ARMY TO Be
INCREASED
FORTHWITH
The President Said to Have
Decided to Call for Vol
unteerS.
TROOPS FOR MANILA
Twenty Thousand Additional Men
to Be Hurried to the
Philippines.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 28.-A Wash
ington dispatch to the Journal says:
Because of the situation in the Philip
pine Islands the army probably will be
increased to the full limit allowed by
the army reorganization bill. A call
for 35 900 volunteers seems certain to be
issued by the President. With a pro-
visional army of 81, 900 and a volunteer
army of 50 900 Uncle Sam will have a
force of 1000 fighting men.
Soon after the President reached the
White House, Secretary Hay, Attorney
General Griggs, Secretary Hitchcock,
Secretary Wilson and Secretary Gage
arrived. Acting Secretary of War
Meiklejohn met the President at the
railroad station and accompanied him
to the White House, on the way giving
him the news from Manila.
It was the opinion of Acting Secre-
tary Meiklejohn, in which other mem
bers of the Cabinet agreed that the
military forces in the Philippines must
be strengthened at once. In this view
the President concurred.
At least $4,000 soldiers will be neces-
sary in the Philippines to insure the
complete assertion of American author
ity An additional 10000 men will be
sent to the islands as rapidly as pos
BILE; other regiments are to follow the
six regiments now under orders as
soon as transports can be secured.
President Mckinley and the Cabinet
members met this evening and agreed
it would be necessary to issue a call
for the $4,000 volunteers provided for in
the reorganization bill.

ENGLAND PATS THE
BACK OF AMERICANS

LONDON, March 28.-The Times, in
an editorial commenting upon a sug-
gestion thrown out by the New York
Times regarding the birth of a feeling
of respect for the Filipinos says:
The growth of such sentiment
does honor to the Americans so long as
their respect is confined to bravery and
endurance and no inference is drawn
from the military to the civic capaci-
ties of the natives.
Until the Filipinos are vanquished
and forced to sue for peace any talk of
concessions is liable to be miscOnstrued
and to lead to a prolongatiOn of the
struggle. That, at least, is the teach
ing of English history in dealing with
semi civilized races.
The Americans evidently have a
tough job, and it may be they have a
long one. but we do not doubt they will
do it thoroughly and in a workmanlike
fashion, as is their national way"
The Daily Chronicle this morning
prints extracts from a letter written by
a distinguished British naval officer re-
Gently in Philippine waters, who di-
lates upon the difficulties facing the
Americans there.
The writer, whose name is not given,
says that the climate is very trying for
nine months of the year and that it is
quite impossible for whites to live
there. The Americans, he declares, lack
mule batteries and horses to move their
artillery He is confident that the
Americans would prefer to clear out, "
but explains that they cannot do this
because of the foreign merchants"
The officer also remarks: THE
Americans do not appear to understand
the game of using one lot of natives
against another. If they wish to con-
quer the islands they must adopt that
plan and also make roads and rail-

Eldora, Dec. 29-The senatorial situ-
alton in Hardin county has nor yet ar
rived at the White heat Of discussion,
but much interest is being manifested.
Take the county over, q majority would
be found for Gear, but
there is a large and growing sentiment
that both candidates should be let out
and another selected.
A large majority of the voters of this
county were and still are decidedly in
favor of prohibition and this element
is almost solidly against MIR. Cummins
because. as they say. he deserted the
party at the time it needed not only
every speaker but every voter and
worker as we'll and took an open stand
with the enemy against prohibition. 1t
is also said that Mr.. Gear is an old man
who has received unnumbered honors
at the hands of his party. The lo'sg ei.f'
bitter strife between the Gear and
Cummins factions, lasting as it has all
summer with all its chickering's, wise-
pulling and cathauling has thoroughly
disgusted a good many and a cry that

Capt. Bogardus, the wing shot cham

IS now in the best of health and condi-
rtion and his hand acts as closely in
touch with his eye as it ever did. 1t is
known fact that Capt. Borgardus had
Bright's disease a short while ago, and
as Bright's disease has always been in-
durable his present state of health is as
gratifying as 1t is surprising.
When questioned about his case the
wing shot champion grew warm in his
praise of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Why, everybody told me Bright's
disease was incurable," said he. Doc
tors couldn't fix me, and l never had
any hope of getting cured. / suffered

Bright 8 disease is the last stage of
kidney disease and once it sets in you

that way. Now it seems all you've got
to do is to take Dodd's Kidney Pills and
and get cured.'

You can say l was a sufferer from
kidney disease for several years and it
rapidly developed into Bright's disease.
! was persuaded to take Dodd's Kidney
Pills. and 1 must say that they COM
pletely restored my kidneys to a

them to sufferers from Brignts disease
and other kidney troubles"
Capt. Bogardus is a veteran Of the
civil war. where he served in an Illinois
regiment with distinction and won pro-
motion.( His skill with firearms is of
worldwide reputation. He has met and
vanquished all corners in defense of the
title Of champion wing shot of the
world, and has travelled the globe over
giving exhibitions of his skill. 1T will

ers toeknow that Dodd's Kidney Pills
