Washington, May 29. The question
ot calling out additional volunteers for
continuing the war in tbe Philippines is
expected to come np again al tomorrow's
session of the cabinet.
Those opposed to organizing a provis
ional army favor sending mure regulars
to tbe Philippines, and also enlisting
some of the peaceful Filipinos. But an
other element in the war department ii
opposed to half-way measures in dealing
with the situation. They are urging the
president to issue at once a call for at
least 20,000 men of the provisional army,
eo that it may be organized, trained and
sent to the Philippines in time to begin
an aggressive campaign in the early
autumn.
It Is expected that the president will
discuss all the phrases of the situatiou
with the cabinet tomorrow, and reach an
early decision.

senting the Spanish government, to ex
pedite the settlement of the claims of

the question of the compensation for the
armament and fortifications around
Manila that should be allowed to Spain
under tbe terms of the treaty of peace,
GILMORE RIDES
A HORSE
Reported in London That Zoambanga
Has Been Bombarded and Burned
British Steamer Was Denied
Admission and EscortedJSeaward.
Washington, May 31. The following
dispatch was received by the navy de
partment. Tne first news of Lieuten
ant Gilmore received for over a week is
taken by tbe department as a hopeful
indication of his situation.
"Manila, May 31. Escaped Spanish
prisoners report seeing Gilmore and
some sailors well. Gilmore ia allowed a
horse."
Zoambanga in Ashes.
New York, May 31. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Lon
don says: A eprcial dispatch from
Labuan announces that severe fighting
is reported between the Americans and
Filipinos on the island of Mindanao.
The principal city on the island, Zoam
banga, has been bombarded and burned.
The same dispatch reports trouble in
Sulu.
Tbe Americans have blockaded the
port. A British steamer was denied
admission and was escorted seaward by
the United States gunboat Castine.
Wool Moving Steadily.
Pendleton, Or., May 30. Predictions
that the wool market would be active by
June 1 ave been realized. Wool ia
moving steadily, and the clip will be
cleaned up quite promptly. Prices be'
gun on a basis representing two cents
below last year's quotations, and already
there has been tome improvement. This
improvement is not specifically signifi
cant, however, and is not believed to
indicate any very geaeral advance beyond
a small margin. "The advance," stated
one well-informedbuyer, "is due to the
influence of competition among tbe
buyers, but the influence must nec
essarily be limited. Buyers are under
orders from the houses they represent to
hold themselves in a conservative
attitude, and not repeat the mistakes of
last year, when too high prices were
paid, and money was lost ou all the sea
son's purchases. The market does not
juetify any material advance over pre
sent quotations, and must not be crowded
too hard."

of the engineer corps, who whs for sjma
time in chirge of the ofh of military
information' under General Oils' com
mand, has filed a report which the war
department lias jnt made public ii

General MacArtlinr.
In tbo report Bell mentioned the task

the Paeig river opposite the American
headquarters at San Pedro Macati of
certain insurgent troops and sharp
shooters. For thu purpose he selected
companies M and K of tbe Washington
volunteers, consisting of 121 men and
five officers. He pays high compliment
to the courageous and soldierly manner
exhibited by Brigade-Surgeon Shields
and Professor Becker, of the geological
survey, which accompanied his com
mand, and further says ttat Corporals
Selig, of company M, and Honghtington
of company K, attracted his attention
by especially cool and courageous con
duct.
CAPSIZED BY

tion has been received here that rat is- I
factory results have attended the move-'
ment among members of the vulanteer
regiments in Manila tor the establish
ment of a large American colony in the
Philippines.
Four thousand of the volunteers now
in the island are reported to have signed
a petition to the president and secretary
of war, praying that they receive their
discharges in Manila, instead of at the
places of enlistment, and they be al
lowed travel pay to the places of enlist
ment. It was explained that they be
lieved the Philippine islands "offered
rare opportunities for industrious and
enterprisiug Americans to make for them
selves homes," and that they desired to
remain "for the purpose of taking part
in the development of the mining, agri
cultural and industrial resources of the
islands"
Ttie petition stated that In tbe event
of favorable action by tho government,
those signing it pledged their united
support in upholding the laws and pro
tecting the interests of the United States,
and would, If so desired become members
of a national guard or such other organ'
izution as might be necessary for the
best protection of American interests in
the Philippines.
MURDERS 0C-

Insurgents Deal Vengeance Upon Those

Friendship to the Americans.
A SWELL
Two Brothers, Fishermen, are Drowned
Near Astoria.
Astoria, May 30. The first drowning
of the season among gill-net fishermen
on the lower river occurred this after
noon. The increased run of fish at the
mouth of the river during the past few
days has caused the men to venture close
to the breakers, and many narrow
escapes have been reported. A gale was
blowing today with a heavy sea running,
and just as Abraham and Oscar Juntii,
who had drifted down on the ebb tide,
attempted to raise their sail, the boat
was caught by a huge swell, thrown onto
Peacock spit end capsiied. The Canby
lifesavlng crew was close at hand and
succeeded in saving the boat and net,
but both men had sunk before they
could tie rear bed. The men hail boat
No. 082, and were fishing for the com
bine. Another fishing-boat containing two
men was carried over the bar this morn
ing. The Toint Adams lifesavlng crew
went out after them, but was unable to
pick them np and returned. What be
came of the men is not known.
Volunteers Want to Remain at Manila.
New Yoax, May 31. A special to the
Manila, May 31. Details regarding
the capture by tho Filipinos of two
officers from the hospital ship Relief
have just been obtained. The Relief lies
in the harbor in front of this city. Third
Officer Fred Heppy and the assistant
engineer, Charles Blanford, rigged a
sail on one of the ships boats and went
sailiug along tbe shore ou the south, op
posite the insurgent lines.
The boat became becalmed near the
shore and some native canoes with Fili
pinos on board put out and captured the
two men, who were unarmed, and also
took possession nf tbe boat. Tbe Monad
uuek quickly vent a boat with a landing
party ii n ler cover uf her guns and
shelled the shore biiskly. The natives,
however, rushed the prisoners into the
woods beforn the Monadnock's boat
reached the laud. Persons on board
several other ships saw the affair through
glasses, but were unable to prevent the
capture of Heppy and Blanford.
Friendly natives, arriving from the
country around San Isidroand San Mig
uel, report that a reign of terror has pre
vailed since the Ameiican troops were
withdrawn from those parts of the island.
Tbe insurgents who return are dealing
vengeance upon those of their country
men who liavo shown any friendship to
ward tbe Americans during the latter's
occupation of the territory. The friend
lies declare that unoffending people are
being murdered daily, and that their
houses are being burned and their prop
erty confiscated.
Plenty of sympathizers with the insur
rection remained during the American's
stay, and they hare been reporting these
instances of friendliness toward om
troops. Tbe refugees and the inhabit
ants were badly oppressed by the native
soldiers before American occupation, but
their condition is worse now. Doubtless!
there is much truth in t'ie reports,
though stories from Filipino sources are
always magnified.

Imperfect hearing, and when It Is en

unless tbe inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to Its normal

of That Sort of Peace in France in

of loyalty to the government gave no in
dication of his Intention to lash the gov

Tbe speech is regarded as seditious
Here is the incriminating phrase.
spoken in reference to the evacuation of
Fashoda : "Seeing what a stale of divis
ion our country is in, over an affair of
which I need not speak, we comprehend
that France could not make tbe supreme
effort. We felt that our country could
not make a proud, energetic reply. Ten
centuries of history have taught her that
peace was tbe instant question. Happily,
peace was maintained, but I believe I can
say that of that sort of peace there bad
better not be too much In Franc) in the
same centnrv."
As a result of Marchand's speech a
group of city ciuncilmen today asked

DEWEY HAS A
LIFE TITLE
Such is tbe Preference of the Originator
of the Scheme Would Go to
Future Admirals.
New Yobk, Juni l.Ia order that it
may be clearly understood whether it
was Admiral Upshur's intentiou, when
he suggested a gift cf a residence in
Washington to Admiral Dewer, that the
property purchased should become his
personal property and pass to bis heirs,
or whether it was his intention that it
should remain tbe permanent home of
the ranking e fficer of the navy, to be
occupied by Admiral D.-wey as ! 'i g as
1 remains at the bead of the navy, and
hereafter to pass to his success irs as
time goes on, the department of l.istory
of the Uuited States wrote to Admiral
Upshur, asking for bis idea on the matter
under data of May 2J.
The Admiral replied as follows : "Your
nference that It is my preference that a
home be purchased by the free-will of
ferings of Americans for the admiral of
be navy, should be occupied by Admiral
Dewey as long as be remains at the bead
f the navy and tben to pass to hli succ
essors, Is entirely correct."
