Berlin scientist, with a friend and
two guides, all roped together were
crossing snow bridge in the Alps

one guide fell into a crevasse, and
hung there half an hour. To re-
lieve the intolerable strain the lead
ing guide cut the rope above him
and disappeared into the depths.
The others were then able to pull
Nasse up, but he was dead. The

MORE TROOPS NECESSARY.
Cabinet Divided Over the Policy to Be
Pursued.

Cabinet Divided Over the Policy to Be
Pursued.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE oc-
currences of the last week have in
tensified the conviction OF pubic
men here that the situation IN the
Philippines is very far from salts
factory. Whatever may be the final
result, leading army officials admit
that at least a great deal more hard
fighting may be looked for, and con-
tinued heavy casualties In the
American forces.
The reports from Manila state that
the troops are under great strain,
being kept in the trenches for days
without relief; and what this means
in tropical climate is very well un-
derstood. Sickness...and exhaustion
of our men will do more for the
enemy than Mausers.
With our men dying from heat
and exhaustion in the trenches ana
no substantial ground being gained
and held from the Filipinos, 1T is
felt that now, if ever, is the proper
time to use all the men available.
1t would take some time, If a call
were made at once, to get the men
enrolled and transported to the
Philippines.
What may result from insufficient
forces before new men can be put IN
the field, is not pleasant to contem-
plate. Army officials cannot tel
definitely the number OF men un
der Otis disabled by sickness. The
most conservative calculation places
} it at not less than 5000. With thos'
vet fit for duty unable to get prope
relief, this large number of sicl
must increase daily; the hardship
of the tropics will not be lessene'
, for a long time to come.
: 1t is reported this evening tina
there are serious dissensiOns in tn
Cabinet over the question of enlist
ing the $4,000 provisional army. Tn
q majority of the Presidents adviser
t are said to believe that 1t Is impera
: tive now to call out this additions
force but others oppose it, because
they say, the political effect woul
= be unfortunate. They argue tina
this would be notice to the Worl
/, that the trouble in the Philippine
II ia far from settled, and calls for a
l. our available army to handle 1t.
What decision will be reache
- finally cannot be ascertained
Ii present. The Secretary of War ha
l. stated that about $4,000 of the vo
d unteers will be called first. 1t is b.
lieved that this action will be force
upon the President Immediately a
ter his return. 1t will be q step t
81 ward re-enforcIng Otis, and at tn
ID same time afford middle grour

LOST ON THE
YUKON TRAIL.
A Story of Possible Canni-
balism.
DISAPPEARANCE OF THREE MEN,
Who Left for Jimtown and Were Found
Men Having Been Partly Eaten.

CIRCLE CITY, Alaska, May 20, via
San Francisco, June ia story of
possible cannibalism and death on
the Yukon trail has just reached
here. Three men who left Dahl
River on Dec. 5 for Jimtown, were
not heard of again, and they were
supposed to have been lost. Moth
ing was heard of them here till the
steamer Rideout, which arrived to-
day, brought terrible tale Of suffer-
ing and horror.
The men were Michael DAILY, Victor
Ediar and M. Provost. They were
from Providence, r. l., WoonsOcket,
r. J., and Brockton, Mass, respec-
lively. Their bodies were discovered
seventeen miles from the mouth of
Old Mans Creek, they having lost
the trail and become bewildeIed.
Having left Dahl River with only
three weeks food, but which was
amply sufficient for the $50 miles to
Jimtown, they were soon reduced to
starvation.
Daly's body was found partly eater
on the stove in tent, just as 1t was
left when death overlook the others
Some scraps of moose hide and moe
casin were found, of which they
were endeavoring to make steak
Daly's body was identified by thu
clothes. The other men were fount
dead five miles away from the tent
The fact of the tent flaps being shu
down when found would seen t.
, preclude the possibility of DAILY
body having been eaten by animals
The other men doubtless were driver
by hunger to the awful extremity o
/. cannibalism. Four hundred dollar
, were found on the bodies.

SLOW PROGRESS.
The Filipinos Becoming

LED BY AGUINALDO, THEY ATTACK

MANILA, June 16.-5 :45 p. m.-Af-
ter cutting the railroad and tele-
graph at Apalit, seven miles south,
for the purpose of severing connec-
tion, the rebels attacked Maj. Gen.
MacArthur's lines at San Fernando
at 4 80 o'clock this morning. They
met with an unexpectedly warm re-
ception, and were repulsed with a
loss of seventy-five killed, thirty
prisoners and many wounded.
The rebel force, estimated to have
numbered 5000 men, advanced
stealthily from the jungle north OF
the city and then divided, with the
evident purpose of surrouning the
Americans.
They were allowed to come within
600 yards, when the Fifth Infantry
and the Kansas, Iowa and Montana
troops fired a volley. The rebels
were driven into the jungle. Aguin
aldo is reported to have directed th'
attack in person.

NEW YORK, June 17.-According
to the Washington correspondent of
the Journal and Advertiser, two i'm.
portant decisions were made at the
meeting of the cabinet held just be-
fore the President started for Hol-
yoke, referring to the campaign in
the Philippines. First, that in view
of the strength of Aguinaldo in the
north, as developed in dispatches
from Gen. Otis, the aggressive cam
paign against the rebel chief must
be renewed with vigor.
Second, that the army and navy
must cooperate to maintain a light
blockade of Luzon in order to pre-
uent the landing of supplies of any
character for the rebel forces.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1899-06-23

Philippines to. morrow If it were not
for Gen. Otis. He must know by this
time that, with the limited number
of troops at his command, he can
never nope to crush Aguinaldo. The
truth is, Otis is prolonging the war
in the Philippines for his own end.
He is utterly incompetent; the men
under his command have long re-
allied this, and no longer have any
confidence in him, either as a leader
or as man. President Mckinley
would soon become convinced Of the
truth of this statement If he would
only question some of the men who
have served under Otis and would
believe their evidence"

George MaleCOn Ending HIS Days In
Poverty ana Misery.
SPRINGDALE, ARK, June l2.-
Haunted by the ghosts Of eighty
eight murderers and unable to sleep
on account of his uncanny tormen-
tors, George Maledon, the King of
Hangmen, is ending his days in
poverty and misery on a little farm
two miles south of this place.
Maledon was for many years
executioner at the Fort Smith
Federal Court, where many of the
most noted and desperate criminals
that for years infested the Indian
Territory were brought to trial be-
fore Judge Parker. In that capacity
Maledon officiated at the hanging of
lightweight men, and won for him
self the sobriquet of the liking OF
Hangmen." He has hung more
men than any other officer in the
history of the United States, and
through his long experience became
an expert in his line.
When the Indian Territory was
given courts of it's own, Maledor
started a grocery store at Fort Smith
and accumulated some property
! This he later disposed of anc
travelled over the country exhibit
ing himself as the king of Hang
men," The venture was not finan
ciaI success, and his money was soor
all gone. He then settled ona littl
farm near here, and has at last fall
en- a victim to superstition or in
sanity. j.,
Every night is made miserable t
him by the ina ginary visits OF tn
ghosts of men he has hung. L
keep the ghosts away, bright light
are kept burning at his house a
night and friends guard his bedside

GEN. MILES.
The President U rged to Send Him to the
Philippines.

WASHINGTON, June l7.-President
Mckinley is being strongly urged to
send Gen. Miles to Manila. Gen.
Miles offered his services for the
Manila campaign some time ago, but
as the Filipinos appeared, according
to Gen. Otis reports, to be on the
verge of collapse, it was not deemed
advisable to make a change in the
command of the land forces. Since
that time it is evident that Gen. Otis
seriously underrated his opponents.
Gen. Miles is a veteran Indian
fighter, and at the war department.
it Is conceded that this is the only
style OF campaign from which any
lasting results are to be expected
against the Filipinos. Gen. Otis Is
undoubtedly brave soldier, but MS
work has not up to the present time
been crowned with that success
which, after ali, is the supreme test
of military ability.
