FUTURE OF THE G. A. R.
A Resolution Proposing Radical
Change to Be Presented at Next
Annual Encampment.

ST. Louis, June 23.-The Post Dis
patch says that at the next annual en-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic, which will be the closing one
of the nineteenth century, resolution
will be introduced by an Illinois mem
Der to perpetuate it and take into it
the veterans of the navy, as well as of
the army. 1t will be proposed to change
the name to THE Grand Army and
Navy of the Republic" The resolution
will call for the amendment of the con-
stitution so as to admit all soldiers and
sailors who ever fought for the union.
all who are fighting for it now, and all
who may hereafter fight for the flag
and the principles which it represents
The reason for the movement is the
fact that the G. A r. is in process of
speedy and certain ultimate extinction.
by reason of having nothing. to recruit
from. 1t is probable that the COM
mander in chief will be memoriaIized to
appoint committee TO consider the
proposition, and take the necessary
steps to change the name and consti-
tuition at the next encampment.

TAKES PERSONAL COMMAND.
AguinaldO Again Leads the Filipino
Army-Masses Big Force at
San Fernando.

Manila, June 24.-Aguinaldo does not
seem to be satisfied with the attempt
of the insurgents to retake San Fernan-
do, and he has taken command of Gen.
Luna's army and has massed the largest
rebel force yet modified, bringing 1000
men from the Antipolo region. He is
exceedingly troublesome. Thursday
night his men wounded two members of
the Seventeenth regiment. Gen. Mac
Arthur's men are constantly on the
alert to repel any attacks by the reb-
els, sleeping upon their arms. The
general sincerely hopes that the Fill
ipinos will give him another chance for
a battle, for the soldiers really enjoy
an opportunity to fight them when they
can do so without wading through
swamps to catch them.
Railway trains between Manila and
San Fernando have been stopped for
several days while permanent repairs
were being made TO the bridges along
the route, but Friday traffic was re-
Sumed

TO CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
President said to Have Decided to
Send About 1900 More Men
to Gen. Otis.

Chicago, June 23.-The Washington
special to the Tribune says: President
Mckinley has decided to call for volun-
teers for service in the Philippines. 1t
has been determined to form at least
nine regiments and possibly II. For
the present the president deems nine
or ten regiments enough, and it is I'M
ierstood this number is based on the
representations made by Gen. Otis, who
is said to have recently amended his
estimate of the force he will need in
maintaining peace in the islands.
There are now $4,000 regulars in the
Philippines, and there will shortly be
a Reinforcement of at least 1000. This
furnishes Gen. Otis with the army he
desired in the earlier estimates from
Manila. Lately, however, he has had
occasion to revise these figures, and I'M
der the influence of the more liberal
estimates of Gen. Lawton and other adj
visers he has informed the Washington
officials that the presence of $4,000 or
$4,000 volunteers to supplement the
force of regulars will be safeguard.

Washington, June "a. = Secretary
Gage attaches no Importance to the en-
gagement at New York of 100000 in
gold for export. 1T is mere incident"
he said. 1T is possible that the expor
tation of the gold which was paid to
Spain in the settlement of our treaty
obligations disturbed the equilibrium
somewhat and has necessitated some
considerable shipments to again restore
the normal conditions of exchange"

MEETS OPPOSITION.
American Suggestion in Reference to
Protection of Private Prop
erty at Sea-

The Hague. June 23.-The American
demand for the protection of private
property at sea has not yet been pre-
sented to the peace conference. An
drew d. White, head of the American
delegation, on Tuesday requested the
president of the conference, NJ De
Staal, to submit the question TO the
conference, at the same time suggest
ing that the proper way to bring the
matter up for discussion would be to
assemble plenary conference, sub
NIT the question, and have it referred
to commission for examination. NJ.
De Staal has not yet arrived at a de-
cision, as the American proposal has
not yet been translated into French.
1t is the general opinion that the dele
gates of the great powers are abso-
lutely opposed to raising the ques-
ton, arguing the incompetence of the
conference to do so under the terms of
Count Muravieff's circular, NJ. De Staal
having declared at the opening of the
conference, with the approval of the
delegates, that under no circumstances
would the conference discuss any ques-
ton not contained in the circular. Sew
eral delegates declared there is little
chance of the question being discussed,
but that if it is discussed America will
be opposed with the utmost energy by
Great Britain and all the great powers.
After short sessions of the subcom-
mittees of war and navy, at which re-
ports by Maj. Gen. Den Deer Poortugael
of the Dutch delegation, and Count
Soltyk, the Austrian naval expert. were
respectively adopted, the first commit
tee met to discuss the same, in the above
order. The delegates declared in favor
of any state using any new explosives
or new inventions for ordnance, Russia
and Bulgaria alone refraining from
voting. The question of dumdum bull
let's was discussed, Maj. Gen. Sir John
Ardagh, of the British delegation, de-
ciaring that Great Britain did not de-
sire to use any projectile inconsistent
with the principles of modern war, and
that dumdums should only be used
against an unciviliZed foe. The con-
ference finally resolved in favor of pro-
hibiting the use of bullets which spread
or hatten out in the human body, such
as explosive bullets, bullets in a hard
ened case, which does not entirely
cover the point, or bullets with an in
cision. The British and American dele
gates alone voted in the negative The
use of any new explosives in projectiIes
from balloons was prohibited for five
years.
