TAFT "A V0RS A BUDGET
ADVOCATES THIS SYSTEM TO CUT
DOWN EXPENSES.
Believes in Quick Completion of the Pa
mama Canal and Expanding the
American Navy.

NEW YORK. Feb 24.-President
Taft came out fatty in favor of a budget
system by which the governments finan-
ces may be regulated, in a speech which
he delivered Wednesday night before the
board Of trade at Newark, \. J. The
President talked of waste in the vari-
Gus departments of the government and
suggested that the way to curb it is
to provide a system such as is in vogue
in other countries where !; schedule of
expenditures is made up with reference
to the income.
The President touched broadly upon
other phases of government policy. add
vocatlng among other things. the quick
completion of the Panama canal to be
paid for by the issue of bonds, the push
ing OF river improvements and the build
ing up Of the army and navy.
Like his predecessor. President Taft
sees the necessity of expanding the navy
and he advocates the construction of at
least two battleships Il year while the
Panama canal is being rushed to com
pletion.
He believes. he said. that it is policy
to add to the naval strength until the
canal is finished. so as to provide ample
protection to the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts After the canal is built. he says,
the country can then afford to halt
in its strengthening of the navy, but
not until then.

American. and formerly was member
of the Thirty-third infantry, u. S. A.
The governments victory appears 10

despair the insurgents charged three
times at bridge over the TIpitaba

with the fury of despair, but were I'M
able to force Il passage of the river, and
retired in disorder, abandoning 600 rifles,
$1,000 cartridges and all baggage, and
leaving the wounded upon the field.
The whereabouts Of Gen. Chamorru
the leader of the insurgents in the recent
battle are not known here.
The report of the government victory
was received with great rejoicing here,
and the celebration over the news con
tinues The story Of the lighting WAS
told i'll a dispatch from Gen. RivaS, who
was in command of the troops that at
tackled the insurgents. According To
Rivas. the battle began early on Tues
day, the government forces assuming
the offensive by an attack on Tisrna.
which had been occupied by the insur-
gents who had mounted two Maxim
guns. These guns, commanded 10y Capt.
Fowler. did great execution among the
loyal troops and for seven hours Gen.
Chamorro had the advantage. At I'm
opportIne moment. Rivas was reinforced
by the men under Chavarris. Soon aft
erward Gen. Masquez and Gen. Aguiiar
came to the support Of the government
lines. Aguilar brought artillery, and
poured a mercieSs fire into the ranks of
the insurgent infantry.
At SundOwn. the rebels Withdrew
toward Tipitapa. leaving their dead upon
the field. The fighting was the most Sc

NERVOUS SOLDIERS.
Neurasthenia Disturbingly Prevalent IN
the German Army.

Considerable uneasiness is felt in Ger
man military circles because of Stats
tics respecting the increase Of nervous
disorders among the soldiers of the Ger
man army. These figures show that
neurasthenia is three and a half times
more prevalent than it was ten years
ago. Those afflicted are almost entire
~ among the conscripts and this ac-
counts for the appalling increase OF sui
eide among them. One other nervous
trouble. hysteria, is also three times as
common as it was in 1900. Military
men and those interested in affairs of
state point out that if this is the con-
dition Of things in time of peace 1t is
only natural to expect that should war
begin the victims of these nervous all
ments would become more numerous and
constitute a serious problem OF weak
ness. 1t is also contended that TT least
some of the sufferers may have been af-
Hicted before they joined the army. But
so, why are they passed by the doc
tors Generally the increase in nervous
disorders i'll the army is accredited to
the conditions of life in that organlza-
ton and to the brutal treatment to
which the recruits are too often sub
jected

To Make Last Appeal.
The trainmen and conductors are de-
slrOus of hearing from as many of the
railroads as possible before rderng any
strike, and Ii is possible that when the
grand councils of the two orders meet
III Cleveland the delegates may be pre-
pared to deal simultaneously with a ma
jority of thirty-two roads. If the men
on these roads vote to strike, the grand
councils will make a final effort to adj
just the demands with the railroads.
Failing in that, the railroad employees
say that a strike is almost inevitable.
Although the employees here take Il
gloomy look at the situation, the rail
road officials declare that they look for
no serious trouble.

was made by President Lee or the
