PIACES FOR GENERALS.
Wathii gton .July i 4.-It is said at
the war department that ihe return of
the volunteer organizations from the
Philippines wil have no effect on the.
rank of volunteer general officers now
on duty there. The number of gen
eral officers depends, not on the par
ticular crgan'ralion of the service, but
J c n the total number of men. :
The law provides - for one '" major
general for every 12,000 men. There
w'H be In the Joint establishment when
tho present recruiting arrangements
are completed, about 78,000 men. There
are now thre-a HKijcr-ger.erals in the
regular establishment. Miles, Merrltt
and Brooke; in the volunteers, Shatt
er. Otis, Law ton and MacArthur. This
arrangement will probably tand as
there is a fraction over tho quota
of men for six major-generals.
There are now on duty In the Phil
ippines the following brigadiers in
the order of seniority named: Bates,
j Young, Schwan. Hall, Wheaton, Grant,
j Hughes and Ovenrbine. It Is under
' stood these will all retain their com
mands. Jt is not believed th- increase
in lite Joint establishment will neces
sitate the appointment cf any more
brigadier-generals, there being already
a eurplus in Cuba and efeewheie, who
have been cared for under' the provis-
j ion of the six months volunteer law.
Gtnerals FunHon, Smith- f nd Hill are
ordered home to that they are remov-
ed from consideration, so far as th
campaign in the Philipines is con
cerned. Schillings

SAN FRANCISCO. July
Francisco's celebration of the
4. San
nation
al anniversary, today, was the most
elaborate and successful In
many
years. Rarely has there been
suoh a
picturesque procession In this city.
Twelve thousand men were in
line, of
which 3.500 were United States
troops.
In line were all the convalescent sol
diers, from the general hospital at the
Presidio, recently returned '. from
the Philippines. This was a fea
ture of the procession especially sug
gested and carried out by Mayor Phe
lan. The convalescent soldiers rode
in carriages provided by the mayor.
Most of these soldiers looked pale and
wan; many were bandaged and here
and there a crutch peeped out of a
carriage.
A SENSATION.
New York, July 4. At the Tammany
celebration today, ex-Governor James
S. Hogg, of Texas, was responsible for
the sensation of -the day.
"We democrats will go to the next
convention", he said, "advocating, as
before, the unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio of IS to ."
There was loud cheering at tila. Ex
Governor Hogg said, the democrats in
1900 would denounce trusts, favor an
Income tax. the granting of I Cuban
independence and the construction and
maintenance of the Nicaragua canal,
and denounce Imperialism and govern
ment by injunction. ,
"With these principles, we will go
into battle, confident of victory", he
declared. "But we want the leupport
of Tammany, the greatest of j all the
local political organization. ! . And,
above all, we want to go into the fight
under .the leadership of William J.
Bryan." j
As ex-Governor Hogg uttered the
name of Bryan, the cheering was da
feaning and continued. During a
slight lull, aomebody proposed & cheer
for Van Wyck, but the crowd failed to
take it up.
MILES ORATES.

son A. Miles, who arrived here yester

"If as a foreign sovereign, you
thought you could influence French of

we do not stand on an equal! footing,
a none of us would condescend to call
to account a prince who is under
tutelage. Too are, perhaps,' a rela

that case It is premature to triumph,

came to open the place for the day's
business, she found that some one had
preceded her. and had opened the back
doors of the place (Iron shutters), and
had gone away leaving the doors
standing; open. A transom In the back
room of the store had been left open,
and some one had evidently entered
the building by climbing In through
this transom; he had evidently ran
sacked the building, but finding him
self In the wrong place, had opened
the. iron shutters (which were fasten
ed from the inside) and had left the
place in disgust. Airs. McMullen says I
that on Monday evening she carefully
closed and fastened the iron shutters,
closing the rear entrance to the bluld
ing. and that some one had surely been
In the building during the night. Noth
ing had been taken, however, and she
was pleased with this result.
