TOLEDO ADJUSTMENTS.
At Burt's

Those who love pastoral comedy-and
there are few who do not-will find at
the Burt's theatre, Oct 1914, matinee
daily, one that will appeal to them. 1t
is ISIS Hopkins" written by Carroll
Fleming. Rose Melville, a character
actress, who has made reputation as a
delineator of rustic character will be
seen in the steller role of isis Hopkins u
This is the first season Miss Melville
has started. Miss Melville's methods
are unique. She does not work in the
manner most character actors do, but
has an original style and one that is en-
tirely natural. The class of characters
In which she has been seen, too, is new,
never having been attempted in steller
parts oy any other actress. She en-
deayors to bring out all the amusing
and interesting sides of the awkward
country girl without overdrawing her
work in any way.

CLERKS MISTAKE
Puf an Amendment in inc River and Harbor Bill Thai Was Rejected.

Washington, March 13.-One of those unaccountable mistakes that some times occur in enrolling appropriation billsi under pressure, and which make the law quite different from what was intended, has been discovered in the river and harbor bill. Instead of ap- propriating $3OO,OO0 simply for the inl- provement of the Galveston ship chan nels and Buffalo bayou from the jet ties at Galveston to the proposed har- bor site at Houston, it seems as if congress had really adopted the amendment for which Senator Mills fought so patiently and had put the whole work under the contract system at cost of not to exceed $2,O0O,0OD, with $30O,OOO to be immediately avail able
 The Mills agreement was agreed to in the senate, but the house conferees refused absolutely to permit it to re- main, although they agreed to an addi- ton of $50 900 to their original amount. MT. Mills threatened to filibuster against the bill if the senate conferees yIOIuGu HIS amendment, put when the report came up for discussion late C.: Friday night he did not speak at ail The bill, as approved by the president and as printed in law-print form, con tains both the provision agreed upon in conference and the Mills amendment entire, the one following the other. The enrolling clerks of the house iE some way inserted the amendment which was tricken out, and when the bill was compared with the conference report the error was not detected. It remains to be seen which will be ac- cepted by the secretary of war as the provision which will guide him in pros ecuting the work. This question will probably be submitted to the attorney general, although some senators to whom the case was put declared to- night that the secretary would un- doubtedly be guided by the intent of congress as set forth in the conference report, which is a part of the official record.

CALIFORNIA BANK FAILURES

 Further Distress.

San Luis Obispo. Cal, March 13 - The bank situation here has not changed for the better as yet A large crowd gathered about the Commercial bank this morning but it did not open. President Venable, in speaking of his bank this afternoon said: There are some people right here i'll this town who are actually elated at seeing the financial institutions being driven to the wall I think it is uncertain as to when our bank will open again. It. is much better for bank to go into liqui- dation rather than force those who are in debt to it to settle in full. as 1t would only ruin them and do the bank no good. If it does not rain very soon. in order to make better times, OUT bank will not be opened"
 J. P. Andrews, president of the An drews Banking company, the only bank that is now doing business here. stated that there had been a slight run on his place during the morning but it had subsided

HAVE BEST OF ARMS
Regulars at Manila Supplied
 With krdg-JOrgecSenS.
A Rifle Thai is Fully inc EQuaIif Not Superior fo the MauSer-Plan Approved for inc Reorganization of inc Army.

Washington March 13.-A fact in connection with the regulars whC are now reinforcing General Otis in the | Philippines that is giving considerable 1 satisfaction to the wer department is | that they are all armed with the 'cal- iber 30' rife, commonly known as the Krag-JOrgensen There has been more or less uncasiness over the fact that the volunteers on the firing line around Manila were at a decided dis advantage against the natives, owing to the fact that tL7 Filipino sharp shooters, armed with Mausers, could lie out of range Of the SDringfieids. with which our volunteers were armed, and injure them to an extent that was limited only by the bad craftsmanship of the natives. This was not only the source of good many casualties among the troops, but had bad moral effect on them, since it was very trying to be continually under fire from an enemy whci kept discreetly out of large.
 With the arrival Of the regulars this situation will be completely changed.
 The endorsements all have the cal iber 30 rife. which is practically just as good a gun as the Mauser, while in addition our regular troops arc shaIDshOoters almost ta a man. This is largely owing 70 the fact that for years the target ammunition allow ance in our small army has been about S6 per annum, an amount no European nation has ever thought of spending. This does net say that there are not many excellent shots among the vol unteers, and though the war depart ment has no definite information on the subject there is little doubt that the best shcts are armed with the new rifles already, 1000 stand of these arms having already been sent to Gen eral Otis, while there are 5000 more awaiting his order at Benecia arsenal
 There have been some reports re- gently Of the wou3ding of some of .sur own men by explosions of the SDHng- fields, and it has been suggested Tn the war department ths. possibly this was the result 0f trying the new smokeicss ammunition in these guns Buz this is discredited by the ordnance btreau offices, who say rha1, aLE-ugh there have been shipments of smokeIess am intuition for tho Springfelds, it ls rot likely the volunteers have yet :e- ceiVed it. In addition, the charge of the smokeless powder has been accu- rately gauged so as not to overtax the resistance of the cid Springfield mechanism.

ARMY AUGMENTATION.
Plan Presented anI Approved by the
 President

Washington, March 13.-A complete plan for the reorganization of the regi- ments of the army at a strength ap- prOXimating 65 900 ren, as authorized by the new army law, has been sub mitted to the Prasidena and approved by him. It provides for an enlisted strength of 120 b each battery Of heavy and light al t.llery; 100 to each troop of cavalry, : nd 112 to each com pany of infantry. The strength of nOn-cOmmissioned staff and band is fixed at 825 for twenty-five regiments Of infantry; $40 for ten regiments of cavalry and 210 for fourteen regiments of artillery, a total of 1875. Tine en- listed strength of the staff corps Is fixed at 700 for the signal corps, TOO for the hospital corps, 6O5 fer the ord mace department, loo commissarv ser ge2nts, 105 post quartermaster ser geants, seventy-fve sergeant eIectri- clans of artillery and seventy-Gye scouts
 These figures wouiI supply a total enlisted strength in the reorganizad regular army of 63,O95, leaving a mar gin of some 2,000 for recruits.
 Recruiting officers report that en- Lstments are being made with sur prising rapidity, q fact which is highly gratifying to the administra tion SOutherners who served with the vol untcers are showing especial eagerncss to re-enlist in the regular army. and nearly every one asks for assignment to the Philippines

believe the president will avail him self of the discretion imposed in him by the new army law and recruit some of the 35,O0O volunteers provided for, in Cuba and Porto Rico, thus relieving the government from the further nc cessity Of sending Americans into the West Indian climate, and at the same time yielding to the pride of the na- tives, who prefer that the military branch shall be recruited from their own nationality. Such a step also would offer opportunity for work to many of the Cubans who are now with out any visible means of support.

 Spanish Guerrilla Officers Jailed.

Havana, March 13.-Major Kennon, ernor General Brooke, visited General Gomez today to obtain further details of the Cuban army other than were contained in General Gomezs report. The latter explained that the number of men to be paid is 25,000 as stated ill his report, but there are 25,00O more, consisting of officers. who will not take money for their services. and men who enlisted after the outbreak of hostiii- ties between the United States and Spain. General Gomez failed to give satisfactory details regarding the 25.- 900 men to whom he says payment is due General Brooke clearly states that the $3.000 600 will only be paid to the real Cuban soldiers. and that the form of payment will have to be sat isfactory to the American government. It is. therefore. necessary that Q list. including every man who is entitled to payment, be furnished.
 General Brooke has signed the aD- pointnent of General Jose Miguel Gomez as civil governor of the prov ince of Santa Clara.
 General Brooke has ordered that an investigation be made into the distri- button of rations here and elsewhere in the island. During January and Feb ruary 100000 rations were sufficient to supply the island. not including San tiago province, but General Brooke has received acquisitions for 100000 for March. He believes that many per sons who gre not in need are receiving rations in the cities, and if this proves to be the case he will take stringent measures 10 prevent it. General Lud- low has already issued strict orders to prevent well-to-do people from getting rations in Havana. Meanwhile there is great need among the real poor in the country.
 La LUcha prints an editorial asking that ratiOns be sent for distribution to the relief committees that were formed oy---7H -7Hrz-Charles w. Gould. because they have done the only efficient work in relieving distress.
 Blanco Casanova. an cX-officer of the Spanish army, has presented to Gen eral Gomez a scheme to establish q standing army in Cuba. He wishes General Gomez to secure the backing of the Americans for the scheme which provides that the army shall consist of 10000 men, two-thirds to be Cubans and the rest Americans. A high off cial said today that if General Gomez submitted such a scheme to the Amer jeans it would not be considered. He added: We are trying now to dis band one army, not to raise another.'
 Ten Spanish guerrilla officers have been arrested at Sancti Spiritus and Cienfuegos on charges of having com mitted thirty-three murders during the war. Their arrest was ordered by General Snyder, the military governor of Santa Clara province.
 The judge of the Cerro district will finish his investigation into the sale of the Havana tramway this week. He will then remit the case to the high court, where the indicted directors will be tried and a decision given as to the validity of the sale.
