WASHINGTON , Aug. 15. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Plans wore completed today for the
enlistment ot five additional regiments to
Co known ns the Thirty-eighth , Thirty-
ninth , Fortieth , Forty-first and Forty-second
Infantry , which arc to be recruited for service -
ice In the Philippines should the forces at
present designated for the eastern service
prove Insuniclont to put down the Insurrec
tion.
It Is understood that the colonels for three
of these reglmontH have been selected and
that the names of two officers are now under
discussion for the remaining regiments.
Governors ofstates have been called upon
to Indicate those who are best fitted of
those In the state mllltla to take the posi
tions of rank under the coloiicls and as soon
an thcso returns are made the rosters of
officers will bo made up.
It Is said that officers 1-iivlng had service
In the Philippines will be selected over
Y those having seen service In either Cuba or
Porto Jllco , on the theory that they will to
but taking up work where they left off when
mustered out with their regiments. It Is no
secret at the War department that states
[ having been represented In the Philippine
service by volunteers will bo called upon to
furnish a largo proportion of the ofllcers of
the now provisional regiments which have
been , decided upon for emergency purports ,
to bo held In readiness In case they are
needed In the oast. .
ii Will Probably Get Four.
Nebraska under these conditions cannot
fall to receive os Its quota less than four
olllcore , probably a major , a captain and two
lieutenants , and should Governor Poynter's
recommendations bo at all In keeping with
the splendid achievements of the First Ne
braska , the Prairie state might receive six
designations ot line and staff.
It has been determined to continue re
cruiting for these new regiments at stations
now occupied by ten regiments In this coun
try. The only exception now being consid
ered arc abandonment of the rendezvous at
Fort MrPhqrson. Ga. , .Vancouver .Barracks ,
Wash. , laid Fort Sam Houston , Tex. Re-
crultlng at these points bos not been up to
the standard nf the other places occupied.
Fort Snolllng , Minn. , Is being considered as
a point for the establishment of a rendez
vous for ono of the five rssimcntH , as la
Fort Crook , Neb. , or old Fort Omaha , which
Is still In possession of the government.
Recruiting returns received at the close
ot office hours today ehowed an aggregate
enlistment of 13,45-1 , or 364 over the author
ized strength of ten regiments. Of this
number , however , 019 enlistments are for
general Philippine service and 400 of these
men have just been ordered from Columbus
"barracks " , Ohio , to the Presidio , California ,
to prepare for the trip to Manila , leaving
119 still unasslgnod.

NBW YORK. Aug. IB. A special to the
Herald from Washington saya : Orders arc
expected within a few ilays directing the
organization of live new volunteer regiments
for the Philippines.
Whllo a final decision on the matter of
cnllstlm ; still moro troops has not yet been
riade , the fact that Secretary Root Is al
ready considering the question of officers
for the regiments Indicates the strong prob
ability that they will be organised.
Secretary Root U determined that the fall
campaign shall end the Insurrection and that
General Otis may have no excuse for falling
to bring It to a close. He proposes giving
him ns large an army as conditions may
show Is necessary. Tbo proposed nerest -
nionts may bo sent Immediately after the
ten volunteer regiments already enlisted ,
should the necessity for them bo demon
strated. Should it be apparent when these
commands lu.vo been recruited that Otis'
force Is still not sufficient to control the
situation , recruiting will continue until all
of the volunteers authorized by congress
have been enlisted ,
The recruiting for the ten new regiments
continues , although the/ have their comple

as a nucleus for the new regiments. It Is

SAN FRANCISCO , Aug. 15. The Bulletin
publishes a startling story from the Philip
pines regarding Lieutenant Oil more and the
party from the Yorktown. who were cap
tured by the Filipinos and who have been
reported from official sources as being well
cared for and well treated. It appears that
when the Americans reached San Isldro ,
where the Yorktown members and some
soldiers nnd civilians had been Imprisoned ,
they found the names of the prisoners
scratched on the walls of the jail. Some let
ters from the men were found secreted un
der stones and a Spaniard who had been
Intrusted with several presented them to
General Lawton. The letters told of the
hardships the men were compelled to suffer
and begged that aid bo sent them. The
men complained that they had been starved ,
beaten and bound and. moreover , were In
rags. One of the letters signed by Albert
Lowenshon said that the Spaniards had been
treated very ibadly , worse than the Ameri
cans , and that hundreds were dvlng of dys
entery and other diseases and that the gov
ernment took no notice of the sickness pre
vailing. In his letter Lowenshon , who was
formerly ot the steamship Zealandla , gave
the list of prisoners held by the Filipinos
as follows :

WASHINGTON , Aug. 15. Secretory Root
gave attention largely to army matters to
day. Ho had long consultations with Ad
jutant General Corbln relative to tbo army ,
Its strength , equipment and supplies , thcsa
being considered in connection , with the
statements that have been furnished by the
heads of the different bureaus. The ques
tion of listing and selection of officers for
additional volunteer regiments also was un
der consideration , but It was stated that
no preparations for new enlistments were
under discussion. Neither Is It settled
whether nil the five proposed regiments
shall be Infantry. It has been suggested
that another cavalry regiment or two maybe
bo of great advantage In the Philippines.
The only objection to organizing two cavalry
regiments Is said to be the great difficulty
and cost of transporting horses to the Phil
ippines. The recruiting now going on will
continue. The new regiments may be or
ganized at some other posts than where the
first ten have been stationed , ns several
localities are anxious to have them.

LONDON , Aug. 1C. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) The secret ot
Mrs. Langtry's wedding with young Hugo
do Bathe , who Is only 28 years old , was so
well kept that the happy couple had to glvo
It out themselves today In self-defense , as
their sojourn nt the Carlton hotel the last
four days was cxcltlnc much gossip.
Old General do Bathe , father of the brideGroom -
Groom , disinherited his son In favor of his
second brother , though Hugo must In duo
course of tlmo get the baronetcy and Lang-
try will finish up as Lady do Bathe. Her
husband Is loft almost without a cent ex
cept $1,500 a year In his own right , but the
happy couple are quite prepared for this aa
there need be no lack of money as lone as
the lady chooses to provide U.
I saw them tonight , at least saw Langtry
with a handsome , smart looking , dark com-
iplexloned young fellow , presumably her hus
band. They seemed quite happy and Lang-
try was almost blooming again , chatting
with unusual animation.
Do Bathe has been paying his addresses
for some months. IIo was desperately In
fatuated and as In the case of young Sir
Robert Peel , the fresh sincerity of Do
Batho's passion awakened a responsive note
In the Jersey Lily. His people never fancied
the contemplated marriage , hut he Informed
his father of his Intention a week before
hand. His sisters arc all pretty and mar
ried fortunes , so he only followed their ex
ample. The oldest , Mrs. iMoAlmont , Is the
wife of the millionaire owner of the steam
yacht Glraldaj'tho second Is Lady Cross-
ley , wife ot a Lancashire millionaire ; the
third Is Mrs. Lawson , wife of the oldest
son of the owner of the Dally Telegraph ,
also a millionaire.
Qf course people are asking how long It
will last , and In the meantime Langtry
proposes to proceed with her Haymnrket
season , though this event was not contem
plated when she planned It.
Statement by MrH. InitRtry.
LONDON , Aug. IB. Mrs. Langtry In an
Interview at the theater said to a reporter
of the Associated Press :
"Yes , It Is qulto true I am married to Mr.
De Bathe. The wedding occurred very
quietly at my old church , St. Saviour's
Island of Jersey , where my dear old father
officiated so often. It was pretty much In
the nature of a runaway match , aa wo kept
It to ourselves , hoping It would leak out
gradually. I see the papers put me down as
47 years oM. Well , a few years cither way
doea not matter , but L am 39 , for the old
clerk at St. Saviour's took my age from the
church register of births.
"I know nothing of Hugo's estates. In
deed , I have not been there yet. Newspa
pers as a rule do not spare me and have
often criticised mewhen I did "not deserve
It. The very Idea of newspaper comment
makes mo nervous. I hope the newspapers
will speak nicely of our wedding , now that
the news has leaked out.
"Tho prince of Wales was , as he always Is ,
thoughtful. Ho remembered us kindly by
congratulations , but I am sorry his name
was mentioned , as what he did was done pri
vately and out of pure friendship.
"Mr. Frohmnn la arranging with mo for
an American tour. I long to go , for I love
the people ot that country. Of course , my
husband will accompany me. "

HIM Plnco of
PARIS , Aug. 15. The warrant for the ar
rest of M. Gucrln , president of the Anti-
Scmlto league , who with sympathizers has
been barricaded since Saturday last In the
offices of tbo league , has been placed In the
hands of Magistrate Fabre. Guerln Is now
regarded as an outlaw In a state ot rebel
lion slnco his notification of the. Issue of tbo
warrant. Ho cannot claim the right of a
citizen of exemption from arrest from sun
set to sunrise and the persons guarding the
headquarters of the league , numbering about
forty , are In the same box. Strict orders
have been given to arrest everyone at
tempting to enter or leave the building.
Three of Guerin'u friends who attempted to
leave the place this morning were arrested.
They nil carried six-chambered revolvers
and hatchets and what Frenchmen designated
nated- -"American knuckle dusters. " other
wise brass knuckles. The prefect of police

The leading Jews of Europe are arranging
for a meeting In Switzerland In order to
form an International association for their
defense against the crusade ot the anti-
Semites and to protect the Jews In France
after the Dreyfus courtmartlat Is ended ,
M. Waldcck-Rousscau conferred several
times during the day with M. Leplne , the
prefect of police , nnd In consideration of
the fast that a recourse to force In the ar-
rc < U of M. Guerin might lead to a useless
sacrifice of life , entailing still graver demon
strations 'at ' the obsequies of the victims ,
the premier decided not to expose the life
of any man , soldier , policeman or fireman ,
but to leave M. Gucrln a choice between
belt-Imprisonment nnd arrest. . .Meanwhile
It looks as though this affair would have a
rather tame ending. The friends of M.
Gucrln are busying thomBclvrs to rescue
Jilm from an Impossible and foolish posi
tion. M. Slovens , son of the artist , ob
tained from the government n permit to
enter M. Guerln's house and advise him to
surrender at discretion , advising him that
no ono doubted his courage , but he ought
not to compromise his friends and because
of placlcig human life at stake ,
Jorcph Lasciw , antl-Semlto deputy for
Geers , who was furnished with similar
permit , visited M , Gucrln at 9 o'clock this
evening and conferred with him for three-
quarters of an hour , making every effort to
persuade Guerln and his associates that
further resistance was vain and dangerous.
At about 10:30 : o'clock be went to see M ,
Waldeck-RouEseau , but the latter being ub-
vent , he was received by his representative.
M , Lasces said he was merely acting on his
own responsibility because he was anxious
to avoid strife.
IlenleKed 1'urty HxhiiiiMted.
"I believe , " M. Lasses continued , "that
the matter will be arranged omorrow. M.
Guerln and bla friends are overexcited. They
are exhausted by sleepless nights and the
momentary expectation of a police coup. 1
have succeeded In obtaining an assurance
from M. WaMeck.Rousseau that they will
not bo disturbed tonight and may get needful
repose. Tomorrow I shall cec- the premier

The city council listened Tuesday night
to different versions of the responsibility
for the deaths of the four firemen In the
Mercer fire from that returned by the core
ner's Jury. According to the Instructions
ot the council the chief of the fire depart
ment nnd the city electrician made reports
on the deaths nnd on measures to bo taken
to prevent the repetition ot such fatalities.
Wh.llo the two ofllcers differed ns to the
exact circumstances of the accident , they
agreed substantially In their recommenda
tions.
Chief Redell , In his report , advanced the
belief that the fatalities -were duo to the
contact of the turntable ladder with the
wires of the electric lighting circuit , which
wnro blchlv eharced and'Imncrfectly Insu
lated. Ills rccommendatlono Included the
placing of all dangerous wlrc underground
In the 'business ' portion ot the city , the
purchase for Hook and Ladder company No. '
1 of a modern hook nnd ladder with In- '
sulatcd handles and the enforcement of the
ordinance requiring the attendance ot line
men of the electric light nnd power com
panies at fires.
I Chief ncdcll explained that even with a
hook nnd ladder with Insulated handles the
(
men would not bo entirely safe from olcc-
trio currents , for common ladders would
' '
sometlmts convey electricity. He placed hla
| main reliance on the laying of dangerous
l wires underground. Incidentally he called
attention to the fact that the fire department
was trying to get along with apparatus
which had 'been discarded when ho first
entered the service nnd that the engines
and wagons had not been painted In four ,
years. No hose had been purchased In
three and one-half years.
Testimony of Seluirlp.
City Electrician Schurlg attributed the
death of the firemen to the cutting ot tho1
Insulation on the wlrco by the metal fittings
of the ladder. Owing to the .fact that tbero
was no ordinance requiring the city elec-
Itrlcian to attend fires and to the fact that'
I his duties called him to every part of the
city , It was almost Impossible for him to |
keep In communication with the fire de-1
partmont. Ho recommended that the chief
bo given full authority to order the turning '
oft of the currents In all wires likely to i
Interfere with or threaten the safety of the
firemen and to have thorn cut down ; that
two linemen be attached to the fire depart
ment , whoso duty It shall be to cut down
live wires ; that the electric light and street
car companies too required to send one or
more linemen to every fire , to report to the
chief , and that every such company bo re
quired to have a fire gong In each of Its
power houses.
These communications were .referred . to
th'o committee ' on street lighting. Two
measures nff.sctlng , the Interests ot thcr'jlra
department were passed during the'evening. .
One was a resolution directing the chief and
the Board of FIre and Police Commissioners
to < purchase 3,000 feet of flro hose , to be
paid for when funds were available. The
other was a resolution by Mercer requiring
every company operating overhead wires In
the city to have a fire gong ici each of its
power houses and to send a lineman to
every fire to report to the chlof. The reso
lution covers the same points ns an ordl-1
nance now on the booke , but was Introduced
'
with a view to enforcing the provisions of
that ordinance.

The nominations ot P. L. Perrlno and L.
P. FunkhoUBer to succeed Rev. Mackay and
Dr. Hanchett as members of the Public Li
brary board were submitted by the mayor.
Upon motion of Mercer they were referred
to the committee on Judiciary.
The mayor sent In his veto of n resolu-
'tlon""glvlng Henry Osthof permission to
hang out a cloth sign twice" a week In front
of his place of business , his reasons being
that the sign was Intended to advertise a
dance held In connection with a saloon ,
which would probably have to bo stopped by
the police soon. Ho said also that tbo mat
ter of permitting cloth signs was In the
bands of the mayor and Advisory Board and
It had uniformly denied such applications.
The council said the blgn could go up any

Health Commlesloner Spaldlng and City
Veterinarian Hamaclottl requested an appro
priation of $200 to pay their expenses to the
meeting of the National Veterinary associa
tion In New York. They stated that they
believed they could secure for the city free
of cost enough tuberculin for testing milk
to repay the expense. The request was re
ferred to the finance committee.
The mayor transmitted his veto of certain
Items In the appropriation ordinance cover

Instead of the health fund. The veto was
not sustained.
The report of the city engineer to the

"A stnument has been made and purporting -

but merely for the purpose of paying n

woman left the city for a visit to Iowa. The
man claimed to have" received n telegram
calling him nwny and ho asked for his valu
ables stored In the safe and that was the
last seen ot him.
Last Friday the woman appeared nt the
hotel nnd asked for her husband. He was
not there nnd she was unable to find Mm.
Then she went to the police nnd told a tiilo
of misplaced confidence. She said she came
from Syracuse , N. Y. , where she saw nn
advertisement In a newspaper stating that
Mr. Howard wanted to hire a housekeeper.
She was not living with her husband , who
Is a wealthy , , man , nnd she decided to apply
for the position.
She was accepted at once and began her
duties. Later on Mr. Howard began to pay
her some attention and ho proposed mar-
rtage. She was willing. He suggested they
go out to Dakota where she could get a di
vorce. They started on the trip west nnd
were known as Mr. nnd Mrs. Howard wher
ever they stopped.
When they arrived at Cleveland , O. , she
told Howard that as long as they were to
bo married , she might ns well glvo him her
money nnd Jewels to care for , so she gave'
him $1,100 and a quantity of Jewelry. When
they arrived In Omaha she said she would
go over to Elliot , la. , to visit with sirnr ,
friends and later join her husband here to
go on their way to Dakota But when she
came back Mr. Howard had flown and the
woman Is out her money and Jewels.
Detectives were put on the trail , but the
fugitive had made his escape and has not
slnco been heard from.

UROWNVILLE. Neb. . Aug. 15. ( Special
Tclcsram. ) United States Senator M. L.
Hay ward was stricken by apoplexy at 11:30 :
a. in. today and Is still very 111 from Its
effects. It was not thought late tonight
that the attack would result fatally.
At 7 p. m. the family physician , Dr. 13.
M. Whittcn , said : "Senator Hayward la
more comfortable nt present. His tcrnpern-
turo Is 100 , pulse 100 , respiration 22. Ills
condition Is stilt critical , but I think ho
will recover. Wo have some hopes ot re
moving him homo tomorrow , but It Is vorj
doubtful. As yet there tire no Indications
ot clot on the brain or paralysis , which ac
company or follows It , but It la not too
late for such Indications to appear and
paralysis may follow.
"I think the stroke Is probably the re
suit of the physical changes experienced
on his recent trip to the mountains , where
ho found the rare air did not ngroo with
him and ho was forced to return home. I
hnvo been his physician twenty-five years
and ho never had a similar stroke before.
Ho had a. strong , robust constitution. This
attack might have 'bccu caused by orer-
heatlng or over-exertion , mental or phys
ical. "
At 11:25 : p. m. the senator was resting
easily with no material change.
Ilny'H ProRrnm Interrupted.
Senator Hayward was ono of the speakers
billed nt the Modern Woodmen picnic held nt
this place. There was a largo crowd present
and Senator Hayward was seated on the plat
form chatting pleasantly with friends. He
was not complaining of any Indisposition
and appeared to bo In good health and spir
its.
its.Tho
The time had arrived Just after 11 a. m.
for him to deliver his address and ho was
Just on the point ot rUJug from his scat
when wo was seen to grasp as If seeking for
some support and then fall to the platform.
As the largo audlcnco realized that some
thing serious had happened to him there was
great excitement , but there 'wero ' some cool
heads among those present who realized that
something must bo demo gulckly.
Era , Galthcr and Crane , -who were pres-i *
ent , inado their way to the stricken man.
Under their Instructions the Woodmen
formed a line around the Dlaco where ho
lay to keep the crowd from surging In nnd
shutting out the air , and the doctors them
selves set to work to rovlvo Mr. Haywurd.
This proved a most dlfllcult task nnd It was
almost two hours .before . the Datlent showed
any decided signs of reviving consciousness.
Patient I2ITor < N Rewarded.
Shortly after 2 o'clock he had revived suf
ficiently to be able to talk some and the
doctors had stronc hopes of the senator's
ultimata recovery. Ho was removed to a
place where ho could have better care and
made as comfortable as possible under the
clrcustances.
In tbo meantime tfoo .family of Senator
Hayward had been notified and n special
train from Nebraska City brought his wife ,
his son , Captain "William Hayward , and
the family physician , Dr. Whlttcn. On the
arrival of this train a consultation of phy
sicians was hold and It was the opinion that
whllo the condition ot the senator was serH
oils there were coed grounds for hope of
bis ultimate recovery.
Ho was able to converse briefly , and In
answer to a question Indicated It as his do-
Hire that ho be removed to his homo In Ne
braska City , and It wan the opinion of the
physicians that this could safely ho done by
evening and arrangements to that effect wore
made.
Later In the afternoon raoro unfavorable
symptoms manifested themselves and It was
decided to abandon the attempt to remove
him. He Is at the homo of Richard Opelt
and Is as comfortably situated as he could
Im If at his own residence. While the sen
ator had not relapsed Into unconsciousness ,
at a late hour this afternoon ho was de
cidedly weaker.
The doctor. ? did not abandon hope of bis
recovery , but admitted that their patient was
In a most precarious condition and not strong
enough to withstand n serious relapse. All
three of the doctors are constantly at his
bedsldo and every thing that can bo IB be
ing done for him ,

NEBRASKA CITY , Aug. 1C. ( Special Tel.

out of danger. Ho has full control of his
mental faculties and appears to bo gradually
recovering from the effect of the paralytlo
