"WAR DEPARTMENT PLANS TO
SEND RE-ENFORCEMENTS.
'Commander Telegraphs He Needs 30 ,
000 Men -'in the Field" at Once-
Surucou McQuestin Thinks It Will
Require Over lOOjOOO Troops.
President McKinley is reported by a
Washington correspondent to have come
to a realization of the serious situation of
the American troops in the Philippines ,
and , as the result of a telegram which is
said to have been received at the War
Department from Gen. Otis , he is con
templating sending ten regiments instead
of three , as was formerly intended. The
strongest argument , and the one that is
believed to have turned the balance , is
said to have been a dispatch recently re
ceived from Gen. Otis , in which the lat
ter explained that his dispatches had been
Jiiisunderstood. He does not think that
0,000 men , including sick , wounded , noncombatants -
combatants and garrison troops , would
> be sufficient , but that 30,000 "in the fieldr
over and above all drains for other ser-
Tic-e wjould be. When he captures a town
he wants men to garrison it without
weakening his fighting force. That is to
say , he really wants 50,000 or 00,000 men
in all.
Preparations are being made for recruiting -
cruiting many more for service at the
Philippines. Some have expressed a
dread fear that the Americans are being
.forced back to Manila by the climate , and
army oOicers are said to be in dread of
receiving news of some disaster. Anoth
er cause given for the President's alleged
change of front is the testimony of Sur
geon McQuestin , which caused so much
excitement at the War Department. Sur
geon McQuestin declares , like all other
returned officers , that the force of soldiers
necessary to subdue and hold the islands
has been greatly underestimated ; that it
will require from 100,000. to 150,000 men
to accomplish the task. Last accounts a
few weeks ago tell of the insurgents forc
ing their way between McArthur's and
Otis' forces. The enemy was at that time
'reported to have been repulsed with loss.
'Since that time no news has been made
public of what has happened to McAr.-
.thur's forces. It is evident that the in
surgents are not so thoroughly disorgan
ized as the first dispatches would indi
cate.
Should the regiments spoken of be re-
cruiled , all the regular troops now in the !
TJnited States might he sent at once to
iManila. This would give Otis about 50-
' 000 men , instead of the 35,000 which will
be at his disposal when the volunteers
shall have returned. It is suggested that
to send all the regulars to the Philippines :
would deplete the forces in the United ;
"States dangerously ; but the plan proposed
tat the War Department is to use the 10-
' 000 troops of the provisional army for
garrison purposes here , and to call on the
Governors of States for regiments of mi
litia for temporary service in case of
emergency. This would be strictly in ac
cordance with the law , and at the same
lime it would give Otis the very best kind ;
of men for his purposes.
There are 9,000 troops now at San
Francisco awaiting transportation to the
Philippines. Of these 9,000 regulars ,
K- 5,500 are raw recruits. The troops will
not be sent by organizations. A battalion [
of seasoned regulars , for instance , will go
on the same transport with a lot of un
trained recruits , so that the time preceding - re
ing the arrival at Manila may be devoted
profitably to putting the new men into :
tshape.

Monday the insurgents in force were so

The insurgents fought well , taking ad-
rantage of the woods , and were driven
flck with difficulty. Little progress was
nade until late in the afternoon , when
he native force was dislodged from a
lonse timber. The Americans lost five in
lead and twenty-five in wounded. It is
mown that the Filipino loss was very
icavy.
On effecting the capture of Perez das
Marinas Maj. Bubb's battalion , composed
300 men belonging to the Fourth in-

ANGLO-VENEZUELAN DISPUTE.
Difficulty that Nearly Caused a Rup
ture with Kncland.
Ex-President Harrison is in Paris repre
senting Venezuela at an international tri
bunal of arbitration to settle the question
which nearly caused a
rupture between Eng
land and this country
four years ago. Great
Britain and Venezuela
both claim the same
territory along the bor
der between Venezuela
and British Guiana.
Mr. Harrison is Vene
zuela's chief counsel.
1 Having made a tnor-
BEX HABHISOX. ough investigation of
all the claims involved , he has come to the
conclusion that England has rights only
in a narrow strip of laud in the eastern
part of the disputed territory. He will
contend for the Venezuelan Government
that the proper boundary line should be
near the 59th parallel of latitude. Great
Britain has claimed it to be westward of
the G3d parallel , including several exceed
ingly rich gold mines.
It will be recalled that the United States
took no stand as to what was the true
boundary between the two states mention
ed , but insisted simply that Great Britain
submit to Venezuela's demand for arbi
tration on the subject. Great Britain re
fused and President Cleveland issued the
memorable message which resulted in an
American commission of investigation to
"determine tihe true boundary. The com
mission did not have to finish its work
mb
because , after a long correspondence be
tween Lord Salisbury and Secretary of
State Richard Olney , Great Britain final
ly consented to arbitration , and by a spe
cial treaty agreed with Venezuela to ac
cept the decision of a given tribunal on the
disputed territory.
dim The land in dispute is over 60,000 square
miles in extent , greater than the areas of
New York , Connecticut and Massachu
setts combined. Venezuela lays claim to
aj the territory west of the Essequibo
river.

IN TENTS AND CELLARS.
Herman's Homeless Citizens ! "e < l and
Housed by Charity.
Five hundred homeless citizens of Her
man , Xeb. , are leading a very primitive
existence in the devastated place. At
night they crawl into tents provided bj
the good people of the State , or "burrow
into the cellars of their wretched homes
like so many rats. The picture is a moei
distressing one. At meal times they crow *
around the church , the only remaining
structure , which is used as a morgue , hos
pital , relief depot and telegraph and roj -
torial office for the correspondents. * Che
property damage is $200,000 , with prac
tically no insurance. A special police
force of thirty men was necessary to dis
courage vandalism. . The place was being
denuded even of the broken and dilapidat
ed household goods. Xo one pretends to
be able to pick ont his property. It is all
thrown into one great pile , which covers
several acres. But it is practically value
less. The twister formed from a mass of
fleecy clouds in Dane valley , half a mile
from Herman. The vapor-like maes sud
denly seemed to turn black as ink , and
with a roar like a thousand railroad en
gines traveling up a grade started down
the valley , beating into splinters every
thing it touched. It seemed to churn the
very earth.
The freaks of the great black ball were
numerous. Anderson Hopkins was blown
through the side of his barn , and the
kitchen stove , in which a fire was burning ,
followed him. The debris was ignited and
the farmer burned to death. Farmer Len
nox saw it coming and got his family into
a storm cellar , but he was carried high in
the air and hung in
up the branches of a
tree. Later a horse passed through the
air like a cannon ball and dislodged the ,
farmer. A party of traveling men took
refuge in the cellar of the hotel at the vil
lage. The hotel was swept away and a
struggling horse was suddenly deposited
in the midst of the frightened commercial
men. The animal began to rear and
plunge , and the drummers , as a matter of
self-preservatioft , threw the animal to the
ground by main force and sat upon him
until the cyclone had passed.
Maj. Burdick , being asked what the re
lief committee should send in , as indicat
ing the extent of the devastation , remark
ed : "We'need anything and everything
required by a well-regulated family , ex
cept kindling wood. " Had it not been for
the farmers of the surrounding country ,
who came into the village with supplies ,
the people would have starved. Vistors
crowded the village by the thousands , and
what little had been sent in they helped
eat. The people have not only to be fed
but clothed. Relief is being furnished by

BIG CROPS IN ALL LANDS.
This Condition Tends to Decrease the
Exports of America.
Good crops in all the world in the year
180800will probably make our export
figures for the fiscal year about to end a
ferw million dollars lees than those of the
banner year 1898. For the eleven months
of tke fiscal year 1899 'the total exports
are $1,130,629,572 , while in no earlier
ye r except 1898 did the total exports of
the eleven months reach the billion dollar
line. The reduction in exportation is en
tirely in agricultural products , and , in
deed , the total exports of farm products ,
of. agriculture are nearly $ uO,000,000 less 1
than those of last year.
In 1888 the crops in all parts of the
world except the United States were un-
ueimlly light , and as a consequence the
prices realized for farm products exported
were much higher than the average for
many years , while in 1899 , with good crops
abread , the prices which our exporters of
farm products are receiving are materially
lovrer than those of last year , though in
quantity the exports of agricultural pro
ducts are in most cases as great as those
of 1608.
One curious feature in the reduction of
our exportations relates to live cattle , in
which the exportations of the year are -25
per cent below those of the corresponding
months of 1898 , the total for eleven
months being $24,484,823 , against $32-
852,833 ftast year.
The election of a Western man for
Speaker of the House of Representatives
is regarded in Xew York as a serious blow
to the East. By thoughtful politicians it
is looked upon as the beginning of the end
of Eastern control in national affairs. Xu-
merically the East is a
stronger at the pres
ent time in Congress than it will ever be
again , in all probability. The next cen
sus , which will be taken a year from now ,
will increase the Western representation
in the lower branch of Congress at the ex
pense of the East and South and will give
the Middle and Western States more pow
er than was ever before centered in that
part _ of the country. The foreshadowed
election ofGen. . Henderson is therefore
looked upon as something of a calamity
by those whose line of vision focuses about
New York and Boston.

$100,000,000 ; Austria has an annual de

DETECT BOLD MAIL THEFT.
Wholesale Bobbery of Sacks Discov
ered by Chicago Anthorities.
What is regarded by Postoffice Inspec
tor James Stuart as one of the largesl
&ad boldest mail robberies in the history
of the Chicago postoffiro was detected
Tuesday , and the arrows of Walter Per
ter and John Xewman , drivers of mail
wagons at the postoffice , followed. Per
ter made a full confession of the crime
and implicated Xewman. After a brief
hearing before United States Commis
sioner Humphrey the men were bound
over to the Federal grand jury. Porter's
bonds were fixed at § 10,000 and Xew-
man's at $5,000 , and in lieu of bail both
men were taken to joil.
A large amount of the letters , money
i
orders and packages taken by the men
was found in their lodging house. In the
collection were letters , money orders and
checks directed to all parts of the coun
try and Europe. One check found in the
pile was for $20,000.
The fact that the robbers had been In
the employ of the Chicago postoffice since
June 1 and that all the thefts were com
mitted after that time while the prisoners
were driving their wagons makes the
scheme one of the boldest in the recollec
tion of the postoffice inspectors. The mail
was all taken in
pouches while being car
ried in the wagons from the postoffice to'
the railroad stations and back , and it has
been admitted that ihree sacks were tak *
