MAY cURTAlL TERM OF DUTY
Sickness Among Army and Navy Men In
the Philippines.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Reports from
the Philippines indicate Il great deaf
of sickness prevailing among both
naval and army officers on duty in the
archipelago. Long terms of duty in
these islands are likely TO impair the,
most robust constitutions, according,
to the views of army and naval med
ical officers, and II limitation of dutyl
tours in the Philippines to period OF;
two years is strongly advocated. This,
practice was followed by the Spanish
authorities when they were in control,
and is looked upon as wise precedent
to continue. The growing reports of
Illness among our officers In this sta
tlon probably viii induce both army.
and naval establishments to make the
term Of service in the islands for their:
officers hut two years at Il time where,

had everything in the front of the
room, including the plate glass win

first attack on the saloons of Wich-
ita three weeks ago. There three po-
licemen met her, and she struck ut
Detective Sutton with a poker. He
showed her aside and youth struck
him in the face. A policeman struck
the youth and knocked him down.

Nation and her friends and took them
to the city prison, followed by 1000

of her mother, but the policeman was
deaf to her entreaties.

the prisoners after they reached the
jail. and is heartily condemned by the
citizens. They made him a promise
not to wreck any more saloons before
noon today.
Mrs. Evans hand was badly cut by
broken glass and her husband, who is
physician, sewed it up.
After leaving the city building Mrs.
Nation, in the coolest manner, began
n street lecture to the Immense crowd
that had surrounded the city building
saying that she expected TO begin sa-
loon wrecking again today when her
truce with the chief of police expires.
Shaking hor fist at the crowd. shc
said: "Men of Wichita, this is the
right arm of God, and is destined to
wreck every saloon in your city"

rode through the streets in it. singing
Nearer My God to Thee" and
kindred hymns. They halted in front
of the saloons they had smashed and
held prayer meetings.

estimated at between $500 and $1,000.
