TROOPS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
- =
to Be Brought Home and
Those to Go.

The movement of troops to the Philip
pines, as announced in orders last year,
was recently completed, except that of the
14th Cavalry from Arizona to the Philip
pine Islands. General Davis recently rec
commended a reduction in the garrison Of
the Philippines Of two regiments of cavalry
and two of infantry, and on this account
the movement of the 14th Cavalry. was
suspended. The matter has been consid-
cred by the general staff, and in view Of
the fact that the new regiments, which
were added to the army when the reorgani-
cation of 1901 took place. will be seriously
depleted by the discharge Of large numbers
Of men whose enlistments began with the
organization of those regiments. 1t has
been decided to bring them home and dis
charge the men in the United States.
If this course Is not pursued it will be
necessary to send out several thousand re-
cruits with comparatively little training,
and they in turn would come home in the
near future by reason of the regiments to
which they would be assigned completing
their tour in the Philippine Islands.
The regiments which are to come home
from the Philippines and the order in which
they will probably sail are the 18th Caval-
ry. the 9th, 28th and Both Infantry and
the 18th Cavalry. The 18th Infantry will
be the next regiment to come home from
the Philippines. following soon after the
completion of movements Of other regi-
ments The 14th Cavalry will sail as soon
as a transport can be put in commission
and made ready to depart from San Fran
cisco, probably in about two weeks. The
movement Will be arranged 80 as to utilize
the monthly sailing Of transports to and
from the Philippines, as far as practicable
There is abundant accommodation on these
transports for the enlisted force, but owing
to the use of these vessels for casual off,
GERS and members Of the Philippine civil
government, the cabin space is generally
fully occupied.
The War Department is having consider
able difficulty in providing quarters for the
various regiments at this time owing to
the delay in construction which seems to
have beer. quite general throughout the
country. For this reason the proposed re-
duction In the Philippine garrison and an
Increase of regiments In the United States
will be made effective toward the end Of
the present movement Of troops in the ex-
pectation that a number of barracks ap-
preaching completion may be finished in
time for occupancy by those which may
arrive after January 1.
The regiments next for duty in the Phil
ippine Islands are the I'd Cavalry, 7th, 9Th,
I'd. 10Th and 18th Infantry. Owing to the
fact that one-half Of the 9th Infantry was
assigned to duty In Alaska upon return to
this country and the companies are still
for the present. The movement to and
from the Philippines is designed to be ac-
complished between September / and March
l. The general order covering these move
ments. Is now In course of preparation by
the general stan. and the 7th ODD and Goth
infantry will be held in readiness to sail
during the autumn and winter.

BELIEVES HUSBAND DEAD.
Mrs. Healy Exhibits Letter Which
Indicates Suicide.

John T. Healy, the timekeeper in the en-
ploy Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, who disappeared from his home in
Southwest Washington ten days ago, as
heretofore published in The Star, has not
yet returned His wife called at police
headquarters last night and again inter-
viewed Captain Boardman about her hus-
band, expressing the belief that his body
Is in the river. She requested that the river
be dragged. The police are of a different
opinion. They say the man left home once
before and returned, and they believe he
will return this time. On the occasion of
his first disappearance he went to Balt-
more, where he met with street accident.
A letter received by his father-tn-law Mr..
T. N. Cooney of 1902 list street southwest.
the day Of the recent disappearance of
Healy shows that the latter went to Balti-
more that day. He said in the letter to his
father-in-law: "Old man, please read this
to my sons John and Maurice: My dear
boys, do not drink whisky. Be kind and
good to your mother, and love your grand
father and mother, because I loved them.
Love your uncles and aunts; they will treat
you right.
Poor papa could not stand the strain
and had to get rid of himself. But. boys.
be men and do not allow anyone to lead
you astray, and see that mamma gets the
insurance on my life.
Your father, ]. HEALY."
The letter Is In the handwriting OF the
missing man. Mrs. Healy turned 1t over
to Captain Boardman with the request that
the river be dragged in an effort to locate
his body. There was no suggestion in the
letter that the missing man had jumped
overheard, and Captain Boardman could
not see his way clear to order out a crew
Of the police boat.
Healy also wrote letter to a fellow
workman telling him that he was tired Of
life and that he would put an end to his
existence. With the exception of the two
letters named nothing has been heard Of
the missing man. Captain Boardman thinks
the body would have been found by this
time had the man drowned himself.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
VIM. Fox Tried to Hang Himself in a
Cell


William Fox, colored, twenty-five years
old. while confined in cell at the fourth
precinct, about 2 o'clock this morning made
an unsuccessful attempt at suicide by hang
Ing.
Fox, about midnight, while under the In
nuence of liquor. in South Washington,
slashed Isaac johnson, colored, twenty
nine years of age. on the face with a razor,
mistaking him for another man with whom
he had had trouble earlier in the night.
Policeman Howard, who responded to
Johnsons call for help, sent the injured
man to the Emergency Hospital. Fox, who
was arrested at the same time, was intoxi-
Gated and was placed in a cell with two
other men on arriving at the station house.
About 2 o'clock this morning one of the
inmates in the cell was awakened by hear
ing a noise. In the dim light he saw that
Fox, who was standing on the bench in his
CELL had something fastened around his
neck, one end of which was attached to the
crossbar at the top of the door. He spoke
hurriedly to Fox, demanding to know what
he was doing. The latter, however, made
no reply, but stepped off into space. The
inmate Of the cell on seeing Fox's rash act
called for help, and several policemen hast
ened to the cell room. Fox's weight proved
to be too much for what he had fastened
around his neck, and 1T gave away under
the strain, throwing him heavily to the
cement floor, causing him to lapse into a
state of insensibility. The ambulance was
summoned from the Emergency Hospital.
but before its arrival the policemen had
succeeded in reviving the man. 1t was
found on examination that he had tied his
suspenders and handkerchief together and
fastened them around his neck, but fortu-
nately, they gave away with his weight
The physician in charge of the ambulance
on arriving at the station found that the
man was not in need of medical treatment
and returned to the hospital
Fox was transferred to the Police Court
today, where a charge of assault with a
dangerous weapon was filed against him.
Johnson was unable, because of his wound
to appear in court, and preliminary hearing
in the case was postponed until tomorrow
