Volunteers to 30 Enlisted Through Eff
forts of Recruiting Officers.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-The war de-
partment has nearly perfected the de-
tails of the project for the enlistment
Of volunteers under the terms of the act
of the last congress. There is to be
nothing i'll the nature of call, but, as
heretofore stated, the soldiers will be
obtained in the regular method
through the efforts of the United States
recruiting officers stationed in the vari-
GUS large cities. To this end, the
war department has already sent out
to these officers full instructions for
their guidance, as we'll as blanks for ell
listment and everything is now in shape
to begin recruiting at the word from
Washington. 1t was stat, cd by the ad-
infant general that the department con-
templates raising nine regiments i'll all,
and the instructions to the recruiting
officers are based on this figure: Each
regiment will have strength of 1926
men, making total force OF II 1884
men. This will be almost twice the
number of men which General Otis re-
ports will be necessary to give him the
force OF 10000 electives which he re-
uuireS.

Famous ORrien County Litigation.
DUBUQUE. Ia, July 5.-Judge Shiras
of the federal court has decided the

reopened and settlers went in and seized

tain land occupied Ly them. The de-
cision involves title to 10000 acres of

General Otis discussed the situation
in the Philippines at considerable length
and took the hopeful view that with
the additional troops to be furnished
the war would be terminated before the
next rainy season sets in.
"With $4,000 troops all told-say 3O,-

It is not unlikely, however, that some

Curious Bird Habits.

It is we'll known fact that if the
young of almost any kind of bird are
taken from the nest before they can fly
the old ones will feed them most atten-
lively if the cage in which the little
birds are inclosed is placed somewhere
where the parents can reach it, and
popular but erroneous belief is current
that they do this for time, and end
by poisoning the young ones.
This, however, is mistake, the fact
being that at a certain stage Of young
birds existence, when it is naturally
able to begin catering for itself, the
parent birds, also quite naturally, cease
to attend it, and then, if the birdlings
are shut up in the cage and their Gus
todian has not thought of placing some
food at their disposal they necessarily
die, not from poison administered by
the parents, but from starvation.-St
