ing final action
MACHINE GUNS FOR OTIS ARMY.
The war department is making every
effort to comply with General Otis re-
cent request for a number of machine
guns, in order that they shall reach him
in time for the campaign expected to
open with the dry season. The de-
partment has decided o to send to
the Philippines the Sims-Dudley guns,
but will confine the selection to the
types now in use in the army.
TO PROSECUTE THE WAR VIGOR-
OUSLY.
Plattsburg, n. Y, August 8.-The
war in the Philippines is to be prose-
cuted with a vigor that ought to result
in speedy cessation of hostilities there.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press saw Secretary Root tonight in
the office of the Hotel Champlain just
after he had aid good bye to the presi-
dent and was preparing to take the 9:45
! o'clock train for Washington. The sec
rotary referred to his visit to PIatts-
burg barracks this afternoon where he
witnessed a regimental drill Of the
Twenty-sixth regiment, under command
of Colonel Rice. This regiment has
been recruited and organized in a lit
tie over three weeks, and they drilled
today like old veterans.
The progress whtcn the officers and
men of the T~Wenty-sixth regiment have
made in drilling in sc short a time is
simply marvellous" said Mr.. Root. 1t
shows the wonderful power of the Unit
ed States, when ten regiments of VOL
unteer soldiers can be recruited, or
ganized, drilled and equipped for active
service in the field in so short a time"
will the wal in the Philippines be
prosecuted vigorously from now on?"
asked the Associated Press correspond
ent.
Mr.. Root turned on his heel and re-
piled quick as a flash: Yes, sir, the
, war in the Philippines from now on will
be prosecuted with all possible ener-
| gy. All the men, all the arms and all
the supplies necessary to end the trouble
in the islands will be furnished at the
earliest possible moment"
How large a force will be at the
disposal of the commanding general
there?" was asked.
FIFTY THOUSAND SOLDIERS.
There will be so, 900 men there ready
for active service at the close of the
rainy season, about the last of October,
and more will be sent there if neces-
sary."
AS to the rumor published in some of
the papers that President Mckinley
and he were not agreed upon the policy
to be pursued in the Philippines, Mr..
Root said: "Of course, that is all nom
: sense"

Santiago de Cuba, August S-Ths
British steamer Sunderland, Captain
Nibbs, from Philadelphia July Goth,
which arrived here yesterday from
Havana, from which port she sailed
on Sunday. brought two cases Of yellow
fever.
1t is said Captain Nibbs is dying.
He was i'll for two days before leaving
Havana Two other cases are suspect
ed In the ships company. The Sun
derland received only a perfunctory
examination before leaving Havana and
she will be held here until all danger Ia
past. The crew and the ship will be
subjected TO the disinfecting process.
The American authorities are having
no trouble with the large number OF
Cuban soldiers now in the city, to re-
ceive payment. The merchants are
doing an excellent business. The re-
striction against drinking prevents dis
order.
No new cases OF fever were officially
reported today in the city and none
have developed among the American
troops within the last ten days. The
local Cuban physicians praise the eff
fective methods OF the military gov
ernor, General Leonard Wood, in
fighting the epidemic. They say the
Spaniards could have done as well, IL
they had tried, but hat the latter were
too lazy.
A regiment of Cuban cavalry, COM
manded by American officers, will soon
be formed, it is understood, as a sub
stitute for a section of the United
States troops.
