FORCE OF GEN. OTIS
Has Not Said How Many Men He
Will Need.
GALL FOR TROOPS DEPENDS ON HIM
Secretary AIger Confers With
the President.
ARE READY

Secretary Alger had long interview with
the President today regarding the situation
in the Philippines and the question of more
troops for the islands. At its conclusion
Secretary Alger said that there is no truth
in g story that Gen. Otis has cabled that he
VIII need 10000 soldiers. Secretary Alger
said that Gen. Otis has been notified from
time to time that all the troops he consid-
cred necessary would be supplied. To these
notifications no definite reply has been re-
ceived. The Secretary made the important
announcement however, that to forever
settle the question of whether a larger
force will be necessary he this morning
cabled Cen Otis to notify the War Depart
ment as to the force he thinks will be need
ed when the campaign is again resumed
with activity. Gen. Otis answer Will de-
terrnine whether a call for more troops will
be made Up to this time all the talk on
that subject has been constituted largely
of gossip. based on suggestions made to the
President and 10 the War Department. me
President has all along been disposed 10
give Gen. Otis full reign and to abide by
the commanders views.
Secretary Alger added further that, In
clTding the troops now under ORDERS ana
the 10th Infantry, which was delayed al
Ponce by the stranding of the transport
Meade, Gen. Otis would have $1,000 regu-
lars at his command.
Call Depends on Gen. Otis.
To a congressional caller this morning
the President impaired practically the
same information as that made public by
Secretary AIger. He said that there Is no
intention Of increasing the force in the
Philippines unless General Otis thinks II
necessary. Without this opinion from Cen
OTIS no more troops will be called Tor l ne
President remarked that If a call for troops
is promulgated, he is sure that they can
be quickly raised. The governors OF mum
her Cf states have written the President
that many of the Spanish war volunteers
Cesire 10 enlist for Service in the Philip
pines, in addition to many ambitious young

Volunteers Are Ready.
Governor Otero of New Mexico talked
with the President this morning about
calling for additional troops. Governor
Otera told the President that New Mexico
is ready to furnish a regiment at mo-
uents notice. Four companies of Roose-
velt's Rough Riders were from New
Mexico. and every man of them wants to
re-enIist for the Philippines. Capt. Luna,
who commanded Troop in the fighting
around Santiago, telegraphed Governor
otero this morning that he could get his
ready for service in twelve hours.
Captain Luna was one of the men wounded
at Santiago, and was reported ready. Be
sides these veterans. the mustered out
members of the 1st Territorial Regiment
are cl9moring for service. Ex-Governor
McCord Of New Mexico commanded this
regiment.
Secretary Aiger intimated that If General
Otis says he wants many additional troops
a call may be issued soon, it will take
some time to organize the regiments and
get them ready for the Philippines.

for a revision of the Dreyfus trial Many

yesterday by the adjournment of the court.
lie contended that Maj Count Esterhazy
was the author of the bordereau which
has figured so prominently in the case. and
not Dreyfus. In the course of his remarks
he said that whoever was guilty, somebody
had committed the crime of treason. Es-
terhazy, however, he pointed out, having
been acquitted Of the authorship of the
bordereau, cannot again be prosecuted on
this ground even if he were a hundred
times guilty.

What Henderson's Friends Say of
His Speakership Race.
WHERE THEY COUNTO GETTING VOTES
Opponents Declare That His
Boom is Premature.
AN UNDOUBTED ADVANTAGE

General Henderson's friends say that he
has lead in the speakership contest that
Will not admit of any one catching him.
one OF the shrewdest men in the House
told Star reporter today, that basing his
opinion on information he had as to the
disposition of delegations he thought al
ready enough members of the House had
decided to support Henderson to insure his
election. The action OF the Wisconsin dele
cation is expected to be followed by Ohio
Indiana, Michigan, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Minnesota The Henderson
people regard all these delegations as Ger
tain. They have also good reasons to count
on the ultimate support of the entire Penn
sylvanta delegation, a large slice of the
New England contingent and a majority of
the votes from the south.
General HenderSOn's friends feel so con-
ldent that they think his nomination will
be generally conceded before the caucus
meets.
Declare the Boom Premature.
The friends Of other candidates saw that
the Henderson boom has started too early
to last, but the conditions of the contest
are such as to disarrange such a calcuIa-
uon. A considerable number of members
who are not counted for Henderson are not
attached to any candidate and his great
lead is Likely to draw many of these to him
instead of driving them to any of the other
candidates.
There is no feeling against Henderson
anywhere, and his prospect of election is
not apt to excite apprehension except
among the pledged friends of other candi-
oates Those who are not pledged are not
likely to be turned against him by a fear
that he may be elected
After discounting the claims of his
1rlends 1t is still evident that Henderson is
making remarkably strong canvass, and
that the character of men who are working
Tor him in several strong delegations gives
him d great advantage in the contest.

What proof exists that there has been
an act of treason of a nature tending to
compromise the security OF the state? Are
we not, perhaps, in the presence of a num-
Der of unimportant documents, as Gen.
Mercier thought, and consequently in the
presence of a mysterious hoax, an auda-
cious piece of swindling perpetrated by
the author OF the bOrdereau upon his for
elgn correspondent? This is a terrible ques-
ton, and one which involves the most
painful presumption-that of the martyr

1880, which are terminated, are what are
known as "the most favored nation arti-
cIes." In case Of the Swiss treaty the
United States government went to a length
never before nor since INDUCED in in the
matter of concession toward Switzer-
land probably in some measure Influenced
by sentimental regard for the little sister
republic.
The language Of the articles is therefore
different from that of any other trade
treaty to which the United States is a par
ty, and by its terms the latter is bound
not to grant any favor in commerce to
any nation which shall not be Immediately
enjoyed by Switzerland. The latest effect
Of this sweeping concession to yield
To Switzerland for her wines principally
all the advantages in the matter of impOr
tatiOn into the United States which France
had purchased at considerable cost in her
reciprocity treaty with US.
This was a source of complaint and
threatened 10 injuriously affect negotiations
for other reciprocity arrangements, that
steps at the instance of Mr.. kasson special
pIenipotent!ary to have these articles abro-
gated.
Naturally the Swiss government resisted
this movement vigorously. and for a time
1t appeared that the whole treaty would
be lost for our government was Obliged to
go to the extreme length of giving notice
Of the abrogation OF the entire treaty. But
Il appears that the Swiss government has
consented 10 avoid this sacrifice and to re-
tain the remaining valuable articles of this
treaty while conSenting to the exciston of
the Objectionable ones. The latter will
after all be probably soon replaced with
he usual most favored nations stipula-
tiOn.
