VACANCIES T0 0CCUR War Department Sanguine That the Philippine Insurrection Is Nearing an End. e Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Headquarters, Wellington Hotel, | Washington, Aug. 30. ‘When President McKinley returns to | Washington he will discuss with Sec retary Root the ppointment of officers | to vacancies existing in the grades of | major gene and brigadier general. | The increase of the army, regular and | volunteer, to 96,000 men will increase | the list of major generals to eight and that of brigadier general to twenty- four. There are in the service to-day | | seven major generals and twenty-one | | brigadier generals. The retirement of | General Shafter on October 16 will cre- | ate another vacancy in the grade of major general of volunteers and a va- cancy in the grade of brigadier general of the regular army. The President will therefore have authority, after Oc- tober 16, to appoint two major generals | and as it is generally understood that | Generals Jam Smith and Frederick Funston are shortiy to return to the United ates from the Philippines and | be mustered out the President will have five brigadier generals to dispose of. Undoubtedly it is the intention of the administration to leave some brigadier | general appointment | that some unusual display of gallantry | !in the operations in the Philippin { may be promptly rewarded. One v: | cancy now ' existing in the grade | major general will be and the name of Brigadier General | James H. Wilson, now on duty in Cuba, is mentioned in its connection. Un doubtedly the vacancy will be filled by the promotion of a brigadier general. | | | | | of promptly filled | Admini ion officials seem un- usually confident that it will not be long before the insurrection in_the | archipelago is brought to an end. When | sed to state the information upon > their confident state- ments they decline to answer. It is known, hov er, there have been no recent advices from General Otis and so far as known nothing has come from the commissioners now at Manila. It is undoubtedly expected that the moral effect of the assignment of so many troops to the eighth corps will be bene- | ficial. | Before his departure from Washing- | ton to-day Secretary Root discussed with General Ludington, quartermaster general, the question of transportation of the ten regiments organized and ten being recruited. Two of these regi- ments are now ready for transportation | and will probably be sent from New York and the remainder will sail from {San Francisco. Three of the latter | volunteer regiments will be sent from New York. General Ludington in- formed Secretary Root that there will be no difficulty in securing plenty of transports for the regiments being or- | ganized, but more difficulty will be ex- | perienced in getting the regiments ready to sail off for nila. Orders have been given by General Ludingtc directing that the steamer Psyche, | which has been used for transportation | of animals, be transformed into a pas- | senger ship as rapidly as possible. - AGUINALDO ORDERS AN ATTACK ON IMUS| Americans Intrenching the Town and Have No Fear as to the Result of the Fight. MANILA, Aug. 30.—It is reported that Aguinaldo, the Filipino leader, has or- dered the rebel generals in the province of | Cavite to close in on and attempt to take | the town of Imus, and it is added that | troops are concentrating around the town from the lake country The rebels, it is further said, have an | outpost of 700 men on the Dos Marinas road and_an equal force in the town of Anabo.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 3.—On the au- thority of an American just returned here from Nicaragua, where he has lived for | the past seven vears, it Is stated that | there recently took place a secret confer- | ence between President Zelaya of Nicar- agua and President Terencia Sierra of | Honduras, the purpose of which was to | effect an offensive alliance between those two countries for an invasion of Costa Rica. The conference took place at Amapala, Honduras, the chief seaport on the Pa. cific side, and it is stated that war be- tween the allies and the Costa Ricans is | bound to eventuate. The casus belli is contained In the fact that Nicaragua is | intent upon regaining from Costa Rica the province of Guanacaste, the boundary line between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, and which is adjacent to the propose: route of the Nicaragua Canal. This prov- | ince formerly belonged to Nicaragua but | was wrested from the latter country in the last struggle with Costa Rica, It is likewise stat that $30,000 in gold has been shipped to Hamburg, and that the father-in-law of President Zelaya is now in Belgium for the purpose of huyn-.fig up arme for the allied forces; also that $35,000 in gold has been shipped to Zelaya's agents in New York for the same purpose.

C., Aug. 30.—The steamer Empress of China arrived this | morning from Hongkong and Yoko- | hama. She reports that Japan has suf- | fered severely from three or four ter- | rible fires. The most extensive fire for many years in Yokohama occurred in the native town August 12. About | twenty streets were destroyed, includ- ing the business part of the town. The | number of houses destroyed is report-; ed to be about 10,000, including four theaters, an elementary school, the Postoffice and telegraph office and a ce station. een lost their lives in the flames while many others swam across the | canal and had narrow escapes. The | losses of insurance companies are esti- | mated at some $400,000, while the actual loss is several millions. Globe trotters will regret to hear | that the famous theater street is de- | stroyed from end to end. As a system | of fire insurance has not yet gained much hold in Japan on account of the inflammable nature of the houses the disaster falls heavily upon the home- people. Some of them, strongly law, formed a mob and proceeded to | attack the owner of the house in which | the fire originated, and the man has died of his wounds. The city of Toyama was destroyed by fire the same day. Six' thousand houses were burned. | The Kencho police department, pre- fectural, assembly hall, police station, . commercial school, post and telegraph office, city offices, hospi- tal, three newspaper offices, exchange building and the building of the Kwan- sai Industrial Exhibition to be held next year, which was in course of con- struction, are among the places re- duced to ashes. The distress in Yokohama and To- vama is very great. Subscriptions were raised. Thelr majesties the Em- peror and Empress presented $6500 toward the relief fund at Toyama and $3500 for the same purpose at Yoko- hama. Commander Kataoka has been or- dered by his Majesty to visit Toyama | | and report on the condition of the suf- ferers, and Viscount Horota has been | ordered to visit Yokohama for a sim- | ilar purpose. | It is stated that the number of suf- | ferers from T ma who are receiving | relief is over 1500. The losses of the | estimated at $140,000, and the losses of the inhabitants burned out are esti-| mated at $5,000,000 for houses only. | At Hakodate on August 11 eleven houses were destroved by fire. Five persons were burned to death. On August 15 fire broke out at Shiori, Yokohuka, and about fifty houses were destroyed A disastrous fire is reported from Formosa on the 5th inst. Fire broke out at Hokugata during a heavy gale, blowing the flames in all directions with startling rapidity, and some 200 houses were burned. At Kobe, on August 15, considerable damage was caused by a typhoon. The steamer Argyll dragged her moorings | and was carried broadside on the sand. She was apparently undamaged. There will be delay in getting her off and dis- patching her to her destination, New York.
