NEW FILIPINO SCOUTS.
Four Troops Now Being Organized to
Fight Insurgents.

Correspondence Associated Press.
MANILA. July ls-The military au-
thorities have. ordered the formation Of
four troops OF native cavalry. to be re-
cruited from the Macabebees and off,

the Macabebees tribesmen as American

The Maeabebees have long been used
as scouts and their value in such work
has 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 a very general use
of native troops to preserve order in
the provinces Of Luzon and elsewhere.
While several Of our regiments are to-
day using small details Of Ilocanos,
VisayaDs. and even Tagalogs, as scouts
ard guides. the organization Of native
soldiers. with the notable exception Of
the Macabebees, has been objected to
by the authorities in Manila.

but they are very hard to restrain
from outrage, looting and indiscrimi-
nate killing. Several American Off

Macabebees on the ground that it was
impossible TO restrain them in mo-
ments OF excitement. The Filipino

SUMMER RESORTS.

ITO the mountains our people in in
creasing numbers yearly look for those
days Of relaxation and recreation nec-
essary to maintain the human ma
chine in fair working condition. The
laDguorous sloth Of the seashore proves
very seductive while It lasts, but
many have decided that the an
nual outing should provide not only
radical change of air and surround.
ings, but also such stimulation Of
tagging energies as will provide Drawn
and vigor for the return to labor. For
this they urge the mountain climb and
ramble. the balsam OF the mountain
pines. and the clear. unauthorized
mountain air.
In this direction the Shasta Route
now affords wealth Of attractions.
The entire line Of road from Ashland
to Redding is studded with charming
and accessible hotels and camps. where
are cheer and comfort and healing at
reasonable cost and where you can
hunt. fish. ride. loaf. or play with

Astoria Exchange Ware.
houses Destroyed.
THEORIES AS TO CAUSE
Foard 8 Stokes and Ross. Higgins 4
Co. the Heaviest LoseTs-A Con-
fIagratiOn Which Threatened
the Business Center.

The cause Of the fire which destroyed
on Sunday night the buildings belong
ing to the Astoria Exchange Com
pany near the corner OF Bond and
Twelfth streets. continues to remain a
mystery. Several theories have been
advanced. but there is wide diver
gence Of opinion as to which is the
most plausible. Nearly 200 barrels Of
lime belonging to Foard & Stokes were
in the warehouse at the time and it
is argued that the bursting Of a water
pipe or water from some other source
might have been the cause. This theo-
~ is supported by the fact that In that
particular part OF the building where
the greatest damage was done the
lime barrels were located Another
theory Is that Of spontaneous eombus-
tion in a pile Of coal which had been
stored near where the lime had been
placed. AS to the FIRE having been due
to incendiarism. there are few. If any,
who entertain the idea. The conclu-
sions Of the authorities and those who
have investigated the matter closely
indicate an entirely different view.
The loss sustained from the fire has
been variously estimated all the way
from $4,000 to 5000. 1t is reasonable
to estimate the total loss at about
$1,000. Foard & Stokes were the heavi-
es losers. H
The main portion Of the building had
been leased by the firm as a warehouse
in which to store farming machinery
and rough supplies. A dozen new now
ing machines. a number Of hay rakes.
100 barrels Of lime. among other sup
plies, were destroyed. Foard & Stokes
estimated their loss at about $500, with
$500 insurance. Ross. Higgins & Co.,
had large quantity Of hay stored in
the building. all having been destroyed.
The Alaska Fishermen's Packing AS
ISOLATION occupied a corner Of the
building as offices. The associations
loss was slight owing to the efforts Of
the fire department to save the safe
and other valuable property from fall
ing into the river.
The buildings were Of comparatively
small value 1880 probably covering
the loss There was no insurance.
The fire was discovered about 10
o'clock and before an alarm could be
turned in the flames had burst
through the roof Of the main building
and were leaping high into the air.
The building being entirely Of wood
the fire had enveloped the structure
before the fire department arrived.
Several buildings on the opposite side
Of the street, Fisher Bros store and |
the A. & c. railroad trestle were flick |
ering at many points before the stream /
was turned on. and for a while 1t was
feared that the fire had gained such
headway that the department would be
