SAW TWO YEARS SERVICE.
Sergeant George +. Treher Returns
from the Philippines.

Sergeant Major George f. Treher, of the
Forty-fourth Volunteers, arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon from the Philippine
islands. where he saw nearly two years
service on the Island of Cebu. He is now

%ty-fourth Regiment was being recruited,
and the only other indianapolis men in the
regiment that he knew were Foster Shlr-
ley and Murley Roberts. He said Roberts
was coming home by way of the Suez canal.
and that Captain ketcham is now in San
Francisco. The entire service Of the Forty
fourth was on the Island of Cebu and three
other adjacent islands. The natives of Cebu
island. Mr.. Treher said. are about all sub
dued. but the soldiers have trouble with
what are termed "Grones.' These are a
class OF people who live in the mountains
and thieve and rob for a livelihood. He
said it was a question in his mind whether
these people would ever be brought under
control until they are run down one by
one and forced 10 abandon their maraud-
ing practices. The better class of citizens.

the change Of government will do more in
solving the problem OF civilizing the Fill
pinos than anything else.
The service on Cebu island was princi-
pally skirmishing after the mountaineers,
but Sergeant Treher told OF one battle that
had never been described in the newspa-
pers. Ii was on Mount Sudlon and was
fought on Jan. s. 1900. The companies that
took part in the fight were three OF the
Forty-fourth three of the Nineteenth reg

and two field pieces of Battery O, Sixth Ar
tillery. From 8 o'clock In the morning until
1890 Sergeant Treher said the Americans
took twenty-five forts from the enemy,
under a heavy fire, with comparatively no
loss. He said there were two men wounded
in the three companies of the Nineteenth
Infantry. Regarding the losses OF the other
side he said they were never able TO de-
termine. as the tilipinos have a method Of
carrying off their dead that is unknown to
the Americans. He said they found about

a conservative general freight official
said yesterday that he was sorry that'ru-
mors of rate cutting were becoming cur
rent, and he feared there was some
grounds for such reports. A few days
from now, he said. there would not be cars
to handle the business offered, and every
pound OF freight. so prosperous is the
country, could be carried at tariff rates.
"Freight-rate wars" said the official" will
only further force the capitalists owning
the railroad properties into merging their
interests. and that results in fewer men
doing the work and good men losing their
positions. The results from maintenance
of rates the last few months have been
SO satisfactory that the men who are at
the head of the numerous consultations
Will come TO the conclusion that the con-

WILL INCREASE ITS STOCK.
After Aug. q the Indiana National
VIII BE Capitalized at 81 100000.

The Indiana National Bank is TO be
"millionized" on the 9Th OF August. The
decision TO increase its capital stock from
$500. 600 to 81. 900. 600 was practically reached
last Saturday, when the call for the
stockholders meeting Aug. 6 was issued
thirty days notice being required by law.
The bank has long been known as one OF
the most substantial financial institutions
OF Indiana and the West. its surplus being
10000 and its undivided profits $3.50, 500.
The stock of the bank has not been on the
market IN years. hence its actual value
is hard TO fix. Bids on IL range from $50
to 375, but even these altitudinous figures
have proved Intellectual to call forth any
OF the precious security from its hiding
places. The holders do not care to sell.
The stock has been paying a dividend Of
u per cent. per annurn, which is small
compared with the earnings OF the insti-
tuition, but the policy has been 10 MAIN
tain a large surplus and undivided profits.
This policy has been the cause of the re-
mark being made about the Indiana Ma
tIonal that it is solid as the rock of Glib
raltar."
e. b. Porter, cashier OF the bank, said
last night that the new issue of stock
amounting to 100000 will be prorated
among the present stockholders of the
bank, about thirty in number. The I'M
divided profits of nearly 100000 will be
more than sufficient TO constitute the legal
surplus, which is 20 per cent. Of the total
capitalization.

BRUSH AFTER HOLSTERS
HE IS DEALING WITH WATKINS FOR
PURCHASE OF PLAYERS.
VIII Not Discuss
Baseball Situation.

President W. H. Watkins was noncom-
initial last night regarding the baseball
situation and would give out no Informal
ton as to what will become of the Indian
apolis club after to-day's game with Grand
Rapids. Whether the team will be moved
TO another city or will disband is some
thing known only by Watkins and
~Ruschaupt. and they would issue no state
ment last night. The attendance at the
two Grand Rapids games this week has
been no better than during the other games
played here. and there is no doubt that the
management has decided 10 pull stakes and
either leave this city or get out Of the
business for this year.
There has been talk of the possibility OF
moving the club to another city. and il has
been suggested that as Watkins managed
a team at Port Huron in years gone by he
might play his weekday games in that
city and Sunday games at Wadhams,
Mich, four miles from Port Huron, a flag
station adjoining MIR. Watkins's farm.
There is more probability, however, OF the
present Indianapolis owners getting out of
the business this year after to-day's game.
Watkins does not care to disrupt the West
ern Association by such q move, but he no
doubt feels that they have reached the
end of the line and it is time to quit. If
- an ~ OAh Jill NANI - -
very probable that some of the star play
ers now on the team will go elsewhere.
President John T.. Brush, of the Cincin-
natl club. was at the game yesterday and
sized up the work of the indianapolis men
and also that of Pitcher Bailey, of the
Grand Rapids team. He was very solicitous
about the work of Bey and remarked that
he had not been able to see Bey play this
season. When asked about the probability
of Cincinnati securing some of the Indian
apolis players he said:
I'VE are looking for material TO strength
en- the Cincinnati Club and If there is any
chance of securing good talent we will not
overlook a bet, as we need strengthening
at once"
Would you care to state if you will Sc
cure any of the Indianapolis players?" was
asked.
81 cannot answer that just now with any
degree of certainty"
How many of the Indianapolis players
do you think would strengthen the Cincin-
natl team"
THAT l cannot answer just now, but we
need now material at Cincinnati and will
get as many hrst-class players as we can.
cure, If any, will not be known until to-
morrow"
Mr.. Brush would give no on
what players he was after, but as Cincin-
natl is in need of several players at this
time IT would not be surprising if he makes
a deal with Watkins and Rusehaupt for
more than one Hoosier, Stimmel is spoken
of as a Cincinnati possibility and in case
two pitchers are selected Sutthoff will prob
ably wear a Cincinnati uniform. Bey, Fox,
Kelly and HeyGon are fast enough for the
Reds and Hogriever would add strength
to the Cincinnati club. 1t is believed that
Bey, Fox and Stimmel will go to Cincin-
natl and probably the others mentioned.

NO NEW BRIDGE.


The Board of Works formally advertised
for bids yesterday for a stone bridge across
White river at Washington street. The
board desires to secure bids on the cost OF
a stone bridge which will be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 and then see If some
arrangement for raising the necessary
money cannot be made.
City Controller Dunn says Q new bridge
is out of the question this year, as the city
is now within about S200.O 900 of Its , per
cent. constitutional debt limit and when
the temporary loans are made this summer
there will be but little margin left. He
says If the city waits until the fall taxes
come in it will be too late to build a bridge
this year. and recommends a postponement
until next year. He adds that a special
tax levy might be made this fall to build
the bridge il il is found necessary.

NAY GO TO MUNCIE.
Probability of indianapolis Team
Finishing Season in That City.

Ind, July 10.-The sporting
editor of a Muncie newspaper to-day wired
Manager Watkins, of the Indianapolis base
ball team, to know if he had an offer TO
make TO Muncie for the transfer of the
Western Association leaders to this city
for the remainder of the season. and a
prompt reply came that he was ready to
negotiate the transfer of the Indianapolis
team, consisting Of ten players. TO Muncie
and would give any committee this city
sent to Indianapolis an audience tomorrow
and close the deal promptly. Manager Wat
kins does not denote in his message who
the players are to be. Steps will likely be
taken 10 raise the enthusiasm for the deal,
as the team would be able to play Sunday
games at WestSide Park on the ball
grounds and would doubtless draw we'll.
In Muncie there are hundreds of factory
employees who are from Philadelphia and
Fittsburg and are baseball cranks.
