Manila, July "A collision between

Texas Suffers Greatly From Terrific
Rain Storms.
Austin, Tex, July 1. - All South,
West and Central Texas territory has
been visited by terrific transforms,
which have practically tied up all the
railroads in this section of the state.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas and
Houston & Texas Central are the prin-
c1pal sufferers. Quite a number of
bridges on both roads have been
washed away, tying up the roads most
etfectually. Yesterday morning the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas and the
Santa Fe both used the Houston &
Texas Central tracks into Houston
from connecting points on their lines,
but this afternoon the water had risen
so rapidly in the Brazos and several
other rivers that part of the Houston
y Texas Central track is also under
water, making the progress of trains
exceedingly dangerous. Many hun
dreds of areas of farming land in
South Texas are under water tonight
and much cotton will be badly dam
aged. The international & Great
Northern has suffered considerable
damage by the loss of several bridges
and all train entering this city to-day
are from 10 to 10 hours behind time.
The rain has ceased, however, and it
is thought the worst is about over.

Definite Decision Reached to Con-

Grating Stations for Service In
the Philippines Men Will Be
Signed for Three Years. Service
Aggressive Campaigning Will
Cease Until the Bad Weather
Ends-Increase of Transportation
Facilities.

Washington, June 3O.-Secretary AL
ger, Adjt. Gen. Corbin and Col. Bird.
assistant quartermaster general, in
charge OF transportation, had an hours
consultation with the president to-day
relative to the question of reinforce
ments for Gen. Otis. A definite deci-
sion has been reached to continue re-
cruiting men at all the recruiting sta
lions for service in the Philippines, and
Secretary Alger said when he left the
White House after the conference that
Gen. Otis would have 10000 men when
the rainy season closed, for resump-
ton of active operations. There are
seventy recruiting stations in the Unit
ed States and enlistments are to be
taken at all of these stations. The en-
listments are to be for service in the
regular army and recruits are to be Or
ganized into regiments or assigned to
regiments already formed after enlist
ment. No organizations as such are to
be accepted if sufficient recruits can
be obtained by regular enlistment.
Gen. Corbin said the enlistments would
be for three years, although the law
for the regular army of $1,000 provides
only for such a force until 1901.
Arrangements are to be made at once
for increasing the transportation neces-
sary to get these additional troops to
the Philippines. The decision to rein
force Cen Otis by the end of the rainy
season is interpreted to mean that ag-
gressive campaigning will cease until
the bad weather ends. Until that time
our operations will probably be con-
fined to occasional excursions to places
in close proximity to our lines where
the insurgents may have congregated
in force. BY remaining quiescent I'M
der good shelter during the rainy sea-
son it is hoped the health of our troops
will be conserved and the danger from
climatic fevers reduced to minimum.
Gen. Otis has cabled the war depart
ment that he has the skeleton organiZa-
ton OF two or three regiments which
1t is proposed to raise in the Philip
pines AT the war department this is
salu to mean that Gen. Otis has the Of
ficers of these regiments selected and
that they are ready to be filled with en-
listed men. How many of these can be
secured from the volunteers remaining
in the Philippines is not known, 1t is
stated at the war department that the
recruits now being enlisted at the rate
of 1000 week cannot be used for the
volunteer army provided for in the act
of March 2, authorizing $4,000 men,
although it would be an cas- ymatter to
transfer these men, with their own con-
sent, to the volunteer service if it
should be determined to raise addi-
tional troops.

A GLOOMY OUTLOOK
FOR THE SPEEDY ENDING. OF THE
WAR IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Method Of Making Raid. Into the
country and Then withdrawing
Has Tended to ALLEVIATE the Pom
1atton-Tvo Opposite Views of the
situation Held by Well Posted
People at Mnnila-With Present
methods the War May Continue
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Men Absolutely
Necessary.

Manila, June q, via Hongkong, July
1.-Two opposite views of the Philip
pine situation are held by those per-
sons who have followed the American
campaign with close attention.
First is the official military view.
According to this, the situation is now
well in hand, and the campaign has
been as successful as possible. The
natives are tired of insurrection and
are more friendly toward the Ameri-
cans than toward the insurgents. The
l"surgent army is made up almost en-.
tirely of brigands who can no longer
be held together by their leaders. The
war will soon be over, it is declared, if
the wet season holds off. The force of
troops now on hand is sufficient for
the emergency. Business is picking
up. The disorganiZed insurgents. de-
prived of their resources, are held to-
gether at present merely by the hope
given the rebels through the anti-an-
neXatlon movement in the United
States and the American papers which
reach here. The insurgent leaders are
actuated solely by selfish personal am
billions.
The second view, which is held by
military men in the field and leading
thinkers, is that the ability of our
troops to drive the insurgents at will
is proved, the suppression of the insur-
rection depends upon the ability of the
men in authority to cope with the sit.
uatiOn and not upon muzZling the
American press.
The outlook at present is more
gloomy for speedy ending of the war
than ever before. The method of max
ing raids into the country and then
withdrawing, leaving the friendly ma
tives at the mercy Of the returning in
surgents, has tended to ALLEVIATE the
population and not materially to weak.
en- the insurgents. The organization of
the insurgents is still good, and their
resources are not greatly impaired.
The failure this season to take the
railroads running through the valley
of the rice country about San Fernando
leaves to the enemy immense resources
and fails to protect the interests of
foreign merchants.
With the present methods the war
with the Filipinos may continue in
definitely. The only true method to
pacify the country is to garrison all the
important towns. To do this more
that twice the number of troops al
ready here are necessary, with several
regiments of mounted cavalry. Foul
thousand men being in the hospital,
$500 in the Southern islands and 49,
600 in Manila, Cavite and small gar
risons, this leaves only 500 men for
active campaigning. This number is
not sufficient. since the troops in the
north are in bad condition, many SOL
diers having irritated hearts by reason
Of overexertion on account of the small
number of troops available.
