TO FORCE THE FIGHTING
General Otis Has Reorganized
His Army.
HOT WORK is EXPECTED
An Active Campaign Will Bs Started
This Week Against the Filipinos.
All the Troops Have
Disembarked.

Manila. Mach II, 1880 a. MIN all
probability the current week will see
the beginning of an active campaign
on scale hitherto unknown to the
Fiipinos. For the last few days there
has been unusual activity at headquar-
tiers and there is every indication of a
complete reorganization of the entire
corps in the near future. Since the ar
rival of the American reinforcements
several changes have been made, the
most important being the appointment
of divisional brigade under General
Wheaton, consisting of the Goth and
I'D regiments of infantry, eight com
panies of the Washington and seven
companies of the Oregon volunteers and
three mounted troops of cavalry and Il
battalion of light artillery. All the
troops have disembarked A battalion
of the 4th regular infantry is already
on the firing line, assigned to Near
thurs division. The others have been
held in reserve and are encamped m
the Luneta parade ground. A battalion
of the 18th regulars has been assigned
to provost guard duty, relieving the
Oregon volunteers.

A FORWARD MOVEMENT.
Otis Is Preparing to Attack the Filipino
Forces,

Washington, March lit was posi-
lively denied in the adjutant generals
office to-day that any dispatch had been
received last night from General Otis
regarding a conference with General
Lawton. 1t is well understood that Gen
eral Otis is only waiting the arrival of
the remainder of his reinforcements to
inaugurate an active campaign. al
though the department has heard moth
ing from him on this subject.
The department, according to it's Off
Gals, is awaiting with quite as much in
terest as the public some definite news
from the Philippines which will show
just how General Otis intends to utilize
General Lawton and his reinforcementS
in the campaign against the natives. 1t
has been quite generally understood,
without official confirma ton, however,
that General Lawton on his arrival
would be assigned to active command
of the operations in the field. leaving
General Otis more time for the admin
istratiVe duties of military governor
The fact is that none save very general
instructions have been sent to General
Otis and the department AYERS that it
has not tied the commanding generals
hands with any hard and fast orders.
The probabilities are that General
Lawton will take a very active part
in the offensive campaign soon to be-
gin. His training in Indian fighting
has particularly fitted him for his pres
emf command and General Otis is well
acquainted with his capabilities. One
of Lawton's numerous Indian soubri-
quets being literally translated is The
Man Who Gets Up and Fights in the
Middle of the Night" 1t was his sun
rise dash into Siboney that sent the
Spanish detachment there flying to
La Guasimas, leaving his breakfast on
the fire for the American troops to
eat. The department fully expects
LaWton to spring few like surprises
on the Filipinos. and is awaiting news
of the field campaign with proportion
ate interest

ceeulngs.
Captain I4ittell of the uuartermaster's
department had charge of the detachment
OF soldiers from the forts in this neigh
borhood. There were about 30 men. each
with krag-Jorgensen and a full belt of
cartridges. They formed in line at the

Herr Loewe and number of persons

The testimony in the Miles-Eagan dis
| pute al Washington has furnished the
| agraran press here with welcome ma
terial for the war on American meat.
Some of the comments are extremely
uncomplimentary to the American
packers. The Kreuz Zeitung says:
Since the testimony of General Miles
has proved that the packers are so con-
sciousiess as to furnish totally unfit
meat to their own soldiers at the front,
they would certainly not scruple to sell
similar meat to foreigners. We hope
these facts will not be lost sight Of
when the new meat inspection bill Is
considered in the reichstag."
AS the reichstag adjourns for Easter
on March %, the meat inspection bill
will not be discussed until the middle
of April, The chances of its passage
in the present shape have diminished
lately. owing to the revelations of Cen
eral Miles and also to the vigorous agi-
tation of the agrarian press
The correspondent of the associated
press learns that the government will
not object seriously to slight changes
in the wording of the bill. but an
amendment in the manner sought by
the asrarians would render it unaccept-
able.
Changes which had been contem-
plated in the administration of the
navy which have been considered for
long time, the correspondent is in
formed. will go into effect on the retire
ment of Admiral Won Knorr, the pres
ent chief of the navy. The emperor
Will then assume command of the navy
as he has exercised that of the army:
an admiralty and general staff will be
created with functions similar to the
army and general staff, the admiralty
staff to have separate chief, while
the functions and Importance of the
commanders of the naval station at
kiel and Wilhelmshaven will be en-
larged. The naval cadet system will be
reorganized and the number of cadets
will be doubled
Some of the newspapers said that Ad-
miral Won knorr is retiring because of
personal differences with the emperor
on the subject of changes in the cadets
system. This. the correspondent of the
associated press is informed, is untrue.
On the contrary, intimate cordial rela-
tions exist between the emperor and
Admiral Won Knorr. who is addressed
by his majesty by his Christian name,
Edward, and these relations will con-
tinue until broken. 1t is asserted that
Admiral Won Knorr is not the only high
official thus honored by the emperor
Baron Won Buelow is also Familiarity
dubbed Bernhard by his majesty.
Count Lendorff has resigned from the
Union club because admission was re-

sulate general are doing heavy bust

THE NEXT CENSUS.
No Clerks viii! BE Employed Until July,

No Clerks VIII BE Employed Until July,
1900.
Washington. March 1.-THE policy
that will govern the task of taking the
census of 1900 was outlined in an Off
cial statement made to the associated
press to-day by Director Merriam and
Assistant Director Wines. 1t will be at
least 30 days yet before a selection of
staff officer is made, with the excep-
ton of Professor Henry Gannett of this
city as geographer. The statement of
policy is as follows:
AS to prospective appointments to
office, the services of no more s.aff off,
GERS can be utilized at present and there
will be no others selected within GER
tainly 80 days. Professor Harry Gan
nett, the Wel1known geographer of the
geological survey, who was the political
and statistical geographer of the last
census, has been asked to take charge
of the same work for the coming CEN
sus, and If the geological survey is will
ing to spare him to undertake this work
he will be entrusted with it. Until the
schedules come back to the office of
the enumerators in July, 1900, there will
be no clerks wanted, save such a small
skeleton force as will be necessary to
take care of the correspondence and
office work preliminary to taking of the
census When the schedules come back
there will be a large force of employee
appointed. All applications for office
will receive consideration and a large
number already have been received and
placed on file. No political influence will
be sufficient to put an employe on the
census payroils of whose competency to
do the work to be assigned him the di-
rector is not satisfied in advance.
First of all, after the general admin
istrative officers are selected there must
be 300 supervisors appointed. and in
their selection consultation will be had
with senators and representatives in the
respective states. 1t may be announced
also that senators and representatives
who do not belong to the republican
party Will receive the same fair treat
ment and consideration along this line
that is given republicans. These super
visors will be appointed by the presi-
dent and confirmed by the senate The
supervisors, in turn, will appoint 40 00)
enumerators to do the actual work
throughout the country. In counting the
population every individual will be rep
resented by separate card and there
Will have to be manufactured and print
ed not less than 1000, 900 of these
cards The work will be pushed with all
possible speed consistent with accuracy
and every effort made to avoid drag
ging the work along unnecessarily"

San Luis Obspo. Cal, March 1.-THE
closing of the county bank was followed
to-day by the suspension of the Com
mercial bank of this place. The liabili-
ties of the county bank amount to about
$437 900 and the assets are placed at
$65000o. The Commercial bank paid
out $40. 900 in less than 10 minutes after
opening to-day and these certain indica-
lions of a run on the concern caused it
to close it's doors. The Commercial bank
is we'll connected with other banking
concerns and it is presumed that its
suspension will only be of a temporary
nature.
