NO CALL FOR STATE TROOPS.
Gen. Corbin Says the Country Has Gone
Crazy Soldering.

Chicago, June 22.-The Evening Jour
nails Washington special says, teIe-
graphing yesterday: There absolutely
viii he no call for state volunteer organ
izations." This statement was made to
me this afternoon by Adjutant General
Corbin. Il wish" he added with en-
phasis, that l could make the public
understand or believe this fact" The
general delivered a heavy blow to
strengthen his statement. In the course
of his subsequent remarks he used his
fists freely. He was evidently in earnest
and somewhat carried away with his
subject He continued: THE depart
ment has a well matured plan for rails
ing the provisional army. But the pro-
visional army has not yet been called
for. and 1t is not proper to discuss the
plan. But one thing is certain. The state
volunteer organizations will not be
called. You can make that as strong
as you wish.
The misunderstanding on this point
IS remarkable and distressing. The coun-
try seems TO have gone crazy on soldier
ing. 1t is in the air. There is a fever
Clerks are leaving good places. boys are
leaving good homes. There are ten ap-
plicants for every man we accept And
last week we enlisted 1.027 men. There
seems to be no principle about it. 1t is
Just a fever for soldering. Those who
are in want to get out, and those who
are out want to get in. But, as I was
saying. the department has a well-ma-
tured p'en for increasing the army If
II should seem best to do so.
1T will be done quietly by enlist
meuts, just as the regular army is
raised and as the immunes were raised
during the late war. Only the very
best men will be taken-men who want
t. make fighting a business. We do not
want this office crowded with mothers,
fathers. relatives and friends Of the boys
who want to get out. We will take the
pick Of the men in a moral. physical and
mental way. But there Will be no call
for state volunteer organizations, and
there is on need for gentlemen who are
looking for commissions to get excited"

wATTERsoN Is OUT OF POLITICS.
Does Not Care What Happens So It Does
Not Happen to Him.

Not Happen to Him.
New York, June 22.-Henry Watterson
told a reporter that he had not come 10
New York for the purpose of comforting
with gold Democrats or any other Dem
ocrats, despite the reports to that effect
which have been sent out from Louis
Vile Il only learned yesterday" said
Watterson, that l am in New York to
make provision for a meeting Of sound
moEey Democrats. / had not been pre-
viously advised Of this. / know nothing
about any such conference and would
not attend one If / were invited to do
so. am out of politics and unadvised
of the purposes and doinGs of the prac-
tical or professional politicians. The
truth is. that as far as politics is con-
cerned, / care very little what happens
so 1t does not happen to me. and it can
not.
Il have no doubt whatever that Mr..
Bryan and the platform of '96 will be
repeated at Chicago. OF course. amid
the summer drouth there is a good deal
of political speculation at long range to
while away the hours by the sad sea
waves, but all this is speculative. The
eastern Democrats. who undertake to
control these wild horses of the west
and south. will fare no better in 1900
than they did in 1896. 1t looks to my
mind that the campaign Of 1896 will be
repeated in 1900 with a few addenda to
bring matters down to date"
Colonel Watterson explained that by
ad6enda he meant such planks as anti
trust and anti-expansion. Asked what
he thought of this platform and of its
chances for success. the colonel replied:
Every body knows how 1 stand on these
matters. and it is not worth while to
talk about them"

toward the coast, according as ext
gencies demand. General Wheaton re-
turned to linus today. bringing three
men who were wounded in yesterdays
fighting. The heavy rains that fall

bic. The roads are still good, but the
rice fields adjoining them are pools of

Filipino Women Ready to Fight.
1t is impossible to learn what effect
the recent defeat has had upon their
leaders. This should be disheartening.
for they had boasted that the Ameri
cans could never conquer the province
of Cavite-Aguinaldo's home country,
where he always worsted the Spaniards.
General Otis recently received a letter
signed by native women of the province,
declaring that if all the men were killed
the women would still keep up the fight
against the Americans. Copies of the
insurgent organ Independencia show
that the Filipino hopes of success are
kept afiame by political movements in
America. The Independence prints re-
ports of alleged speeches made at al
legged meetings in the United States
denouncing the war. and il asserts that
these represent the dominant American
sentiment.
Base Their Hopes on Our Politics.
1t declares also that the Filipinos will
continue the war until the next presi-
Dental campaign, which is sure to re-
suit in a decision to withdraw the
American troops from the Philippines"
1t is reported that the Spanish garrison
at BaIer. in the province of Principe,
on the east coast of Luzon, which had
become reduced to thirty-three men,
has finally surrendered to the Filipinos
after holding out for a year. The Fill
pinos imprisoned two Englishmen at
Tachlobon. on the Island Of Samar,
southeast of Luzon. The British first
class cruiser Grafton steamed to that
point from Cebu and her commander
demanded their release. When this was
refused he landed a force of marines
and cleared his ship for action. where
upon the Englishmen were handed over.

for five years that she could not turn
over in bed alone. After using two
bottles of Electric Btters, she is
wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work" This supreme rem

nervousness, sleepness, melancholy,
headache, backache, fainting and

medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly,
