WHAT GEN. OTIS WANTS.
viii he satisned ~ the Phillppins
Army IL Kept Up to q MAXI
mum of Thirty Thousand.

Washington, May 31.-The Post
says:
Gen. Otis has informed the war de-
partment that he will be satisfied IL
the army under his command Is kept
at maximum of 10000. The pres.
ident will give him this number.
Subject of Extended Conference.
The situation in the Philippines was
the subject of an extended conference
yesterday, between the president and
Adjt.-Gen. Corbin. In view of the
more or.less alarming reports which
have been sent to the United States
from Manila, it is important to know
that the president does not share in
the anxiety which these dispatches
created.
VIII Make HIS Wants Known.
Gen. Otis has kept in close touch
with the authorities here, and If he
was in tight position, which the
press reports seem to indicate, it is
felt that he would not hesitate about
making his dilemma known. On the
contrary, the advices received from
him show that he is not in need of q
largely-increased army. He has ca
bled that the press reports of the ac-
tivity of the insurgents south of Ma
Mia have been greatly exaggerated,
and he thinks that 10000 men will be
ample to meet all requirements.
Present strength Of the Army.
The present strength OF the army in
the Philippines, including volunteers
who are STILL i'm the service, is $4,000.
When the volunteers return, some a.
COO regulars will remain, or 5000 less
than the number estimated as neces-
sary by Gen. Otis. The reinforce
ments now en- route to Manila. or un-
der orders to depart, will bring the
total of regulars up to the required
figure, but as there will be considera-
BILE loss through sickness. 1t is pro-
posed to decrease the companies now
stationed in garrisons i'm this country
to their minimum and increase the
companies in the Philippines to their
maximum. 1t is believed that this ar
rangement will give Gen. Otis all the
men he requires without disarrang-
ing the army as it is at present dis
tributed.
No More Until Called For.
Ii car be stated on authority that
until Gen. Otis asks for an additional
force, there will be no enlargement Of
the army, not even to the extent of re-
cruiting the $4,000 natives provided
for in the army reorganization bill
which passed the last congress.

DECORATION DAY At MANILA.
The Graves of Three Hundred Sol
diers C0vered with SILK FlaEn
md beautiful Flowers

Manila. May 31.-Memorial day was
celebrated at Battery Knoll. where
Scctt's guns were planted against the
Filipino trenches in the first days
fiyhting at Manila. Nearly 300 soldiers
lie buried there on bleak mound sur
rounded by rice fields, rough boards
marking the graves, which are ranged
in unbroken rows. Beyond these are
Spanish block houses and bamboo
hedges, which were mown by shells
from the American guns.
The few soldiers who could be
spared from the trenches came to Bat
terry Knoll. dusty and bronzed. bearing
flowers with which to strew their com
RACES graves. A silk flag was placed
above each mound The day was as
mild as New England spring day,
when, just before sunset, a few hun
dred Americans gathered in circle
around Battery Knoll in blue and
brown uniforms.
Among the soldiers we're groupes of
American ladies, and Brown-faced ma
ti.cs peering curiously at the unwont-
ed spectacle from points near by.
The guns of the monitor Monadnock
bombarding Paranaque, doomed a sig
nificant reminder of the nearness of
war. just as the Sixth artillery band
began a dirge, the thunder of the
Monadnock's guns ceased, while taps
sounded from the bugle.
Col. Charles DENLY, of the United
States Philippine commission. presided
at the exercises. He spoke briefly of
the peculiar solemnity of the day to
Marila.
The chaplain of the British cruiser
Powerful made an invocation.
Chaplain Pierce, of the Twenty-third
infantry, and Chaplain Cressey, of the
Minnesota volunteers, delivered ora
tions. and the soldiers sang appropri-
ate hymns.
When taps sounded the soldiers took
the flags from the graves to send to
relatives of the dead.
Similar services were held over the
deaG in the Paco cemetery. Col. Den
by was the orator on this occasion.
The graves were decorated with a vast
quartity of magnificent flowers.
High mass for the dead of the Ro-
man Catholic communion was ceie-
brated at the Paco cemetery in the
morning. Orations were delivered by
Father McKinnon and Chaplain Steven
son of the Idaho regiment.

Mayor Harrison, Gen. Thomas Ander-

officers yesterday reviewed the longest
Memorial Day parade that has turned
cut in this city in years. The weather
was perfect, and the city was filed
with out-of-town visitors. A most en-
thusiastic greeting was given 1000 sol
diers Of the Spanish war, a continued
ovation marking their progress along
the line of march. There were no spe-
cial features attending the decoration
of graves at the various cemeteries.

THE HANDS Of CHILDREN.
Washington Inaugurates New De-
parture in the Ceremonies
of Decoration Day.
THE SOLUTION OF 4 VtXeD PROBLEM.
the Public schools Performed the
Loving Duty of Strewing Flowers
Oh the Graves Of the Dead Re-
Gardless of section.

Washington. May 31.-Washington
has inaugurated IA new Memorial day
custom. Soldiers graves were deco
rated b, volunteer bands of children
from the public schools. The plan
has been carefully considered, and was
carried through with the hope that it
may become permanent. The veter-
ans of the civil war are growing old
and few. 1t is apparent that within a
short time the work of decoration
must necessarily pass to other hands.
An Appropriate Time.
This seemed to be an altogether APP
propriate anniversary to delegate the
patriotism of the country which has
been aroused to n high pitch by the
recent war with Spain. Why should
not the school children give natural
expression to it by bringing together
the flowers and placing them upon the
graves of all soldiers. This has met
with a hearty response, which prom
ises we'll for the perpetuation of the
new custom.
Children at Every Cemetery.
Bands of children. divided evenly as
to the sexes. visited every cemetery
in and about Washington. Their Of
fetal badges were white and pink car
nations. They strewed flowers on the
graves OF all American soldiers, of Tn
ion and confederate, and of those who
served against foreign foes. The pro-
gramme had been CAREFUL planned.
The assignments were made for all of
the cemeteries. The decoration was
done with the Grand Army posts, the
Confederate Veterans ana other war
organizations as witnesses, rather
than as active participants in the
strewing of the flowers.
Nay Solve vexed Problem.
The spirit with which the children
and their teachers entered into the
work is all that those who suggested
the idea could have asked. If the new
custom proves what it promises to be
in Washington, it is expected to spread
to the whole country. If it does. il
will solve the problem of joint decora-
tion of Union and confederate graves.
and the children of the pablic schools
will hereafter do the memorial honors
TO the soldier dead.

THE PENALTY OF AMBITION.

He went away to war and fought,
And people praised him then
He'd earned place, we fondly
thought,
Amongs the bravest men,
We read reports of how he led
His boys into the fray
OF how when less alive than dead.
They carried him away.
But since he's got back home they've
gone
And put him on to run
For congress in this district on
The record that he won
And 10, a change has come about.
We thought him brave and true,
Yet now his honesty is doubt,
His valor's questioned. too.
They say he hardly heard shot;
Nor made Spaniard run;
They say the battles that he fought
BY other men were won;
The shoulder straps he brought away
Were never earned, they claim,
And he, so praised before today
Has got wretched name.
