Washington. Feb. 14.-According to
the present plans of the war department
the army is to be recruited to its full
authorized strength of 100000 men. The
regular army now consists of about 67,-
600 men, including the troops in the
Philippines, so that the new enlistments
are limited to about $4,000 men. 1t is
realized by the officials that it will take
long time to secure so many men, but
the full machinery of the army is being
exerted in that direction, with gratifying
results. Over 400 recruits were obtained
last week, and il is expected that much
better progress will be made when all
the recruiting agencies are in full opera

right and left. Cigar eases. mirrors and
pictures were smashed, and those that
could not be reached with axes were shot
full of holes. The mahogany bar was
hacked to splinters, and all the bottles
and barrels were smashed. This was but
the work of few minutes.
The Schmidts ran to the front door and
attempted TO defend their property. Rev.
Charles Lowther prevented Charles
Schmidt from entering the place by strik-

in the auditors department told General
Gomez last March that there were irreg-
ularities in the matter of allowing dupli-
cate vouchers. The friends Of General
Gomez asser<~that he explained the con-
dition of things to the military authori-

the credit attaching to the exposure of
the frauds. This is cited as a strong ar
gument in favor of his presidential can
