WILL REDUCE THE ARMY
PHILIPPINE TROOPS TO BE LIN
TIED TO FORTY THOU
SAND MEN
AMPLE FOR PRESENT NEEDS
Administration Adopts This Course
as Result of Long Consideration
Regulars Remain and Vol
unteers Come Home.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-After a caro-
full consideration of the situation in the
Philippines as 1t exists today, the ad-
ministration has decided to reduce the
army in the Philippines to 10000 men.
The opinion prevails here that this num-
Der will be ample for the present needs
OF the service in the Islands If condi-
tions continue to improve in the salts
factory manner that has been shown
in the past few months the force may
be reduced still furthks. The expecta-
ton of the war department Is that all
the volunteers now In the Philippines
will have left the Islands by the end of
June, leaving only the regulars on
DUTY there. Following the departure. of
volunteers will come the regulars. who
were sent to Manila in 1858, just after
the outbreak of hostaities and their
movement home will continue until the
force is reduced to approximately 10000
men.

KANSAS CITY WAS DRY
SALOONS CLOSED AND DEALERS
WE'RE BUSY WITH PETITIONS.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 5.-Saloons
In Kansas City were closed tight today,
the first time in six years. But one ar
rest for failure to respect Mayor Reeds
order was made, and one Of the quietest
days for a long time was the result. Sa-
loonkeepers spent an active day, how
ever, circulating petitions to be presented
to the mayor and police commissioners
giving their side of the question and re-
questing a resumption of the old regime.
A mass meeting under the auspices Of
the Law Enforcement league, attended
by 500 men, was held, and strong resolu-
lions commencing the mayor and police
commissioners for their action were
adopted. 1t was determined to keep up
the agitation for Sunday closing, and d
committee was appointed to secure evil
dence against saloonkeepers who may
fail to observe the law.

Large Crowds, However, Visit PAN
American Exposition Yesterday.
RUFFALOI, N. Y, May 5.-The first
Sunday Of the Pan-American exposition's
official existence brought out large
sized crowd.
Strolling peacefully along the terraces
end esplanades, or sitting within hear
ing of the sacred band concert on the
plaza and an uninterrupted saunter on
the Midway were the few indulgences, of
the Sunday sightseers. The gates were
open but the buildings were closed.
Guards stood by the doors of the great
exhibit buildings and told the visitors
that no one would be allowed to en-
ter. On the Midway two of the shows
opened their doors this afternoon and
their criers announced that they were
ready for business. They were prompt
ly notified by the exposition police to
close their, shows. They did so under
protest and a test case will be tried to
decide whether the Midway concession
aries have a right to give their eThibi-
ton on Sunday. The claim set up bv
the concessionaries is that their cont.rcts
specify that they shall be allowed to
run every day the exposition grounds
are open to the public.

SAN ANTONIO AND IT'S HISTORIC ENVIRONMENTS
AS SEEN TODAY BY A ROCK ISLANDER.

San Antonio, Tex, March 5.-Three
hundred and ten years ago little
band of franciscan monks built three
missions in what was then teeming
wilderness. The site chosen was far
removed from the civilization of the
time, but the spot was as fair as the
garden of the gods. Through this
charming country flowed beautiful
river which the monks named the
San Antonio, and on it's banks they
built their white walled monasteries.
The beauty of the sunny skies, the
balmy atmosphere, the pictured SUM-
sets and the air of sweet contentment
that fingered everywhere gave fame
to the region and ere long beautiful
city sprang into being around the
mission houses of the monks. From
the wealthy cities of old Mexico came
the descendants of Spanish dons. Adj
venturous traders from New Orleans
and the south made their way west
ward and located here until at length
the name of San Antonio was known
throughout the middle states and on
the Atlantic coast as a dream city
in an enchanted country. What is
now the state of Texas was then Mex
lean territory, and in the early years
of eighteen hundred Americans in
large numbers settled hereabout. took
up the hardy life of pioneers and pre-
pared to make the country their
home.
AS early as 1880 there is said to
have been 10, 900 to 15. 900 Americans
in this territory. History relates the
early dreams of these settlers to make
little republic of Texas; how. un-
der the leadership of sucn intrepid
men as Bowie Crockett. Sam Houstons-

Democrats Active.

Rock Island democrats have another
week in which to determine who,
from the list discussed, shall make the
strongest candidate for the mayor
atty, the city-township convention
being called for next Saturday even
ing at Turner hall. The caucuses are
to be held neat Tuesday evening,
when aldermanic winners will be
chosen and delegates to the conven-
ton selected.
The candidate for mayor will doubt
less be picked from the following: L.
j. Medill, c. B. Marshall, f. c.
Berry, w. c Maucker, w. B. Nc
Intyre, James Price, A. ID. Huesing
Dan Corken, G. w. A ter, j. w. Law
head. Ira Karr and V. NJ. Banding.
All are prominent and popular men
with large cor stituencies, and any one
from the number would be a strength
to the democratic municipal ticket
that is expected will carry the election
by nice maj ority.
Interest in the mayoralty is grow
ing daily in the democratic ranks,
which are in better shape this spring
than for years to enter the campaign.
Harmony prevails in the party
throughout the city and all will labor
for a common end-the nomination
and election of man who shall give
the city clean and honest admins
tration. The remainder of the ticket
can be depended upon to be equally
satisfactory.

the enemies of Texan independence
and how these leaders earned a name
for bravery that will always be con-
spicuous in the story of the great
southwest. Still standing here in
San Antonio is the historic Alamo,
where nearly two hundred patriot
Americans were slaughtered by the
Mexican general. Santa Ana, and his
followers and from which rose the
cry Remember the Alamo" the cry
that rang in the ears of Santa Ana
when he met defeat at the battle of the
San Jacinto. The story of the stub
born resistance of these besieged
Texans against an overwhelming force
how they fought the enemy hand
to hand with knives fashioned by the
immortal Bowie, and how the Mexi-
cans were victorious only when the
last American was dead, has forever
consecrated the memory of the heroes
of the Alamo.
Santa Ana and his troops entered
San Antonio. Feb. %, 1886. There
were 1S3 Americans in the Alamo,
which was almost Immediately bonn
barded by the Mexican army of 4 900
men. For nearly two weeks this lit
tie band of defiant heroes withstood
the siege. They had hourly expected
but the aid that HAD
been promised did not come.
On Saturday, March 5. the Mexi-
cans succeeded in getting a cannon
close to the outside wall, but they
could not use it, for all that day the
fearless Capt. Crockett stood on the
roof of the Alamo and as fast as the
Mexican gunners advanced to the cam
non he shot them down. a group of
Americans stood back of bags of
dirt just behind him loading rihe- and
passing them to him as fast as he could
hre them. This strange feat of arms
