GREAT FOR IRRIGATION.
Chicago Congress Lat Week Gave the
Subject Big Impetus and the Whole
Country Il Studying 1t.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Delegates to the
ninth, annual convention of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress, which
closed here last Saturday, unanimous
ly declared that greater interest in
the irrigation of the arid lands of
the United States had been aroused
by this convention than any previous
~ held. It has placed before the peo-
pie of the whole United States the
Importance of the problem of national
irrigation, and has particularly
brought it to the attention of the
people of the east in a manner not
otherwise possible. So much good
would result from the carrying out
of the policy by the national govern
ment and result in so many different
ways, that people who have no inter-
est in irrigation itself are being at
tracted to the idea.
It would accomplish the colonial
ton of the west and the creation Of
a great market for manufacturing;
it would result in the employment of
labor, the development of mining, in
assistance to navigation, in the pre-
vention of floods and in relief for the
congested condition of our cities in
supplying material for thousands of
small rural homes.

MAY ENLIST F1LIpINOs.
War Department Preparing to Fight No
:ives with Nasives-Chairman Hull
Would Have Expanding Army.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Following is
the tentative scheme of army reOr-
ganization: The marine corps, Sec
rotary Long insists, shall be expanded
from about 5000 to 10000 and the
latest proposition is to enlist $1,000
Filipino natives. The plan to utilize
the native Filipinos has been hit upon
in order, if possible, to relieve the
pressure for American troops in the
Philippines. The president has also,
it is said, received information re-
garding the operation of the army in
the Philippines which demonstrates
the fact that the American soldier
is handicapped by the weight of his
equipment and ammunition. which
makes it impossible for such troops
to chase bands of half-naked natives,
acquainted with the country and inn
mune from tropical fevers.
Army officers insist that the only
proper way to fight the native is by
putting natives against natives. With
a Filipino force of this magnitude,
it is also thought the president can
retain at home a larger part of the
regulars to man the garrisons and in
crease the service at the various coast
defense stations. 1t is declared there
are not enough artillerymen, and, as
a consequence, the artillery and other
material are fast falling into decay.
Chairman Hull talks about an "accor-
dion army" which can be minimized
to 5000 or expanded to 100000, at the
pleasure of the president. The dem
ocrats will oppose this On the ground
that the proposition is ''blind" and
has for it's chief purpose the fixing
of a minimum of standard never be-
fore dreamed of.

INTREPID FIGHTERS.
Americans Storm and Capture an
Insurgent Stronghold.


Manila, Nov. 26.-The fortress of the
msurgent chief, Geronimo, at Pinau-
ran, which the insurgents boosted was
lmpregnable, was taken and destroyed
by picked force of the Forty-second
and Twenty-seventh infantry and
troop G of the Fourth cavalry, under
Col. Thompson. Geronimo and most
of the insurgents escaped. The lead
ers had long harassed the Twenty-sev-
enth infantry, operating in the vicin-
ity of San Mateo, Montalbon and No
watches. He was finally located at
Pinauran, IS miles north of Manila.
His position was considered the
strongest in Luzon. 1t was a stone
fortress surmounting a steep hill sur
rounded by canyons. The Spanish
forces lost heavily in attempting to
take it.
Col. Thompson modified 1000 men
at Montalbon. The attack was made
upon four sides-the main body under
Maj. Carey, of the Forty-second ad
vancing from the south; Capt. Atkin.
son, of the Twenty-seventh, from the
east; Capt. Castool, of the Twenty
seventh, from tn west, and Capt. Sloan,
of the Twenty-seventh, from the
north. The ascents were steep and
the men climbed them by grasping
the shrubbery. It was impossible for
the eastern column to reach the sum-
NIT, but the others arrived after
three hours climbing, under fire from
the fortress and the hillside entrench-
ments. The enemy's force, number
ing several hundred, fled before the
attackers reached the top. The Amer
leans destroyed 1000 insurgent uni
forms, scores of buildings and large
quantities of supplies and seized a
barrel full of documents.
