MORE MEN FOR lUZON.
The Administration at Last Recognizes IA
Pressing Need.


Pressing Need.
New York. June 23-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Presi-
dent Mckinley will authorize the en-
llstment of additional men for the Phil
1ppines when he returns to Washington.
This is the understanding Of we'll in
formed war department officials. The
administration has at last come to rec
ognize the necessity of reinforcing Gen
eral Otis command. 1t is apparent
that some department officials are fig
uring on the advisa bility of the enlist
ing of sufficient men to form 10 complete
regiments. Acting Secretary of War
Meiklejohn said if the president author
ized additional men the number would
be determined after a consultation with
General Otis. 1t would not be surpris-
ing for the department to hear from
General Otis before the return of the
president, in order that the latter may
be supplied with the necessary informa-
ton in order to take immediate action.
In any event. said Mr.. Meiklejohn,
there is little probability of a formal
call for volunteers. State organizations
will not be accepted, although there are
many applications on file from them for
muster in and to be dispatched to the
Philippines. The president, | think. au-
thorized the department to direct its
recruiting officers to make enlistments,
and am confident that men can be OBJ
tanned in such numbers as to furnish
complete organizations and be ready for
service with General Otis during the
fall MONTHS
Should the president authorize the
formation of 10 regiments, recruiting
officers will have TO obtain 1900 men TO
fill them. At least 1000 men will be re-
quired for the three volunteer organiza =
tions which General Otis has authority
to organize, making about 10000 of the
$4,000 men of the provisional army, the
enlistment of which is authorized by
law

MORGANTOWN NOTES.

Morgantown, w. Va, May 23-Mor-
gantown is suffering from an organized
gang of robbers. In the past two
weeks score or more of houses have
been entered and valuables carried
away. In no case has the thief taken
anything of little value. He wants
only the very best. Solid silverware
was his choice at first, but lately mon
ey and jewelry has been taken. Otto
Sigwart, one of the prominent members
of the Seneca glass factory, is the latest
victim. Here the thief secured large
sum Of money and Mr.. Sigwart's watch
The watch was found in the cellar,
where the robber had entered, and
where he had evidently stopped to ex-
anime it. There is no clue to the ident-
ity of the man doing the work. The
people are becoming alarmed and the
sale Of revolvers is becoming quite an
item in the hardware business. Among
the houses that have been entered are
those of Dr. Fitch, Mrs. r. F. Naret,
Prof Corbett, William Wilmington and
others. The Presbyterian Church and
the Hotel Peabody have also suffered.
AS yet none of the stores have been en-
tered.
The athletic association on this after
noon decided to hold a field day and
set apart June q for that purpose
The final dance of series given by
the younger society set was given in
Municipal Hall tonight
George Gribble was terribly bitten by
a dog this morning. The child's legs
were torn very badly.
The officials of the Standard Oil Com
pany are building new levees around
the tanks at the station here. Besides
this they are placing large dam in
the creek which flows along the tanks
to the station. This is expected to af-
ford ample protection to the immense
plant that lies below.
