at army headquarters believed this
force would be sufficient to crush the
rebellion. In view of the strength de-
veloped by the insurgents they are not
now so sanguine that ten regiments are
enough. There will be 1900 men in
the ten regiments, the adyisability of
raising which the War Department is
now considering, but wel-informed off,
GERS say the force of $4,000 men which
General Otis will have when the re-
Inducements are placed at his dis
posal will not be sufficient.
Besides the island Of Luzon there are
many other islands in the archipelago
in which the Government will have to
restore peace and order and in the more
important ones there are organized
bodies prepared to resist occupation by
American troops.
General Marcus P. Miller, who re-
Gently arrived from the Philippines,
where he governed Iloilo, has been liv-
ing here since his return.
General Miller's view as to the num-
Der of men required for the subjuga-
ton Of the islands is very different from
that of General Otis. He believes g.
GOO men at least are required; 10000
for the control of Luzon and the re-
mainder for the restoration Of peace
and order in the other islands.
General Miller's view comedies with
General Lawton's and that of other
officers subordinate to General Otis. In
fact, in other than administration cir
cles, there is disposition to believe
General Otis estimate of the number
of men required was made when he
knew of the desire Of the President not
to raise volunteers if possible to
avoid it.
There is no truth in the story that
General Miles has applied to be sent
to Manila. General Miles would not
wish to take any action to displace Gen,
eral Otis, when that officer is doing all
he can to quell the rebellion with the
limited means at his command. Not
withstanding the report to the contrary
the President is satisfied with General
Otis course, and has no intention of
relieving or recalling him.
1t is equally untrue, it is asserted by
Acting Secretary Meiklejohn, that Gen
eral Otis has cabled that he will be
compelled to retreat unless promptly
reinforced. 55g ,atsasfs

ing changes:
M. Bertrand, Procurator General to
the Appeal Court, and M. Feuilloley.
Public Prosecutor, are both removed.

General Hartschmid, General Roget,
Colonel Sake and Colonel Coberlin are
transferred to other garrisons.
The Premier, M. Waldeck- Rosseau,
will read a draft of his speech in Par
lament tomorrow, which will be very
brief merely announcing that the new
Ministry has no aim but to follow out
the order of the day voted on June
18th on the motion of Joseph Ruau,
Democratic Radical, representing the
Second District of st. Gaudens, which
was as follows:
The chamber Is determined to sup
port only a Government resolved to
defend vigorously republican institu-
lions, and to secure public order and
passes to the order of the day.
M. Lombart as Advocate General re-
sumes his old post. General Roget was
the representative of the. General staff
before the Court Of Cessation. Colonel
Coubertin is credited with having adj
vised his men at Longchamps on Grand
Prix Sunday to fire if they heard the
army insulted in their presence. With
the exception of Coubertin, all the
transferred officers have received equal
ly important positions.
The fetes in memory of General
Hoche at Versailles passed off quietly.
M. Ribot, in the course of a speech
at banquet last night, and probably

EXTENDING THE SYSTEM.
New York Central About to Lease

NEW YORK, June 26-The Times
says that the New York Central is
about to acquire, under lease, the Bos-
ton and Albany railroad system. Under
the terms of the deal as agreed upon,
Boston and Albany shareholders will be
guaranteed 8 per cent. dividend for SO
years. Eight per cent is the dividend
they now receive regularly. though
earnings running beyond such rate
have provided extra cash disbursements
more than once
The Boston and Albany deal is the
personal accomplishment of William
K. Vanderbilt. 1t is not unlikely that
the absorption of the Boston and AL
bany will be followed by that Of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
system, now controlled by J. Pierpont
Morgan and the Messrs. Rockefeller. ,

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The Agri-

letin treating Of the probable success
of efforts of the department to estab-
lish the Smyrna fig industry in Califor-

the Smyrna fig. is dependent upon the
introduction from Southern Europe and
the establishment in California Of lit
tie insect which fertilizes the fig.
The bulletin says:
Since the insect has maintained itself
Tor an entire year, there Is reason to
suppose that it will continue to breed
and that California in the near future
will be able to place fig upon the mar
ket which will possess the same super
Tor flavor as that which has given the
ir1ported Smyrna figs their prominent
commercial rank" s98
