to do the work. They know nothing
about that sort of thing here. The
trouble with the English concerns is
that they don't know the value of a

the United States buying up England,
it is absurd. Years ago British capital
controlled the bulk of the American
railroads. Since then Great Britain has
been on the decline, and the United
States has progressed. AS natural re-

LAST VOL SAIL
War Departments Great Task
Nearly Accomplished.
WILL ALL BE HOME By JULY 4

Some of the Transports Now Coming
Across the Pacific Are sIow-Forty-
mine Thousand Regulars Left In
the Philippines.
Washington June With the de-
parture of the army transport Kilpat-
rick from Manila, announced by Gen
eral Macarthur by cable yesterday, the
last Of the volunteers whose service ex-
pires by law on June 30 are homeward
bound, and the great task imposed by
congress on the war department of
bringing 10000 volunteers across the
Pacific to San Francisco in five months
is in fair way of accomplishment. On
account of insurgent activity last win
ter it was impossible to begin the re-
duction of the force in the Philippines
early enough to carry out to the letter
the restrictions imposed by congress,
and the first of the regiments did not
embark at Manila for home until early
this year.
The Fitzpatrick is making her first
trip across the Pacific, having recently
gone out to Manila from New York aft
err being refitted. She is not fast and
is not likely to reach San Francisco be-
fore July 4. The Ohio is also a slow
chartered vessel and will hardly get in
before the Fitzpatrick. The Kintuck,
another chartered tramp, fortunately
having only single company of the
Thirty-eighth infantry aboard, has
been delayed in quarantine at Nagasa-
Xxi with a suspected case of plague and
will not be released until June 10. She
is not expected to reach Seattle, her
destination, before the middle of July.
With these exceptions, barring acct
dents, the six fine ships now speeding
across the Pacific are almost certain to
win their race against time and permit
the discharge of their soldiers from the
service before June 30.
To Withdraw Regulars.
With the Kilpatrick's departure from
Manila, 10000 regulars are left in the
Philippines, and in the next few months
this number will be reduced to 10000,
and if General Corbin recommends, as
a result of his tour of inspection of
the islands in July and August, there
may be further reduction next fall to
10000 under General Chaffee's com
mand.
The success of General Corbin in
bringing home this volunteer army Of
10000 men across the Pacific is regard
ed by the war department as a notable
achievement, demonstrating
the efficiency of the organization he has
built up in the last three years, which
could now be relied upon to make the
power Of the United States widely felt
in case of emergencies on this conti-
nent or beyond the seas.
In his supervision and control of the
whole military establishment, under the
direction of Secretary Root, the adju-
tant general has simultaneously with
the muster out of the volunteers with
in an insufficient period carried on the
recruiting to bring the regular force up
to it's new limits, equalized the various
arms to conform to new necessities for
and rearranged the details of
officers on the merit plan to meet the
new conditions.

(Benson's Plaster Is Pains MASTERY

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quickness of action md thoroughness of
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than eoer. 1t
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. It marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured quickly-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are tobe compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists (and q thousand times as many non
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few q home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fye highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is inconceivable. BE
sure to get the genuine.

 The Warwick was standing upright and filled with water, the hatches were broken in and the decks were awaSh, the lumber, of which the vessels cargo consisted was floating from the hold. The three masts and topmasts were standing. The jibboom was broken and hanging alongside. All the sails were fast to the masts but torn to ribbons. The wreck is floating in a position dangerous to, navigation and is directly in the track of steamers bound to and from the West Indies.
 The crew of the Warwick abandon ed their vessel February 27 in latitude 29.2O, longitude 75.33. They were taken from the wreck by the Italian bark Santa Anna and Marie. The Warwick was bound to Port Spain from Fernandina.
