ttcuIJ be sufficient to crush the rebellion. In view of the strength developed by the Insurgents they are not now so sanguine that ten regiments are enough. There will be 13.700 men In the ten regiment?, the advisability of raisins which the War Department Is now considering, but well-Informed officers say the force of 50.000 men which General Otis will have when the reinforcements are placed at his disposal will not be sufficient.. Besides the island of Luzon there are many other Inlands In the archipelago In which this government will have to restore peace and order, and In the more Important ones there are already good bodies prepared to resist occupation by American troops. "Gen. Marcus p. Miller, who recently arrived from the Philippines, where he governed Iloilo, has been living here since his return. General Miller's view as to the number of men required for the subjugation of the Islands is very different from that of General Otis. He believes 6T,000 men at least are required 30.000 for the control of Luzon and the remainder for the restoration of peace and order In the other islands. General Milhr's view coincides with Gen. Law ton's and that of other officers subordinate to General Otis. In fact. In other than administration circles there is a disposition to believe General Otis's estimate of the number of men required was made when he knew of the desire of the President not to raise volunteers if possible to avoid it." . SUPREME COt'ItT AT WORK.

First Step Towards Self-Government In the Philippines. MANILA. June S6. Great 4 Interest Is taken In the result of the first step which Is cw being taken here In the direction of self-government. The Supreme Court is sitting daily and the American and Filipino Judges are holding consultations through an Interpreter. A unanimous vote is required for a decision. Major General Otis has persuaded Major Young, of the Utah battery, to remain on the court for a time after the battery departs. Threw of the native Justices are absent. Ambroslo Ryanzares, Justice of the criminal branch of the court, happened to b at Tarlac, then the feat of the insurgent government, when the appointments were announced, and he was orjested and sentenced to banishment for life. 1113 present whereabouts are not known. Pedro Llorente, associate Justice of the Supremo Court, is In Cebu. where he has great Influence, worklns to" popularize the American rule with good results.. The native Judges will now begin to hold criminal courts, having Jurisdiction over all offenses except those committed by officers and solders or against military authority. The United State transport Sherman has sailed for the Island of Negros with the Sixth Infantry, which relieves the California regiment. The Montana and Kansas volunteers are returning from San Fernando and the Twelfth and Ninth regulars will replace them. Senor Luis Marinas, the first Spanish consul general at the Philippine Islands, has arrived from Singapore on board the Isle de Luzon. Delegations from the Spanish organizations on tugs met the steamer and welcomed the consul. The Bantayan correspondent of the Notlciero writes that the gunboat Albany appeared off Bantayan June 8. and her com- , mander told the authorities of the town that unless they declared allegiance to the United States and raised the American flag after fifteen days he would bombard the town. The Albany then sailed, after announcing that she would return. The town when the dispatch was forwarded was panic-stricken, but it was thought that the natives would probably comply with the demand of the gunboat. Otis's Weekly Death Report.

June 25.-Governor Fingree to-day made a statement brought out by Washington dispatches, which quoted Secretary Alger as Faying that Governor Fingree is for President McKinley first, last and all the time. Said the Governor: "If General Alger said that it Is his opinion from hl3 point of view. The question whether I am for McKinley lies with the President, not with me. If Secretary Alger knows that McKinley is opposed to territorial expansion and Is not an advocate of the murders and the destruction being visited on the Innocent Filipinos he has a right to say that I am for McKinley. If General Alger Is informed that McKinley is opposed to trusts and to legislation that fosters, creates and encourages them, and In favor of legislation to restrict and suppress them, then I am closer to the opinions of McKinley than has generally been believed. If General Alger is assurred that President McKinley Is not In touch and In sympathy with the disreputable political methods of Mark Hanna and his friends and deprecates such leader?, then I am for McKinley. The question of whether I favor McKinley Is of no consequence in this senatorial matter, but I am for McKinley In everything he does which I consider right, and against everything he does which I consider wrong." Another Pingree Interview. CHICAGO, June 2. A special to the Tribune, from . Detroit, says: "Governor Fingree, to-day. In an Interview, said: 'The success of General Alger's senatorial campaign will neither be a repudiation nor an Indorsement of the national administration. It will be a repudiation of United States Senator McMillan and his questionable methods; it will be a protest from the great masses of the common people against the rottenness which has run rampant In the State. Whether I am in favor of McKinley or not cuts no figure. General Alger may be an administration man first, last and all the time, and had I been In his position during the time he has held the office of secretary of war. I believe I should have done Just as he has done. And more than that 1 would stand by the guns of my superiors as Alger has done. 1 would not go back on my chief, even if I did think he made a mistake, and that's what Alger may have thought. " (- Views of Senator Burrows. PAINESVILLE, O., June 25. Senator Burrows, of Michigan, is visiting here. In an Interview to-day' he declared that his colleague, Senator McMillan, would be a candidate to succeed himself and would be re-elected next year. Concerning Secretary Alger'3 alliance with Governor Fingree, Senator Burrows said he thought the secretary had destroj'ed what chance he miicht have had to go to the Senate by making such an alliance.

On the witness stand to-day Emil Rollinger, the eleven-year-old son of the defendant, who is considered the most Important witness for the State in the Rollinger wife murder trial, told what a violent temper his father had and of the mysterious disappearance of his mother thirty hours before the house burned, and added: 'Two days before the fire at our house my father told me and mv sister, when we returned from school on Thursday afternoon, that mother had gone to attend a sick neighbor. Friday morning father sent us away to play and in the evening he went out again. Several days before my father was nailing some sticks together in the. form of a sawhorse. He said he was going to make me a little bed. but the next day he made me carry the cross pieces of wood Into mother's bedroom and leave the,m."

DECLINED BY MR. LYNCH

DEPl'TY COXTROLLERSHIP OF THE CURRENCY SOT ACCEPTED. Indianapolis 3Ian Complimented by Secretary tinge and Sir-. Dawes Statement of Imports and Exports. Special to the Indlanarolls Journal. WASHINGTON, June 26. Doth Secretary Gage and Controller Dawes strongly but unavallingly urged on A. D. Lynch, of Indianapolis, his acceptance of the position of deputy controller of the currency, made vacant by the retirement of L. O. Murray. Although grateful for the compliment and for (he kindly insistence of Messrs. Gage and Dawes, Mr. Lynch respectfully declined the appointment. The place Is one of the most honorable and responsible in the Treasury Department, but unfortunately it does not carry with It the salary it should and Mr. Lynch felt he could not make the pecuniary sacrifice involved. This is the third time Mr. Lynch has declined tenders of the same position, each time for the same reason. Mr. Lynch Is in charge of the assets of insolvent national banks, which aggregate nominally $30,000,00), a trust that yields him considerably more than a deputy controllershlp. He Is recognized as peculiarly equipped for the duties he Is now discharging and feels that he ought not to surrender the work into the hands of another at this important stage of liquidation. Mr. Lynch has been connected with the office of controller of currency for twenty-four years. There Is no official In the service who stands higher in the department' or who enjoys to a greater degree the respect of the bankers of the country. An Associated Press dispatch says: "Thomas P. Kane was to-day appointed deputy controller of the currency to succeed Lawrence O. Murray, who recently resigned to accept a position with one of the Xew York trust companies. .Mr. Kane has been connected with the office of the controller of the currency since and has served as confidential secretary of Controllers Trenholm, Lacy, Hepburn, Eckels and Dawes. The detailed tables of the May imports and exports were completed to-day by the treasury Bureau of Statistics. They show the foreign commerce of the month by great classes, compared with that of the corresponding month of last year, as follows: Imports. 1SDS.

This he thought was due to the fact that Dr. Carmichael, of the Marine Hospital Service, who investigated the case, had gone into quarantine and was therefore unable to communicate with Washington. General Wyman was confident that there was no danger of the plague gaining. a foothold in the Hawaiian islands, as the Marine Hospital Service, together with the other health authorities, would, by proper precautionary measures, prevent suspicious cases frorn landing. The plague has never appeared fn the islands, and he thoug-ht never will. If the Nippon Maru is destined for San Francisco, the hsalth officials will take steps to make it absolutely certain that the disease will not have an opportunity to reach the shore. The insular commission has begun the distribution of its full report, a part of which has already been made public. The commission makes the following reference to the subject of trusts and combinations in the island: "By the recommendations already suggested the national law forbidding certain trusts and combinations in matters of interstate trade will be in force in the island as elsewhere, but in addition we shall suggest a law forbidding and punishing the formation and operation of such concerns in the island in accordance with the laws of the States, with perhaps some additional features not yet embodied in any statute. In our endeavors to keen these evils from fettering the business of the Island of Porto Rico in its Infancy." On the question of tariff reform to relieve Porto Rico frorajhe burden of tariff discrimination the commission takes the ground that since the cession of the island to this country has been recognized there is no longer any excuse for regarding' it as foreign temtory and that the President, as the corarnander-ln-chlef of the army, is at liberty to formulate special customs legislation pending the final action of Congress. Mr. Dawes, the controller of the currency, has returned to the city after a months trip to the Northwest. The contributions to the - Dewey home fund received to-day amount to J 178, making the total J10.984. General Davis, at San Juan, Porto Rico, reports that Private George K. McDunnon. Comrany E. Eleventh Infantry, was accidentally drowned there yesterday. . KID M'COY AND "FITZ." Annonnrement Made that They Will FlfcM In September Next. DENVER. June 2.

NEW YORK. June 2S.-Chariey McKcever defeated Owen Zelgler in the seventh round of what was to bo a twenty-tound go, at the Coney Island Athletic Club to-night.

One Frela-hthons Darned and Another Partly Destroyed. TOLEDO, O., June . At noon to-day fire destroyed the Michigan Central freighthouse, partially -destroyed the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton freighthouse, burned 1C0 loaded cars- and entailed a loss amounting to over $300,000. a very small part of which Is covered by Insurance. The blaze was first noticed near the office of the Michigan Central and it broke out almost simultaneously in every part of the freight building, enveloping the place in a mass of flames before the department could be reached. A. heavy wind added to the difficulty of the situation and swept the burning embers across the canal and by the time the fire apparatus reached the scene a solid wall of flame was rising on each side of the water. A dozen or more men who are regularly empiuyed in the freighthouse were fortunately eating their dinner outside and all were accounted for shortly after the blaze was discovered. . After it was evident that the house would be destroyed a hundred men began to get the loaded freight cars otu of the way, but the h?at was so intense that It was perilous work. More than a hundred cars were saved, but as many more filled with every kind of goods were burned and their total loss Is not to be estimated. The freight was nearly all coming to this city. The steamer Valentla. which was at port waiting to be loaded, was saved from the flames, but a steam dredge, valued at $15.OOJ, was soon afire and no means of getting it out of the way was at hand. A large number of small buildings near the freighthouse were burned and a. very fortunate change of the wind alone prevented the Oliver House, a large brick building, from being a total loss. The Michigan Central freighthouse was a new building nnd cost $15,M). It was filled with outgoing goods, as was the warehouse of the C. 11. & D. A train load of cedar posts was entirely destroyed on the C. H. & D. tracks. Two men were seriowly injured. Thomas Hennesy fell from a car and James McGowan was badly burned. The docltg for t-everal hundred feet Is ruined and will cost the railroads thousands of dollars to replace them. Hotel Dnrned. MACON. Ga.. June 26. The Elder House, at Indian Springs, a watering place about twenty miles from here, was destroyed by fire this evening. About a hundred guests were in the building.

The ge'icnl would have the navy yard turned over to the city for the use of the destitute CuIkiiis. who. being immune, would not tufftr hue Americans. It is persistenly rumored here this evening that there has been serious trouble at Nuevitas In connection with the payment of the Cuban troops.- The story Is that the Cubans, after receiving payment, charged the guard and recovered the arms they had surrendered. In American official circles the report is discredited. The authorities have full confidence in Col. Moale, who is in charge of the payment there, and are satisfied that it Is proceeding without collision. La Discussion, commenting editorially on the affray Saturday night in Cienfuegos between the American troops and the locals, says: "This affair must not be taken too seriously, neither should the details be exaggerated. We must admit, however, that its recurrence would endanger the amicable relations between the Cubans and the Americans. The matter would not have been so grave !f only private soldiers had been involved, but this savage act of army officers deserves the severest punishment as an example. A planter was mortally wounded, a policeman was badly injured and the law was disregarded. It all tends to excite the people and provoke more ser ions trouble." ' General Brooke says that the reports of the affair in the Havana papers grossly exaggerate the facts. The trouble was caused by three drunken soldiers, who, to escape the police. Jumped into a carriage belongjng tn Cant. Fenton. He says they will be properly dealt with. . . N The citizens of Pinar del Rio continue their expressions of delight at the act of General Brooke In restoring to office Senor Sanchez, the alcalde who was deposed by Senor Dolz, the civil governor They say that the governor general's course demonstrates his Intention to secure fair treatment for all. General Gomez called upon General Brooke to-day to discuss the lists of invalid officers which, he says, will be left practically unchanged. In any event, the total number will not be in excess of the figures of the first lists. Gomez is using every precaution, he asserts, to secure reliable particulars respecting each applicant. La Lucha, in an editorial to-day dealing with the political future of the Island, says: "No political programme Is possible of execution. The Americans talk about Cuban slowness in organizing, but they place every obstacle in our way. Cuba is to-day an Immense military camp, which It will continue to be just so long as the Americans find that convenient or have a pretext for maintaining the present conditions. The Americans are everything. We are not even a part of the whole. It Is a sad reality, bur for the time being we must reconcile ourselves to the inevitable. Consequently the Cubans should wait until an opportunity Is afforded to form an organization embracing all sections. They should not heed the oratory of a half dozen politicians who claim to embody the spirit of the Cuban people, but really represent nothing save their personal ambitions and interests." At 3 p. m. the temperature in Havana was S3 degrees Fahrenheit. Eleven Deaths from Yellow Fever. SANTIAGO DE CUBA. June 26.

John Dolan, a laborer who makes his living by cutting grass, met death to-night in a peculiar manner. He was crossing Jackscn boulevard at Wood street, pushing before him a lawn mower to which he had tied a sickle. A tandem ridden by Wm. Fahrney, son of a millionaire medicine manufacturer, and Miss Jennie Horenskl. came down the street at a rapid pace. In trying to avoid the tandem Dolan ran to the middle of the street and the riders, in seeking to dodge Dolan, turned in the same direction.

TEDDY SAYS GOOD-BYE ROOSEVELT BIDS FAREWELL TO THE GALLANT ROUGH RIDERS. Band Flayi "A Hot Time" a the Colonel Starts Eitwrd The Parade Reception by Mexicans. LAS VEGAS. N. M., June 26. Governor Rcosevclt was given a royal farewell at IOiOO o'clock this morning, on his departure for New York city.

The train finally pulled out of the. depot on its juurney northward and eastward, the bands struck up the strains of "A Hot Time." the crowd cheered and Roosevelt bid farewell to those who had delighted to do him honor. Meanwhile the enthusiasm of the Rough Riders continued unabated to-day. The Rough Riders' and citizens' parade took place at 10 o'clock, under the command of M. H. Alberger. It was upwards of a mile in length, with a bard of music heading each of the four divisions. The first division consisted of the Rough Riders, guests of the regiment and the citizens' committee having the reunion arrangements in charge. The Albuquerque Band headed this division. The Rough Riders, numbering one hundred, were commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Brodie and lined up regardless of the various troops to which they belonged. The regimental colors that floated on San Juan hill were carried by David L. Hughes, of Tucson, A. T., a member of Troop H. One of the most interesting and unique features of the reunion was a reception tendered to Governor Roosevelt at the Hotel Castaneda, by the Mexican people of the Territory, just before his departure. The most influential and leading people waited upon the noted New Yorker. Felix Martinez, of this city, made the address of welcome, during the course of which he made a rather sensational statement to the effect that he had been informed that the Spanish minister at the City of Mexico privately, but seriously, objected to the visit of the Chihuahua band .to Las Vegas. The objection was based on the assumption that the act of permitting the band to visit this country and assist in celebrating a victory over Bpaln could not, at kast. be considered a friendly attitude toward the vanquished nation. The Spanish minister waited upon President Diaz In an informal way and stated his objections. President Diaz was not of the opinion, however, and allowed the band to come to Las Vegas. Mr. Martinez, as spokesman on behalf of the native people of New Mexico, expressed his hearty sympathy with the cause of the Rough Riders and tendered to Governor Roosevelt his best compliments. Governor Roosevelt responded in his usual happy vein. A letter from General Hernandez, commander of the Rough Riders of New Mexico, was read, expressing his regrets at being unable to be present. Music was rendered by the Chihuahua band. Former Coxeylte Greets Rooaerelt. KINGSLEY, Kan., June 26.
