Kkw York, June 23. A special to the

dent McKinley will authorize the enlist
ment ol additional men for the Philip
pinea when he returns to Washington
There is the understanding of well in
formed war department officials. The
idroiuistration has at least coire to rec
ojnizi the necessity of reinforcing Gen
eral Otis' command. It is apparent that
lome department tfficials are figuring
on the advisability of enlisting sufficient
men to form ten complete regiments
Acting Secretary of War Meiklejohn
laid if the president authorized ad
ditional men, the number would be de
terruined niter a cousultation.with Gen
eral Otis. It would not be surprising
were the department to hear from Gen
eral Otis before the return of the presi
dent, in order that the hitter may be
supplied with the neceseary information
in order to take immediate action
"In any event," said Mr. Meiklejohn
"there is little probability of a formal
call for volunteers. State organizations
will not be ai cpted, although there are
many applications on file from thorn for
master in and be dispatched to the Phil
ippines. The president, I think, author
ised (lie department to direct its recruit
icg officers to make enlistments, and I
m confident that men can be obtained
in such numbers as to form a complete
organization and be ready for service
with General Otis during the fall
months."
Should the president authorize the
formation of ten regiments, recruiting
officers who will have to obtain 15,700
men to fill them. At least 4000 men will
be required for the three volunteers or-
fanintions which General Otis has au
thority to organize, making about 20,000
of the 33,000 uien of the provisional
"my, uie enlistment of which Is au

President MeKinley's policy iu regard
to the future form of government for the
imiippiiies and Cuba is still undefined.
Bt regardless of what future develop

"Dk Gallifet."
New York, June 25. A special to the
Herald from Washington says : A new
executive branch of the government
with the title, "Department of Colonial
Aiiairs ana foreign Commerce, or
something similar to it, is deemed by
the administration absolutely necessary
to meet new conditions which confront
the United States as a result of the w
with Spain.
The word "colonial" is repugnant for
political reasons to so ire of the mem
bers of the cabinet, because it smacks of
imperialism, and it is probable that
some other title will be adopted. The
meaning, however, will be the same.
Preliminary to recommendations to con
gress on this subject, data is now being
complied concerning the control of the
colonies by foreign powers and the
extension of our commerce into foreign
fields, and members of the cabinet and
subordinate officials of the administra
tion are giving much thought and time
to the details of the proposed new department.
American consuls on doty in the
colonies belonging to foreign powers, es
pecially those of Great Britaio, are to
be c.il led upon for full reports upon a
list of questions now preparing for sub
mission to them. Robert P. Porter, who
is looked upon as the probable head of
the proposed cabinet offico when created,
will be consulted in regard to the plans
for extending foreign commerce, which
is to become a feature of the new department.

London, June 24. The Evening News
publishes the following from Its corres
pondent at Rcnnes, France: "With all

rived here at 5 o'clock this morning.
A special train with four passengers ar

six gendarmes, and drove to the military
prison, where the coachman was de

Tho authorites declined all information
and the railway officials are sworn to
secrecy.
Paris, June 24. The cabinet hns sent
a circular to the prefects saying rew
ministry has been formed to defend tie
republic and that it puts aelde all parti
san feeling, which example, it is pointed
out, should be followed by the prefects.
The latter are urged to promptly inform
the government of all acts affecting the
respect of established institutions and
public order, and to be ready in case of
need to act promptly on their own re
sponsibility. Tho prefects are also
warned to let bygones he bygones and to
perform their duties with precision. The
minister of war has also sent a circular
letter to the generals as follows:
"My Dear General: I have been
forced, much to my regret, to leave my
retreat and assume official duties under

Indians Fight Over Religion.
Vascoiveb, B. C, June 24. Three
rival factious of the Indian community
at Port Essington had a bloody fight last
Saturday. The steamer Princess Louise
brought the news here, and many of the
Indians who took part in the fight came
on her. It appears that a few week ago
the Indians encamped at Essington went
on strike in the salmon-fishing business.
A corps of the Salvation Army ai rived
shortly afterwards and commenced to
bold revival services. Ttiese were very
popular for some time, and the Method
ist and Church of England missionaries
then decided to emulate the example of
the Salvationists, so that soon they had
camp about equally divided among them.
This condition of affairs resulted in a se
rious riot on Saturday, in which many
Indians were injured bat none killed.
Wheat Sales in Walla Walla.
Walla Walla, Wash., June 22. Dur
ing the latter part of last week consid
erable wheat changed hands here on the
bulge in the market. Buyers estimate
that 150,000 bushels were sold at 50 cents
for club and 53 for bluestem. Should
the market go back to those figures again
it is probable thnt the Valley would
be pretty thoroughly drained of its sur
plus. The growing crop is in good con
dition, but being all spring-sown it shows
the need of continuous showers, and
unlees another good rain comes before
ripening commences, the crop will be
immature and the heads poorly filled.

tablish their guilt, under conditions
which mako theSpanish inquisition pale

Province All Other Organizations
Arc Scattered.
Washington, June 20. General Otis,
ii reply to a cable from the war depart
ment asking f ir information regarding
Die situation and conditions in the
Philippines, today cabled a long reply as
follows :
"Manila, Jano 20 Adju'ant-General,
Washington: It is the rainy season,
and there is little inland campaigning in
Luzon. We occupy the larger portion
of theTagnlog country, our lines stretch
ing from Imus, south to San Fernando,
north, nearly sixty miles, and eastward
into Lngnna province. The insurgent
armies have suffered great losses, and
are scattered. The only large force to
gether is about 4000 in Tarlac province
and Northern Pampanga.
"Their rcattered forces are in bands of
fifty to five-hundred. In other portions
of Luzon in Cavite and Batangas
provinces they could assemble possibly
2000, though demoralized from recent
defeats.
"The mass of tho people, teriurlzedby
the insurgent soldiers, desire f eice and
American protection, anl no longer flee
on the approach of our troops, unless
forced by the insurgents, hut gladly
wolcomo them. There baa been no
recent burning of towns. The popula
tion within our lines is becoming dense,
and the Inhabitants are taking up land
cultivation extensively, being kept ont
of Manila as much as possible, as the
city popnlation is becoming too great to
he cired for.
"The natives of southeast Luzon are
combining to drive out tl e insurgents.
Thu only hope of the insurgent leaders
is United States aid. They proclaim the
near overthrow of the present adminis
tration is to bo followed by their inde
pendence and recognition by the United
States. This is the influence which en
ables them to hold ont. Much conten
tion prevails among them, and no civil
government remains. Trade with porta
not in our possession, the fi rmer source
of insurgent revenue, is now interdicted.
Am not certain of the wisdom of this
policy, aB the people In those parts are
without a supply of food, and the mer
chants are suffering losses. The courts
are in successful operation, uuder the di
rection of able Filipinos.

by regulars, who now occupy salient
positions. Nebraska, Pennsylvania and

Sixth infantry will ho sent to Negros to
