Devils island, where Capt. Drey- fus, the French officer is confined, is a hot and barren strip of sand and rocks Cn the coast of French Guiana between the mouths of the Orinoeo and the Amazon, says the Owensboro Messenger. French Guiana IS a convict colony, and Cayenne is it's capital. Nearly all of the political exiles of France ard many criminal offenders are sent there and sett.e upon the government lands and live like ordinary emigrants with their families, but they cannot leave with ont permission Of the governor, and are under nominal surveillance. Oe
 easionally they escape in open boats by following the coast into Brazil or British or Dutch Guiana, and some times they go overland, but the country is so rough and the savages so warHke thas they take dangerous chances, and very few ever come out alive. The most desperate con-

tons expedition to the Laguna de Bay
district re-embarked last evening, an
chored for the night at the head Of
the River Pasig, and reached Manila
this morning, bringing all the men
and the captured insurgent boats.
Its objects-namely, the capture of
the insurgents boats and the distribu-
ton of the proclamation, emphasized
by the lesson of American power
throughout the lake region, have been
attained.
Gen. Lawton Immediately began
preparations for an important expe-
dtion on land. There has been no
fighting on the lake for three days.

Cablegram from Manila Sets Onicial

Cablegram from Manila Sets Omcial
Washington Talking.
Washington, April 1S.-No dispatch
in many days has provoked the excit-
ing comment called out by the cable
gram from Manila, asserting Gen.
Lawton's claim that 100000 more
troops are needed for the Philippines.
With no disparagement to Gen. Otis,
war department officials, without ex-
ception, believe in Gen. Lawtons judy
ment, and the statement is startling.
He is an experienced Indian fighter,
and is meeting the same kind of war
fare in the Philippines.
Gen. Lawton says not only are 100,-
600 men needed to put down the rebel
lion in the Philippines, but that all
the cities captured must be garrisoned
and held. He criticises Gen. Otis pan
of having him evacuate Santa Cruz and
other places which he had taken, say
ing that Santa Cruz is an important
strategic point and should have been
held
1t has been known that the presi-
dent was most anxious to avoid using
the authority given him by the army
reorganization law of the last congress
to call $4,000 additional men to serve
until July l, 1901.
Mr.. Mckinley has been led to believe
that the $1,000 men of the regular army
would be sufficient to control the sit
uation in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. Under this belief the vol
unteers have been mustered out as rap
idly as possible and by the end of the
month none will remain in the service
except those under Gen. Otis.
The demands by governors of west
ern states for the mastering out of the
volunteers serving in the Philippines
and the assertions of officers in Cuba
that conditions in that island make it
dangerous to attempt to preserve or
der with only the garrisons of the reg
ular army retained are causing many
Of the officials here in Washington to
think very seriously whether at least
a portion of the number of volunteers
authorized by law should not be called
into service.
1t is argued that if such action be
taken at once the government will be
able to re-enlist all that may be
needed from regiments which have
been mustered out or which are now
severing their connection with the vol
unteer army. Most of these men have
had the discipline of from nine months
to nearly a year in the service and
would be Immediately available for
duty.
The president would also be able to
select officers who have had training
and executive responsibility and to
choose from those of the staff mus
tered out men familiar with the duties
of their positions.
Adjt.-Gen. Corbin says the question
has not been considered and is not now
under consideration. but that should
the necessity arise the president will
not hesitate TO use the authority given
him and call into service such num-
Der of volunteers as the emergency
may require.

MAY CALL TROOPS.
President Considering Plan of Asking
for Soldiers.


for Soldiers.
Washington, April 1S.-President
Mckinley is said to be seriously con-
sidering the advisability of issuing a
call for volunteers for the provisional
army Of 80, 900 for service in the Phil
ippines. There are persistent rumors
that he has decided upon such action,
but they cannot be verified in authori-
tatlve quarters. Adjt.-Gen. Corbin,'
who has the full confidence of the
president in matters relating to the
army, says the president has not dis
cussed or considered such a call. On
the other hand, men who have seen
the president during the last two or
three days in the interest of appli-
cants for commissions, have come
away from the white house with the
impression that a call would probably
be issued in a short time.

Bonds Gained One-half Point.
other Bonds Dull.

New York, August 3.--Today's stock market
was almost entirely professional and was dull
except in one or two spots. symptoms OF
strength we're confined to few of the spe-
cialties, notably Tobacco. which made up a
large proportion of the days total transao-
lions. The movement in this stock was at
tributed to manipulation directed against the
shorts, whose enorts to cover helped the ad-
W bee. Sympathetic strength was shown by
Continental Tobacco.
There have been recent purchases OF steel
abroad. but these were simply. the result OF
great scarcity and large demand in this coun-
ny. Dispatches reported threatened plague
OF grasshoppers in Western States, and these
were used with effect to depress the granger
stocks. The trunk lines were also heavy.
The recent buying by London IN the market
came to stop, owing to the decision of the
London exchange to close from Friday until
Tuesday over the bank holiday on Monday.
The strength was maintained, and isolated
railroad stocks, such as the Southwesterns
and some of the Southern stocks, showed net
gains The undertone of the market was
heavy until the close, Notwithstanding sud
den marking up of Brooklyn Transit.
The retention by the bank of England OF
its existing rate OF discount instead OF an ad-
vance failed to have reassuitng effect The
priv ate rate of discount in London advanced
a fraction above the bank rate. Sterling eX-
change In New York resumed its downward
course. notwithstanding the advance IN the
London private rate and the announcement OF
shipment from Australia to San Francisco
of u, 615 in gold. In Paris rentes the ten
dency was downward again. The decline in
the local money market was after most OF the
day business was over and without signlh-
canoe.

&c cd demand today aud gained II point. Other
wise the bond market was dull and rather
irregular. Total sales, par value, 81, 10Seo.
