IN
PHILIPPINES
ORGANIZATION OF FOUR TROC
OF NATIVE CAVALRY
ORDERED.
WILL BE RECRUITED.
FROM MACABEBEES,
Much Counterfeiting in Manila-Mc.
Arthur Disapproves Sentencing
Filipino to Death.

Manila, June 1O.-(Correspondenc of
Associated Press.)-The military author
titles have ordered the formation of four
troops Of native cavalry, to be recruited
from the Macabebees and officered by
Americans. Major Batson, the origina-
Tor OF the idea of employing the Maca-
be'bees tribesmen as American scouts is
tO pc commander Of the new squadron Of
tillpinos horse. The officers will be:
Gelger. Francis Fl. Cameron: first lieu
tenants, David III. Bddle, James Con
way, Clarence @. Culver
The aManabebes have long been used
as scouts and their value in such work
mas already been demonstrated. The
present plan of mounting them is in
tended to render them more effective by
increasing their mobility Many Of our
army officers declare that we must
eventually come to very general use of
native troops to preserve order in the
provinces of Luzon and elsewhere. While
several Of our regiments are today us
ing small details of Ilocanos, visayans
and even TagalOgs as scouts and guides
the organization of native soldiers with
the notable exception of the Macabebees,
has been objected to by the authorities
in Manila. When the Macabebees are
controlled they do good work in their
own line but they are very hard to re-
ldIIl ITOdn outrage, lOOIlng ana 1nQeS-
crminate killing. Several American Off
GERS have declined service with the Ma
cabebees ON the ground that it was i'm
possible to restrain them in moments of
excitement. The Filipino country people
in certain districts remain in the noun
tains instead of coming back to their
village homes because Of their fear of a
visit from the Macabebee scouts. The
Tagalogs and Macabebees are separated
by fierce tribal hatreds and are always
hostile to each other
Zach native cavalryman in the new
mounted organization will take the fol-
lowing oath: .
I'VE, the undersigned do severally
agree that we wiil wei land faithfully
serve the limited States of America as
scouts in the squadron of Philippine
cavalry from this. the ---- duay -,
1900. until the Both day of Tune, 1901, un-
less sooner discharged. This contract Is
made with a full knowledge and in con-
formity of general order number 25, all
provisions of which, including the pay
and allowance established therein, are
hereby accepted and made part of this
contract. And we do further agree to
obey and abide by all such laws, orders
and regulations as have been or may be
hereafter prescribed"
The pay of Macabebee soldiers will be
just one-haf that given to American
troops, owing to the fact that they are
to be paid in Mexican silver, while the
Americans are paid in gold.

The gums Of the British cruiser Terri
BILE, the American gunboat Nashville
and other warships in the harbor were

alacrity. Sentries were posted and close
watch kept on the natives.
The men ON board the ships kept close
to thsir guns and prepared to open fire
en- moments notice, but the occasion
did not arise.

BOERS ARE CONCENTRATING.
Probably 10000 Men Are Now Near
Pretoria.

New York. July IA dispatch to the
Herald from Pretoria says: The reports
circulated in London and cabled out here
that General Roberts is Ill are absolutely
unfounded. As matter of fact. see him
walking and riding about daily.
The Beers continue massing from 10 to
20 miles outside the Magaliesburg range,
near Pretoria. Their laagers now extend
to the Delagoa Bay railway, across the
Warsburg line, westward.
The enemy's total strength Is variously
estimated, but is probably about 10000 men,
with many guns
AS has happened on previous occasions,
the period OF inaction of our main army
has given the enemy confidence, SO the
Boer raiders creep closer in. The Beers
cut OF detached bodies of troops. The sit
uation is annoying but without actual
danger, whatever the enemy's plans may
be and whether they are counting upon
inside help or not.

out that the American force in China
would be too small for an officer Of the
grade ~ lieutenant general to command.
General Nsales would be glad to go, could
he be in supreme command of the allied
forces, but this is impossfb1e IN view of
