NEED MORE TROOPS
Gen Merritt Wants an Army of
50000 Men at Manila
THE PROBLEM OF TGE PHILIPPINES
Th Attltait to It Auamil Toward the
Inaargrtit I’arallng the Administration
1 Whliigton— A CommlMloa
Considered Inerou
San Francisco Aug 4 — It is possi-
ble that within two weeks every avail-
able soldier now In camp at San Fran-
cisco will be on the way to Manila
An important cablegram Ins leen re-
ceived via Hong Kong by Maj Gen
Merrlam from Maj Gen Merritt mili-
tary governor of the Philippines ask-
ing for a statement as to the number
1 troopships dispatched for Manila
since his departure dates of their sail-
ing and number of soldiers carried by
each In the same dispntch Gen Mer-
ritt virtually called for 30000 more
troops in addition to the quota of 20-
000 already u-signed him The lutter
part of the telegram is a duplicate of
a message sent by Gen Merritt to the
war department
It is evident that Gen Merritt con-
siders the situation at Manila very
serious not so much owing to the
Spaniards In the city as to the bold
and threatening attitude assumed by
Aguinnldo and his insurgents who are
manifesting an ugly disposition to
carry on an independent warfare Up
to date there have been Bent from San
Francisco 10000 troops for the Philip-
pines of whom 13000 liavo arrived
at Manila and 4000 are en route
The rest of the quota is 4000
which with the 30000 addi-
tional now called for will make :!4000
troops yet to be transported from San
Francisco if the demand of Gen Mer-
ritt is complied with There are im-
mediately available at San Francisco
six full regiments aggregating 7800
men These are the Seventh Califor-
nia First Tennessee Twentieth Kan-
sas Fifty-first Iowa First Washing-
ton and Eighth California There are
also 1800 recruits These 9000 men
can be sent to Manila as fast as steam-
ers can be furnished for their trans-
portation TIIK PROBLEM OF TIIK IMIHUCIXES
Washington Aug 4 — An interesting
question and one of vital importance
to the administration is the attitude
to be assumed by the United States to-
ward the Philippine insurgents in tiie
event that we reach an agreement for
the suspension of hostilities with
Spain It ia stipulated in our peace
terms that the United States military
forces shall occupy and establish a
military form of government over
tiie city of Manila and the
hay with the surrounding terri-
tory This involves an immedi-
ate surrender of the Spanish forces
not to Aguinaldo hut to Gen Merritt
and there is apprehension that tiie in-
surgents will resent this very bitterly
and that it will be necessary to expel
them forcibly from the territory de-
scribed beyond this it is said in some
quarters that pending the decision of
the peace commissioners as to the
future of the Philippines the United
Slates will be morally bound to main-
tain the statu quo in the islands at
large In other words liuving deprived
Spain of the means of resisting the
onslaughts of the insurgents it has
been urged that the United States
would be hound to prevent the latter
from continuing their warfare There
is a lack of information in Washing-
ton on many important points as to
the conditions in the Philippines For
Instance it is not known even ap-
proximately bow extensive the
revolutionary movement lias been
throughout the vast group of 1200
islands ami among the large popula-
tion estimated to aggregate between
8000000 and 15000000 If the revolu-
tionary movement is general and ex-
tends to very many of the islands the
task presented to the United States
military and naval authorities will be
one of great magnitude in the event
it is decided to be incumlent upon us
not only to restore Spanish sovereignty
where it has been lost but to prevent
Its overthrow in sections where it is
still supreme and to prevent ex-cesses
and outrages at the hands of the in-
surgents A COMMISSION CONSIDERED DANGEROUS
London Aug 4 — A dispatch to the
Daily Mall from Singapore says:
President M’Klnley's proposal Unit com-
mission should decide the future government
of the Philippines is considered here as giving
Spain a ehancc of recovering partial authority
over her revolted subjects The state of
things It Is thought might nlford an opening
for intrlgu -a on the part of foreign powers un-
friendly to America Great llrltain and Japan
uiid might prove dangerous to the cause of
permanent peace in the Pu-ilic

Antlssptic Coverings for the Dead
to Be Taken to Cuba
War Department Gives Order far 10-
out) af Them— Will Preserve Is Per-
fect Condition a Corpse for
Two Week
From the quartermaster general’ of-
fice of the war departmental! order waa
placed with a Tampa (Fla) firm for
lurge quantity of antiseptic blankets
for use of the army of invasion in Cuba
and by which tbe bodies of soldier
fallen ia battle may be protected from
decomposition It i tbe intention of
war department ollicial that the blank-
kel shall be used by tbe aoldiera in
the field to Bleep upon in camp and to
protect the bodie of those who meet
death while ia transport to America for
burial
When tbe ends of the blanket are
fastened together tbe covering become
to all intentsand purposes hermetically
sealed caskets in w bicb dead bodies will
be in no danger of decomposition until
such time as burial will be practicable
It Is understood the order placed pro-
vides tor the delivery of 10000 at ten
dollars per blanket at Mobile Ala If
however marching orders are in the
meantime issued directing the army
to move into Cuba the blankets are to
be shipped to any portion of tbe island
in which may be opened a base of sup-
plies The officials of the war department
decided upon making the purchase only
after a thorough test which has just
been completed and which proved to
the complete satisfaction of the quar-
termaster general’s department that
the value and utility of tbe blankets
could not have been exaggerated In
making the test the body of a dog be-
longing to Commandant Norton of the
navy yard which died nearly two weeks
ngo was used It was stated that the
carcass would not decompose if al-
lowed to remaiu in the blanket ODe
month which would serve all the pur-
poses of the experiment The dog’s
body was not subjected to any prepara-
tion before being placed in the blanket
so as to be in keeping with what would
be the fate of the soldier who falls in
battle Owing to the expected move-
ment of the troops however the offi-
cials In charge of the test consented to
a two weeks' limit and the body of
the dog was uncovered it was found
to be in a perfect state of preservation
whereupon the order for the blankets
was immediately placed

rut lo n man iu honor of the “sound

they were mighty fearful lest the na-
tion should “dishonor itself by electing
Bryan lo the presidency” “If be is
elected we will not submit” they said
Well they didn't have to submit and
their man is in the white house to-day
culling for the volunteer militia to go to
the front against a foreign foe In the
face of all this they by unanimous
vote refuse to go to the country’s de-
ft nse Was there ever such an indict-
ment of the scoundrels who were prat-

ey” and “national honor” In 1S9G?
There is another Seventh regiment in
Illinois It Is w holly composed of Irish-
Americun citizens of Chicago They ore
a plain lot of young men and as 0 gen-

sweat of their brow” Naturally they

Idol failed to reach the goal They too
