MORE SOLDIERS FOR OTIS.
He In to Have Fore. OF mt Least xd,OOC
Men.


Washington. July 3.-lIavlng heard
from Major General Otis that lie needs
G,33S men to fill up the regular rcai-
ments. and about 1000 men for two
volunteer regiments. he was authorized
to enlist about 10000 men. This will
avtunlly give Otis about 1000 men.
Allowing for loss of IL per cent. for
disease, wounds, etc. which he states
as the present percentage OF "lnctfect-
ives he Will have, instead of an cf-
fcctivc force of 10000 men. one OF
nearly 80 900.
The War Department has anticipated
the need OF men for regular regiments
and has sent 2.G0O unassigned recruits
to Manila within two weeks. while
1000 recruits are now being drilled mt
the Preside. and will sail by the mid
die of the month. leaving only 1913
more men to be supplied to the regular
regiments.
1t Is confidently predicted that by
August LIST eight regiments to be or
gaiiizcd in this country and 1000 mon
required for two volunteer regiments
Mt Manila will be ready to proceed to
Otis aid.
In order to put the volunteers in ef
fectivc condition ms rapidly ms possi-
bic, eight military posts. one for each
regiment will be selected. to which re-
cruits will be sent as follows:
| Plattsburg barracks. New York:
Fort Thomas, Kentucky: Columbus
barracks, Ohio: Fort Sheridan. Illinois;
Leavenworth, Kansas, and the Pres!-
diO. California and probably Fort
Creek. Nebraska, and Vancouver bar
racks.
| The vacancies existing In the regular
regiments under General Otis COM
mnnd represent men whose terms of
enlistment have expired. and not cas-
ualtIcs. Nest of the vacancies exist
In regiments which sailed for Manila
with Merritt.
! or the volunteers 1880 still remain
In Manila, and they will be returned
as quickly as possible.
The fact that Otis has reduced to
two regiments the number to he or
gnZired ut Manila. and has asked for
1000 men to I'LL them up. shows that
he has had much difficulty to obtain
| rp-eniistmcnts of volunteers. 1t Is cs-
tImatcd that he has obtained only 500
men. not enough to form one regiment.
Under instructions to recruiting of
ticers. cnlistments for the years re-
cruiis intended for regular regiments
and enllstments of volunteers for two
years will be made. In ease of volun-
teers there will be no restrictions as to
citizenship. or to educational qunliii-
cations. Recruiting officers have pre-.
vinvsly been compelled to reject men
| who were not citizens of the United
States or We're uncducated, and have
gone so far us to throw out men who
were fiat-footed. While 1t is intended
to attain ns high n class of men for
the volunteer service MS possible, 1t Is
pointed out that the law will allow
enlistment of recruits showing suffi-
cient intelligence to perform the duties
of American soldiers.

nEADE COUNTY.

From the Globe.
Some of our farmers are not very
encouraging in their report Of winter
wheat, and think the severe winter
and absence of snow will freeze il
out, which is very probable.
During the north pole weather ou'
cosl merchants hadn't pound in
their bins-and worse and more Of
it most of our people were coa]less
It would be a cause for hearty Con
gratulations if our coal barons would
have q few bushels on hand when q
blizzard was on.
Considering the severe cold few
cattle have died. The heaviest loss
will be to large owners who have moi
the shelter or feed that the smaller
owners have. But with the best Of
shelter and feed many may consider
themselves in great luck if they pull
through the winter without severe
loes. =.
Reports from various parts of the
county say stock suffered severely,
many freezing to death, some in com
paratively good flesh. Twenty three
below zero in this high altitude is a
very severe degree of cold and the
only wonder is that more stock did
not perish. Taken as a whole
throughout the country the percen-
tage Of loss is small.
The Globe predicts good weather
for the next two weeks. After that
time rain or snow may come. March
will probably be stormy, but not very
cold, with perhaps some big SHOWS
that will seriously interfere with rail
road traffic. An early spring is
probable. And to 60 further into the

Crop Not Injured.
From the Hutehinson News. ior
A question which is much discussed
just ut present and which il of vital
interest, is whether or not the unus-
ual cold weather has seriously dam
aged the wheat crop. w. S. Yeager
returned, last evening, from a trip
over Reno, Kingman and Harper
counties. where he made careful in
quiry regarding the condition Of
wheat, and received the opinion of
different wheat growers All agree
upon one point and that is that it
cannot be positively determined just
at present how much or how little
damage has been done. Each wheat
grower has his own opinion, however,
and the majority believe that wheat
is not greatly damaged. There are
some who believe their wheat is Mt
terly ruined by too severe freezing,
but every year there are some who
are ready to prophesy evil. 1.-THE
wheat men say that no one can tell
positively until there is u week or
two of warm weather. Then the
wheat fields will begin to show their
real condition. During the long and
severe freeze the fields had little or
no snow, on them. What snow fell
was light and drifted to bitches or
fences. It is expected generally that
the crop in some places where the
seed was sown late will be consider
ably injured, but most of the wheat
growers appear to think this will be
the main extent of the damage done,
and that the early wheat will be all
right.
