A. special to the Herald from Washington says: "Information received here in private letters from officers serving in the Phil ippines state thi Filipinos show no "re spect to the American dead. In one in stance an officer who was on the firing line says lie was chocked to see three bodies of American soldiers who had been killed in an advance and were brought within the American lines bad ly mutilated. The ears of each of the corpses had been removed, the noses cut off and the hearts torn out. ''Such mutilation dispmves Aguinal do's claim that the insurgents are con ducting a civilized warfare. The Amer ican troops give the Philippine dead a decent burial and provide every comfort and medical treatment possible for the wounded." Call for Troops. Washington, May 30. The question of calling out additional volunteeis for continuing the war in the Philippines is expected to come up again at tomor row's session of thecabinet. Those opposed to organizing a provis ional army favor sending more regulars to the Philippines, and also enlisting sme of the peaceful Filipinos. But an other elemett in the war department is opposed to half way measures in dealing with the situation. They are urging the presided to issue at once a call for at least 20,000 men of the provissional army. It is expected that the president will discuss all the phases of the situation with the cabinet tomorrow, and reach an early decission. Baking Powder. Made from pure cream of tartar.

Since his arri. val here Admiral Dewey has improved in health, though he still refuses all in vitations of a social nature. The admiral has also relinquished his official duty on board the Olympia. The date of his de parture for home is still uncertain, his intention being to remain here until he baa thoroughly recuperate', lue pro gramme for the Olympia's voyage to the United States is not definitely decided upon. It has been determined, however, to make a stop at the Piraeus, from which port Dewey will go to Athens, there to pay his respects to King George of Greece. The Olympia is being painted white instead of the dark slate color which was applied to it before the war. FOREIGN Sis articles of Russia's arbitration scheme have been adopted. Dewey's flagship is now repaired and newly painted and out of the dry dock at Hong Kong. Negotiations for settlement of the Alaska disputes will now be carried on directly with England. The trouble in the Transvaal will be settled satisfactorily. London Times pays tribute to Ameri can jurists. British concede neutral rights on the sea at the peace conference. England will probably censure Canada foj. not compromising with us on Alaska questions. May Have All He Wants. Washington, May 31. "General Otis will be given all the men necessary suc cessfully to carry out the plan adopted in the Philippines," said Secretary of War Alger tonight. General Otis needs at least 40,000 men, and 50,003 wou Id better meet the exigencies of thasituation in the Phil ippines. Mr. McKinley wants toavoid a call for more volunteers, and yet he can see no way of escaping it. General 0.1 needs at least 20,000 more men, and the other 15,000 "f the force of 35,000 volun- leers which the president may call for without further action of congress, are needed in the United State. 'It is not now a questiou of whether 35,000 volunteers are to be enlisted," said an authority tonight. "It is only a quer tion of how soon the call shall be issued. Whether the president shall issue the call now, so that the men may be enlisted and put in shape for service by the close of the r liny season , or whet her it shall be delayed two or three months and the campaign in the Philippines dragged into the next century, are points the president must decide " ri 1 I Three month's Shorthand rr: is in the Isaac Pitman Phonography will prepare the student lor office work.

With 75,000 or 100,003 men we could sweep the island in 30 days and avert the tremendous mortality th it is no.v as cer tain ps fate. "General Lawton had the eye of the soldier when he said 100,000 men were needed. We have not troips enough to occupy what we conquer. The place at which I was wounded had been taken three times before, and as nrwy times abandoned because we had not the force to hold it. That is the case everywhere. Manila is a great city, full of thousands of men ready to rise at a moment's notice. It requires 10,000 men to hold down Man ila. Soin ) 6,0 il are in hospital or use leas, and that le ives barely 15,00 J men to beat the Filipino in the ti-ld and hold what is gained." Ice cream toda at Ksy Kandy Kitch en.

Bradley, secretary, The parade and services was one of the best patriotic demonstrations ever given in this city. Mr. Sullivan made an excellent grand marshal, but the line of march was entirely too long, some of the older men growing faint, before they reached the top of the Singer hill. The program of the pa rade, which was set up in this office was used by another paper before it was printed here, but the foreman of that paper did not bring all the type back distributing three or four inches of it. This is why a portion of the pro gram was left out of last week's paper Not Soldiers Enough. CHICAGO, May 30,-The Times-Herald says: Captain Charles D. Clay, of the seven teenth infantry, a grandson of Henry Clay, and a fighter at Santiago, has re turned from Manila on sick leave. He was wounded near Malolos the 25th of March, 15 days after the landing of the transports. The bullet entered his neck, and has not been extracted. He went last night to his home in Lexington, Ky., but expects to go on to New York imme diately for treatment. Concerning the war in the Philippines, he said; Volunteers Tie with the regulars for gallantry. The heroism of both Is superb, The First Nebraska and Twentieth Kan sas regiments are equal to any on earth. And the war now going on is as difficult and difficult a passage of arms as any in our annals. A handful of men are waging Paint Talks (No. 4) i t People have been humbugged so much with worth less gnaranteees that it is hard to make them believe that I am really anxious to know when anything they buy of me is not entirely satisfactory. Only last week I found out by chance that six years ago a good customer of mine used Masury's Paint, and it went back on him some way or other pealed off and was unsatisfactory. I immediately wrote the Masury Co. regarding this and even at this late date they propose to make this job right they would gladly have done so five years ago had they been given an opportunity. Masury's manager writes me that they guarantee their Paint to wear longer and go farther gallon, for gallon, than any other paint made. One can easily believe this when they stand back of it as they have in the case cited above. I am trying to conduct my whole store on these linei everything must be exactly as represented and when it is not, you ought to let me know ityour co-operation is necessary. I C. a.
