The Clara Cavett took on at the Mo-
nongahela wharf this morning part of
the apparatus to be used in raising the
rails. This Will be the first attempt
ever made on western or southern riv-
ers to raise sunken materials by cleo
tricity. The Langton Company ex-
poets to begin the work this afternoon.
A rise. in the rivers is looked for as a
result of to-day's rain. The ground is
frozen and very little of the rain which
fell this morning soaked into the
ground, and will find its way to the
rivers. The ice in the pools of the
Monongahela river is being broken, but
in the event of a rise, which is very
probable, the river will soon be cleared
of it and boats will resume operations
by Monday. Some rain is reported at
up-river stations this morning, and
slight rises are reported at several
places. The Monongahela ice Will
probably be the first to let go.

Saw Mrs. George Shoot.

Canton, Ohio, April 15.-In
the trial of Mrs. George to-day
for the murder of George D. Sax
ton the most startling evidence
was that of Mrs. Christine
Eckroate. She said she went to
her window on the night of the
murder after hearing two shots
and saw a woman bending for
ward, who fired two shots towards
the ground, and then walked to a
vacant lot, through which she
ran.
She identified the person as
Mrs. George. She had previously
often noticed a woman walking
up and down in front Of the Att
house residence whom she later
learned was Mrs, George. Mrs.
Eckroate is the first witness
claiming to recognize the person
who did the shooting.

OTIS NEEDS 100 900 MEN
In the Phi ippines. LaWtOn Says
InsurrectiOn Cannot be Put
Down With LESS

Manila, April 17.-General
Luwton's expedition returns to-
Manila to,day from La De Guna
province by the express command
of General Otis, Santa Cruz and
ether villages taken by the expe-
dition under the old Indian fighter
are being completely evacuated.
There is a decided difference of
opinion between General Otis and
General Lawton over the evacua-
ton of these villages. General
Lawton claims Santa Cruz at least
should be keld with an American
garrison, In his judgment the pos
session of Santa Cruz is most inn
portant, strateg;cally, as it com
mands the entire La De Guna dis
trict. With the Americans in con-
troll of Santa Cruz, he says, they
would be in a position easily and
efectually to intercept any COM
munication between the insurgents
Of the northern and southern por~
tons of the island of Luzon.
General Otis defends his order
for the evacuation of the captured
villages by declaring he considers
it impracticable at present to spare
a sufficient number of troops to
garrison Santa Cruz. He says the
plan of campaign he has adopted
contemplates a continuation of the
fighting in the northern portion of
the island, and that every man Of
the available force will be needed
in that locality. Besides, General
Otis argues, Santa Cruz and the
other cities en- easily be retaken
if necessary during the rainy seas
son. He holds it will be much
easier to repeat the campaign
made by General Lawton's expe-
dition during the wet period be
cause the water in La Guna de
Bay will be less shallow, making
the transportation of troops in
bulks a much less d Meult prot
lem.
General LaWton made a state
ment today, the publication of
which be authorized. He said that
in his opinion, it would be neceso
sary for the Uui'ed States to send
100, 900 troops to the Philippine
Islands if the natives continued
hostillties. He SAID that it was es-
sential to garrison all the cities
captured or that r to be captur-
ed IL the future operations if the
instruction was to be put down.
General Lqwton's opinion is given
a great deal of weight among the
officers here. They say his wide
experience with guerilla warfare
makes him a most capable judge
of the situation.
