TROOPS INTO FIELD.
The Rebellion of the Tagals To Be
Stamped Out Before the Rainy
Season Sets In.

NEW YORK, November S.-A special
to the Sun from Washington says:
Orders that have gone forward to Gen
eral Macarthur to crush the Tagal in
surgents contemplate a four months
campaign of the most vigorous charac-
ter, in which 10000 American soldiers
will participate. 1T will be very
active campaign" was all Secretary
Root would say, but enough is known,
which may be properly published of the
War Departments plans to show there
is every reason to hope for the termina-
ton of the struggle in the Philippines
before the end of the dry season.
In addition to the encouragement
which has come to the Government
through the blow struck at the Filipino
cause by the Endorsement of President
McKinley's administration at the polls
on Tuesday, the War Department got
news today that will insure keeping
a larger American force in the field in
the coming aggressice campaign than
was believed to be possible Quarter
master-G General Ludington had the sat
isfactiOn of reporting to the Secretary
of War and the Adjutant- General that
he had succeeded in making arrange
ments for bringing home all the volun-
teer army, $4,000 strong, within the
period of three months, and it would
therefore not be necessary to begin the
withdrawal of the volunteers from the
Philippines Immediately in order to in
sure the presence of all of them within
the limits of the United States by June
30, 1901, when, according to the act of
Congress creating the volunteer army
they must be mustered out.

"The enemy, in considerable
strength, opposed Buffers and Poe

and persistent. Butler hopes his cas-

RECIPROCITY WITH ECUADOR
Sen. Archibald j. sampson, Our Min
lister mt Quito, Has NegOtIat-
ell n Commercial Treaty.

San Francisco, Aug. 27.-Gen. Archi-
bald j. Sampson, United States minis
ter to Ecuador, has arrived here after
three years residence at Quito. He
says that he has just concluded a rec
iprocity commercial treaty with the
Ecuadorian government of decided
advantage to both countries and of
special interest to California. The ex-
port Of flour and wine will be especial
ly fostered under the treaty. Wine is
in excellent demand, and flour is $25
per 100 pounds. This excessive price
is due to the high import duties, and
the fact that all supplies have to be
packed to the city of Quito over a diff
ficult trail 315 miles up into the
Andes, and at an altitude of 10000
feet.
Gen. Sampson says that Ecuador re-
Gently established the gold standard,
although it will not go into effect I'M

PHENOMENAL ENLIsTMENTS.
No Trouble Experienced in Keeping
the Regular Army Up to the
Full Legal Limit.

New York, Aug. Establishments in
the army have been phenomenal
since the beginning of the trouble in
China, says the Washington cor
respondent of the Herald. Young
men in all parts of the country have
focked to the recruiting stations anx-
ious to see active military service in a
foreign land. The recruiting officers
are taking their pick of the applicants
and are having no difficulty in keep
ing the regular army about up to its
full limit under the law. Col. Thomas
Ward, the assistant adjutant general
in charge of the enlisted mems divi-
sion, said that enlistments in the
army have never been so numerous
as at present. This is the more re-
markable since the recruiting in the
harvesting period is always less than
at any other time of the year.

thousands of spectators uncovered as

Banner" Bishop Fallows delivered

The Cause of the Tragedy.

Mrs. DR.. Wright was about Atty
years old. II is stated that she was
formerly an actress. For some time
she has been conducting a lying-in-
hospital on the outskirts of Gilman.
The death of Bessie Salter, in the
house last Friday, and the later ver-
dict of the coroner's jury, Saturday,
caused the issuance of warrant for
her arrest, which resulted in the
Wholesale shooting and probable
death of the principal.
Attempt TO Lynch Mrs. Wright.
Mrs. Wright was brought to the
city hall and a strong guard placed
over her. A crowd soon assembled at
the city hall and threats of lynching
were uttered. Every effort was made
TO quiet and dispense the mob, but at
$3.50 Monday fornoon the mob made
another demonstration, smashing in
tho windows with stones and clubs.
This eliminated in a shot being fired
through the window by one of mob,
barely missing the woman. The Off
GERS finally restored order but it
seemed probable that there would be
further trouble. The coroner's jury
adjourned till one o'clock.
