MAY ENLIST FILIpINos.


Washington, Nov. 26.-Following is
the tentative scheme of army reor-
ganization; The marine corps, Sec
retary Long insists, shall be expanded
from about 5000 to 10000 and the
latest proposition is to enlist $4,000
Filipino natives. The plan to utilize
the native Filipinos has been hit upon
in order, IL possible, TO relieve the
pressure for American troops in the
Philippines. The president has also,
IL is said, received information re-
garding the operation Of the army in
the Philippines which demonstrates
the fact that the American soldier
is handicapped by the weight Of his
equipment and ammunition. which
makes 1t impossible for such troops
to chase bands Of hslf-naked natives,
acquainted with the eountry and inn
mune from tropical fevers.
Army officers insist that the only
proper way to fight the native is by
putting natives against natives. With
Filipino force OF this magnitude,
IL is also thought the president can
retain at home larger part OF the
regulars to man the garrisons and in
crease the service at the various coast
defense stations. 1t is declared there
are not enough artillerymen. and, as
consequence, the artillery and other
material are fast falling into decay.
Chairman Hull talks about an "accor-
dion army" which can be minimized
to 5000 or expanded 10 100000, at the
pleasure of the president. The dem
oerats will oppose this on the ground
that the proposition is a blind" and
has for its chief purpose the fixing
of minimum of standard never be-
fore dreemed of.

GREAT FOR IRRIGATION.

Country IL Studying it

Chicago. Nov. 27.--Delegates to the
ninth annual convention OF the ma
tional Irrigation congress, when
closed here last Saturday, unanimous
ly declared that greater interest In
the irrigation of the arid lands OF
the United States had been aroused
by this convention than any previous
~ held. II has placed before the peo-
nle of the whole United States the
Importance of the problem OF national
irrigation, and has particularly
brought ii to the attention OF the
people of the east in manner not
otherwise possible. So much gooc
would result from the carrying out
OF the policy by the national govern,
ment and result in so many dinersnt
ways, that people who have no inter'
est in irrigation itself are being AZ
tracted to the idea.
II would accomplish the coloniLa,
tion Of the west and the creation OF
a gr.at market for manufscturingi
q would result in the employment o.
labor. the development OF mining in

The game of foot ball Saturday
between William Jewell college and
Wentworth Military academy teams
resulted In a victory for the W. NJ.
As on score Of 10 TO 0. The cold
north wind and driving rain made
the day a most disagreeable one, but
the local foot ball cranks were out as
usual. They were rewarded for their
trouble by getting TO see one of the
prettlest games that has been played
this season. The academy team won,
but they had 10 make their winnings
NY hard work. Tue halves were
twenty-five minutes aud the fact
that the first half way played In
thirty minutes and the second half
10 thirty-three minutes is evidence
that the teams played ball Instead OF
playing jaw.
The william Jewell team was COM
posed OF gentlemen and they received
most gentlemanly treatment at the
hands of our team. The game was
free from disputes and wrangling
aud when the umpire made a decision
both teams accepted 1t aud went al

Jewell boys were clearly 0utplayed by

Ascent Under Heavy Fire.

Manila, Nov. 26.-The fortress OF the |
insurgent chief, Geronimo, at Pinau-
ran, which the insurgents boasted was
impregnable, was taken and destroyed
by picked force of the Forty-seoond
and Twenty-seventh infantry and
troop @ of the Fourth cavalry, under
Col. Thompson. Geronimo and most
Of the insurgents escaped. The lead
ers had long harassed the Twenty-sev.

ity Of San Mateo, MontRlbon and No
valiehes. He was finally located at
Pinauran, IS miles north OF Manila.
His position was considered the
strongest in Luzon. IL was a stone
fortress surmounting a steep hill sur
rounded by canyons. The Spanish
forces lost heavily in attempting to
take II.
Col. Thompson mobilized 1000 men
at Montalbon. The attack was made
upon four sides-the main body under
Maj. Carey, of the Forty-second adj
vanclng from the south; Capt. Atkin-
son, of the Twenty-seventh, from the
east; Capt. Castool, Of the Twenty
seventh, from tn west. and Capt. Sloan,
of the Twenty-seventh, from the
north. The ascents were steep and
the men climbed them by grasping
the shrubbery. 1t was impossible for
the eastern column to reach the sum
init. but the others arrived after
three hours climbing, under fire from
the fortress and the hillside entrench-
ments. The enemy's force, number
ing several hundred, fed before the
attackers reached the top. The Amer
leans destroyed 1000 insurgent uni
forms, scores of buildings and large
quantities of supplies and seized a
barrel full Of documents.

TO REMOVE UGLY STAINS.
by Following These Instructions the
Thing May he Easily Ae-
compIIshea.

Keep grass stains wet with alcohol
for half an hour by pouring on very
little at q time before attempting to
wash them out. They are harder TO get
rid OF than ink stains, aud once through
the wash, or half cleaned, are indellible.
After soaking with the alcohol, wash
them very quickly, using soft tepid wa
ter, white soap and small stiff-bristled
brush. First wet the brush and rub II
back and forth with sort Of scooping
motion. then rinse the bristles well,
and rub on little soap. Brush hard
for a minute, then turn the stain wrong
side up and brush, using clear water
plentifully, but keeping the stain
pressed down In the folded cloth, so the
water will not spread, says the Wash
ington Star.
When wine or ink Is spilled, never
try to sop II up with dry cloth; use
one wrung out hard instead. A dry
cloth will smear and spread 1t, the wet
one soak 1t up. Boiling water poured
through takes fresh ink stains out OF
cloth. From paper they are best dis
solved with alcohol, laying the stained
leaf over many thicknesses Of blotting
paper. Alcohol further takes ink stains

Light party frocks, as tarletane, or

renewed by careful brushing, particu-
larly in the frills and Fuckers, spraying

gum, stale beer. Dusty, rusty black
lace may be dipped In 1t, laved, but not
squeezed, shaken out, and clapped and
pulled until almost dry. Press with
