ty Thousand Men.
Washington, May 6.-After a care
full consideration of the situation in
the Philippines as it exists today the
administration has decided to reduce
the army in the Philippines to 10000
men. The opinion prevails here that
this number will be ample for the
present needs of the service in the
islands, and if conditions continue to
improve in the satisfactory manner
that has been shown in the past few
months the force may be reduced still
further. The expectation of the war
department is that all the volunteers
now in the Philippines will have left
the islands by the end of June. leav-
ing only the regulars on duty there.
Following the departure of volunteers
will come the regulars who were sent
to Manila in 1898, just after the out
break of hostilities. and their move
ment home will continue until the
force is reduced to approximately 49,.
600 men,

FISH WERE BITING.
Some Good Strings Brought Back From
the Lakes Yest. rday.

A great many people were out to the
lakes Sunday enjoying the fishing,
and some fine strings were brought
back. The weather conditions were
favorable and the fish were hungry
Almost everybody that cast in hook
was rewarded to greater or less de-
gree. Crappies were taken out in the
greatest number, but some fine pike
were also caught, as well as pickerel
and sunfsh. If any bass were caught,
they were put at the bottom of the
basket and the fact kept very still.
The lakes seem to be swarming
with fish this spring. as usual and
some good sport is to be anticipated
during the coming few months by
those who enjoy the kind that Isaac
Walton loved best.
The various lake resorts are prepar-
ing for rush of business during the
! summer months. The co ttages and
fleets of boats have been put in good
condition, fishing tackle overhauled,
etc. The lakes are little low, but the
May and June rains should raise them.
