THE RESERVES CALLED.
The Queen, by Special Message Will
Call Out the Reserves for Per-
maMent Service.

London, Oct. 1S.-In the house of
commons, the first lord OF the treas
ury and government leader. Arthur J.
Balfour, brought in the following mes
sage from the queen.
1.-The state of affairs in Africa hav-
ing constituted, in the opinion of her
majesty, case of emergency within
the meaning Of the act of parliament,
her majesty deems it proper to provide
additional means for military service.
She has, therefore, thought it right to
communicate to the house that her
majesty is, by proclamation, about to
order the embodiment of the militia
and to call out the militia reserve
force. or such part thereof, as her maj
esty may think necessary, for per-
nunent service
1t is not believed that the militia
are to be sent to South Africa. Pre-
sumaby they will replenish the de-
nuded British garrison towns, AMI
thus permit the government to send
to the Cape all the regulars necessary
BY developments in South Africa.
A supplementary army estimate has
been issued asking the house OF COM
mons to vote an additional $4,000 men
to the Cape all the regulars rendered
necessary by developments in South
Africa.
1t is explained that the $4,000 men
represent the probable maximum ex'
cess beyond the establishment fixed
for lS99.19OO, and is in consequence OF
the calling out of the reserves and OF
the temporary transfer of troops fro1r
the Indian to. the British establish
ment. With the additional e1O,oW'.
600. the total army estimates are ESQ.,
$1,000, over $15O,OO0,OOO.
According to the statistics published

Manila, Oct. 1S.-Gen. Otis has re-

from the insurgent Gen. Pho del Pillar,
offering to sell out his army, and to
deliver Aguinaldo into the hands of
the Americans. Although he is not
satisfied that this offer is authentic, it
is not intrinsically improbable. The
policy of G"n. Otis is firmly set against
buying any surrenders.

Pho del Pillar offers, for the sum of
$50, 900, to refrain from attacking Ma
nila with his army; for the sum of
$25O,OOO he offers to surrender his
army after sham battle, both sides
firing into the air, and for the sum OF
100000, he says he will procure the
overthrow Of the instruction and the
capture Of Aguinaldo, Palermo and the
other leaders. In the course OF the
communication he refers to Aguinaldo
in contemptous terms, indicating that
trained relations exist between. them

Reports are being received from the

Pillar has an audacious plan to break

started with an idea Of helping him tt
make a deal with the Americans.
