GENERAL CORBIN'S ANiNUAUREPQRT NEED OF INCREASING REGULAR ARMY IS POINTED OUT. Ofllcers and Men of the Volunteer Regiments Have Remained in the Army at a Sacrlllce of Personal Interests They Should Be Al lowed to Return Home and Again Join the Guard. Washington, Nov, 11. General Cor bln has made his annual report to tho secretary of war. Discussing the volunteer army. Oen eril Corbln shows tho legislation re garding it mid gives In detail the li ferent organizations called out from th.' various states and territories. The sterngth of Hie volunteer army at Us highest point, which was during the month of August, woh 8,755 ofllcers and t0i.2ll enlisted men. The aggregate strength of the 'regular and volunteer armies was 11, 10S. ofllcers and 2G.?,i'.oU enlisted men. General Cot bin says that the suspon- i slon of hostilities, -resulting from "the short but biilllnut operations of the army against Salpingo," the surren der of the Spanish troops In Porto Rico no lesa thnnnhe successful opera tions of our troops' In the Philippines, led to tho determination to muster out 100.000 volunteers. He gives the de fails of them which have been pub lished and adds: "Since the signing of the protocol th" .itllcers bud men of the volunteer ' regiments huve remained at their posts of duty, In most cases at gre-it per , sonal sacrifices. That they ha'p done this cheerfully and "without complaint makes It all the more desirable tin t a speedy increase of the regular army be provided for In order that the vol unteers may be released from further service and be allowed to return to their pe-aceful vocations." The number killed nnd wounded dur ing all camnalgns is as follows: Ofll cers killed, 23: enlisted men killed, 257: olhcers wounded, 11.1; enlisted men wounded, 1,114. The tola! dealns '-oni wounds and disease up to October ", wore 107 ofllcers and 2.S0J cnllsrt'-d men. ADVICK TO GUARDSMKN. General Corbln recommends that the men of the National Guard who en tered the volunteer army be allowed to return and be re-admitted to their state organizations. Advice to those who control the National Guard is as fol lows: "While the yearly state encampments have been productive- of positive good In Imparting practical instruction lo the troops participating, the experi ence of tho recent campaign hap dem onstrated the absolute necessity of 'urther iissimlidtlnir the condition of encamned troocs to the actual neces. sltles of active service by making the men while iu camp dependent for their subsistence on the army ration to be furnlnhed by the state authorities, on ration returns, and cooked by the troous In precisely the same manner as on actual service In the Held. An organization sent to a state camp for military Instruction, relying on a caterer to furnish them necpssary food, can never acquire that self-reliance which characteilzes the regular soldier on active duty, for without previously received instructions In preparing food the natural results when called Into service will be poorly cooked and wasted rations, which, falling (o strengthen the physical man, make him liable to febrile and stomach troubles Incident to service In all kinds of weather, under distressing but un avoidable conditions1. "For this purpose, Involving the Issue of rations and (he purpose of field cook ing stoves and utensils, the annual ap propriation made by congress for the support, In part, of the militia, is total ly Inadequate, and Its1 Increase, urged In past years, has now become a neces sity."

The malls from Sierra, i.eone. West Africa, today bring news of the hanging at Kwellu of Vi mtuderers of American missionaries, members of the 1'nlted Brotherhood of Christ In the Sherbro district of Sierra Leone last May, The massacre of the missionaries referred to In the foregoing dispatch grew out of the dlsatlsfactlon of the natives with tho local hut tax. A number of the chiefs rebelled nnd the Insurrection spread through the Sher bro district, where the headquarters of the missionaries of the United Protheihnod of Christ were located. The Insurgents burned the mission houses and muruered a number of the missionaries, among them Mr. and Mrs. Cain, and the Misses Archer, Hatfield and Schenck. Several of the mission aries Mr. and Mrs. Hurluer, Mr. nnd Mrs, Mlnshnll and the Misses ......or and Wr.rd, succeeded nfWr icriiblo ex periences, la reaching Ficetown, the capital ot the llrltlsh colony of Sierra Leone. Miss Miller was tvscucu under the most thrilling conditions. A number of natives, frightfully besmeared with the blood of earlier victims, had al ready surrounded the mission house where she was, und she owed her de liverance to the arrival Just In the nick of time of a boat's crew from a llrltirh warship. A Riltish expedition was subsequent ly dispatched to the scene of the up rising and the cremated bolles of several of the missionaries were sub sequently recovered. The search for Mrs. Cain. who fled to the bush at the time of the marsacrc, proved fruitless, and It wan concluded that she had been killed. Native chiefs to the num ber of a hundred were arrested by the llrltlsh authorities and plaeeu on trial for murder. It is probable that the thirteen already executed were the principal promoters of the rebellion. WARRANT FOR CARNEGIE. The Millionaire Must Recognize a Call to Servo as Juror. New York, Nov. 11.

"Hut their representations nt Wash ington nre likely to Irritate greatly the national pride of the Americans, lead ing to a universal support of President McKinley in a reply which, however moderate In tone, will in effect be a clear defiance.

However, he request ed Mr. Tolbert to see 'he attorney general and make to him a full state ment of the situation as ho viewed it. Mr. Tolbert had e.n interview with Attorney General Griggs, who had Just returned to the city from New Jersey. At tho conclusion ot the interview the attorney general said he would have a conference with the president upon the matter cs soon as possible and It would then be determined what, if anything would be done.

The department of Justice has taken steps to obtnln ofllclal Information bearing upon the tiouble In South Carolina and It In said to lx entirely unlikely that In the absence of such In formation the president would take any action in the matter.

It wuh a case of a runaway train on a steep single-track road dashing into nn up-bound train which It should liavo waited for In u siding. Trnln No. Ii, bound from Now York to Ruffnlo, was a very heavy one, con sisting of a baggage car, mall enr, ex press car. two day coaches and four Pullmans. Threo engines were required to draw It up the east side of the moun tain. The regulur engine broke down on the way and one of the helpers, En gine No. 117, with Ji.'in Rohlflng n en gineer and John R lo, fireman, was sent on with the tiain from the sum mit. Express Messengers MncCieggor and Morgan and Raggagemaster Roylo were on this train and Engleman was one of its brakemen. MAKIRTP OF TRAIN" C. Train No. C, bound from lluffalo tn New Vork, was also a heavy one, be ing made up of a baggage car, malt car and express car, one day coach and three Pullman?. It wus drawn by two engines, the first, No. 411, one of tho largest In the world, being in charge) of Engineer John McNally and Flrei man Fred. Glasser, nnd the second, No, 42.", having D. K.

To his amazement he could not con- trol the train. There was a heavy wind nnd rainstorm during the earlier part of the night nnd lurge quantities of wet leaves were plied on the track. These got between the brake-shoes and tho wheels, it is supposed, and this, to gether with the wet rails, the heavy train and the steep grade, being near ly nlnety-slx feet to the mile at this point, made It Impossible to control the train. When the siding was drawing near and it was seen by the engineer that he could not slacken the speed with the air-brakes, he reversed the power and whistled for tho hund-brakcH Thei-e efforts also proved futile. The sldlns was passed out of at a high speed and n thousand feet beyond Ii, on a curve nt the entrance of a deep cut, the runa way daihed Into the up-bound train, with Its two pulling engines, which wero hurrying onto the put-slug place.
