ENLISTING VOLUNTEERS.
Zen. Otis Organizing Three Regiments In
the Philippines from Discharged
Men-A Report Denied.

Washington, June Id. Pursuing a
policy determined upon some months
ago, Gen. Otis is organizing three regi-
ments in the Philippines, composed of
officers and men OF the state volunteers
who desire to remain in the service.
The army bill authorized this kind of
enlistment in the Philippines II the
full complement cannot be made up
from these discharged volunteers in the
Philippines, the regiments will be Or
ganized and Differed ia skeleton form
until recruits can BE- sent from the
United States to fill them, Gen. Otis
and the volunteer officers in the Phil
ippines have been consulting to see
how many men will enlist.
The number has not been very
large, as there seems to be desire on
the part Of the volunteers to return to
the United States with their organiza-
tons. These three proposed regiments,
with three regiments of regulars to sail
from San Francisco on the 99d and cath
and those under orders for Manila, will
give Gen. Otis SO, 900 fighting men. 1t
Is stated positively at the war depart
ment that the report that it was in
tended to reduce the cavalry and artil-
lery batteries in this country to 95 men
each in order to increase the companies
in the Philippines to 1870 men each is
absolutely without foundation.

The REBELS DISAPPEAR.
The Americans Rec0nnOiter Around linus,
but the Filipino Insurgents Were Not
FOund-The Section without Food.

Manila, June 49, Capt. Gable. of Gen.
Wheaton's staff. with three companies
of the Twenty-frst regiment, recon-
noitered in the direction Of linus. The
rebels, who were apparently expecting
an attack, retired, leaving behind them
20 Spanish prisoners, who joined
the Americans. The rebels have prob
ably gone to the mountains along the
lake. According to native stories, the
rebels carried 100 dead and 300 wound
ed through Bacoor after the recent
battle. The natives are flooding into
Bacoor and 1t is probable there are
many soldiers in plain clothes among
them.
The whole section is practically with
ont food and Maj Gen. Otis has ordered
the distribution OF rice and beef to the
inhabitants. Many people still refuse
to credit the stories Of the assassina-
ton Of Gen. Luna by the guard at
Aguinaldo's headquarters. Though
the reports to that effect are most
circumstantial and from good sources,
rumors of assassnations and dis
asters from the rebel camp are
so frequently printed in the
local papers that they have come to be
regarded with indifference. The latest
is that the governor Of Cebu has been
killed bysnatives because Of his friend
ship to Americans. A prominent COM
mercial man with exceptional means
Of learning Of the FIlipinos' move
ments, claims to know Gen. Luna is
still alive, adding that if he is dead,
and if his death occurred month ago,
people would have expected collapse
Of the revolution to follow.
The failure Of the Filipinos to follow
up the peace negotiations strengthens
the impression that their overtures
were merely to gain time and in order
to lure the Americans to show their
hands.

LEFT AN AWFUL RECORD.
Death List from the New Richmond Tor
nadO Has Reached 125-Property Loss
Aggregates\Over $4,000

New Richmond, Wis.,, June 10. Five
days have passed since the New Rich
mond tornado and it is possible to give
a summary of the death and destruc-
ton with fair accurateness. The otfi-
cial list of known dead containes lO3
names; five unidentified bodies have
been buried, beside some parts of
bodies. A conservative estimate of
the. bodies still in the ruins
of people not reported missing
would be 10. This brings the loss of
life to about l25. The best estimate on
the loss of property in the city of New
Richmond, compiled from list of in
dividual property owners who lost
everything, reaches total of $3.50. 900.

KENNEDY ON THE STAND.


IIartville, NO.. June 19.-F'or the
first time in his long career of alleged
crime. John Kennedy, alleged train
robber. broke down until he became
an object of pity rather than fear. 1t
was while he was ,estifving in his own
behalf that he met his Waterloo. Feg-
ley. the man convicted last week as an
accomplish Of Kennedy. took the stand
in the latter's behalf Attorney Nc
Gregor took him in hand for cross-ex-
animation. The young lawyer led him
from trap to pitfall until the torture
grew excruciating and in his agony Of
mind the witness screamed out:
You're trying to rattle me: it amt
fair" Then Kennedy was called. He
was first asked to give a sketch of his
own life, which he did. referring FREE
quently to the fact that he was farm
er's boy. He told of the many crimes
of which he had been accused and de-
scribed his prosecution as veritable
persecution. Coming down to the
Macomb hold-up, he declared that
he was in Kansas City from De-
cember to December "A. Then
he went to Houston, Tex, remaining
there until January 8. the day OF the
hold-up, when he went to Kansas City.
Here he claimed, he met Judge Gill
and Others and went to Lake City.
Spending day and night there, he re-
turned to Kansas City where he re-
manned until his arrest. He never saw
any of the other defendants until taken
to Mansfield. Cross examination was
very severe and piece by piece the fabric
Of his defense was torn down. He told
stories about his failure to get witnesses
to back up his alibi. The hot fire Of ques-
tons ratified him and when he left the
stand he was crestfallen, weak and al
most hysterical. The boosted abb
witnesses have not put in an appear
ance and even Judge Gill, the defense's
star witness, has disappeared.

ORE SALES FALL OFF.
Conflict Between Producers and Shelters
the Cause-Ofrer to Ship Ore to Eu-
rOpe-FOr q Zinc Statue.


Joplin, NO., June 19.-Last week was
remarkable for falling off Of S26,597
in the value of ore sales, caused by the
beginning Of a conflict between the ore
producers and the purchasing agents
of the zinc smelteries. Lead produc-
ton was considerably larger than last
week, the exact amount being 90, 100
pounds, and the price remained the
same, and the market is firm with an
upward tendency, caused by the cur
tailment of production in Colorado on
account of the strike.
The Missouri-Kansas Zinc Miners as
ISOLATION cabled an offer to Europe to
furnish from 1000 to 5000 tons of high
grade zinc ore week to the smelters
Of Belgium and Wales. This is the
outcome of the fight between the zinc
mine owners and the zinc smelters, the
former being determined to maintain
their schedule prices for ore or else ex-
port it, though expectation be done at
loss.
The presence in Joplin Of noted
New York sculptor led to the PROPOSE
tion of plans for zinc statue to be ex-
hibited at the Paris exposition next
year. One Of Missouri's charming
daughters is to be selected as a model.
The zinc statue will serve the same
purpose for Missouri in advertising her
mineral resources that the silver statue
of Ada Rehan did for Montana at the
worlds fair six years ago. The Zinc
Miners association will probably have
the statue made, the cost of which will
be about $4,000.

Outlook Favorable for a Resumption
of Work in Colorado Shelters.
The EICHT-HOUR SHIFTS CONCEDED.
The Statement Of Prominent Mining
Man Concerning the Shelter Trust
An Agreement ut the Anti
Trust Plant.

Denver, Col, June 17.-The outlook
is favorable for an early resumption OF
work at the trust smelters, which have
been shut down since Wednesday,
bringing enforced idleness to thou
sands Of miners and railroad employees
and threatening incalculable damage
to all the industries Of the state. Steps
have been taken which will probably
lead to conference between James
B. Grant, chairman of the operating
committee of the American Smelling
and Refining company, and a committee
composed of the Smeltermens union.
The employees, 1t is believed will insist
only that eight-hour shifts shall be
granted. Mr.. Grant has said that he
will agree to this He has also ex-
pressed willingness to pay the wages
that are being paid at the Argo smell
ter. To adjust rates according tothe
varying conditions at the different
trust shelters would require consider
able study, but II the men recede from
their demand for ten and IL hours pay
for eight hours work there will be
nothing in the way of asspeedy and
satisfactory settlement of the trouble.
Over 800 miners employed at the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron company's coal
mines in the Trinidad district have
struck for ten hours pay for eight
hours work. The railroads have
begun laying off train crews on ac-
count Of the falling off in ore ship
ments.
A prominent mining man who has
had close dealings with the smelter
trust said:
The cight-hour law and demand Of the men
for fair days wages under the law Is exactly
what the trust wanted. Part OF Its plan when
the consolidation was effected was TO shut down
several Of the smeters ind consolidate their In.
terests In each smelter city In one smelter. II
wants but one smelter In Denver, one In Pueblo.
II Is doubtful II II wants any In Leadville. 1t
wants to dispense with two manapements In
each OF the Colorado cities. 1t wants but one
roasting department, one sampling department,
one smelling department, one mill ut which
coke and lime and ores will be delivered, so
that as much ore as Is now being treated in two
smelters may be treated In one at less than
two-thirds Of the working charges.
AGREEMENT AT THE ANTITRUST PLANT.
Pueblo, Col, June l7.-Final adjust
ment Of wages at the Philadelphia
smelter, the Guggenhem antitrust
plant, was effected last night, the men
accepting the scale Of the company
with the exception that the lower class
Of labor will be paid sl.4O per day in
stead Of Sl.3s, as offered by the COM
pany. The company expects to be in
full operation in all departments with
1900 men by June 30. There is no
change at any Of the other plants.
