TROOPS NEEDED.
Army In Philippines Inad-
quate to Hold Conquered
Territory.
fBy Gable to the Associated Press.)

(By Gable to the Associated Press)
MANILA, May 26 1899, 7:40 P. M.-The
events of the past week have emphasized
the need of a much larger army here,
without which, according to the best au-
thorities in Manila, it would be attenmpt-
ing the impossible to expect to establish
American supremacy in the Philippine
Islands.
The madequacy of the American forces
is said to be responsible for the large
total loss in the number of small encoun-
ters, without material results as COM
pensation. Most of the fighting has been
in territory which the Americans had
swept but have been compelled to aban-
don because they could not spare troops
to hold it.
The forces commanded by Generals Nc
Rrthur and Lawton hold two important
lines of communication and commerce, the
railroad to San Fernando and the Rio
Grande River. But much of the country
they have swept, including scores of the
smaller towns and some of the larger
ones, have been left uncovered, simply for
want of men to hold them, and the
insurgents have returned and are occupy
ing the towns the Americans abandoned,
and are camping i nthe jungles and woods
outside others, on the watch for chances
to harras sthe garrisons and attack
scouting parties or detached companies
with greater forces. This is the kind of
warfare they prefer to regular battles.
1t appears that the Filipinos who at
tackled the Third Regiment between San
Miguel and Balignag were part of Pie del
Pillars army. They came from the South
across the mountains presumably to meet
a wagon train which General Lawton eX-
pected along the road.
They also planned to capture several
large detachments and were ambushed at
different points. They fired from the
jungle, at distance of 200 yards, and
gave the Americans one of the hardest
fights experienced in the campaign.
The Filipino lost more heavily than the
Americans in all the recent encounters.
The insurgent generals take the loss of
arms more to heart than they do the
loss of men.
Foreigners who have arrived here from
the insurgents country, under the recent
order of expulsion, say the cemeteries in
all the towns are filled with fresh graves.
A majority of the Filipino wounded
died, because the insurgent hospitals are
inadequate, medicines are scarce, and
they have few surgeons, except Spanish
captives who have been impressed.

FALSE TENDERNESS.

q No American has right to be
tender upon the question Of the"em-
balmed beef" scandal. If set of
army contractors or the members
Of a great beeftrust have victimized
our government, they should be
dealt with severely. If all the
members of the beef trust be demo-
Gratis or members OF any other
party they should surely be pun
ished.
For the sake Of argument let us
say that the investigation finds that
diseased, rotten or purified meat
was sold to the government delib-
erately, is there any punishment
too severe for the crime ? Such it
was. heinous, horrible crime.
If great food trusts find, in time
of war, that they can rob the gov
ernment by furnishing poisoned
food supplies, will they not do SO
with impunity, when they do not
fear detection or punishment ?
Does anyone believe, if his reas>
oning powers have advanced be-
yond the nursery period, that Gen.
Miles, Major DAILY, and the hund-
red other officers of standing in the
eeular army, have made these
charges maliciously7 Has the
valor. the honor, the manhood Of
General Miles ever been questioned
before7
Our Mr.. Newton and several OF
his frenzisd republican partisans
take it as a personal affront that
The Sentinel and thousands OF
other papers and honest and loyal
citizens, OF all parties, insist that the
blame for the diAeased food be
placed where it belongs. The or
eanization Of the army for disci-
pline and future worth demands
such investigation.
We feel like saying that man
is a fool who thinks that this great
demand OF the people for an inves>
tipation comes from partisan de-
mands. Officers, who all their
lives have affiliated with the repub-
lican party, are not gong 70 rum
that party, by false and malignant
charges.
It's the fear Of death, not from
ball or cartridge, concealed foe or
the stencil of miasmatis swamp,
but the inglorious death from dis
eased food which appalls them,
which makes them brave the dis
pleasure of the administration,
when on the topmost rung OF fame.
He who believes any other mos
five actuated General Miles and
his brother officers, has no faith in
the arms of his country or honor
in the faith and loyalty OF its com
manding officers. Let the blame
fall where it belongs, for blame
there must be when only 242 men
die in battle as against over 1000
