DeAnite Decision Reached to Con-
time Recruiting Men at All Re-
cruitinC stations for Service in
the Philippines - Men Will Be
Signed o Three Years. Service
Aggressive Campaigning VIII
Cease Until the Bad Weather
Ends-Increase Of Transportation
Facilities.

Washington, June 3O.-Secretary Al
ger, Adjt. Gen. Corbin and Col. Bird,
assistant quartermaster general, in
charge of transportation, had an hours
consultation with the president to-day
relative to the question Of reinforce
ments for Gen. Otis. A definite deci-
sion has been reached to continue re-
cruiting men at all the recruiting sta
lions for service in the Philippines, and
Secretary Alger said when he left the
White House after the conference that
Gen. Otis would have 10000 men when
the rainy season closed, for a resump-
ton of active operations. There are
seventy recruiting stations in the Unit
ed States and enlistments are to be
taken at all Of these stations. The en-
iistments are to be for service in the
regular army and recruits are to be Or
ganized into regiments or assigned to
regiments already formed after enlist
ment. No organizations as such are to
be accepted If sufficient recruits can
be obtained by regular enlistment.
Gen. Corbin said the enlistments would
be for three years, although the law
for the regular army of $4,000 provides
only for such a force until 1901.
Arrangements are to be made at nce
for increasing the transportation neces-
sary to get these additional troops to
the Philippines. The decision to rein
force Gen. Otis by the end of the rainy
season is interpreted to mean that ag-
gressive campaigning will cease until
the bad weather ends. Until that time
our operations will probably he con
fined to occasional excursions to places
in close proximity to our lines where
the insurgents may have congregated
in force. By remaining %quiescent un-
der good shelter during the rainy sea-
son it is hoped the health Of our troops
will be conserved and the danger from
climatic fevers reduced to q minimum.
Gen. Otis has cabled the war depart
ment that he has the skeleton Organiza-
ton of two or three regiments which
1t is proposed to raise in the Philip
pines. At the war department this is
said to mean that Gen. Otis has the Of
ficers of these regiments selected and
that they are ready to be filled with en-
listed men. How many of these can be
secured from the volunteers remaining
in the Philippines is not known. 1t is
stated at the war department that the
recruits now being enlisted at the rate
of 1000 a week cannot be used for the
volunteer army provided for in the act
of March 2, authorizing $4,000 men,
although it would be an cas- ymatter to
transfer these men, with their own con-
sent, to the volunteer service if it
should be determined to raise addi-
tonal troops.

STRIKE AT HOMESTEAD.
May Rival the Famous Battle of Sew
I'm Years Ago.

N1Ny Rival the Famous battle OF Sew.
en- Years Ago.
Pittsburg. July 2.-The Post says: A
strike was inagurated at the Home
stead steel works which may rival the
famous battle between capital and Ia
Dor which vas fought on that famous
spot seven years ago. The discharge
of fifteen men at the plant during the
past three weeks is at the bottom of
the trouble. These men were dis
missew because of their utilization
with the newly formed lodge of the
Amalgamated association. The strike,
of whatever proportions it may be,
was precipitated when a committee OF
nine men who sought the reinstate-
ment of the discharged men were also
discharged for the same reason. Supt.
Corrin Informed the men that no or
ganized men would be retained though
it became necessary to close down the
entire plant. At a secret meeting Of
the men held on Thursday it was de-
cided to stand by the organization,
and in the event of the discharge Of
any Of their men all would strike.
