FOR TEN REGIMENTS.
War Department Wants More Men
for Service in the Philippines.
Secretary Root Determined That Gen. Otis
Shall Have All the Force Necessary
to Crush the Filipinos-Recruit-
ing Stations Designated.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-An order has
been issued directing that ten addi-
tiOnal regiments of infantry volunteers
be organized for service in the Philip
pines. The regiments will be num-
bered from IS to ~. and will be organ
lied at the following places, in the
order named: Fort Smelling, Fort
Crook, Neb.; Fort Riley, Kan; Camp
Meade, Pa; Fort Ethan Allen, Vt;
Fort Leavenworth, Kan; jefferson
barracks, Mo-; South birmingham,
Mass.
''The policy of the war department, -
said Secretary Root yesterday. SIS to
furnish Gen. Otis with all the troops
and supplies that he can use and which
are necessary to wind up the insured
ton in the Philippines in shortest pos
sible time" The secretary said that
no delay would be allowed in enlisting,
equipping and supplying the new
regiments nor in transporting them,
as well as the other regiments
already organized, to the Philippines
as soon as they were needed for active
operations. If the present number of
transports is insufficient more will be
procured. The men already enlisted
for the Philippine service will be sent
at once, and the new regiments will be
forwarded as fast as they are organ
lied and needed While there has been
some suggestion that the new regiments
will be used as reserve force, it may
be stated positively that these regi-
ments, as well as more, if they can be
used, will be sent to reinforce Gen. Otis.
1t appears from yesterdays orders
that the ten new regiments are to be
mainly recruited in New England and
the middle and central western states.
Kansas and Pennsylvania have appar"
emily been selected as the best field for
recruits. It is said that no special ef>
fort is to be made to secure recruits in
the sou.nern states. This is due, it is
said, to the experience of the officers
who operated in that quarter for re
cruits for the ten volunteer regiments
just organized. The only places where
difficulty was experienced in securing
men was in Georgia, Alabama and the
Carolinas and the gulf states, and the
two northwestern Pacific states.
Yesterdays action will add 1900
men to the enlisted strength of the
army and increase the total strength of
the army to 95, 045 men. The total
number of volunteers called into serv-
ice is 80, no men, being only 4, 1913 men
short of the total authorized volunteer
establishment of 35, 900. It is stated at
the department that the number of
volunteers already called into service
is regarded as amply sufficient to meet
all possible needs of the army, and that
there is no possibility that the remain
ing 1893 volunteers will be called for.

WILL BRING THEM HOME.
Money Raised at Last for Special Train
to Get the First Nebraska Volunteers
Home from San Francisco.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 21.-The First
Nebraska volunteers which reached
San Francisco from Manila three weeks
ago, will be brought home on a special
train at state expense. Twelve thou
sand dollars has been raised by the
newspapers of the state, D. E. Thomp
son, a prominent citizen of Lincoln,
has loaned the governor $40, 900, and
yesterday Edward Cudahy. the South
Omaha meat packer, rendered the state
executive So, 600 to make up the sum of
$35, 900 required for the purpose. The
matter has been hanging fire for sew
eral days and it was feared the boys
would have to pay their own way home,
but through the persistent efforts of
Gov. Poynter the sum has been raised
and the gallant First regiment will
soon be on it's way to Nebraska, which
left a year ago last April to sustain the
honor of the flag in the Philippines.
Shortly after it's return the regiment
will be given a state reception at Lin
coin. Company L, of Omaha, will be
received here in a fitting manner, a
large sum having been raised for the
purpose. Each of the other companies
will be given a royal welcome in it's
home town.

DROPPED INTO THE RIVER.
Bridge Over the Calumet River, in Chi
cagO, Collapsed, Which Led to the Con-
domination of Other Bridges.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-Two bridges over
the Chicago river have been ordered
closed to traffic, seven others were con-
demned as dangerous and two were
labeled very suspicious" These last
will be allowed to remain open for
some time, unless something happens.
All this came about because the bridge
over Calumet river, at Ninety-ffth
street, dropped into the water
when it was swung for repairs. The
bridge broke squarely in half over the
center pier, and both ends went down
into the water. All of these bridges
are old and have been in use for many
years. To make the situation more
serious, it will require at least 81, OOO,
900 to build new bridges or properly re-
pair the old ones, and there is no APP
preparation for the purpose.

Since reading in the newspapers of the

ADMIRAL DEwEY's BELIEF.
In an Interview the Naval Hero Said the
Philippine Question Would Soon
Be Solved

London, Aug. 21.-The Naples CORE
spondent of the Daily News telegraphs
the substance of an interview he had
with Admiral Dewey there during the
admiral's recent visit. Admiral Dewey
said he believed the Philippine ques-
tion'would shortly be solved. In his
Judgment the inhabitants were capable
of self-government. and the only way
to settle the insurrection and to in
sure prosperity was to concede. it to
them. He declared that he was never
in favor of violence toward the Fill
pinos, and remarked that after auton
omy had been conceded annexation
might be talked of. When asked
whether conflict between Germany
and the United States over the Phil
pines were possible. Admiral Dewey

turn to the Island Later.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-United States
troops now serving in Cuba are to be
brought to the United States for the
purpose of giving the men a change of
climate and an opportunity to recuper-
ate. All the regiments will not be
brought home at once, but arrange
ments will be made so that a battalion
of each of the different organizations
may be absent at one time. When they
have remained what is deemed a suf-
ficient period in this country they will
return and relieve their comrades in
the regiments, this practice being kept
up until the entire body has enjoyed
rest in this country. The authorities
intend to keep an adequate number of
troops in the island to preserve order.
The movement is to begin at once,
though to what camps the men will be
sent has not been definitely deter
mined

CAUGHT AFTER THIRTY YEARS
T. R. Freeman, who Was to Have Been
Hanged for Murder at Butler, NO., in
1869, Arrested In the Territory.

Butler. No., Aug. 19.-The arrest OF
Z. r. Freeman for the murder of James
Westbroolz, in Butler, October 16, 1869,
was accomplished by Sheriff E. c.
Mudd and Deputy Marshal Lindsey at
small town named Fanshawe, about
100 miles east of Ardmore, I. 7. Free
man was sentenced to be hanged on
December Il, 1869, but escaped two
days before by pulling the boards off
the ceiling of his cell. Sheriff Mudd
learned that Freeman was passing
under the name of Spottswood and
was living at Fanshawe. The infor-
nation came through Leopold Hart,
travelling salesman. Hart had former
" lived in Butler and was well &C
quainted with Freeman. When Hart
accosted Freeman the latter threatened
him and told him he had better not say
anything about it to anyone. Hart re-
ported the matter to Sheriff Mudd, at
Ardmore, several months ago, but no
action was taken. When Hart again
saw Freeman he was so sure of his man
that he again notified Mudd and the
arrest followed.
The crime is a familiar one to resi-
dents of western Missouri. Freeman,
who was young man of so
years, became infatuated with
Mrs James Westbrook, the wife
of a well-known citizen of Butler. Go
ing home one night Westbrook found
Freeman at his house. He ordered him
away. On his way home Freeman
passed several citizens to whom he re-
marked that he was ''going hunting
for some one" He got his gun and
going to Westbrook's house he called
his victim to the front gate and sent a
load of buckshot into his body, killing
him in a few minutes. Freeman was
captured, tried, convicted and sentenced
to be hanged Deem Der II, 1869.
