McAllen, Tex, Aug. General J. F.
Organ returned to camp this after
neon with Squadron A, after five
days hike, which was most success
full hike from the viewpoint Of practi-
cal experience. The troopers learned
something about wartime in bad
weather, and their horses were up to
their withers in mud nearly all the
way. The outfit had four motor trucks
and two automobiles. but on the second

of the sea of mud. The soldiers were
compelled to lend a hand TO every
truck that was mired so that the line
of march might be open.
On Thursday camp was struck at
Stering's ranch, twenty miles from
here. On Friday the squadron made
five miles, to La Gloria ranch, and
liked thirty miles on Saturday, to
foung's ranch.
To-day two squadrons Of the LIST
Cavalry started on their five-day hike
ard the Sd Squadron leaves in the
morning. The men of Squadron A say
that the food was good and that there
was plenty of it, but they were hungry
as hunters on their return, and all who
could get off made rush for McAlien
for a square meal.

Unofficial Reports Indicate
Big Increase in Next
Seven Years.
DESIGN SUBMARINES
FOR OCEAN CRUISES
Other Types to Exceed Foreign
Vessels In Gun Power-Speed
Not Factor in Most Glasses.

Toxic, July 17.--It is too early to
indicate with certainty the programme
to be followed by the Japanese navy
but, according to the press, naval lead
ers of the Empire will insist in the
next Diet upon an important building
policy. For some years the impress
sion has been growing in Japan that
the navy has been dropping behind
that it consists of too many old UNITS
and too few modern, first-class hghting
ships.
Five modern superdresdnought are
either built or building, and 1t IS eN-
pected that the navy will request au-
thority to build three more and two new
battle cruisers within the next seven
years. This will not satisfy the more
ardent expansionists, but it is believed
that il is all the Diet can be induced
TO ratify.
This would give Japan first line
feet Of eight superdreadnoughts and
six powerful battle-cruisers.
The naval editor of the Jill writes
that the battleships may not, IN speed,
come up to the Queen Elizabeth, but
that they will be ten per cent superior
in gun power
The new battle-cruisers will slightly
surpass in speed the German linden
burg, but will fall behind the projected
American battle-cruisers. though great
err in gun power. The light cruisers
will perhaps be peerless, as they are
TO exceed the British class Of cruis-
ers both in speed and gun. Destroyers
will be of the type of the IRA kaze. now
in commission. As for submarines
they are to include types that can make
a continuous sea voyage Of four thou
sand miles, or even more.

NICHOLS SLAYER
ESCAPES DEATH
Onne Talas, Convicted as
Accessory, Has Sentence
COMMITTED by Whitman.


Albany. Aug. THE death sentence
imposed upon Onne Talas, convicted IN
New York last November for being
implicated in the murder Of his en-
ployer. Mrs. Austin A. Nichols, was
committed to life Imprisonment to-day
BIZ Governor Whitman. The Governor
acted on the recommendation OF the
Judges of the Court of Appeals, who
affirmed the judgment of conviction.
Talas was induced by Arthur wal
dena, a former servant, to let MN
and two other men. known as Eddie
and the "Wop," into Mrs. Nichols's
house az night. The three tied Talas's
hands and went upstairs and, after
strangling Mrs. Nichols to death,
robbed her of her jewels.
Talas confessed that Waldena told
him that he would rob the house and
then divide the plumber with him. On,,
der the law Governor Whitman SAID
there was no alternative but TO con-
vict Talas Of murder In the hrst de-
gree, but that he had been advised by
the members Of the Court Of Appeals
that the case was one where the Gov
ernor might very well exercise ms
power Of commutation.
"Talas. boy Of twenty-five said
the Governor, was born in Finland.
lie came 20 this country when ne was
about seventeen years Of age. His rec
ord up 10 the time of his conviction
had been good, and his participation in
the crime probably was due to his
youth and ignorance Of the probable
consequences, both to Mrs. Nichols and
himself. None of the other persons
implicated in the murder has been
aDprehended"

New York Navy Yard, it was learned
yesterday.
Two separate free were discovered

acctylene gas. Officers say they be
lieve" these explanations account for
the two accidents, but they are not
prepared 70 declare with certainty that
their theories are correct. The fire
aboard the Maine is still matter Of
wide discussion among officers at the
yard, none of them yet being willing
to advance an opinion as 10 its origin.
There has been a general tightening
OF the already stringent rules against
civilian visitors at the yard since the
fires. All officers, sailors and civilian
workmen are now supplied with badges,
without which it is difficult for them
TO pass the outer gate of the reserva-
ton. and impossible to board one of

Pledge of Liberty.
REPUBLICANS FAIL
TO SIGN AGREEMENT
But Senators Will Not Filibuster
and Its Final Passage Is
Expected.
fEron NE rribuna Baresn. J

Washington, Aug. 7.--Containing the
Jones preamble, the Philippines bin
was reported TO the Senate to-day By
.he conferrees. The two Republican
cCnferrees- Senators Lippitt Of Rhode
Island. and Towner. OF Iowa-declinsd
70 sign the report because Of the pre-.
amble, but they admitted that the leg
islative part Of the bill was compars-
lively unobjectionable.
Senator Lippitt said tonight that the
objections to the measure, even in is
present form. would be pointed out on
the floor, but that in all probability the
bill would be forced through BY the
Democrats, as no flibuster was planned
by the Republicans.
No time is fixed in the bill FOR the
independence Of the islands, though
the intention ultimately TO gran,
sovereignty is recognized in the
words at is the purpose of the people
Of the United States 20 withdraw their
sovereignty over the Philippine Islands
and to recognize their independence az

established therein"

This is the language which passed
the House two years ago. but died
when it reached the Senate, and IL Is
the same as passed the House on the
night of May / after the New York

publicans, had killed the Clarke
amendment.

the conferrees have made in the Dill
passed by the House, II viii be neees.
sary for both houses 70 vote approval
of the present bill before IL can be
sent TO the President for signature,
IL was pointed out tonight that the
present bill, except the preamble,
which is from the pen OF Chairman
Jones of the House Committee, is'virt-
ually the same as that reported By the
Senate Philippines Committee early IN
the session, before Senator Clarke got
in his work. The measure az that time
was known as the Hitchcock bill, but
the Clarke amendment, which promised
independence in from two 10 nye
years, in the discretion Of the Presi-
dent. became the most important feat
ure of the measure as II went 10 the
House.
For Filipino Legislature.
As now drafted the bill provides for
a Filipino Senate as well as House IN
the Legislature, and for charging the
electorate TO about 100000 men, in
stead of 100000, as at present. a new
election will be held in September, a.
which the present electorate will
choose a new Senate to sit with the
present House, which was elected in
June After this election the ne"
electorate will be given the ballot.
Besides objecting 20 the Language OF
the preamble, Senator Lippitt objects
strongly 70 a provision which, he says,
would disfranchise every American on
the islands.
