< onstruetiiiR Fortification*.
Washington, June 30.—The only or
der which the president has given con
cerning the enlistment of a larger army
is that recruiting shall continue at all
of the present recruiting stations until
further orders. The 05,000 quota for
the regular array has already been ex
ceeded.so that all new recruits will have
to be charged to the provisional array
of 35,000 men. No limit is to be put on
the number of enlistments. There are
70 recruiting stations in the United
States. These have been furnish
ing on an average of about 1.00C
men a week for the regulars. The
term of their enlistment, lias been for
three years. The president and secre
tary of war have decided that the vol
unteers' term shall be for two years
instead of three. This shortened time
will, it is calculated, stimulate the num
ber of applicants for service abroad.
The military authorities believe that
the entire additional force will be re
cruited in less than two months with
out increasing the number of recruit
ing: stations, but a much better record
than that is possible. Tlie war depart
ment has determined to avoid the
demoi-alizincr >• £T".>i*t of "Ui
much as possible. The enlisted men will
be mixed so thoroughly that one state
will not have any more interest in a
regiment than another. Consequently
the volunteer regiments will l*> as free
from the interference of congressmen
anti state officials as the movement of
the regular is. Individual discharges
will be refused in the volunteer service
as in the regular except on the recom
mendation of the officer immediately
in command of a soldier or for some
cause disabling a man from military
service, in other words, the new force
is to he in as close imitation of the
regulars as can be.
The first Volunteers to be raised for
service ia the Philippines will be those
for the skeleton regiments now being
formed by Gen. Otis. It is not believed
there will be the least difficulty in ob
taining these men. It is probable that
some time will elapse before the troop-,
of the provisional army are sent to
Manila, but meanwhile they will be.
drilled and taught marksmanship in
camp. It is estimated that three
months are required to make soldiers
of recruits. The officers of the war de
partment think that a number of vol
unteers now coining home will do
st re .to return to the Philippines for
a short service after they have had
an opportunity to see home and
friends. These men are regarded as
the most desirable for the regiments
being organized by Gen. Otis. It is
learned at the war department that
there is no rush to get the new organ
izations to Gen. Otis at the present
time. The rainy season having set in.
it is not believed that these troops will
be necessary for service, except to re
lieve those who have been on active
duty. The announcement that a por
tion of the provisional army was to be
raised has caused a swarm of politi
cians to be sent to the war department

Filipino* Constructing Fortification*.
Victoria, B. C., June 30.—Advices
from Hakodate state that t apt. Saki
chi, of the steamer llokoku Maru, just
returned from the Philippines, reports
that in the southern islands the young
Filipinos are constructing fortifications
against emergencies. Every port is
garrisoned by a thousand or so volun
teers. whose weapons, however, are
very crude, only about 20 per cent,
of them being armed with rifles
(Remington’s). They are. however, full
of patriotism and state that they will
not yield to the Americans, though the
whole of the islands are destroyed.
The llokoku Maru was warmly wel
comed by the Filipinos, who consider
the Japanese to be of a kindred race
anil hoped for assistance from them.
The Filipinos were prepared to pay for
arms and ammunition, and said the
Japanese vessels visiting the islands
could take return cargoes of hemp.
Capt. Sakichi says he only sold the in
surgents two revolvers and the cooks
knives. __ _
Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when a favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage of
it. A little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep a
bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhma remedy in the house,
the shiflleas fellow will wait until
necessity compels it and then ruin h’s
best horae going for a doctor and have
a big doctor bill to pay, besides: one
pays nut 26 cents, the other is out a
hundred dollars and then wonders
why his neighbor is getting richer
while he is getting poorer. For sale by
