THE EVENING CALL. Vol. X. No. 228 CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS. The Administration Will Ask Rein forcements for Gen. Otis Washington, Muy 30 (Sp-eis.— There is something decidedly suspi cious in the news from the Philippines. Not u line of press news can be cabled from Manila until it has been approv ed by the I' S. Military Censor, and it is not likely that be would approve anything the administration did not wish public Hence, the publication of the statement that it would be im possible for Gen. Otis to conquer the entire island of Luzon, not to mention the remainder of the group, so that it would stay conquered, without a large increase in his army was allowed to pass the Censor for a purpose. Not being io the confidence of the admin istration, few persons, even among the most prominent republicans, art?, it cannot be positively stated what that purpose is, but the inference is that it is intended to pave the way for one of two things ; a call for volunteers to re inforce Otis, or to make the people of this country satisfied with some dicker that is about to be made with the Fil ipinos, and which they would natural ly be inclined to be dissatisfied with. The preponderance of opinion in Washington is that it means more volunteers. Orders have been sent out to the civilian members of the Philip pine Commission that they must do rothing to interfere with the military plans of Gen. Otis, which is confirmas tion of the reported wrangles in the com mission. After holding it back for many months, Mr. McKinley has issued his much advertised order, modifying the civil service rules. It doesn’t appear to please anybody overmuch. It in cepts a total of somewhere in the neigborhood of four thousand places from the civil service rule, but as most of those places are already filled by republicans, it will make comparative ly little new patronage for republican leaders. It doesn’t touch the Govern ment Printing Office, which so many republicans have been trying hard to get thrown open to them. So far as the party workers are concerned, the order is likely to do more harm than I good to the republican party. The administration was very paitics ular to have the widest circulation given to the report of the Beef Court I of Inquiry, but it has now discovered i that all of the $200,000 set aside to pay i for the inquiry has been used up, and < has ordered work stopped on printing i of the testimony, upon which that re port was supposed to be based, after it < had all been put in type. It has all 1 along been contended by many that t the administration never intended to i make the testimony public, and this I action makes it look as though that t contention was correct. Secretary Alger has been putting I bis foot in it again. Several days ago, i he caused an order to be issued by the I War Department, instructing the t military authorities in Cuba to give t clearances to Cuban vessels under the i Cuban flag, and at the same time s stating that the vessels flying the Cu- i ban flag would not be under American s protection. As there is no Cuban gov- e ernment, there can be no recognized i Cuban flag ; hence the order strikes c the average mau as ludicrous. Seme- e body called Mr. McKinley’s attention [ to the order and he directed that it be t referred to the Attorney General for 1 anopinion. This opinion, it is expect, t sd, will knock the order out. It might i answer for Cuban vessels to go from one Cuban port to another, under such I a clearance, but in any port outside of i Cuba, the masters of such vessels I would be at anybody’s mercy; they ' would have no Consul to appeal to in case of unjust treatment of any sort, i and no standing in any court of Ad miralty. Alger’s specialty appears to be doing the wrong thing. Story of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George I).

TO KEEP ON FIGHTING Otis Says Rainy Season Will Not Stop Him New York, May 30.—A dispatch to the Herald from Manila says: General Olis says, contradicting the general impression that the campaign against the Filipino insurgents will be prosecuted with the utmost aggressive ness possible during the rainy season. General Lawton is of the opinion that an early settlement of the present troubles and the close of hostilities depends largely upon the Americans giving rigid protection to the working classes in their peaceful occupation, whila waging incessant war against the armed forces of the enemy from this time forth by means of guerilla warfare. He will show the insurgents by vig orous action on the rivers, lakes and mountains that their belief that our troops cannot campaign in the rainy season or in the mountains is untrue. Later it is possible that the chang ing conditions may demand garrison ing by districts, so that the valuable part of the island will be safe invest ment for capital and the prosecution of industries until the Americans are completely dominant. The quick transportation of the cavalry and the pack mules is desirable as a means of rounding up the insurgents. When Nature Needs assistance it may be best to render it promptly, but one should remember to use even the most perfect remedies only when needed. The best and most simple and gentle remedy is the Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. The Slight to Gen Miles Gen. Nelson A. Miles, the command, ing general of the army, has not been consulted in reference to the manage ment of the campaign in the Philip pines. The failure of the plans of the government to subdue the rebels does not rest on the shoulders of the com manding genera! of the American army. Unless the Filipinos voluntari ly surrender, the indications now are that the American forces will have to be withdrawn from active campaign ing until after the rainy season is over, when an army of 100,000 or more men will have to be put in the field before the rebels can be induced to listen to rsason. If. Gen. Miles bad been con sulted, he would probably have advis ed the government to act on Lawton's advice and send more troops to the Philippines. In fact, if he had been consulted in time, he would no doubt have advised such a course so that a sufficient number of troops could have reached the islands soon enough to have w. nnd up the campaign before the rainy season set in. It is not very comforting to reflect that so much time, and money and so ' many lives have been lost by the pro bable blunders of McKinley, Ager and 1 their advisers, especially when the one man of all others entitled to have a ! voice in the matter was not consulted * at all. What is the need for a com- * manding general of the army, if bis 1 advice i« not sought on a matter of 1 such vital importance? If Gen. Miles * is the wrong man for the place, be ought to be put out, and a man select- * ed competent to fill the position. The 1 president and secretary of war, in put- 1 ting this slight upon Gen. Miles, may 1 have made a blunder that will work ‘ the greatest injury upon the American ' army and the American people. The Filipinos made their last play 1 for time very nicely. While the rainy ' season is going on, they can get a larger army together than ever before. They will be able to provide their forces with arms and ammunition sufficient to give the Americans a good deal of trouble when the fighting is resumed. It was certainly a great mistake not to have sent a force large enough to the Philippines to have en abled Gen. Otis to have compelled the surrender of the rebels before the rainy season set in —Columbus Enquirer. CASTOR IA For Infanta and Children.

The State University An Issue- M. .1 idm Trmp e Graves threatens ; lu makr- .l i- -tub ur>iv< r-ity »u issue it- -ta'H [uj.iiies 11, his opinion ap parently the university is ofll eted with the dry rot. He declares that it is either standing still or going back ward, while the denominational insti tutions of the state are going ahead. Mr. Graves has a very high appre ciation of the chancellor; says that he is a gentleman and a scholar, but not a teacher. The majority of the pro fessors are highclass men and would be an honor to any institution of learn ing in the land, but they lack a leader. The main trouble of the university in Mr Graves’ opinion, is that the trustees are not the sort of men who ought to be ia the positions they oc cupy. This is what he lays of them and to them ; “How many members of your board have thought, written, investigated and studied this vital qtmtion of the chancellorship, as you ought to have done in the solemn fiduciary relation which you bear to it? “The fact is gentlemen of the board, you are either too busy or too timid to attend to these responsible duties as they should be discharged. That is the only reasonable deduction from your record of service. “You will pardon me for the frank opinion Shat there is too much politics and twice too many politicians in your distinguished body, and the number, alas' seems to be lamentably on the increase. “I do not believe that an active poli tician can be bold and disinterested enough to do impartial justice to the great interests represented here. “You politicians are afraid of your shadows, or, to say the least, you are too everlastingly considerate of the ‘coming events which cast their shad ows before.’ “You are foolishly afraid of ‘denom inational prejudice.’ “You are awed by the shadow of ‘family influence.’ “ You are moved by the fear of sec tional bias. “You are too continually inclined to j mix your own personal affairs with the vast and impartial interest! of higher education. “And do you know, gentlemen, that it is being freely whispered all over the state that, the question of the chan cellorship of the University of Georgia is to revolve around and ba subordinate | to the struggle for the seat in the \ United States Senate? "If this be true, it is a living, burn- i ing shame.” "But I am going to tell you here; that if you persist in this apathy and , political trimming in educational af faire, that we are going to make the university an issue in elate politics. And we can do it.” If we are not mistaken one of the chief troubles of the university, if not the chief, is the lack of money. If the trustees had ample means it is proba bls that there would be less ground for complaint against them. They can’t do what they see ought to be done and what they would like to do , because they haven’t the necessary means. It is probably true that Mr. j Graves and those who are m sympathy ' with him would have very little diffi- : culty in making the university an ; issue in state politics. It isn’t al) • plain sailing for the university by any • means. That is evident from the die- ; cussion of the university in the legis . lature last fall. But from our point \ of view it wouldn't do trie university ; any good to bring it into politics As- ; turning that such is the case, why should any friend oi it want to bring it in 9 —Savannah Nhk.

Mrs- Davis and the Copyright Senator Hoar unfolded what 1 e called a little bit of interesting history in the Senate when the bill relating to changing the copyright law was under consideration, says the Boston Herald. He told bow Mrs. Jefferson Davis prepared a very interesting life of her hueband. The ownership of that biography was s very important resource to her in her old age. Gen Gordon came into the Senate one day just before his terra expired, and in the last moments of President Harrison’s administration, and stated that the publishers of the book had failed to make the proper deposit of copies with the librarian to save her copyright. Thev tba» tb e cnnvriclit was gone, and Mrs. Davis was in their power. Consequently, they undertook to compel her to submit to some very' bard and onerous terms She was in great distress and came to Congress for help. A bill was passed relieving her from that disability, and it was signed by President. Harrison within 30 sec onds of 12 o’clock, when his term ex pired.
