Miller soldier of far more experience
and ability than any Spaniard they
ever encountered. He isa regulararmy
man, West Pointer of the class Of
'5S, and has served pretty fair appren-
ticeship in fighting with men in his
own America, where he had several
interesting jousts with Indians. He
should feel more or less at home with
the Malays, whoare akind of first cousins
to the noble red man of the plains. Gen.
Miller distinguished himself in the civil
war. He was brevetted captain, major
and lieutenant colonel for his services
at Malvern Hill, in the Winchester
campaign, and in the battle of Din
widdie Court House. For his skillful
and courageous conduct in the Indian
wars of Idaho and California he was
given brevet of colonel. Ever since he
lett the military academy, 4oyears ago,
Gen. Miller has been in the service of
his country, and his record has been
capital. AS colonel of the regular
army, before his promotion, he had full
charge of the defenses of San Fran
cisco, and at that time he was in COM
mand of the Third United States infan-
try. He is brave and will take no non
sense from the Filipinos, who have
been high-handed and exacting.

OTIS SKELETON REGIMENTS.
He Cables the War Office That a
Thousand Men VIII Stny.

In telegram received at the War De-
partment yesterday Major General Otis
said that he had secured a thousand men
for the two regiments of volunteers which
he is organizing in the Philippines. This
information was very gratifying to the
military authorities, for, despite previous
kilograms on the subject from General
Otis of a favorable character, there was
suspicion here that he would not succeed
in getting more than a few hundred men.
These regiments are to be organized in
skeleton formation. and their ranks fillel
by recruits from the United States. About
600 recruits are needed to complete the
formation of both regiments.
IL was the intention of the War Depart
ment to send the first volunteers secured
! in this country TO fill up the ranks of the
regiments organized by General Otis, but
/ II is now likely that the skeleton COM
mands will be completed by men specially
enlisted for that purpose, thus not inter
! fering with recruiting the ten other vol
/ unteer regiments to be enlisted at Army
/ posts in the United States. With the two
regiments in the Philippines complete, the
command of General Otis will be re-en-
| forced nearly $4,000 men, giving him a com
plete force of IS eco troops two-thirds of
whom will be regulars.
/ Inc men VINO nave declued TO enlist In
the skeleton regiments Will each receive
| travel pay from Manila TO the place of
original enlistment in the United States,
amounting to about $3.50 in most cases,
| and at the expiration of their terms of
service in the Provisional Army, Will be
given free transportation TO their homes
in this country. 1t is supposed that most
of the men who have re-enlisted in the
| Philippines belonged to State organizations
now there.
The enlistment CT men for the ten new
volunteer regiments Will begin throughout
the United States today. Recruiting par
ties are to be sent out as soon as COM
pany officers are appointed TO secure en-
listments in towns where there are no
regular recruiting stations. Men will be
sent out ahead TO these towns with post
ers, stating that recruiting officers will
examine candidates for enlistment on GER
tain dates at specified places in these
towns. For the present most OF the re-
cruiting VIII be done at the seventy Reg

A NEWSBOY DROWNED.
Sailors Rocked the Boat, with tn
Usual Result.

A distressing drowning accident occurred
in the Eastern Branch opposite the navy
yard yesterday afternoon resulting in the
death of William Warner, a twenty-year-
old youth, who resided with his mother
at l10 Third Street northwest. Watson is
cripple, and was unable to swim. Shortly
before O'Clock young Watson, who had
been selling newspapers at the navy yard
for about ten years. stepped into a rowboat
and went rowing with ave bluejackets,
members of the seaman gunners' class at
the navy yard
When the boat reached the middle of
the stream its occupants began to rock
the craft and 1t capsized. Watson. who
was standing in one end, sank as soon
as he struck the water and the bluejackets
had about as much as they could well do
to reach the shore. Watson failed to rise
to the surface and. although several boats
hastered to the spot where he disappeared,
rescue was impossible The police boat
Vigilant went to the vicinity, and the
harbormaster's crew began to drag for the
body, abandoning the search at o'clock.
Men at the navy yard continued TO drag
for the body last night but failed to re-
cover it UP to late hour
Among those who witnessed the acri1ent
were " illiam and Alexander Cole of SO

WITH HIS GIFTS
TEXAS MEDICo sUCCUMBED TO
HIS NAMESAKE'S WILES.
Willing Widow Had Been
Set.

DIR. Andrew Alexander Allison, for
twenty-five years practicing physician
in the staid town of Temple, Tex, parted
with over $4,000 after he made the ac-
quaintance of Mrs. Grace Allison, whom
he met through the good-or bad-offices
of Bain's matrimonial agency. When the
physician stalked into the District Court
ROOM grave, dfgnified and ministerial,
yesterday, il sent a thrill of surprise
through the defendants, for little did they
think that the Government would bring
him all the way from the Lone Star State
to testify against them DR.. Allison would
be the last man in the world whom the
casual observer would take for a man
who had been fleeced by the questionable
methods of marriage takers. He is ap-
parently intelligent, but when he acknowl-
edged parting with the trinkets belonging
to his dead wife and mother for a female
trickster he lost the sympathy of the au-
ditors, and it looked as if he entered the
scheme in the hope of getting a share of
the $4,000 which the Allison person repre-
scented herself as being worth.
He told the old story of the personal,
his letter in reply and the receipt of the
circulars, the parting with the prelimin-
airy s. as a registration fee and of the
correspondence with the fair widow; how
he finally came to this city on March 30
last at her request, and in keeping with
his own feelings in the matter, for be 1t
known that the doctor was serious in his
intentions of marrying her.
He began his courtship the day after
his arrival and became formally en-
gagged to the enslaver of his love on April
5. the date of the wedding being set for
September I. Then the wooer, who should
have known better. commenced to unload
and he fairly deluged his namesake with
presents. The list comprised a diamond
cluster ring, cost S425; gold watch, $780,
diamond brooch, $5SS; earrings, breast pin
and locket, s165, the joint property of his
first wife and his mother. and variety of
other articles. He returned home on April
13, and the willy Grace was not chary about
asking him for gifts in her letters as in
stanced by her request for a revolver,
which he sent her. She had a decided
