We are short of over coats and blankets. Now we are going to infringe on the hospitality of Califor nia and see if we can get the loan o( what we need. Failing in that, I will make arrangements with Governor Geer to buy blankets and overcoats from the quartermaster's department, and then lei the boys turn them in to the state of Oregon, receiving the money they paid for them. . "The government should have pro vided these things for the returning vol unteers. AVe are the pioneers of an army to come from Manila, and, let ine tell you, if something is not done it will i be worse here than it was in Cuba. There will be hundreds of deaths from pneumonia. The United States should turn over to the hospital at least 5000 blankets and 5000 overcoats. They will be needed, and as their use will be only temporary, the government can have them back again. If this is not done l-ni Fiancieco is going to be a great eravevard for the volunteers." General Summers, of the Second Ore gon regiment, has spoken in no uncer tain tones concerning the negligence of the government in failing to provide suitable clothing for the Oregon volun teers. The clothing the Oregon men wore in the tropical Philippines is all they have to protect their bodies from the pneumonia-laden fog of the Presidio. Lecture at New Era. Professor J. H. White, of San Fran cisco, will give an entertainment and will lecture on socialism at the New Era spiritualist camp meeting on Friday evening, July 22, 1899.

Washington, July 18. A severe jolt was given the administration today by the publication of the "round robin" protest of the newspapermen against the censorship at Manila. It brands the management of the Philippine cam paign as one of incompetency and evi dently shows that the right kind of a man is not in command. : It may be that General Otis is not act ing under his own volition, but upon in struction from Washington, when he has decided to keen from the people of the United States the facts concerning the real conditions. It is absurd to be lieve that the publication of reverses and the necessity for more troops would have assisted the Filipinos in their in surrection. Tl.e "round robin" tells more than appears on the surface. It shows that there never has been troops enough, and it has been the intention of somebody to deceive the people. General Otis' dis patches for more than a month contin ually predicied the downfall of the Phil ippine insurrection, and day after day the people of the United States were in formed that the end was about to come Evidently he was mii-informed, or he was carrying out- instructions wnicn never should have been given him. It seems as if the managers of the Philip pine campaign, both in Washington and Manila, were being forced into a uil-de- sac ; one object after another has been dodged by running hither and thither. Now the facts are laid bare and some decisive action must be taken. If General Otis has been a failure and has not kept the administration correct ly informed, he should be at once re lieved and some of the fighting ofheers in the Philippines placed ih charge, un til a man like Miles could reach Manna. Whetlier the administration will have the courage to take'serious action is just now puzzling everybody here. If the newspapermen are wrong, they should pe ordered from the Philippines ; if right, there should be a change in the head ot the American army in the islands. Nothing has occurred recently to cause a sensation as the joint production frfiru the Manila correspondents, and everybody is wondering how the ad ministration wll avoid decisive action. Shivering Volunteers. San Francisco, July 18.-An Oregon volunteer was fo.ind on guard duty to night at the Presidio wearing four suits of clothes, with a piece of flannel rihirt tied about his neck for a mutller. He had borrowed these things from the boys in his company. A year or two ago he was a Stanford senior weiging 170 pounds; now he is reduced to 120 and looks like a shadow. Scores of men in the Oregon regiment are passing through this experience, while the war department is busy with the eternal red tape. Another effort was made by the Red Cross Society and General Summers to have the Oregon!- ans provided with overcoats and blan kets. It is thought that by tomorrow Adjutant Babcr ck, of this city, will re- eive orders to draw these articles lroni the quartermaster. Meanwhile, uie soldiers are borrowing (rom each other, while half of the boys are obliged to re main in their tents or take the conse quences in the fog and wind outside. Genoral Shatter is not in the city, u the government fails in its duty, it is safe to say the two months' back pay re ceived by the troops Saturday will lie expended for necessities without which the present health of the regiment can not continue. Otis or Correspondents. New York, July 18. The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald quotes a member of the cabinet as follows: Either Major-Geneial Otis or the news- nnnpr enrresnondents must go. To de- 1 1 1 - .., port the correspondents would probabl y be accepted at home and abroad as a re turn to the old Spanish method of muz zling the press. To relieve Major-General Otis will mean an official acknowl edgement of his fault and a demoraliza tion of military discipline." The above statement was made when the member of the cabinet wag asked to discuss the problem which confronts the administration as a result of publication of the newspaper correspondents' "round robin" protesting against the course of General Otis in preventing the real facts regarding the Philippine sit ation from becoming known.

To illustrate, a short time ago a customer wanted to buy a quantity of ready mixed white paint for inside work. I took a lot of pains to explain to him that there was only one kind of white paint to use for inside work and that was a fiat white; or in other words a white mixed with turpentine instead of Linsesd Oil; that any inside white' paint mixed with Linseed Oil would turn yellow. While I had a cheap inside white paint I would not reccomend it to this customer because I knew his work was such that he would not be satisfied with a dingy yellow white later on. The paint I wanted him to use was Masury's flat white; or, as I told him, he could make his own by mixing white lead with turpentine. Nothing short of this would make a pure permanent white for inside work. After all I might as well have sold the cheap paint as he finally bought the same grade the kind I wouldn't sell and paid 5 cents a gallon more than I ask for it. However, when his paint is yellow and old before it's time he may remember what I told him about fiat white and ordinary white, C. Q.
