MORE TROOPS For MANILA.
Decision Il, Increase The Number.
Some Army officers Expressed
Themselves 40 GratiHed.

Manila, Aug. 26.--In the city OF
Manila there are now less than 1000
effective soldiers, and II has been de-
cided to increase this number by four
companies of infantry. The official
reason for the increase is that the
6uard duty is too heavy for the pres
ent force. AS a matter Of fact how
ever, there is feeling that although
there is no apparent prospect Of trou-
BILE, nevertheless in the event Of an
uprising in the future, such as Is al
ways possible among the Malays, 1t
would be better to have sufficient
body Of troops available for such al
emergency.
General Chaffee says he consideSs
the city Of Manila TO be perfectly or
cerly, and he can see no prospect Of
an uprising. Commissioner Wright
thinks the people extremely peace
eble." He is satisfied that, although
among a certain class there is some
discomfort on account of the land tax
which is not yet understood, this class
Is not likely to foment trouble.
Many army officers express them
selves as gratified at the increase in
the military force. They think that,
With the military guard withdrawn
from the prison, another uprising
there might result in the release of
some 1900 prisoners. This possibil.
ity is regarded as a menace to the
city by those who take that view of
The case, as they regard the white
guard as insufficient.
Civil officials look upon this contin,
gency as unlikely, inasmuch as the
600 white police could mobilize at the
prison before any Of the prisoners
could escape and become dispersed
throughout the disaffected district.

TRIALS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Death Sentences For Aiding the
Enemy COMMITTED.

Washington, Aug. 26.-The war de-
partment has received q number Of
orders from the division of the Phil.
ippines containing facts regarding
the trials of different persons charg-
ed with various crimes.
The most important is the trial Of
Brix Haelterman, Belgian, who was
charged with relieving the enemy
with money in violation of the laws
Of war;" He was found guilty on
rearly every charge and was sen.
fenced to death. The case was re.
viewed by General Macarthur, who
said that "the sentence Is wholly war
ranted by the evidence, but the rapid
RAISING away Of the condition of war
moves the department commander to
recommend that the sentence be com.
muted," and this was done by fixing
the sentence at Imprisonment for is
years.
Private John English, Company II,
Fortieth volunteer infantry, was con-
Nicted in Mindanao of desertion and
found guilty and sentenced to death.
General Kobbe, in reviewing this case,
says the court martial tried four
other. cases, two of them involving
Geath sentence, and he severely criti
rises the methods charging ross care
lcssness and neglect Of duty. He
commutes the sentence to IL years
Imprisonment.

TRIED TO END STRIKE,
Senator Hanna Said to Have Ar.
ranged Conference In New York.

Cleveland, Aug. 26.-Up to the time
that Senator Hanna departed with his
FAMILY for a trip up the lakes, several
days ago, 1t was persistently rumored
that he was deeply and directly inter-
osted in an attempt to settle the strike
OF the steel workers. At first the SEN
ator denied being engaged in any at
tempt to bring about an adjustment of
the difficulty, asserting that he had
not been asked by either side to par
ticipate. That may have been true
at that time.
A Cleveland man, who claims to
know, says, however, that the senator
devoted considerable time and effort
in an attempt to restore harmony be-
tween the steel trust and the strik.

ing. In several of the cases there was
no identification at all of the parties
and there was but little proof against
any but the five boys, who
WERE IDENTIFIED
as having thrown missiles and INDUCED
in the noisemaking.
None of them were sentenced, the
mayor reserving that until Monday to
give himself time to figure up the costs
and divide them up properly.
The man that was most wanted and
who would have likely received a Sc

crowbar through the screen door. The
Cotners insisted that his name was

nothing of the making of American
cardinals said Cardinal Gibbons as

he had heard the report that at least

The cardinal repeated his recently
published utterance advising the Irish
not to leave their native land to come
to America, and then said:
II had the great pleasure of having
three audiences with the pope. The
last one was on June 20. He is GER
