Many Conferences Held on Hay
PauncefOte Treaty.

Congressional calls at the State Depart
ment are being resumed. In addition to
ex-senator Wolcott Senator Stewart called
to see Secretary Hay this morning, and
Representative Hopkins was also on the
callers list. Very few senators have failed
up to this point to communicate their views
to the State Department respecting the
lines upon which the new Hay-Pauncefote
treaty should be drawn, and the depart
ment Is satisfied that it has now succeeded
in framing a convention that will meet
with the complete acquiescence of the SEN
atorial leaders. This is true even of the
democratic contingent. so far as all but the
extreme and irreconcilable element is con-
cerned, and the only danger now appre-
hended In the ratification of the treaty is
diversion of support from the government
to amendments which may be offered by
persons who have in principle already ac-
cepted the treaty itself.

Reasons Why the Butler Incident

LONDON, October 25.-The leaders of the

! cabled to the United States by a news
| agency to consider the advisability of is
| suing manifesto to the country calling on
| the government to resign or call a special
session of parliament to discuss the Boer
war, the dismissal of Gen. Butler and other
, matters. So far as stirring up an agitation
on the subject of Gen. Butler, it is undeni-
able that the liberal leaders concede that
the war office acted correctly in retiring
Gen. Butler, though this does not prevent
criticism of that officers previous appoint
ment to the command of the 1st Army
Corps.
The efforts made by several of the London
daily newspapers to create a feeling in Gen.
Buffers favor are patiently due to their de-
sire to make party capital, as these papers,
previous to the action of the war office,
could scarcely say anything bad enough
about the general, They have succeeded.
however, in working up certain amount of
popular enthusiasm, which finds vent in
music hall demonstrations wherever Gen.
Buffers name is mentioned.
Sympathy Meeting Proposed.
A great meeting of sympathy in Hyde
Park is now under consideration, and there
is talk of the presentation to the general
of sword of honor, as national tribute.
In the west of England, where Gen. Buffers
home is situated, the feeling runs high.
Frequent meetings have been held to de-
nounce the governments action.
A representative of the Associated Press
learns that Gen. Butler, first of all, after
delivering the speech which resulted in his
retirement, received personal letter from
King Edward, disappearing of his utter
ances and clearly intimating that his maj
esty would be glad if Gen. Butler would re-
sign Then the war secretary, Mr.. Brodrick,
summoned Gen. Butler and point blank,
demanded his resignation. 1t was a stormy
interview, ending in Gen. Buffers fiat re-
fusal to resign 1t is said that the general
even then did not believe that the war office
would venture to retire him. After the in
terview Mr.. Brodrick went straight to King
Edward, in Scotland, and the result of his
visit was the action which has now so STIR

MANILA, October 25.-The people Of the
Island of Samar have been notified to con-
centrate in the towns on pain of being con-
sidered public enemies and outlaws and

Intense feeling exists among the troops

1t develops that Biliran Island, north of
the Island of Leyte, has been hotbed of
insurrection. Every civil official there has
been aiding the insurgents OF Samar IN
every way. They have landed heavy car
goes of rice and have received nsmp in
exchange.

Regiments to Go.
Having reached decision to at least
temporarily check the natural reduction
which Is going on and which would go on
at an Increased rate in the United States
army in the Philippines as a consequence
of the expiration of the terms of enlist
ment of number of men, Secretary Root
has now before him the details OF plan
for replacing these men from the forces
now in the United States. While final
decision as to the particular organizations
to exchange has not yet been reached, 1t is
in contemplation to withdraw from the
Philippines the 4th, 18th, 10th, 22d, 25d,
21st and 18th Infantry, these organizations
to return to the United States In the order
in which they went out to the islands Be-
fore leaving the Philippines there will be
many changes in these organizations, how
ever, for it is the intention to exchange
into them from the other regiments in the
Philippines the men whose terms Of enlist
ment are about to expire.
To take the place of returning troops the
department will send out the 10Th, 11th and
18th Cavalry and the 9th. 2Sth and 18th
Infantry. The cavalry organizations will
be brought up to the maximum strength by
recruitment before they go out, while the
infantry regiments will be swelled to the
exceptional figure of 1,500 men each. In
addition to this at least 1000 men will be
recruited and sent out in battalion orsani-
cations for attachment to depleted regi-
ments in the Philippines. The quarter
masters department is making every prep
aration to discharge this heavy transporta-
ton problem, and it is believed that the
movement can begin within month after
the orders go out.
The following orders for the movement of
troops in the Philippines were announced
at the War Department today: The Goth,
