A cloud of smoke lowered over the

MORE MEN FOR GENERAL OTIS.
Further Reinforcements Will Be Sent
to Philippines.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 23.-The war
department. has arranged to dispatch
further achievements to General Otis
at Manila.
The regiments selected are the Ninth
infantry, now at New York, and the
Sixth infantry, now al San Antonio,
Texas. Both these regiments will go
by way of San Francisco. It is expected
that the transports taking them will be
able 10 leave March Is.
By that time General Otis will have
received all the achievements now
afloat and bound for Manila, ave those
on the Sheridan, which sailed from
New York last Sunday. This will give
him 5000 more troops made up Of the
flower Of the United States army, regu-
lars. tried in Indian service, the most
Of them Injured to the Cuban climate in
its worst aspects, having participated
in the campaign there during the wet
season.
Every report that comes to the war
department goes to convince the off,
cials than an offensive campaign must
be Immediately assumed in the Philip
pines. This is no longer a matter of
choice, but of necessity against which,
the officials say, sentimental consider
alton cannot stand.
In their opinion the lives and health
of American troops now in the neigh
borhood of Manila depends upon the
initiation OF such a campaign. General
Otis report OF the big fire in Manila
yesterday and last night, while agree
ing closely with the press reports,
makes mention of a rather formidable
demonstration by the insurgents nea
Caloocan, the scene OF some of the
heaviest fighting succeeding the first
engagement with the insurgents on the
18th.
This is taken as an indication that
the rebels have not been thoroughly
impressed with the strength Of the
American army. A disQuieting feature
noted in the press reports Is the pres
ence Of small bodies of armed insur-
gents within the American outposts,
possibly an evidence that our lines are
too far extended and too thin around
Manila. 1t is realized that 1t. will be
necessary to sweep the country clear
Of all hostile elements.
The task will be difficult because of
the resemblance Of the Filipinos to one
another, which would make 1t hard to
distinguish between a non-combatant
and an out and out rebel.
A most serious problem confronts
General Otis dn the protection OF Manila
and suburban towns from fire, not only
from the treacf1erous character Of the
Philippine rebels, but also because the
outside houses are of the aimsiest bam-
i bamboo, hung with mating screens
Even the floors are made Of strips Of

Catarrh Of the stomach has long been

full or bloated sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with sou or
watery risings. a formation OF gases,
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing, headaches

eral played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and Ii the In

The cure Of this common and obsti-

which causes the food to be readily,

to ferment and irritate the delicate mu-
cous surfaces of the stomach. To Sc
cure a prompt and healthy digestion
Is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion Is secured the

would, Below is an extract giving a
gentleman's opinion of the Michigander
women:
Mr.. Biggar, of Toronto, who is can
tam OF the Toronto team that won the
international trophy at the late Ca
nadIan congress, gives his views in the
Toronto Mail and Empire OF the 22nd,
oil the Michigan Whist Association
meet at Detroit, which he attended.
After calling attention to the number
OF women who took part in the open
events (about 70 cut of 1852, and the
TACT that pair of women made tor
score in the open event Of Thursday
afternoon, and again in the open event
OF that evening, and that d team of four
women made top score in the omen
team OF four contest Friday afternoon,
he speaks thus of women in whist GEN
orally:
Some of us may have had ideas that
women who enter into public whist
competition must be of the strong
minded sort, whose brains are so highly
developed as to make a disfguring
pump on their heads, but anyone would
be disabused of this idea at once in
Detroit. 1t is not necessary to describe
the women who played there, but they
were not of that sort They were high
ly intelligent women, necessarily so
from the quality Of their whist, keen
and interesting, and indeed, extremely
attractive in appearance. Whist they
ind an intellectual amusement which
they can share with their husbands,
and with characteristic ambition they
all try to be experts. They seem never
TO play indifferently merely to pass
time, but always to amuse themselves
thoughtfully, as in game of chess
One lady, possibly the most dis
tinguished whist player there, never
appeared except to play in the after
noon and evening, resting the rest of
the time. When asked if she thought
this form of amusement waste of too
much time. she explained that it was
one in which she could join her hus-
band, and her only objection was that
1t seemed q somewhat selfish affair in
that no ultimate benefit could accrue
to others from the exercise of so much
brain force.
Il was struck. in comparing this
meeting with our own congress here,
by, first, the fact that the chief interest
was in the open events. andthat it was
more satisfactory to conclude them at
one session: second, the great prepon-
derance of women players, two to one.
and the quality of whist they played.
as well as the quality Of women who
played it,

OPINIONS ON WHIST CRANKs.

The following situation arose in New
York when Street, of Boston, and Ell
well, of New York, were playing. Small
spade turned by South; West leads a
small club; North holds; Spades, TO-
8, Z, 8, 4; hearts, @, ], 8, 6, 4; diamonds,
q, j, 8, and no clubs; what should he
play? Elwell trumped the club and
led small heart. Street thought he
ought to have discarded the heart six
SO that the play OF the four later on
would show strength in that suit.
Ward, Becker and Whitney, of Boston,
say he should have discarded the dia-
mond nine. Ward says: If l were sit
sing south and my partner discarded
the nine Of diamonds and | won the
club trick, | would first play to estab-
Hsh my partners heart suit, unless l
also had strength in hearts or in
trumps. With, say, king or jack and
one or two small hearts, | would play
my best heart. If that won l might
lead trumps. Rochester Post Express.
The above situation was presented to
the members of the Island Whist Club
at recent meet, and the answers were
various. One gentleman, Mr. Nc, said
ne would discard the diamond nine.
Mrs M. said she would trump and lead
her fourth best heart. Mrs. 7. said she
would discard the diamond nine. Other
members had other views and some did
not care to express any, albeit it viii be
observed that there was as good judg-
ment expressed as among the New
York and Boston cracks.

QUERIES AND ANSWERS.

A Bellaire whistler asks the follow
ing: Holding king, queen and one
small of a plain suit of which vour
right hand opponent leads a small card
say, trey, four or six, of the same suit.
what would you play? Also if it were
gcur original lead, and you wanted to
lead from such holding, what card
would it be?
Answer to question No. 1: Conserva-
tive players would invariably play the
queen second hand, for it must take
or force the ace. True, it is possible
that the acc is in third hand and would
be played anyhow, so that if second
hand had played low his king and
queen would be good for two tricks;
but that is a risk one rarely cares to
take. The play of the queen is the
safest, and what is very desirable no
criticism would come from ones part
ner IN case a smaller card than the
queen took the trick.
Answer to question No 2: If west
must originally lead from such a hold
ing, then lead the king, which indicates
to your partner, the ace taking the
trick, that you hold the queen and two
more at most. The king, queen and
one small is better off to be led IN to
than to lead from
