NEED NO MORE TROOPS.
Officials Finally Decide Not to
Organize Volunteer Army.
Washington, April 19.—A con
ference at the white house today
between the President, Secretary
Alger, Secretary Long and Adjt.-
Gen. Corbin resulted in the con
firmation of the original decision
of the administration to at present
refrain from availing itself of the
authorization conferred by con
gress to organize a volunteer army
of 35,000 soldiers in addition to
the present regular army. Gen.
Otis’ latest cablegram descriptive
of the conditions in the Philip
pines was carefully considered and
it was concluded to accept his es
timate of the military needs of the
case so that as he has already in
dicated that his present army is
sufficient for the purposes he has
in view, the decision is tantamount
to a resolve to avoid recourse to
the additional volunteers.
A cablegram was sent to Gen.
Otis, however, called for by the ne
cessity for withdrawing the state
volunteers from the Philippines,
again asking him whether he
would need more men after he has
received the troops now on the
way to Manila or under orders to
embark as soon as transportation
can be secured. Otis has now a
force believed to aggregate about
22,000 effective men. Secretary
Alger informed him that the troops
now on the way and to be ordered
would give him an army of about
30,000 men after allowing for the
return of the state volunteers.
This is believed at the war depart
ment to meet all the requirements
of the summer season.
It is intended to withdraw one
regiment from Porto Rico and to
send three regiments now in this
country to the Philippines as soon
as they can be equipped and trans
ported there, though it is not be
lieved that they will leach Manila
for two or three months. It is also
stated that the conditions in Cuba
are such that it is quite probable
some troops can be withdrawn
from that island for service in the
Philippines.
The matter of returning the vol
unteers was also discussed. The
department is arranging for their
return to the United States as soon
as the necessary transportation can
be secured. To Gen. Otis has been
left the selection of the organiza
tions to be sent home first and it
is expected that he will follow the
plan he has outlined of relieving
the men who have been longest in
the Philippines.
The information at the war de
partment is that all the state vol
unteers who went to Cuba are now
away from that island. Some of
them are on board ship and will
arrive in this country in a few days.
The only volunteers remaining in
Cuba are the immunes at Santiago
and they will be brought away as
soon as the 10th Cavalry arrives at
that place.

ADVICE TO NEGROES.
Booker T. Washington Deplores
Senseless Partisanship.
New Orleans, April 24.—A spe
cial to the Picayune from Tuske
gee, Ala., says:
Prof. Booker T. Washington, an
swering the request of a prominent
colored man in North Carolina as
to what shculd be done to allay
the present conflict between the
races, clearly advises him to make
alliance with the triumphant de
mocracy.
Says the letter: “I have been
asking myself lately some rather
serious questions, and I want to
put one or two of them to you. Is
there any reason why negroes in
the south should continue to op
pose the southern white man and
his politics?
“Is not this the source of nearly
all our troubles? Unconsciously
we seem to have gotten the idea in
to our blood and bones that we are
only acting in a manly way when
we oppose southern white men
with our votes. I believe that Gov.
Johnsson, of Alabama, is just as
good a friend to the black man as
Hon. William Youngblood, of Al
abama. Hon. William Youngblood
has about 400 white followers, and
Hon. Joseph F. Johnston has about
500,000 followers in Alabama.
Why should we follow Mr. Young
blood with his 400 white followers,
rather than Gov. Joseph F. John
ston, with his 500,000 followers,
when no principle is at stake?
Why is it that the negro in Cuba
has surpassed us in settling his
race problem? Is it not because
the white men have mnde the ne
groes’ interests their own?
“In some way, by some method,
we must bring the race to the point
where it will cease to feel that the
only way for it to succeed is to op
pose everything suggested or put
forth by the southern white men
I confess that personally I have
not brought myself wholly to the
point that I should like to see the
whole race get to, but I merely ask
these questions to put you to
thinking along these lines if you
have not already begun to do so.
“I believe that there are thou
sands of white democrats in North
Carolina who are 50 per cent, bet
ter friends to the negro than Gov.
Russell, and I see no necessity in
continuing to follow Gov. Russell,
who has no power to protect, or if
has the power, does not exorcise it,
rather than these other white men
who can protect us if we cease to
continually and forever oppose
them.”
Mothers wishing stout healthy
girls should give them Simmons
Squaw Vine Wine or Tablets as
they approach puberty.
He Didn’t Forget It.
A young married lady one morn
ing gave her hueband a sealed let
ter, which he was to read when he
got to his office. He did so, and
the letter ran as follows:
“I am obliged to tell you some
thing that may give you pain, but
there is no help for it. You shall
know everthing, whatever be the
consequences. For the last week I
have felt like it must come to this,
but I have waited until the last
extremity, and can remain silent
no longer. Do not overwhelm me
with bitter reproach, for you will
have to put up with your share of
trouble as well as myself,”
Cold ptrspiration stood in thick
drops on the brow of the husband,
who was prepared for the worst.
Trembling he read on :
“Our coal is all gone. Please or
der a ton be sent this afternoon. I
thought you might forget it for the
tenth time, and therefore wrote
you this letter.”
But he didn’t forget it that time!
