WASHINGTON , May 30. Secretary Alger
tonight cabled General Otln to advlao him
at once what further reinforcements he mny
need , after the arrlvaf of all the regular
trocrn to bo dispatched to the Philippines
tn replace the volunteers whose time Is out.
Secretary Alger has furnished General Otis
detailed Information nn to the plan of as
signment ff the regulars to his command ,
and hln cablegram of Inquiry calls for a
report without delay on what further Is
needed In the way of troops after all the
regtmcnUi now In contemplation far the
service arc available. Pending General
Otis' report final decision of further aug
mentation of Otis' forcei will be deferred.
The Pest tomorrow will say : General
Otlfl has Informed the War department that
ho will bo satisfied If the army under his
command In kept at n maximum of 30,000 ,
The president will give this number.
The situation In the Philippines was the
subject of an extended conference today
between the president and Adjutant General
Corbln. In view of the moro or less alarmIng -
Ing reports which have been sent to the
United States from Manila It U Important to
know that the president docs not share In
the anxiety which these dispatches have
generally created. General Otis has kept In
clo3o touch with the authorities here , and
If ho was In a position which the press re
ports eccro to Indicate It Is felt that ho
would not hesitate about making his di
lemma known. On the contrary , the advices
received from him show that ho Is not tn
need of n largely Increased army. Ho has
cabled that the press reports of the activity
of the Insurgents south of Manila have been
greatly exaggerated and he thinks that 30-
000 men will bo ample to meet all require
ments.
The present strength of the army in the
Philippines , Including volunteers who are
ptlll In the service , Is 36,000. When the
volunteers return some 21,000 regulars will
remain , or less than the number cotlmatcd
nS necessary by General Otla. The reln-
f6rccmenta now en route to Manila or undei
orders to depart will "bnt " g the le.nrorce-
ments up to the required figure , but as
there will bo considerable sickness , It : s
proposed to reduce the companies now sta
tioned In garrisons In this country to the
minimum and Increase the companies in the
Philippines to their maximum. It Is be
lieved that this arrangement will give General -
oral Otis all the men he requires , without
disarranging the army , as It Is at present
distributed. It can be stated on authority
that until General Otis asks for an addi
tional force there will bo no enlargement
qf the army , not oven to the extent of re
cruiting the 35,000 natives provided for in
the army reorganization bill , which passed
tb.o last congress ,

BULLET HOLE AS MEMENTO
A. 1' , TroirlirlilRC .Shot Through the
I.PR In nn nneouiiter Mlth Five
Drunken Men ,
As the result of nn encounter with a
group of drunken men A. P. Trowbrldge , ft
youth employed by the Burlington Railroad
company , now lies In a ward at St. Joseph's
hospital with n bullet hole In his left leg.
Daddle Harnlsh , known to have been one
of the party from which the bullet wns
flrcd , and suspected of the shooting , Is
locked up In the city jail on the charge of
Bhootjng with Intent to kill.
Who Harnlsh's associates arc the pollco
have been unable to ascertain , as they
made their escape Immediately and Harnlnh
refused to discuss the occurrence.
The trouble took place on Fifteenth
street , between Dodge and Douglas , In front
of Charles Pegau & Co.'s tinware store. A
plaimlhlc explanation of Its cause has not
been given , as Trowbrldgo's version of the
melee Is the only one the police have heard.
Trow bridge says that he and a companion
named Julius Miller were walking south on
the west side of the street Just behind a
group of five strangers going In the same
direction. Trowbrldge says he had ob
served the men ahead gesticulating and had
heard them use quarrelsome language , but
that ho gave no thought to their remarks
or actions until he tried to pass them.
H was then that one of the group at
tempted to strike Trowbrldge with a walkIng -
Ing stick and wlion he grabbed his assail
ant's arm to ward oft the blow and wrench
, the stick away one of the stranger's com
panions began to shoot. One of the bullets
struck Trowbrldge as ho reached the middle
of the read. Then his assailants scattered
and ran.
Patrolman Thomas , a block away , heard
the shots and chased the fleeing men. Har-
nlah was nearest. "Stop , " the officer shouted
to him. "I'll be d d If I do. " was Harn
lsh's reply , and Oflloer Thomas took n shot
at him. illarnlsh continued to run nnd
dodged around a post. The patrolman got
close enough to strike a blow with the butt
of his revolver and Harnlsh fell to the walk ,
he waa then placed under arrest.
Trowbrldgo was picked up nnd
carried to the station where
Dr. Spaldlng dressed the wounds. The
bullet passed through the fleshy part of
the leg just above- the calf. Trowbrldgo's
friend , Miller , could not be found after the
shooting.
Trowbrldgo Is n. brldgeman , employed in
the city by the Burlington company. His
home is York , Neb. , and he rooms at 604
Pierce street. Miller llvca at Gibson. He
Is employed by the aamo company. Hor-
nlah lives on North Twenty-third street.

eral belief , however , that it the matter of

LOUISVILLE , Ky. , May 30. Union nol-
dlers who sleep In the cemeteries of Louis-
vlllo and New Albany , Ind. , were remem
bered with flowers today. The exercises ,
whllo simple , wore Impressive. The day
was generally observed as a holiday , busi
ness houses and schools being closed. The
procession formed at the entrance to Cave
Hill cemetery nnd proceeded to the hillside ,
where sleep 2,000 soldiers who wore the
blue. At the graves a beautiful musical
service was rendered. The orator of the day
was Hon. Henry Watterson.
Mr. Watterson spoke In substance aa
follows :
The duty which draws us together , and
the day although appointed by law come
to us laden by a deeper meaning than they
have ever berne before , and the place which
witnesses our coming Invests the occasion
with Increased solemnity and significance.
Within the precincts of this dread but beau
tiful city consecrate In all our hearts and
all our homes for here lie our loved ones-
two plots of ground , with but a hillock be
tween , have been set aside to mark the restIng -
Ing place of the dead of two armies that in
life were called hostile , the army of the
union , the army of the confederacy. We
come to decorate the graves of those who
died fighting for the union. Presently others
shall come to decorate the graves of those
who died fighting for the confederacy. Yet ,
If these flower-covered mounds could open
and the brave men who Inhabit them could
rise , not as disembodied spirits , but In the
sentient flesh and blood which they wore
when they went hence , they would'rejoice
as wo do that the hopes of both have been
at last fulfilled , and that the confederacy ,
swallowed up by the union , lives ngaln In
American manhood and brotherhood , such a ?
were contemplated by the rankers of the
republic.
It Is required of no man whichever flag
he served under that he make any renunci
ation shameful to himself. Nor Is It the
part of wisdom to regret a tain that Is told.
The Issues that evoked the strife of flections
are dead Issues. The conflict , which was
thought to be irreconcilable and was cer- ,
talnly Inevitable , ended more than'"thirty
years ago. It was fought to Its bloody' Con
clusion by fearless and honest men. To
some the result was logical to others It was
disappointing to all it was final. As no
man disputes It , ret no man deplore It. Let
us rather bellevo that It was needful to
make us a nation. Xct us rather look upon
it as Into ' a mirror , scolni ; not thodcsalnitipn
or the'pasCbut the radiance of the future ,
and in the heroes of the new north and'the
new south who contested In genprous rlrnlry
up the fire-swept steep of El Caney , and
sldo by sldo re-emblazoned the national
character In the waters about Corregidor
Island and under the walls of Cavlte , let
us behold hostages for the old north and
the old south blent together In a union that
knows neither point of the compass and has
flung Its geography Into the sea.
Great as were the Issue wo have put
behind us forever , yet greater issues BtllF
rise dimly upon the view.
Who shall fathom them ? Who shall fore
cast them ? I seek not to lift the veil on
what may Ho beyond. It Is enough for mete
to know that I have a country and that my
country leads the world. I have lived to
look upon its dismembered fragments whole
again ; to see it , like the fabled bird of won
drous plumage upon the Arabian desert ,
sfowly shape itself above the flames nnd
ashes of a conflagration that threatened to
devour It ; I have watched It gradually un
fold its magnificent proportions through
alternating tracks of light nnd shade ; I have
stood In awe-struck wonder and fear lest
the glorious fabric should fade into darkness
and prove but the Insubstantial pageant of
a vision ; when , lo , out of the misty depths
of the far-away Pacific came the booming
of Dewey's guns , quickly followed by the
answering guns of Sampson nnd Bhnftcr and
Schlcy , and I said : "It Is not a dream. It
Is God's promise redeemed. With the night
of sectional confusion that Is gone , civil
strife has passed from the scene , and , In the
light of the perfect clay that Is come , the
nation finds , as the first fruit of Us new birth
of freedom , another birth of greatness and
power and renown.
At the close of his address the children
strewed blossoms over the graves and
"taps" were sounded.

A number of civic organizations also took
part. The band from the Carlisle Indian
school furnished the music. The weather
was delightful1 nnd the ceremonies were wit
nessed by an unusually large crowd.
Tlio principal speaker was Hon. D. D.
Woodmansce of Cincinnati.
Hon. D. D. Woodmansee of Cincinnati
said In part :
Many arc the lessons wo have learned
from the examples of the heroic dead who
offered up their lives on this the most his
toric battlefield of the republic. Wo rend
with thrills of gladness the story of their
deeds and valor. We learn that the private
soldier and his commanding officer fought
sldo by side with a courag-e that adds glory
to human achievements. That the fighting
soldiery from the sunny southland were
none the less courageous than the noble
band of patriots who fought to
preserve the constitution nnd the
republic. That It was a war be
tween brothers , nnd now that It la past
wo are reunited , no north , no south , no
east , no west , but a union Indivisible and
Inseparable , cemented by the blood and sac
rifices of our fallen dead. Wo are an united
people , ready to do battle together for our
country's flag.
Slnco you mot to celebrate one year ago
wo have ended a war .which wns forced upon
us after a long , rpIgh of , peace and from
Svhlch w'o could not escape 'with lloupr. 'The
whole civilized -weft-Id has been a witness1 to
the fact that our cause was as righteous as
our Victory- has 'been * triumphant. Spain
nnd her medieval tyranny have been ban
ished Xrpm he.wqstern world. That terri
tory w.lthln. tho.jfeaS ? which" Go'd had In
tended should blossom ns the rose nnd bear
Its' full stare of-'fho'burdens of civilization ,
seems tcflfft ? llgelf 'Win-the'full' ' prfdeof
Us redemption , rehdy to give forth bountiful1
tarveststOx ) sunjftUu the wants of.civilized
men. _ , The valpr " 6j , our countrymen upgn
land nnd sea revive * prdofs jthnt the sons of
the herods 'df the civil 'war are worthy of
their honored slrefc. ' The' same courage
that led wur troops over these Immortal
hills about Gettysburg likewise Inspired the
heroes who climbed the hills at El Caney.
Long after the naval battles of the civil
war have been forgotto n'thero will stand out
In gloWlng colors the signal victories of
Manila nnd Santiago. Thews events will
mark epochs in the world's history.
New made graves In various parts of this
fair land revive In us n desire to keep fresh
thd memories of those who have dared to die
for our country. The active , busy men of
the republic who lived In the COs have passed
away and H is a new generation , unfamiliar
with the conflicts of the civil war , that must
solve the problem of the future. It Is pos
sible that the battles nnd sacrifices and the
victories of the last year have been mndo
necessary that we may work out our greater
destiny. The American citizen can go
round the world today without carrying a
chart upon which to locate his home to the
Incredulous foreigner. The peoples of the
earth claim a relationship to "Uncle Sam. "
Our flag , the stars and stripes , now floats
over more continents , more hemispheres than
over before. Its bright stars In the azure
slue give new courage nnd new hope to races
of men of the wide world round. A glorious
emblem of victory and unity. Each stripe
bears a message of promise and every loyal
son of the re-public proudly stands within
the shadow of Its strength.
The question as to whether the Philippines
shall bo ours Is notthe most Important ques
tion before the Amorlcnn people. It is of
Far greater concern to us to know whether
this native land between the seas , which Is
ilready ours , this land which has been
aeautlfled nnd developed and made the abode
of the highest order of civilisation , shall bo
preserved Invlolato for generations yet to
come. Shall we allow the greed of capital
and the socialistic tendencies of other na
tions to combine against our common wel
fare ? Shall wo banish the Christian Snb-
hath nnd give ourselves up to the violation
of laws both human and divine ? I et us
bo reminded that If wo disregard the laws
of our well being. If we follow the beaten
paths that have been made by those nations
that , have gone on Into oblivion , then Indeed
will our Ignominious end bo sure and cer
tain. Then this great western world , which
wits Intended by God to be the eternal abode
of human liberty , will glvo Itself up to
anarchy and disorder. The thought of such
n future Is sufficient In Itself to bring us to
the rescue as loyally as if ourflag was fired
