Duty Which Has Become Obnoxious to the Volunteers. The President Expected to Recom- mend an Increase in the Army— Use of Natives Suggested. The request of the Ist Colorado Infantry to be returned from Manila to the United States cannot be granted by the War De- partment. It was stated by officers of the army today that such requests have been frequent from soldiers of volunteer organi+ zations, who enlisted to fight, but do not relish garrison duty. The desire of this regiment to return home is similar to the desire of other volunteers, and it is re- garded as perfectly natural that these men want to return to their homes and their usual vocations, rather than serve some what listlessty In gatttsoning towns in dis- tant countries. Nothing can be done, it is id, until Congress meets and provides for some Kind of a force to take the places of the volunteers. The subject of reorganizing the army with a view to securing an adequate force for the new poss nis of the United States has already ed the serious con- sideration of the President, the Secretary of War and officers of the army. The Pres- ident will make recommendations to Con- gress on this subject, embodying his and the views of those who are in position to give him the very best advice. Proposed Increase of the Army. It Is probable that the President will rec- ommend an increase of the regular army to something like 100,000 men, although this is not certain, and he may find that is enough. There has also been some ta of enlisting for garrison duty two com- panies or a battalion of natives to each regiment doing garrisen duty in Cuba, Por- to Rico and the Philippines. It is believed by this method a considerable portion of s population of the islands, and esp those who have borne arms in the insurgent or Spanish armies, might be usefully employed. It is conceded by offi- cers of the army that the duties devolving upon the troops unde » new order of things cannot be satis to volunteers, and that an army will have to be raised, which will go where it is sent without complaints of any kind. Men who enlist in the regular army here- after will understand that they are likely to be called upon at any time to go out of the country and to do garrison duty in dis- tant lands for long periods. It is believed that the demands which have been made upon senators and representatives for the muster out of volunteer regiments and the char} lunteers In regiments which have remained in the service have been so great that they will be convinced that reg- ular troops are absolutely nece: for garrison duty in the new pos: — SAYS NOT G JURY ILTY.

REFERRED TO ATTORNEY. Questions Affecting Building Regu- lations and Private Rights. Mr. W. P. Kellogg several days ago called the attention of the District to a per- mit issued by the building inspector for a stabie on lot 12, block 6, in Commissioners’ subdivision of Washington Heights, it be- ing claimed by Mr. Kellogg that the per- mit was granted in violation of the building regul, He also stated that a wall has been constructed on the lot which pro- Jects Into and occupies a part of the side- walk. ‘The matter was referred to Capt. Beach, ths Engineer Commissioner, upon whose recommendation it was then referred to the attorney for the District for a full opinion. In recommending the reference of the matter to the attorney, Captain Beach in- dorsed the complaint,’ stating the provi- sions of the building regulations to be “the line of demarcation between the pub- He and private space,” ar@ saying: “I would recommend that the paper be referred to the attorney for opinion as to whether the District can, and should, take account of the private building line referred to, which established simply by an arrangement or agreement between private parties, and whether the building inspector's office is required to re ize the line in the issue of permits. “The mmissioners’ subdivision of Washington Heights, lying between Florida P wth street, Columbia road tions a - 3 and isth street. occupies an unique position in the District. in that the building restric- tion line was laid down by the court when the property Was subdivided upon the pe- tition of the owners. “Opinion is, therefore, requested concern- ing the extent to which the office should observe this building restriction line, and the duties of the office in retitfon thereto. A full opinion upon the relation of the office to these cases is advisable.” > Proceedings in Criminal Court. The introduction of testimony in the case of George H.

CUBA AND PORTO RICO|IN ANNU ML SESSION|THE PA Important Matters Oousidered by the Cabinet. The Collection of Revenues and Gov- ernment of the Islands Discuss- ed at Length. The cabinet today devoted most of its at- tention to consideration of questions con- nected with the administration of affairs in Cuba and Porto Rico. The administrative feature of the Philippine question also re- ceived some attention. So far as the cabinet discussion touched upon Cuba and Porto Rico, it was the pur- pese to develop the views of the different members of the cabinet as to the best means of collecting the revenues and cus- toms, providing some means of equalizing the duties which will be collected locally upon imports from the United States as well as from other countries, and providing for the peaceful and satisfactory govern- ment of the cities and towns until such time as Congress shall have ordered other- wise. A Military Government. It Is the intention of the Prestdent to rraintain a military government In both Cuba and Pofto Rico for the time being, but his purpose ts also to mitigate the harsher features of such form of govern- ment so far as lies within his power. For Irstance, there was taken into serlous con- sideration a view put forth by Secretary Alger, that it would be well in Cuba to use the Cuban soldiers, who seemed to be fitted for such work, as a local police force or gendarmerie, possessed in a measure of both the power of the police and the sol- dier. There are several strong arguments which the War Department has put forth as suf- ficient to justify the adoption of this ccurse, -In the first place, honorable and profitable employment would be given to a ecnsiderable proportion of «the Cubsn sol- diers, who might otherwise, in the absence of individual employme2nt, drift into evil courses or become a dissatisfied and dan- gercus element in the community. In the second place, these men, being thoroughly acquairted locally with places, the habits of the Spanish-Americans and ud be much more service- able as police than American soldiers, Al- ready some of the evils attending the em- p.oyment of the latter have been ex enced at Manila and Santiago, the results being sometimes comical and at others rious in the misunderstanding that arose between the soldiers and the people. $+ 0+ _______ = GARRISONING the language, wo TH CUBA. oF No Change Made in the War Depart- ment's Plans. There has been no change in the plans of the War Department about the sending of troops to Cuba. No date has ever been fixed when troops shall depart, and the only thing that bas been determined upon is that the control of the island shall pass to the United States January 1. Attempts have bee made to make it appear that the death of Col. Warirg from yellow fever h changed the pians of the department. Thi is not trie. When Gen.

The principal of cers of the board, Cols. Hecker and Lee, have been ordered to Washington, and their reports will be carefully considered before any troops are sent to Cuba. Another feature of the case is that the epartmeat does not wish to have any clash with the Spanish troops in the occu- pation of different towns: The department intends to send United States troops into Cuba just as fast as the Spanish troops evacvate. Owing to the climatic conditions, the United States has not been pressing for immediate evacuation, requesting only that reasonable progress be made by the Span- ish authoritles in getting the Spanish troops home. ——_—_—__-+ «+ TO LEAVE THE SERVICE, Generals Who Will Be Honorably Discharged From the Army.

A cablegram received at the Navy De- partment last evening announced the ar- rival at Bahia, Brazil, of the battle ships Oregon and lowa. They are nineteen days from Tompkinsville, making an exception- al smooth and rapid run down the coast. The collier Abarenda, now lying at Bahia, consumed thirty-four days in making the came trip. Because of her lack of speed she probably will be allowed to return to the United States instead of going along to Honolulu, as was intended. The battle ships will stop at Bahia for a few days, replenishing their coal bunk- ers from the Abarenda and the Celtic, and then will proceed to Rio, where they are to take part in the great demonstration there on November 15 to commemorate the anniversary of the birth of the republic of Brazil. en Halloween Celebrants Shot. 2GON, Mich., November 1.—Leslte 3 year-old boy, was shot He was among other boys having some Halloween sports about the premises of Michael Burns, an aged man.

The Cosmos Club also will be a place of social gathering during the convention. The members of the institute assembled at lv o'clyck this morning and spent half an hour in registering their names end in friendly conversation. They are well-dress- ed, tine-looking men, and, judging from the program of papers to be real, the topics to come under discussion will be of more than oidinary general interest.

Hopes of That Party in California— All for Extension of Territory. Special Correspencence of The Evening Star. SAN FRANCISCO, October 27, 1898. Greater enthusiasm and greater interest has marked the republican campaign in this state, this fall, than has been known for years. The people are simply brim- ming over with politics, and to say that there is any apathy in California ts to grossly misrepresent the situation. Mass meetings are of nightly occurrence, and prominent speakers from all over this great western country are holding the at- tention of the voters. Perhaps no greater enthusiasm has ever marked a political campaign of any orator than that which has followed Webster Davis, the assist- ant secretary of the interior. He has made the western circuit, everywhere attracting the attention of the intelligent voters, who listen with rapt attention to his glowing tributes to the administration and his clear enunciation of the principles of repub- licanism at the present time. He has proven himself a spell-binder, and the old est politicians in the siate are unanimous in his praise. He spoke at Sacramento, the other evening, and fifteen thousand in- telligent men listened with marked atten- tion for two hours to his speech. It was, in a large degree, directed to the great principles of republicanism, the treatment of the war by the present administration, the large benefits that had accrued to this country from a protective tariff and the great future that was in store for the west by reason of our conquests in the east. The people along this sunny slope of California and all imperialists, if by that is meant an extension of territory, for they want to see new markets opened up for the great products of the west. Our farm- ers and our manufacturers have learned the lesson in the eastern part of this coun- they know that the exorbitant freight irges make it impossible for them to compete wih their eastern brothers. And .S a consequence the west is suffering for an outlet. Its magnificent climate, Its large atd varied resources should give it position second to none in the export They want the Philippines. They will support the party that will maintain the sovereignty of the United States in th They realize that with the Philippines a United States possession the outlet has been found for western products. Goods can be shipped from almost any of the western country, now, to the Philip- pines at a rate less than would carry them to the Mississippi. Throughout this campaign the democrats have sought to make capital out of what they denominate “Algerism;” but that bomb-shell which they expected to work such havoc with the republican party has long since spent its force, and the soldiers themselves now realize that everything was done for their comfort that, under the circumstances, could be done. The old sol- dier is in line, despite the claims made by the anti-admi:istrationists that the In- terior Department was inimical to the interests of the old pensioners; they real- ize from the reports that have been pub- lished that their condition is far better at the present time than ever before. The republican party in California has er been better organized than at the sent time, and the vote this year will be larger than that cast in the last presi- dential clection, and it 1s predicted by the republican managers that the republican nominees will receive overwhelming ma- jorities. The state is safely republican, and every one is looking forward to a grand corroboration of this when the polls are closed in a few day Mr. Cridler Coming Home.

Edwards today swor2 out warrants for the arrest of Mrs. Marian Crosby, Mrs. D. J. Connell, M: Mary Wil- liams and Lewis Pearce, on the charge of assaulting himself and his deputy, J. M. Leach, while they were serving a writ of replevin at the hous? occupied by Mrs. Crosby and the other defendants named, at 3 E street northwest, late yesterday afternoon. These warrants are the first of the kind issu>d, and action was not taken by Mr. Edwards until after United States At- torney Henry E. Davis heard tha state- ments of himself and others, and de- Dz ASSAULT, efded that the alleged course of the defendants was in violation of sec- tion 5398, Revised Statutes of the United States, which provides that “Every person who knowingly and willfully ob- structs, resists or opposes any officer of the United’ States in serving or attempting to serve or execute any mesne process or war- rant, or any rule or order of ary court of the United States, or any other legal or judicial writ or process, or assaults, beats, or wounds, any officer or other person duly authorized In serving or executing any writ, rule, order, process or warrant, shall be imprisoned not more than twelve months and fined not more than $300.” Mr. Edwards stated today that while en- voring to secure possession of Leach’ trunk by means of a writ of replevin is- sued by Justice L. C. Strider, Mrs. Crosby and the other defendants assaulted him in the face, and also handied his deputy in an especially rough manner. It is expected that the cases will come up before United States Commissioner Mills tomorrow, ee WILL FILED FOR PROBATE. Two Subsequent Instruments Prepar- ed, but Neither in Evidence. The will of the late Marietta L. Wil- Hams, daied July 10, 1882, has been filed for probate. The entire estate of the de- ceased is bequeathed her brother, William M. Williams, and in the event of his death to Annie Bailey, Kate Duck and Martha Duck. cousins. Rufus N. Tilton and Henry Potbury are named as executors. Accompanying the will is a letter from Mr. Tilton, one of the executors named, explaining that two other wills were made by Miss Williams subsequent to the fore- going, the first being destroyed and the second never found. As there is no con- troversy over the estate, Mr. Tilton says, it seems to him that the will made in 1882 should be filed, with the papers in the case, for preservation therewith. ——— Simplicity in Art. From the New York Herald. Meissonier said of Puvis de Chavannes, “He has achieved the grand style in dec- orative art; it is so simple, so well bal- anced, so logical.” Is not this a lesson for young American students, so many of whom are striving to reach the goal of meritorious distinction, if not fame? Sim- piicity and fidelity to nature are sure to win finally in the contest with degenerate and bizarre effects. ———_> «+ _____ Grain, Provisions and Cotton Markets. Furnished by W. B.

MANHATTAN IN GOOD ee DEMAND The Coal Shares Bore Brunt of the Selling. GENERAL MARKET REPORT Sa, Special Dixpatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 1.—The factory outlook in anthracite coal cir Was the incentive to considerable selling throughout the coal group this morning Delaware and Hudson, for special reasons, and the neighboring anthracite coal-carr: ing reads, were easily depressed under the ecmbined influence of liquidation and short selling. The professional sid> of the market was unsati more pronounced than yesterday, and ts expected to remain so until after the elec- tions. For a time there was an effort to con tinue the upward movement in the spe- calties, but partial and temporary success alone resulted. A new high level was made in tobacco under a continued de- mand from inside sources, but later in the day a decline of more than 5 per cent was recorded. Rumors of a legal protest ag the transfer of the company’s plug ness to an independent corporation used to assist the depression. The aimost uninterrupted advance to 3% per cent was alone sufficient reason for at- tracting sales of both long and short stock. in b were The future course of the pro and the numerous rivals of recent birth is as mys- terious and as doubtful as ever. Conse- quently, the public inte limited tr. a ver! rrobable influence The Federal Ste conside: n the general list. 1 issues, particularly the preferred stock, made some headway for a time, the advance in the latter extending to 1 per cent from yesterday's prices. The declines cisewhe! ave the market such # ragged appearance that these shares yielded to some profit-taking on specul ativ hols 3. These reactions met a rather good inside den-and, however, and th> dividend pros pect is kept well to the front as the chief item of support. The beginning of melting operations on the part of the new Doscher refinery and the statement that the production of re- fined sugars is already in excess of th trade demand was the occasion of son new selling of the American company’s stock. This stock has been given a relative a. peararce of strength as the result of cov- ering during the last few days, but there is small reason for attributing the buying to a desire for permanent ownership Manhattan was bought in fair volume, the price responding easily to the demand. The advance in these shares is almost invariably accompanied with rumors of a change either in ownership or motive power. Both results are regarded as among the more likely remote prospects for tm- provement. The Granger shar were not active and reflected the professional, hesitating char- acter of the general market The bond market keeps strong under a good investment demand, and is just now more indicative of confidence than fs t Stock list London's celebration of All Saints’ day contributed moderately to the local dull- ness. > FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
