MORE TROOPS Needed
General Macarthur on the Situa-
ton in the Philippines.
Declares Tint the Insurgents Arc
Stronger and More Determined
1ncrcnscd Force to Subduc Them
Effect of McI<inley's Recollection.

| According to the statement made by a
War Department official yesterday, Adju-
tant General Corbin. on Friday, sent a
despatch to General Macarthur ordering
him. by request of the President, to at
once begin an active campaign against the
Filipinos and to crush out the insurrec-
ton. The message is said to have been
extremely curt and General Macarthur
only received it yesterday. when he ie-
turned from tour of inspection around
Subig Bay.
General Corbin received reply to the
message yesterday and is alleged to be
somewhat put out over the contents. In the
cablegram General Macarthur defends his
course OF action and points to the daily isis
of casualties as an evidence OF his active
campaign. II is also acknowledged that the
insurgents are stronger today than ever
before and that the United States cannot
hope to successfully contend with the OPP
posing forces unless heavy re-enforcements
are sent at once.
General Macarthur further states that
the news of the result of the elections
in the United States has had no effect on
the natives, save to inspire them with
greater activity, and that the outlook
promises no speedy end to hostilities.
He claims that he has scattered his forces
over an enormous area and when his gal
liant soldiers have cleared one district and
entered another. they are continually har-
assed, van and flank, and have neither
rest nor safety at any time.
General Bates is daily meeting over
whelming forces, the despatch states,
General Hare is attacked at every move
in Martinique, and General Grant is en-
deavoring to cut his way to safety only
thirty miles north Of Manila, which has
always been considered pacifed territory.
The American losses in three days are
given as twenty-three privates and one
officer killed and eleven privates wounded.
In his report on his inspection OF Su-
big Bay and adjacent territory. General
Macarthur states that the troops are in
very unhealthy and unsatisfactory con-
dition, and asks that they be removed to
better quarters.
The entire Thirty ninth Infantry, which
was stationed at Laguna de Bay, is re-
ported to be in demoraiized condition
through illness and constant fighting. 1t
is recommended that the command be al
lowed to proceed to Taal to recuperate.
In this event it is believed the Filipinos
will again seize the territory and the la
Dor of n year will be undone.
Adjutant General Corbin Immediately
forwarded the General Macarthur mes
sage to the President, who is expected to
take action on it at the today's Cabinet

meeting of the Republican members Of

that in the period from June 49, 1898, to
June 30, 1900, the War Revenue act pro-
duced ss1l ,14i,2 The largest income was
from items in Schedule 4, being in round
numbers over $4,000, 900. In \this class
were included the tax on telegsams, ex-

Great pressure was exerted upon Congress
during the last session, and is now being
exerted upon members of the Ways and
and proprietary medicine men to secure
reduction of the taxes which they pay and
then recover from their patrons.
Under the ''act to provide ways and
means to meet war expenditures and fer
other purposes" approved June 10. 1898.
the tax of beer is the first tax specified. 1t
is set down that there shall be paid in
lieu of the tax of 81 now imposed by law,
tax Of 81 on all beer. lager beer, ale.
porter. and other similar fermented liquors
brewed OF manufactured or sold, or stored
in warehouses or removed for consumption
or sale within the United States by what
ever name such liquors may be called, for
every barrel containing not more than thir-
ty-one gallons. and at a like rate for any
other quantity or for the fractional parts
of barrel authorized and defined by law"
The brewers have been insistent, and par
ticularly is this true of the smaller brew
ers, to have the tax imposed for the pUr-
pose of meeting war expenditures removed.
The special tax On bankers using or en-
ploying a capital not exceeding the sum
of .0eo is $50 annually, and 50 for each
additional $1,000.
Schedule B of the Revenue law. which
treats of medicinal proprietary prepare
lions, contains. it is said. certain inequali-
ties which the Committee on Ways and
Means desires to adjust.

THIEVES RICH HAUL.
Residence of w. H. Moses Robbed of
Jewelry md Diamonds.

Jewelry ind Diamonds.
Diamonds and jewelry valued at 81. 500
were stolen last night from the residence
Of ". H. Moses, 2129 Wyoming Avenue
northwest. No clew to the thieves has
been obtained. Detectives Horne and
Father and Policeman Brennerman are
at work on the case. The property be-
longed to Mrs. Moses and was taken from
her bedroom.
A partial investigation made last night
by Detective Horne discloses the fact that
the property was taken between and s
o'clock while the entire family was at
dinner. 1t has been customary at the
Moses home to dine between those hours
and it is thought this may have been
known to the thieves. The diamonds and
jcwelry belonging to Mrs. Moses were left
as usual in private drawer in her bu-
reau last night when she went to the din
ing room. Her apartment is located on
the second floor of the house. at the front
OF the building. Last night, it is believed.
the front door of the house was left I'M
locked during the dinner hour so that
the thief or thieves could have entered
the house and passed to the floor above
without attracting attention.
The first known Of the robbery was when
Mrs. Moses returned to her room after
dinner. She looked into the drawer of
the bureau and was surprised to find
everything in disorder and the jewels
gone. Mr.. Moses was told of the robbery
and he at once notified the police. De-
tective Horne went to the house from
headquarters and Policeman Brennerman
was assigned to the case from the Eighth
precinct station.
They went over the ground carefully.

there any confusion apparent about the
bedroom. list of the stolen articles was
taken by the police and telegraphed at a
late hour to various large cities. Local
pawnshops were also notified.

The French gun Buffingt miles Hgh,
broke out afresh yesterday, when AID
jutant General Corbin came over to the
forces led by General Burlington and as
serted his belief that General Miles was
all wrong on the question Of artillery,
and that the Chief OF the Ordnance Bu-
reau was right.
The matter became known through the
following bulletin issued by the Adjutant
General:
"Adjutant Generals Office,

1t is now openly asserted that General
Corbin forwarded the above query in or

though the latter has never doubted the
efficiency of the batteries in China. but
held that more advanced type OF ord

FARWELL ANSWERS.
Troubles Of the Telephone Companies
in the District Court.


in the District Court.
From Fridays Daily.
Hart F. Farwell, one of the defend
ants in the case of j. o. Hunnell and
thirty-four other stockholders of the
Ottumwa Long Distance telephone
against that company, Jay G. Cod
dard, R. L. Hardin, P. E. Wilcox and
Hart F. Farwell, has filed an answer
to the petition of plaintiff in which he
admits that he acted for the Iowa tele-
phone company, which is the same
thing as the Bell corporation, and that
the latter furnished the funds with
which to pay for the purchase. BY a
supplemental petition the Ottumwa
Long Distance telephone company al
SO joins with the plaintiffs in the orig
inal petition and asks the same relief,
viz: that the sale of the property of
the Ottumwa Long Distance Tele-
phone company to Farwell be declared
null and void. Farwell denies that he
acted in anything but good faith in the
transaction and expressly denies that
he conspired to defraud the stockhold-
ers out of their property as the origin
al petition alleges. The supplemental
petition of the Ottumwa Long Dis
lance Telephone company in which it
joins with Hunnell ct al, also asks mat
the Iowa Telephone company be made
party to the suit.
This brings the Bell people directly
into the matter and will force them to
fight for the possession of the line,
while heretofore they have remained
passive, not having been named as a
party defendant in any of the plead.
ings filed. At the next term the court
may grant the prayer of the Ottumwa

asked in it's supplemental petition. E

A CASE OF skIN-sHEDDlNe.
Peculiar Result From Severe Case
of Scarlet Fever.
rEro,p C,t,,r1oy.c naiJv

DR.. N. A. Baker has peculiar case
under treatment at present in the per-
son of the 10 year old daughter of Mr..
ard Mrs. Thomas Hennessy, on West
Mechanic street. The case is what is
generally termed one of skin-shedding.
A number of physicians have been call
ed in to see the patient.
DR.. Baker said today that several
similar cases have been reported thru
the newspapers and medical journals,
and no doubt the public will remember
two of which were in Missouri during
the past summer. The cases in Mis-
souri, shed annually, however, while
the local one has shed twice during
the past three months. Extreme suf-
fcring and great weakness is caused
by reason of deep cracks in the flesh,
being sometimes eight and ten inches
in length.
1t is believed the diseased condition
in this case is the result Of an imper-
feet convalescence from scarlet fever
and an examacious condition of the
skin by which the outer layer is de.
tached from the underlying layers
and SO peels off. The shedding is
general, effecting the skin of the en-
tire body. The condition of the child
is one to excite sympathy in the hard
est heart.

LABOR COMMISSIONER HERE.
Will Ask Legislature to Make Laws
for Laboring People.

w -eSS' '''S SSF'~'
From Tuesdays Daily.
G. F. Wennerstrum, state labor COM
missioner, was in the city today en-
route from Keokuk, Pennington and
Bonaparte, where he inspected the
conditions surrounding laboring people
in the factories of those places, to his
home in Des Moines. Mr.. Wenner-
strum says ne finds conditions very
good over the state, except that the
matter of sanitation is not what 1t
should be owing largely to neglect.
Nj. Wennerstrum said it was unfor-
tunate that the state has no laws gov
erning many matters along this line,
but he expressed the hope that he
would be able to make the legislature
see the need of some legislation on the
subject. The commissioner is allow
ed but $500 for travelling expenses.
Iowa is big state and that sum will
not enable him to thoroly do the state.
He says he is enabled to get in none
but the larger towns, with but few ex-
ceptions, on his allowance, hence he
does not have matters as well in hand
all over the state as he would like.
