CAPTAIN TITUS REVEALING FACTS
Captain Titus has accumulated evidence with

raids; he has taken prisoners: he has secured con-
victions; he has posted his men at the doors of
scores of disorderly houses to visitors away;
he has driven dissolute women on the streets; he
has scared the disgusting lighthouses into other
precincts; he has. in word entirely changed the
outward character OF the district and he is making
a list of the owners OF houses rented for immoral
purposes, whom he will prosecute IL they do not

MACARTHUR's RENEWED ACTIVITY
CONFIDENT WITH BUT NOT THE RESULT
OF THE ELECTION.

CONFIDENT WITH BUT NOT THE RESULT
OF THE ELECTION.
Manila Nov. 21.-GeneraI Macarthur was
asked to-day whether the result Of the Presi-
Dental election in the United States was in any
wav RESPONSIBLE for the orders to push oper-
atoms against the Filipinos. He replied that the
result Of the election was merely coincident with
other features of the situation. He added that
the return Of the soldiers and marines from
China, with the recruits who had arrived re-
Gently, would increase the number OF troops to
seventy thousand men. The enlargement OF the
forces the ending of the rainy season. better
roads. improved transportation and the desire to
make the most efficient of the volunteers be-
fore their term of service expires, in June. are
all contributory to the more astive campaign.
Concerning the replacing of thirty-hve thou
sand volunteers. General Macarthur said he
favors the establishment of a standing army OF
seventy five thousand men. and authority to the
President to increase it to one hundred thousand
The General also said he was charging the
force in General Young's district to nearly
seven thousand men, that heavy reinforce
ments were being sent to General Hughes, in
the island of Panay that more troops had been
ordered to Southern Luzon, and that various
column movements had been planned.
The stranding OF the coasting transport lndi-
ana is causing long delay in reaching num-
Der of the remote coast stations in Southern
Luzon which have subsistence to November 1
only, and will have to depend largely on foraging
until the Indiana is hoated or steamer Is Sc
cured.
The customs warehouses are congested, which
is delaying the commerce of Manila. General
Smith the Collector of the Port, a meeting
to-day of many importers urged the necessity
for the removal of the goods. The merchants
talk Of organizing company for the erection
of bonded warehouses.
The soldiers and marines who have returned
rom China are selling quantities of curios looted
from the residences of the nobility or wealthy
person at Pekng and Tien-Tsin. Many Of them
are valuable and r6culously cheap, and a num-
Der of presents of such loot have been mailed to
the United States for Christmas.
