Americans, Iuglish and Jops Advancing,

Washington, August l.-Somc fea-
lures OF the dispatch received from
General Chafiee yesterday, and which
the war department refused to make
public, became known today.
The first dispatch received by the
war department from General Chaifce
contained very little information, but
closed with the statement that he
was going forward To Tientsin and
would give his views. That is what
he has done.
His views, as cabled in thedlspatch
OF yesterday, would he far from pal
atable to several foreign govern
ments and that is one reason why
the dispatch was not made public.
This much is asserted: General
Chafiee and the United States iocres
available under his command have
gone forward towards Pekin with
the British and japanese forces. The
troops Of the other nations assem-
bled at Tlentsln did not join in the
movement, but the reasons given By
General Chaffee could not be learned

out in General Chalicc's dispatch, but
in discussing the matter with the
war department he has been more
specific and the names Of the com
mands are given which failed to

nounced emphatically that it would

THIRTY-TWO DROWNED
An Awful Disaster Off the Nova

Yarmouth. n. s., Nov. n.-For ten
miles about this place the coast is

and cargo of the steamer Monticello,

five bodies have thus far been recov-

surf in this region is appalling. a few
years ago the steamer Peter Stewart
was wrecked off this shore and one of
her boats attempted to land where the
Monticello's lifeboat was found. Half
the men were dead before the boat
touched the shore, and it is believed
this is true of the Monticello's boat
also. The total number of people
aboard the Monticello is now placed
at thirty-six, of whom only four sur

OF AN ATHLETIC NATURE
What the Golf and Ball Men and
Cyclists Are Doing.

There is plenty doing in athletic
sports at present, and a promising out
look for the winter. In base ball, foot
ball, cycling, golf and indoor pastines
there is no scarcity of preparations.
The DeMund ball team, after a dor
manit psriod resulting from line severe
defeat inflicted by the Los Angeles
nine, has aroused itself to life and is
daily in anticipation of a ssries of
games ait Tucson, next week and sew
eral games here during the carnival.
Three or four new men are giving a.
better tone to the quality of ball being
dished up in practice.
The bicycla club will make it's first
run on Tuesday eveEing and during the
balance of the winter will make weekly
trips to various points CT interest. A
number Of the faster riders are in train
ing for the road race to be rum during
the carnival.
The golf players expect to get into
action in a few days. The links at the
Country club grounds will be ready
fer use the latter part of this week and
at a NEE ting of the club this evening
plans for the club house will be dis
cussed.
In foot bail the only notable event in
sight is the Thanksgiving day game
between the Indian school and the Uni
versity of Arizona. The Indian eleven
is playing good foot ball in practice and
shows much improvement derived from
experience gained in it's game with the
noI-nral school a week ago. 1t is still in
need of much coaching in defensive
work and in end running ana handling
of punts. In line-buck.ing the Indians
have acquired great proficiency, as was
demonstrated in Gheir last game, but
the team is too light to make an inn
preston on q line which is able to put
up a good defense. In the game with
the normal eleven the red men expert
enced no great difficulty in hammering
through the line and We're satisfied to
let the 5ndS alone. The university is
preparing to meet just SUCH tactics and
putting her guards and tackles through
a special course of sprouts, in antici-
patton Of tine IIfdians following out the
same course of action which Won them
their first game. The Monarch eleven
is practicing for game with the In
dfans' second team next Saturday and
has several other games in view.
The athletic club is paying little at
tention to outdoor sports, having aban-
doned it's intention of placing a foot
ball team in the field. 4Nhe club. how
ever, is preparing to give Il series of
exhibitions at its gymnasium, the first
one on November 2. The programme
will consist of boxing. wrestling, ira
peze, horizontal and parallel bar work,
bag punching, etc. There are now
almost ninety members in th5 club.

BETTER NAVY NEEDED.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE startling
statement is made in the report of Ad-
miral Crowninshield, chief of the navi-
cation bureau, that the present per-
sonnet of the navy would form barely
one-fourth of the total establishment
necessary to fight a firSt-class Euro
pean power. 1t barely sufficed for the
Spanish war, and no longer can be con-
sldered, the report says, as an effective
nucleus about which a larger estab-
lfshment could be formed incaseo< war
The admiral severely criticizes the in
effective effort of congress a the last
session to meet immediate needs for
officers by the authorized employment
of retired officers, and recommends the
immediate repeal of that act. 1t is
recommended that for the next ten
years appointments to Annapolis be
doubled, the president and representa-
tives in congress appointing two in
stead of one wherever authorized now
and that in addition senators be given
the same privilege of appointment as
representatives.. Then to meet future
needs, it is recommended whenever
congress authorizes an increased num-
Der of vessels in the navy, it also pro-
vide, in the same act for an increase
of officers and men to man the ships

AT THE THEATER
Season Just Opened Promises Well in
the initial Attractions.

Hermann, the magician began on
Friday local theatrical season which
promises to be full of good things. Year
by year the bills-5f-fare offered up to
Phoenix worshipers at the shrine of
Thaspis, have improved, until the pres
ent season brings out as fine a list of
attractions as the most discriminating
patrons of the alE theatrical could de-
sire, even in a city of twice the size of
Phoenix.
The next event on the programme
is the appearance of Harry Corson
Clarke, Wednesday evening, in his
new comedy entitled What Did Tom
kins Do?" Clarke has been seen here
upon several previous occasions and in
What Happened to Jones" and why
Smith Left Home" displayed very
marked capability in the Broadhurs-
tian style of humor.
On the 10th and 18th Pringle's min
streis will be here and on the 18th Stu
art Robson, doubtless the best of the
comedians on the local list, will put on
oliver Goldsmith" In the new effort of
Thomas he has given Robson
a role Which seems to fit him better
than anything the latter has had in
The Henrietta" THE Meddlers' or
THE Jucklins." and the simplicity of
Goldsmith is so nearly in keeping with
the nature of Robson that the harmony
of the play and the excellence of the
with which Robson has sur
rounded himself, should make "Oliver
Goldsmith one of the most notable
productions of late years.

THE JULY REDUCTION
1t Will Leave Few Troops For the

Confer in the Matter of Legisla-
tion For Reorganization.

Washington, Nov 11.-Senator Proctor,
of the senate committee on military af-
fairs, and Adjutant General Corbin
held an Informal conference with the
president yesterday relative TO the leg.
lslation required in connection with
the proposed increase of the regular
army.
Under the existing law said Sem
ator Proctor, at the conclusion of the
conference, 1.-THE present strength of
the army, $1,000 regulars and $1,000 vol
unteers, will be reduced on the first
of July next to $1,000 regulars. This is
an absurdly small number and con-
gress will be asked by the president TO
reorganize the army upon a larger ba-
sis. 1t will be impossible to keep any
troops in the Philippines. unless the
army is increased, to say nothing of
the garrisons for forts in this country.
My own judgment is that congress will
provide a regular army of about IS. COO
or $4,000 men, giving the president dis
erection to raise the total to 10000 il
he finds it necessary I have no doubt
this legislation will be enacted at the
coming session"
