WAHrtiNOTON, July 0. In a telegram received
nt thu War Department to-dny Mnjor-Gcn.
Otis said that ho had secured 1,000 men for
tlie two roglmonts of volunteurs which ho Is
organizing In tho Philippines. These regi
ments are to bo organized in skeleton formation
nnd tlioir ranks filled by recruits from tho
United States. About 1,(100 recruits nro
needed to complete the formation of both regi
ments. It was tho Intention of tho War De
partment to send tho first volunteers secured
In this country to llll up tho ranks of the
regiments organized by Oen. Otis, but It ts
now likely that tho skeleton commands will be
completed by men specially onllstod for that
purpose, thus not Interfering with iccrult
Ing tho ten othor volunteer regiments to
bo enlisted nt army posts In tho United
Btotes. With tho two rogiments In tho
Philippines complete tho command of Oen,
Otis will bo relnforeod by nearly 10.000 men,
giving him n total force of 40,000 men. two
thirds of whom will bo regulars. Tho men who
have decided to enlist In tho skeleton regi
ments will each receive travel pay from Manila
to the placo of original enlistment in tho
United titates, amounting to about St50 In
most cases, and at thoe.xplrntlonof tholr terms
of sorvlco In tho provisional army will lecelve
freo translocation to tholr homes In this
country. It Is supposed that most of the men
who have ro-enllsted In the 1'hllinplnes be
longed to Stiitn organizations now there
The enlistment ol men for the ten now vol
unteer reclnuintH will begin throughout the
United States to-morrow. Recruiting parties,
nro to bo sent out, ns soon as company oilleers
are appointed, to secure enlistments In towns
where there are no regular recruiting stations.
Men will be sent out nbead to these tow ns with
postets stating thnt recruiting ofllceis will
examino candidates for enlistment oneertnln
dates at sneclllcd places In then towns. For
tlio present most of tlio recruiting will bo done

absolute denial to the sworn stntument mnde
by George F. Dell, that he stole tho letter be
longing to Lieut. Carranza, the Spanish Naval
Attache, nnd that a forged lettor was sent out
by the United Stntes 8ecrt Service
Kcllurt tells an entirely different story of how
Cnrrnnza's letter wns. obtained, Kcllert says
tho Carranza lotter was stolen by ilalph lled
fern. now chief of the United Statos Secret
Service at lloston, who visited tho house on
Tupper strcot occupiod by tho Spaniards, lled
fern found a lottor on Carranza's tablo which
he appropriated. The lettor was In an envelope
and sealed. Redfern went at once to the United
States Consulate and turned the letter over to
Consul-Oenernl llltilnger, who Immediately
sent It to Washington. Kellort snys that
although he was arrested forsteallng tho letter
ho kept lledfem's seerot up to tho present.
Kellert's story Is corroborated by Consul-General
llittlnger.
Tho Spanish representatives nre expected to
take some action. In view of Hull's statement.
Seflnr Hypollo de I'nnrte. Consul-Oennral,
made the following stntement to-dny: "I havo
forwnrdod a copy of Bell's confession to Madrid,
nnd will nwnlt Instructions before proceeding to
lnko ony steps. Tho matter Is n very delicate
one. and ns I am n stranger to the situation,
not having been in Canada at the time. I shall
not net officially in tho matter until I receive
word from my Government. I shall gather
what facts I can and bo prepared to go ahead.
I suppose If there Is any truth In the confes
sion of Hull thnSpnnlHli Minister at Washing
ton will communicate with me. Seflor Car
ranza was ordered from hre upon the docu

The Harlem Domocratlc Club ot 10il West
l'Jiith street hns a btnnd new snf.eand not
without a reason. Isaac A. Hopper, the Presi
dent of the club, is the Hopper who Is leading
former Police Justice Weldo a dnuco for the
Tammany Hall leadership ot tho Thirty-llrst
Assembly district. Tho Harlem Democratic,
Club has indorsed him as against Wclde, and so
har the Cntondolet Club and the Osceola
Club. The only other Democratic organiza
tion In the district Is non-corr.mUtn1. That Is
the Sagamore Club, whore Welde makes his
headquarters.
Some tlmo slnco twenty-five members ot the
Carondelet Club, who hold city jobs, rrere sum
moned to Judge A elite's house by Peter P.
Meyer, Richard Croker's partner, and were
old Unit thty must r'.slgn Ii jm tho Ornndlt
nnd support Weldo for leader or hunt for other
jobs. They resigned. Just previous to their
enforced oalDit Judge VWIJe's Iioubo. John 1'.
Fuwcett. a member of tlio Caroudelet I lub.
had need of the club books. Thoy could not
be found.
Thou Mr. Fnwcett smelled a rat. Clarence
J Irving, tho Coi responding Secretary of tho
club, Is Weldo's private secretary. Mr l'aw
cett looked him up, and Mr. Irving, It is al
leged, admitted that he had the books, but re
fused to give them up until ho was threatened
with proceedings t rocovor them. Then hu
snld thnt. the Looks were at I'eidinand Nigel's
saloon, nt I'J.'uh street and Paik avenue, nnd,
sure enough, Mr. Fawcett found them there.
Tho Hopper lieutenants declared that .Merer
got his list ot twenty-live, names bv comparing
a list ot city employees with the boDks of tlio
C.itondelet Club, which Irving had se
cured for him. Last week Edward W.
Knowl,- the negro janitor of the Harlem
Democratic Club, hunted up Mr. Hop
per und told him thnt n tall, heavily built
man with a red mustache had watlaid him on
the street three times nnd had offered him
'J50 for thi club books. Ho said that ?."0
was shown hlni and offered as Immediate pay
ment to bind the tinrgain. Knowl said that he
rofusod. and Unit the stranger then olfered
him f."0 to report what occurred at the club
meetings.
It was on this information that the Harlem
DomocrntloClubgotlts uewsafe.and the books
and papers now rest securely in It. It was
feared that a list ot oflleelioMInc club members
might b drawn up as complete ns was the
Cnrondolct lis.', and that Invitations would be
