Car Michael, predestined to occupy

A MAJORS TRIBUTE.

Service.
San Francisco, Aug. 5.-That the
work of the Utah batteries in the
Philippines was appreciated by the old
warehouses" is evidenced by the fol-
lowing story which is going the
rounds:
Major Bell of the Seventh cavalry
rode down the firing line one day and
stopped to look at the work being done
by the Utah artillery. He saw that
the men were weak from irregular
hours and exposure, he saw that many
of them should have been in hospital
wards. Then this veteran of two wars
raised his hat and said, with grim
smile:

MORE SOLDIERS NEEDED.
Volunteer Omcer SAYS One Hundred Thoes-
and Men are Needed IN Philippines

en1 ANA ~ -sS~-~- :
San Francisco, Aug. Am officer Of
one of the volunteer regiments now in
the Philippines has the following to
say regarding the situation there:
1.-The arrival of the rainy season
finds the instruction as vigorous as it
has been any time since the outbreak.
The insurgents armies are well re-
cruited Notwithstanding their heavy
losses and are well fed and clothed.
They have profted by their five
months of warfare against the Ameri-
cans. They are fast adopting Ameri-
can tactics and are becoming better
disciplined and more skillful in the use
of their weapons every day.
Zone hundred thousand soldiers
should be here ready for business by
the beginning of the dry season in
November Garrisons could then be
stationed at strategic points. A con-
tinuous warfare cannot be carried on
in this enervating climate by the same
troops. Frequent reliefs are necessary.
Troops should not be kept here longer
than year.
1.-The 5000, 900 people of the Phil
ippines are as highly civilized as the
12, 900, 900 of Mexico.
''If the American people will imag
inc the United States to have acquired
Mexico against her will and to be en-
gagged in an attempt to put down a
universal rebellion of the Mexicans
with 10000 troops, they will have a
duplicate picture at close range of the
situation in the Philippines, with the
exception that the climate of the Phil
ippines is from 10 to Is degrees more
tropical than that of Mexico"

Root Is Rushing Matters.

Washington, Aug. 6. -Secretary Root
has notified General Otis that six regi-

assistance. 1t seems to be the policy
of the new secretary of war to rush the
raw volunteer regiments to Manila as
soon as possible, and he will endeavor
to get six regiments off from Frisco
by the end of August. The new secre-
tary seems to be bound to do something
TO show that he has taken hold of the
department, even if he does that some
thing wrong.
