All officers whose presence is prescribed by drill regulations, excepting the officer of the day post staff officers, and every available enlisted man, will attend ill mounted drills of their respective organizations. Men left in charge of quarters will be reduced to and kept at the minimum number consistent with safety. Drill hours should be so arranged that the old guard fatigue can attend without interfering with necessary fatigue duty. Recruits should be taken up for duty as soon as practicable.

The period of preliminary instruction will vary with the aptitude of the man, but will not exceed one month. In exceptional cases which appear to require a longer period request for desired extension of time will be made to these headquarters."

the office the surgeon general of the army ftill credence is given to the cabled reports from the Philippines that there have been more than 25,000 cases and more than 18,000 deaths from cholera in the island of Luzon alone since the outbreak of the disease. In fact, it was admitted that in the outlying districts of the island it is entirely possible that the number of deaths may have exceeded by three times the number reported to MAY BE ARBITRATED. PROSPECT FOR SETTLEMENT OF LAFAYETTE STRIKE. Committee Began the Investigation of the Conditions This Morning. LAFAYETTE, Aug.

President Fred Meyer, of the Eetail Merchants' association, the arbitration committee appointed by the association late yesterday afternoon succeeded in obtaining the consent of the street railway company to submit the traction labor trouble the board of arbitration, the company agreeing to abide by the decision as final. As the consent of the strikers already had been secured, the strike and boycott undoubtedly will be settled in a few days. The committee began the sessions of investigation this morning and will continue until the matter is thoroughly probed, taking sworn evidence from both sides. One condition imposed by both company and strikers is that the decision to be binding shall be unanimous. It is thought that, as the merchants are very desirous of ending the distasteful boycott, there will be no difficulty in reaching a unanimous agreement.

The break in the clouds that have hovered over the situation for some time is very happily received throughout the city. Superintendent C. D. Emmons was in Indianapolis today trying to close a deal to bring the employes of the Big Four railway here for their annual picnic next Saturday. The railroad men say they will not come here and ride in cars to Tecumseh Trail unless the cars are manned by union men.

President of the Central Labor union, offered to provide eighteen union men for the cars Saturday in order that the business interests of the city may not suffer. The Big Four picnic, if it is held here, will bring 5,000 persons here. Mr. Emmons said he MORGAN AND BftER CONFER, BELIEVED TO BE IN CONSULTATION ON THE COAL STRIKE.

gone out too far," said the wife, "for, when he tried to return he found that the tide was too strong and that it was carrying him out to sea. He fought with the waves as hard as he could, but after a- while he felt himself sinking and became unconscious. He remembered nothing more until he regained consciousness a long, time afterward and found himself in a bunk in the forecastle of a boat. He afterward learned that it was a fishing smack from New London. My husband says that the sailors were kind.

They gave him water and some of their food. The only remark that he heard them make about his rescue was' that he was clinging to a piece of spar about four miles out at sea, when they lowered a boat and picked him up." Mrs. Hollenberg ridiculed the suggestion that her husband might have been away on a spree and invented his story. She said that he is a man who does not average three drinks a week, and was never under the influence of liquor. Riot at Summit Hill.

TAMAQUA, Pa. Aug. 20. The troops encamped at Manila Park near here had a hurried call to arms this morning about 5 o'clock. At Summit Hill the strikers were out in force.

A special trolley car that has made its trips regularly every morning, carrying non-union men to work, was held up for the first time and two men were taken off and badly Two companies of the Twelfth regiment arrived in time to quiet the wild scenes and escorted the men through the mob back to the car. At on'i time the mob closed in on the soldiers, but the order of "Draw bayonets" dispersed them. GREAT PROSPERITY. LONDON TIMES PAYS TRIBUTE TO COMMERCIAL GROWTH. Comments on Rapid Strides of United States Within the Last Five Years.

LONDON, Aug. an editorial upon the economic situation in the United States, the Times today declares that the 'position of America has considerably for the better in the past five years. The whole country is now richer. Kecent developments of American enterprise had begun to create misgivings and people of experience thought that the great financiers were taking chances which could not be regarded as satisfactory for their creditors in America. It now seems, the paper says, as if the dice have fallen kindly for the big houses.

There will be big exports of grain to Europe and plenty of means for Americans to borrow fresh money. AT WORK ON THE CODE. BILL AND AMENDMENT REFERRED TO COMMITTEE, Senator Hanna Called in Consultation by the Legislators. COLUMBUS, 0., Aug. senate met at 10 o'clock today.

Mythical Enemy Will Attempt to Capture Harbor and Effect Landing. MANY WAR VESSELS. Fifteen Battleships, Crusiers and Gunboats Will Aid in the Assault. NEW YOKK. Aug.

General MacArthur made public today the text of the rules for the coming army and navy maneuvers. The scheme of operations is based upon the assumption that, in anticipation of a declaration of hostilities, a strong hostile fleet determines to make a dash on the eastern entrance of Long Island s-cnind to secure a naval base, in the expectation of finding- the land forces in an unprepared condition. The periods of the maneuvers are to be divided into two distinct phases--period of preparation and period of hostilities. During the first period there will be a day attack and a night attack by the fleet, and if possible a bombardment and the forcing of a passage. Will Seem Like War.

During the ensuing period mines and obstructions may be planted by the defense, and the conditions of war are to be followed as closely as possible. On the part of the army the information to be gained relates to the general efficiency, down to the smallest detail, of all that appertains to the construction and armament of the land defenses. The navy will concern itself with the best means of obtaining ranges, the effect of mines and obstructions, formations of attack, efficiency of signals, the use the big band is holding the fort in the center of the big field. They have staked out their horses and will not be allowed to go beyond the bounds of the quarantine line, which is designated by the fence surrounding tho field. They will be kept fed by the county until every vestige of the disease has disappeared.

The expense will fall to Henry county since the band was stopped over the county line. DEATH OF MRS. AULTMAN. Leaves $200,000 to Public Institutions in Ohio. CANTON, 0., Aug.

CROWDS LAST NIGHT. Attendance Larger on Opening Night Than Was Anticipated--Program for the Week. This was children's day for the fall festival, and tlie children embraced every opportunity to enjoy themselves. The parade of children started from the court house square at 2 o'clock, headed by the Ladies' Cornet band of Waterloo. The pretty musicians played sweet music as the long line of children followed them to the festival grounds.

The band girls wear shirt waists of white and ma- rooii skirts trimmed in gold braid. They wear jaunty caps and march along with a military air. The young girls under 12 who assembled at the court house at 1:30 this afternoon were formed in line by Grand Marshal John B. Monning, assisted by Deputy Marshals Harry Wiebke and Dr. Williams.

The procession of little girls was headed into the midway gate before the boys were started on the march; It is estimated that there were at least 4,000 of searchlights, and the general control of. artillery fire.

In many of the districts where the ravages of the disease are most severe there is no way of obtaining reports of either cases or deaths. The energies of the army physicians and of the Marine hospital service are being directed towards controlling the disease in and around Manila and particularly towards keeping it off shipping so as to prevent its getting transported to the United Every ship leaving Manila is carefully inspected and disinfected and is kept in quarantine for five full days before being allowed to sail.

The result of this work has been completely satisfactory. Dr. Sprigg Wilson, who is just back from the Philippines, said today that he doubted whether it would be possible to get the disease under control until heavy rains fall throughout Luzon. When the great rains come the disease will be checked, and medical science can then do the work of stamping it out. But the efforts towards checking the disease in the country districts and villages until the land is thoroughly washed by rains are almost futile.

The boat capsized and -all were thrown into the water time, but the natives of MUNCIK, Aug. partial failure of natural gas in the Indiana gas belt has resulted in marked benefit to the manufacturers of bottles in the east.

Since the Indiana gas field has been developed and the fuel became cheap compared with coal the manufacturers of bottles in eastern states have been unable to successfully compete with the manufacturers of this section, and consequently many of them have been driven out of business. Now that the gas seems to be failing the eastern manufacturers are taking courage, it is said, and are expecting to be able to compete with the western men, who have been more fortunate as to fuel. Glass men look for stiffened prices as a result. SOFT COAL EYE EPIDEMIC. Philadelphia Surgeons Find Name for Trouble Due to New Fuel.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. the advent of soft coal in this city has come an epidemic of what is termed "soft coal eye." Two hospital surgeons discovered the disease and gave it a name.

The wild animal show and the Burmese midgets were next, with the others 'all about even in their ticket receipts. This was satisfactory to all of the show people on the grounds and all seemed pleased with the business on the opening night of the carnival. The illuminations, together with the.

decorations on Calhoun strest last night, made that thoroughfare a lively rendezvous for all pedestrians last night.
