LATEARRIVALBFROMMAIILA VOLUNTEERS YEARN FOR HOME W«*»ry of Inactivity-The Clmliii Their Hrave Acts Have Come to Naught % Volunteer Cni>taln TalkN Thinks Otis Weak ?Volunteers Will Not Ke-KnlUt. I San Francisco, Cal., July 23.?Half a hundred nun, fiesh from the Philippines, j with bandaged wounds and shrunken forms to tell of their right to sjicak, are almost unanimous in saying that their bravest efforts have gone for naught an«l that with the exception of a few garrisoned towns, the whole country is .-till in the possession of the Filipinos, so to remain until some tinner hand than that of Otis shall direct the movement of American troops. Some of the men, |>er)iiips, speak strongly because they have felt hardships more and therefore the more conservative statements of well informed oilicers can be accepted with less need of allowance. Captain William M. Van Patten of the First Washington, who, as assistant sur- geon, had exceptional opp. rtunities for ob- servation, was interviewed for tlfat reason by a correspondent today. Captain Van Patten returned from the Philippines on the transport Indiana yesterday, having become so run down with stomach and bowel troubles that he felt that he could be of little service with the tighten:. When he left the islands live companies of the Washington* were garrisoned at Taguig, and seven at Pasig, three miles apart. Many of the men were in far from a well condition, being sullcrers from the same ailment that forced Van Patten to re- turn, but they, less fortunate than he, must remain whether they will or no. No Pig litI liftfor m l.onjf Time. "The men have had practically no fight- ing to do," said Captain Van Patten, "since they captured Marong on the lake just before the campaign south of Manila was begun. This was abuut March 20. Since then they have been resting in daily hope that they might be ordered home. There is no disguising the fact that the Washingtons are dissatisfied. They went to the Philippines expecting to light their country's battle with Spain." Three negroes were lynched near Saffold, Ga., and the mob is hunting for five more who are believed to have been members of a gang that robbed J. E. Ogiltree, agent of the Plant syßtem at Saffold, afterwards binding him and assaulting his wife in his presence. A coroner's Jury at Portland. Oregon, recently brought in a verdict that Clara Fitch, whose dead body was found in Cycle Park recently, was murdered by strangulation, and charging Frank McDaniel, who was with her when last seen. McDaniel stoutly protests his Innocence. . W. Banning was found Insensible on the bluff overlooking Granite creek, three blocks west of the Republic bank in Republic, Wash. His skull had been crushed in two places, evidently with a ragged rock, as both places had cut through the crown of his hat. There was evidence that he had been slugged. After a terrible struggle in the surf "Jack" llogan, a life-saver at Fire Is- land beach, lost his life in attempting to rescue Albert C. Hubert, a newspa- per correspondent, from drowning. Howard 11. Bliss, of Cranford, almost lost his life while assisting Hogan. He too, risked his life freely to save that of a stranger. A Jury has for the second time ac- quitted Avolina Arredondo, the mur- derer of President Idarte Borda of Monte Video. Among the arguments brought forward In prisoner's behalf was one that It was not proved that the president's death was caused directly by the shot, as no autopsy had been held on the body. The board of Inquiry of the Immigra- tion Bureau have refused to allow the Filipino band to land from the Trans- port Indiana. The musicians were im- ported for the Omaha Exposition, and were under contract to F. M. Bailey for a term of six months. On examina- tion the board ascertained that there was not an actor among them all and they were classed as contract laborers. Mnde licly hy Liquor. Boiw, Idaho, July 25. ?Word from Ijewlsten by telephone is to the effect that while the Indians on the Nez l'crce reservation have outwardly submitted to the agreement of their chiefs to permit the Northern Pacific grade through the reservation to proceed, still the young bucks continue to manifest an ugly spirit which is brutalized by the liquor fur- nished by white men. They threaten to swoop down on the graders again, as they did a few days ago, this time not to acare them off, but to murder. There are no soldiers there, and the norkingmen have little protec- tion. India Threatened br Drouth. Bombay, July 28.?The partial failure of the monsoon has occasioned great anx- iety. The rainfall has been excessive in Bengal and the northwest provinces, but in the Deeean, the Gugrat and some of the central provinces there has been almost no rain. Csvslrr tioea From Seattle. Washington, July 26.?The war depart- ment has ordered troops A, C, D, E, V, K, L and M, Third cavalry, to proceed to Seattle to be embarked for the Philip- pine islands. Kaeh of the troops for the Philippines is to be recruited to 120 men by tha trans- fer of recruits from Ban Francism. Death of \u25a0?ratio Alaer. NaMck Mass., July 20.?Horatio Al- ger, th' t 'if boys' ?»"??? diet* here at the Oils Needn 50,000 Men. Captain Van Patten held the same views relative to the needs of u greater force to accomplish anything permanent in the way of suppre&sing the insurgents that have been expressed by all other otli- eers interviewed. lie is emphatic that Otis should have 50,000 men at least. This would be suflicicnt to properly garrison places captured and continue operations for some time. An additional 20,tHK) would then complete the work of subjugation. "Otis should have had more men in the lirst place," continued the captain. "It is my belief that if he had been given 25,000 men at the start for actual Held service the war would now have been over. As it was, he only had between 12,000 and 13,000, aud results have been discourag- ing. None Will Ite-KnlUt. "There in no hope of raising the in- I creased fone needed in the I'hilippines by ' re-enlistment. This is sure. Au ollicer of the Fourth cavalry attempted to organize a company of Hharpxhootcrs, and asked Major Weisenberger how many men in his live companies would re-enlist for two years for travel pay. Not a single man volunteered. This shows the condition of affairs there. In In Dlatreaa. Mobile, Ala., July 25. ?Mail advices from Central America by the last fruit steamers indicate that the great revolt in Nicaragua, in the Meridional depait mcnt, is causing the administration of President Zelaya serious concern. Kince the rising of (General Keyes in the Blue- tields region there have been a series of attempts against Zelaya that he has sub ducd with aid from the liberal udminis tration of Honduras and Salvador. It it said in a letter received in this city yes- terday that Zelaya had issued au order for a forced loan of $500,000, to be raised immediately, and that the president's proclamation instructs departmental com- mandants to insist that every available resident of Nicaragua shall asnist the re- public without Jelay.

Griffiths was knocked from a trestle 20 feet high by a West Side train at Ful- ton, a suburb of this city.

Some of the men, |>er)iiips, speakstrongly because they have felt hardshipsmore and therefore the more conservativestatements of well informed oilicers canbe accepted with less need of allowance.

Whenhe left the islands live companies of theWashington* were garrisoned at Taguig,and seven at Pasig, three miles apart.Many of the men were in far from a wellcondition, being sullcrers from the sameailment that forced Van Patten to re-
turn, but they, less fortunate than he,must remain whether they will or no.

They wentto the Philippines expecting to light theircountry's battle with Spain."

Oils Needn 50,000 Men.Captain Van Patten held the same
views relative to the needs of u greaterforce to accomplish anything permanentin the way of suppre&sing the insurgentsthat have been expressed by all other otli-eers interviewed. lie is emphatic thatOtis should have 50,000 men at least. Thiswould be suflicicnt to properly garrisonplaces captured and continue operationsfor some time. An additional 20,tHK) wouldthen complete the work of subjugation."Otis should have had more men in thelirst place," continued the captain. "It ismy belief that if he had been given 25,000men at the start for actual Held servicethe war would now have been over. Asit was, he only had between 12,000 and13,000, aud results have been discourag-ing.
None Will Ite-KnlUt."There in no hope of raising the in- I
creased fone needed in the I'hilippines by 're-enlistment. This is sure. Au ollicer ofthe Fourth cavalry attempted to organizea company of Hharpxhootcrs, and askedMajor Weisenberger how many men inhis live companies would re-enlist for twoyears for travel pay. Not a single man
volunteered. This shows the condition ofaffairs there.
