EFFECTIVE FORCE OF THIRTY THOUSAND Ilecrnltlim iilsh n TIioiiNiinil'j * Week 11 Tlioiinnnil Arc 'Xow'nt Snii Frniiclneo. WASHINGTON , June -27. The president , upon his return Washington , was promptly acquainted wltji the situation In the Philippines , as exhibited In General Otis' statement cabled yesterday. He was In con ference for n time with Secretary Alger respecting the best method of carrying out General Otis' dcslro to maintain at least throughout the rainy season an effective fighting force of no less than 30,000 men In the Island. In the general's last estimate it Is noted thnt he asks for an "effective , " force of 30,000 men. This estimate will oblige the War department to secure more troops. General Otis' sick report and his casualty list-makes It evident that provision must bo made nt once to supply a shortage of about IB per cent In his force. The ofll- plals arc taking Into consideration the as surance of the medical authorities thnt no dlmlnuti6n to Ihls disability rate can be fixed during the wet season , but that the conditions may grow even worse as the season advances. Many of these men will have to bo Invalided homo to the United States , It being demonstrated , particularly In the typhoid cases , that convalescence Is rare unless Itio patient leaves the Philip pines. .Thus , the department will be under the necessity of keeping up n steady flow of recruits from the United States if General Otis' desire Is compiled wllli. The recruit ing ofllccrs' reports Indicate an ability on their part to supply 1,000 men H week , more than 'sufficient ' , It Is believed , to meet Gen eral Otis' needs In the future , while as for the present , the department has assembled 5,000 recruits at San Francisco ready for transport as soon as ships can be found.

The delay In the arrival here of the Krench cruiser Sfax , which left the waters of French GuUna June 10 , with Captain Alfred Dreyfus on board , Increases the Interest In the landing of the pilsoner. All sorts of suppositions are cur rent. For the moment attention Is centered on the putting to sea this afternoon of a lighthouse tender. Such verncls usually star.t In the. morning and- return In the evening , consequently the departure of the steamer this afternoon has given rise to the conjecture that It has gone to meet the Sfax nnd that Dreyfus will be transferred on board of It. The authorities continue to refuse to fur nish the slightest Information regarding Dreyfus to the regular army of- newspaper | men of all nationalities now gathered here. j In the meanwhile the effervescence of ycs- I torday evening has quite evaporated and j this evening the Inhabitants arc calmly promenading the principal square listening to the Marine band.

LONDON , Juno 27. The International Council of Women , which assembled yes terday In the convocation hall of Church house , Westminster , Is divided Into nvo sections , or meetings , which were nil crowded today. Great Interest Is taken In the political section , which discussed today the "Parlia mentary Enfranchisement of Women , " the vice president of the council , Mrs. May Wright Sewall of the United States , pre siding. Miss Susan R. Anthony , one of the Ameri can delegates , detailed the progress of the movement In America. The announcement j that a paper would be read In behnlf of an American woman's society opposing female | franchise was met by n storm of hisses. 'Mrs. Sewall protested against this "Intol erance , " pointing nut that no one was obliged to attend , but that It was their duy ( If present , to listen courteously to all speali 1 era. The paper was then read , punctuate ! by Ironical cheers and derisive laughter. The paper opposing female franchise was written by Mrs. Trances Scott of Massa chiisetts. In the professional section , Mmo. An toinette Stirling created some excltemen by declaring , with much emotion , that nhc thought the speakers were ton hard on the men and adding that women only reallzct the full value of n husband when the latter was last. In the legislative section Mrs. Kelly rea > a paper on the condition of tenement labnr In New York , and Mrs. Carty described the operations of the factories and shops act In Ontario and Quebec. I Mite Octavla Bates of Detroit deplored the fact that the profession of barrister was not open to women. Yet women , she pointed out , were the natural confidantes of their sisters. In'America , the speaker continued , medl- elno and the church were open to women but public opinion , she claimed , was not sufficiently advanced to favor women law yers , though the. law colleges were open to both sexes and many women , like Miss Helen Gould , who desired to manage their own estates , qualified. The intellectual ad vantages of a legal education , the speaker asserted , more than repaid the outlay. Continuing , Miss Bates said there was need of the development of a public con science , and then law would'give feminine side to marriage and divorce , "now only treated from man's standpoint. " The Countess of Bedford presided at the meeting of the Prisons and Reformatories section , where Mrs. Johnson of Washington described the success of women's reforma tories in Massachusetts , advocating a system of trades , whereby women might regain thel ; sclf-repscet. 'Mrs. ' Bonner pf Canada read , a paper on "Paternal Responsibility" and 'Mrs. Maria Weeke of the. United States one on "Educa- tjon as-a Preparation for Life. " Wontpn Slninl for I'encc. An Immense meeting attended' ' by more than 2,000 persons was held In Queen's hall this evening , the. countess of Aberdeen pre siding , for the discussion of a resolution proposed by Baroness Von Suttner of Austrii calling upon the International Council of Womeil to do : flll' In Its power to advance .the' Interests of international- arbitration ? Letters were read from Cardinal Gibbons of the United States , Cardinal Vaughn of England and Cardinal Logue of Ireland , all of whom wrote strongly In favor of the reso lution. Lady Aberdeen then Introduced Archbishop Ireland , who taid : "I eome because we Americans know Lady Aberdeen Is devoted to every great and noble work and how un sparing she Is of herself when she can do anvthlnc for God and humanity. I come also because the object of the meeting Is peace through arbitration. "Very glad am I to see this vast gather ing of women icady to use such means. It IB worthy of wonun to work for such a cause. I believe that In such matters as this they should be admitted on a footing superior to men , because they can nnd will do more. Men do not have the time and It may be not the tenderness of mind and heart which would Induce Idem to work with the unsparing efforts of women. "Public opinion holds the scepter today. This' Is an age of publicity , when rich and poor , strong nnd weak , speak out. Let us only work on public opinion In all countries and we shall succeed. What Is war bcforo battle but tlie massing togethr of engines to kill men ? What is It In battle but men dealing dtath blows while the ground drinks blood and corpses He thick as autumn leaves ? What Is it after battle but the sending of grief throughout the land which nothing can nssaugo ? Irolniiil nrrrlfft HIooilNlinl. "Should not humanity do all In Its power to stop this Bhame to humanity ? Two thou sand years after the angels sang out 'Peace on earth' there arc wars. Lot meetings be held In every nation beneath the sun and Jet men sny they nro the patriots of pa triots who seek to save the lives of men. Let Justice reign and let It go forth from tills great city of London tonight ) a mes sage to the world , that justice Is reigning mid that peace universal will be secured. " The speenh was received with great en thusiasm , 'Mrs. ' Mary Wright Sewall , vice president of the council , speaking upon tha resolution said : "When the war cloud settled down upon the United States every nno asked what would become of the national peace council. The- press did not suppress its jeers. But we considered the declaration of war a trumpet call to us to be up and doing. We felt a greater need than ever. Wo never thought war a possibility and were surprised at rur mistake. President McKlnlcy ac- cejvf 1 our appeal , Our action was not an Impeachment of our government , but an ex ample to help all governments , an exmplo which can only be obtained from women , " NAMES CENSUS SUPERVISORS Frnnk Kyle of Oscoolu to Ilnvp Clinrnr of the KlKlitli lowii Ulntrlrt.
