Not Civilized Warfare,
Nbw York, MBy 29. 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.

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.

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 "

"General Lawton had the eye of the
soldier when he said 100,000 men were

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.

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

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.
