Otis Can Raise Another Regimant-

Washington, July 2S.--Three cable mes
'sages from Geenral Otis were received at
the war department. One reports another
engagement with bandits in Cebu in which
the American forces were victorious.
Another dispatch refers to the organiza-
ton of volunteers in the Philippines, as
follows: "Bell has enlisted about 500 men.
Wallace, still in the SOUTH has about 400.
Lockett is now enlisting and has over 400
applications, which are coming in rapidly.
Might raise here an additional regiment,
exclusively volunteers"
The third dispatch says; "The storm
has abated. The Sherman is coaled and
leaves. with all California troops. The
Grant is being coaled and leaves in about
two days with the troops of North Dakota,
Wyoming and Idaho. The Minnesotas are
preparing to leave on the Sheridan as soon
as the transport can be unloaded and
coaled. Other volunteer organizations
leave as soon as transports are available"

Cleveland, July 3l.-The blowing up of
another Euclid Beach suburban car has
demonstrated that the danger point is not
yet passed in connection with the street
ear strike in this city. The plan to re-
lease the military force early next week
will probably be abandoned and the sol
diers retained indefinitely.
Contrary to previous reports, eight pas
sengers were aboard the car wrecked, and
that they escaped serious injury is con-
sidered almost miraculous. The explosive
used was unusually powerful. The heavy
car was lifted fully two feet from the
track by the explosion. The flooring was
blown upwards and over the tops of the
seats.
The authorities are unable to get the
slightest clue to the identity OF the per-
petrators of the outrage.
The cars are now moving on every line
of the Big Consolidated system.
