new PLAN FORMED
For Organizing Regiments From
Volunteers in the Phil
ippineS.

Washington, June 9.-The cabinet in
connection with the possible necessity
of enlisting a force of volunteers today
discussed a plan for the enlistment of
several skeleton regiments in Manila
from among the volunteers who desire
to remain in the service and the sub
Sequent filling out of these regiments
with recruits enlisted in this country.
Gen. Otis according to the plan, will
be given the authority to select the Of
ficers of these regiments from the vol
unteer officers who are to be mustered
out. The plan which cOmmendS itself
to the favor of the members of the ca b.
met generally would form nucleus of
veteran officers and men. seasoned to
the climate and familiar with the work
to be done. Such force, 1eaVened with
veterans, doubtless would be immeas-
urably superior to a force of raw re-
cruits undisciplined and unacclimated.
The plan was only discussed in con-
nection with future contingencies and
did not reach the stage of action. The
president announced to the cabinet the
names of the members of the Nicar-
agua-canal commission and there was
unanimous concurrence in the Selec
tons. The attorney general announced
that the army bill fixing the maximum
strength of the army at Co. 600, did not
include the enlisted force of the hospi-
tai corps, about $500 men, so that the
enlisted force can be increased by that
number.
most feasible and practical route for 4
canal across the Isthmus of Panama is
made up as follows

those less badly injured went or were
assisted to the Savoy hotel.
All morning there had been rumors
of a wreck, but officials of the railroad
steadfastly denied that any one had
been seriously injured and that the total
number of hurt would not go above
fifteen or twenty, all of whom they as
serted had received simple cuts and
would leave for the south on today s
train.
Engineer Brown, seen after the wreck,
said he was running under slow orders
because of the fact that rains had
damaged the roadbed. AT the time,
he said, he was proceeding slowly
around a sharp curve on an embank-
ment eight feet high The heavy en-
CINE, baggage and mail car which pass
ed the curve in safety loosened the
rails and caused the rear cars to leave
the track. The track was cleared by
noon today and trains were running as
usual
