Already
New Yoek, Sept. 8. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says : Orders
will be issued from the war department
in day or two announcing the field and
staff officers of two additional volunteer
regiment?, which wiil be organized after
the manner of the so-called immune
regiments sent to Cuba last year, their
company officers and privates being ex
clusively colored men nd they will be
ready to sail for the Philippines early in
November.
The addition of these regiments to the
army almost exhausts the quota of 35,
000 volunteers allowed by congress.
There will then be twenty-five regiments
of 1309 men each, which, with the Porto
Rica naval battalion of 400 men leaves
a margin of only 1875 in the authorized
strength, or not quite enough for another
regiment, and a half.
Generul Miles had recommended three
colored regiments, while General Otis
had represented-(hat negioes'were not
desired in the Philippines, the friendly
natives being strongly prejudiced against
them. It is likely that one of the new
organizations will have its temporary
quarters at Richmond and be com
manded by Captain William P. Duval!,
First artillery, who was major in the inspector-general's
department and lieutenant-colonel
lu the ordinance corps
' last year.
The other regiment Till probably be
organized at Anniston, Ala. All the offi
cers have already been selected for the
two organ;7.atioiw and it only remains
for the president to issue commissions
and for the war department to direct the
beginning of recruiting. It has not vet
been determined whether Gneral Miles
and his staff will go to Manila next
month or not. If he does not it will have
to be in a similar capacity to that which
he occupied at Santiago, rather than in
the exercise of such authority as that
with which he was clothed in Porto Rica,
for no idea appears to be entertained bv
Secretary Root of having General Otis
superseded, notwithstanding the popular
ueiiiBnd for his recall to the United
States.
Under the circumstances it Is thought
General Miles will prefer to maintain
his headquarters of the army in Washing-
ion, where he may exert his influence
more ellYctively in directing the cam
pain as the chief military Instrument
o' the president and secretary of war.
An encouraging fenture of the coming
cimpaign against Againaldo is the assur
nce now given at the war department
inat increased responsibility and author
y have tieen given to the commanding
generals in the field, thereby to a great
extent enabling General Otis to devote
"'ore attention to the administrative af
which have been Increased
enormously and will continue to
multiply as new territory is brought

Dv and military operations.

Chicago, Sept. 8, A special to the
Record irom Washington says; NVs?n
A. Miles, commanding the army, will go
to the Philippines to direct the military
operations during the approaching cam"
paign. This statement, while not au
thorized by any announcement from the
president or the secretary of war, is
made upon the authority of one of the
officers of the department.
There is no doubt that General Miles
desires the assignment, and unless the
unexpected happens between now and
the middle of October he will start for
Manila.
. Klondike on the Wave.
Oregon City, Sept. 7. Ex-Sheriff G.
v . Urace, James Heckort and George
tucker returned today from Dawson.
The two latter have been there for two
year, but Mr. Grace recently went in to
look after business interests. They re
port that the Yukon river is fairly lined
with boats taking in suppliee, but there
will be fewer men in the Klondike
country the coming winter than there
were last year. Many men have left
the country, but there are 6till more
than can secure employment. They
further stated that no new strikes bad
been made, and that wages would be
dow n to $5 per day next winter.
South Oregon Pioneers.
Ashland, Or., Sept. 7. The annual
reunion of the Pioneer Society of South
ern Oregon was held at Ashland today.
The day was perfect, and the gathering
was a representative one from every
section of the country. A musical and
literary programme was observed at the
Chautauqua tabernacle in the forenoon,
when the address of the day was de
livered by J. Percy Wells, a native eon,
and was exceedingly well received.
Granite hall, where, the dinner to the
pioneers was served, was handsomely
docorated, and 120 sat down to the
feast.
Free Tuition for Volunteer.
M'Minnville, Or., Sept. 7. The ex
ecutive board of McMinnville college
yesterday passed an order granting free
tuition in the college for the ensuing
yeir to all returned volunteers of the
Second Oregon resident in Yamhill
county, and to all who were students in
the college at the time of enlistment,
whether resident in the county or not.
This action was taken in token of ap
preciation of the services of the soldier
boye, and will doubtless attract a goodly
number of them to the college the com
ma vear. The lolloae opens us uoors
for work on Wednesday next. September
13. The prospect Is good for a large
attendance.
Bryan to the Jcrseyites.
Washington, Sept. 7. Considerable
intereet is manifested in a letter which
Bryan has written to the New Jersey
democrats which is intended to secure
him the delegation from that state. His
advice is for them to advocate an
amendment to the constitution on the
income tax, and f jr the election of sen
atom hv the rjeonle. and to come out
strong in favor of anti-trust legislation

Verdict Today.
Rennes, Sept. 8. Announcement was
made this afternoon that the verdict of
the court-martial will be rendered to.
morrow. Labori foregoes the right to
speak for defense, lest by doing so he
should irritate the judges and destroy
the good effect hoped for by the speech
of Demange. The court, therefore, will
deliberate on t he conclusion of Demange'e
speech and the judgement will probably
be delivered before noon. There is a
nearly nn'vers'al feeling this afternoon
that Dreyfus will be condemned.

HE MAINTAINED
HIS INNOCENCE
Decision of the Court Was Not Unani
mous, Five of the Judges Being For
Conviction of the Prisoner, and
Two For His Acquittal.
Rennes, Sept. 9. Dreyfus was found
poilty. It was the sentence of the court
that he be imprisoned for a term of ten
years.
The magnificent oratory of DemaDge
was without effect on the court, which
listened to the thundering peroration
echoing through the court and corridors
without interest.
Although the verdict seemed de
termined upon before the court retired,
two hours wero consumed In delibera
tion. The verdict was greeted by the crowd
outside with cheers for the army.
Dreyfus maintained his Innocence to
the last, his list words being, before the
court retired, "I affirm that I am In
nocent." Five years of the ten-year sentence
have already been served by the
prisoner, so he has but five years re
maining to serve.
The scenes of the morning at the
Rennes were dramatic. The streets
were filled with soldiers, and the little
town looked as though in a state of siege.
Persons who stopped or loitered were
ordered to move on by the gendarme?,
who were omnipresent
Those who were admitted to the court
room by ticket were first searched, the
ladies being forced to piirt with even
their parasols.
Labori waived his right to speak, end
when Demange had finished his master
ful address, the court retired to delib
erate Rennes, Sept. 9. At 3:10 p. in. the
court retired to consider the verdict. At
4 .30 p. in. the court was still out. The
infantry had arrived and taken up a po
sition at the door of the Lycee, and four
lines of cavalry were also drawn un.
The verdict was rendered at5:02 p. m.
The court stood 0 to 2 for condemnation
of the prisoner. The court outside greeted
the verdict with cheers for the army.
The court found extenuating circum
stances. The judgment was read to Dreyfus In
an adjoining room by the clerk of the
court. M. Coupers. Dreyfus listened
impassive, and did not give the slightest
sign of emotion, did not utter a word
and marched back to pnson like an
an tomaton.
It is understood that Dreyfus will be
sent to Fort Ccrto on the island of Cor
sica. A largo crowd, which the police kept
moving, waited around the squ iro In
which the telegraph office and principal
cafes are situated. The first indication
to these watchers that a result bad been
reached was when a Boldier on a bicycle
came tearing along as fast as be could
from the Lycee towards the artillery
barracks. Five or ten minutes elapsed
before the army of reporters and messen
gers on foot and on bicycles came in a
wave up the street, and the telegraph
office was in a pandemonium. It was
literally packed with men and women,
nil struggling toward the two little
windows where dispatches are received.
In the meanwhile news of the condem
nation of Dreyfus ha I filtered out to the
crowd, but It produced no excitement.
V oolgro wcrs Protest.
Nokth Yakima, Wash., Sept. 9. At a
meeting of the Woolgrowers' Association
of Eastern Washington, held here this

Kegels' Judgment Was Bad.
Manila, Sept. 9. A force of 450 rebe's,
with one cannon, attacked Santarita
early this morning, and simultaneously
Guagua and San Antonio were attacked
by bodies of rebels numbering about COO
men.
All the insurgents were repulsed with
out loss to the Americans.
Colonel Bell and his regiment, while
attempting to take the rebels in the rear,
met two small patrols, and succeeded iu
capturing the rebels a captain, lieu
tenant and six privates.

Wardner Bullpen Prisoners Not to Be
Tried This Term.
Wallace, Idaho, Sept. 9. None of
the prisoners in tho Wardner bullpen
are to be tried at the present term of
court in this county. The only trials
that may occur in connection with the
riots of April last will be those of the
seven prisoners who recently escaped
from the bullpen, if they shall be re
captured, which eeems highly improb
able, as the days pass and no clews are
unearthed. Announcement that there
will bo no other trials is not officially
given out, but it is admitted by Prosecut
ing Attorneys Forney and Borali, Judge
Stewart (who is holding court), State
Auditor Bartlett Sinclair, and Reddy,
Robertson and Breen, attorneys for the
defense. When the matter was twice
brought up this week, on motion of the
attorneys for tho prisoners, Prosecutor
Forney announced that the state was
not ready to proceed with the rases, and
would not state in open court when the
cases would be begun.
From all these statements, it seems
that the men in tho bullpen must wait
until the January term of court before
called upon to answer the charges of con
spiracy nnd arson in connection with
tho riots.
Bryan Returning East.
Salt Lake, Sept. 9. Colomd William
J. Bryan arrived here tonight from the
West. He was met at the depot by a
committee of local Democrats and silver
Republicans and escorted to tho Salt
Palace, where he was greeted by a large
and enthusiastic audience. He spoke
for an hour and a half, expressing his
well-known views on imperialism,
finance and trusts. He leaves for the
East tomorrow morning.

Lively at Vancouver.
Vancouver, Wash., Sept. 10. This
city and barracks was thronged with
visitors today, the crowd exceeding that
of any previous day since the organiza
tion of the Thirty-fifth infantry. The
big military camp furnished sufficient
attractions to bold people all day, com
mencing with guard mount at 9 o'clock
this morning, until a concer', which took
place on the parade ground at 4 p. m.
Many visitors from a distance waited
after the concert, expecting to witness
regimental dress parade, but they were
disappointed in this, reports that such
parade would take place being un
authorised. Troops drill and appear on
parade every day in the week except
Saturday afternoon and Sunday, when
they are given a rest.

Secretary Boot May Yet Stnl Miles
PRES. M'KINLEY
NOW HESITATES
Fears the General, if Victorious, Will
Be a Formidable Competitor for
the Presidency.
Washington, Sept. 0. The impres
sion is growing that Otis will have to be
superseded. There will be no senti
ment with Secretary Root about keeping
Otis in command if bethinks another
man can do better. The eecretary re
gards succees in the Philippines as far
more important than the fame of any
man. He will net allow any feeling to
stand in hid way. Root is now serious
ly considering Miles as the man fur the
emergmcy.
The president hesitates because of
sentimental fondness for Otis and be
cause of the insistence of Corbin that
Otis should remain in command. But
there is a still greater fear about sending
Miles. From close friends oi the ad
ministration, it is learned that the pres
ident fears Miles might close the Philip
pine war in a ulnzs ot glory and ue a
formidable competitor lor ttie presi
dency. The samo fear has prevented
the administration from giving Miles
any command commensurate with the
position lie has held as general com
manding the army. If the president is
determined that Miles shall not go to
the Philippines, Root will be unable to
send him, and will try and do the best
with the other material he haj to crush
the Filipino relellion.
The delegation from the statoof Wash
ington attends to business. Senator
Foster is here, looking after the interests
of his state. He is making every effort
to induce the administration to do the
transport business with the Philippines
through Puget sound. Representative
Cnshman, of Washington, also arrived
today, to attend to business for his
state.

FAREWELL T0
REV. LOCKE
Former Portland Pastor Goes From San
Francisco to Buffalo.
San Fbancisio, Sept. 10. The Rev.
Charles Edward Locke, formerly of
Portland, Or., and two years the pastor
of Central Methodist church in this city,
preached his farewell 'sermon tonight.
He will leave with his family tomorrow
evening for Buffalo, N. Y., where he has
accepted call from the Delaware
avenue church, of that city.
. Tonight hundreds of people were
turned away from Dr. Locke's church,
and an hour before the service the
auditorium and galleries were packed.
Dr. Locke's sermon was inspired by the
text found In Proverbs iv:23, '"Kep
thine heart with all diligence, for out of
Pure
delicious and wholesome
it are the issues of life." It was a
masterly eff-rt. At the conclusion of
the discourse the congregation expressed
regret and congratulation for their
pastor.
A year ago Dr. Lwke was ohligf d to
hold Sunday evening services in Metro
politan temple iu order to accommodate
tho throng that came to hear him. Four
thousand people have gathered to hear
him on these occasions. His call to
Buffalo Is said to be a flattering one, as)
the church is the largest in that city.

AN EXPRESS
TRAIN ROBBED
Safe Blown Open and Contents Taken
Men Escaped.
Cociiisk, Ariz , Sept. 10. Express1
train No. 10, on the Southern Pacific,
was robbed near here last night by four
masked men, who blew the safe open
and look everything in sight. The
amount of their buotv is said to be small.
The train was stopped, the engine,
mail and express cars were cut off from
the rest of the train and run a mile
farther up the road, where tiie bandits
stopped to complete their work. The
express messenger was forced to open
his car and the robbers attacked the safe
with dynamite. The strong box was
soon blown open and the contents taken
by tho thieves, who hastily departed.
They were last seen going north on
foot, and a posse started out on their
trail. The dynamite used on the safe
blew out the side of the express car and
tore up the fl )or. There is no clue to
the identity of the robbers.
