The End Not Yet in Sight Few Weapons Captured. Vancouver. B. C, June 28. Louis La Dow, who recently arrived In Yoko hama from Manila, Is quoted In the last Japanese papers as expressing the conviction that the end of the war with the Philippines Is by no means yet In sight. The oflicial reports of American losses, he thinks, are not wholly le llable, ns they make no allowance for numbers who die In the hospitals. The number of Americans killed in battle. or who have died In the hospitals since the outbreak of hostilities will, thinks, easily reach 5,000. The volun teer force he regards as the Uower of the army of occupation, for their training lias made them efllclent as any regain! s in the wot Id. Unfortu nately the more recent despatches of reinforcements are not nearly so good as the original volunteers, who wor- n"t actuated by any prospect of high pay but by patriotism md love of ad- entitle. The late arrival will require a good deal of licking Into shape. The orig inal army of occupation is not In a. pleasant frame of mind. They are. In th- first place, perfectly willing to fight against any civilized power In ordinary tturfnre, but they object to wasting their lives nnd health upon "niggers," ns they contemptuously call the Filip inos, and they Indulge hi many growls at the necessity which compels them to he on the "qui vlve" dav and right in order not to be caught napping by their cunning enemies. One feature of the war is that, although so many natives have been killed, very few weapons have been captured. The moment a Filipino falls there are ten ready to snatch up his rllle and make away with It.- Their numerical forces are practically Inexhaustible, whereas the mcricans can only obtain fresh men after long delavs and at great expense. It is a remarkable fact that although the American troops have often re mained In the trenches In a soaking cnnditlen for days' at a time they have never caught cold, DEWEY LEAVES COLOMBO.

A DECISION REACHED Seventy Recruiting Stations Open. Troops to Bo Ready at End of tho Rainy Season Conference at th White Houso Yesterday Morning. Enlistment to Be for Three Yeara in the Regular Army. Washington, June 2S. Secretary 'Al ger, Adjutant General Corbin nnd Col onel Bird, assistant quartermaster gen eral In chargo of transportation, had an hour's consultation with the presi dent today relative to the question of reinforcements for General Otis. A. definite decision has been reached to continue recruiting men at all tho re cruiting stations for service In the Philippines, and 'Secretary Alger said when ho left the White House after a conference that General Otis would have 40.000 men when tho rainy season closed for a resumption ot active oper ations. There are seventy recruiting stations In the United States, and enlistments nre to be taken at all ot these stations. The enlistments are to be for service in the regular army, nnd recruits nro to be; organized into regiments or as signed to regiments already formed after enlistment. No organizations as such nro to be accepted If sulllclcnt re cruits can be obtained by regular en listment. General Corbin said the en listments would be for three years, al though the law for the creation of tho provisional army of 3.",000 in excess of the regular army ot 6.",000 provides only for such a force until 1901. Ar rangements are to be made at once for Increasing the transportation necessary to get these additional troops to the, Philippines. Regiments in Philippines. The decision to reinforce General Otis by the end of the rainy season is in terpreted to mean that aggressive cam paigning will cease until the bad we-ather end. Until that tlmo our op erations will probably be confined to occasional excursions to places In close vicinity to our Hues, where tho Insur gents may have congregated in force. By remaining quiescent under good shelter during the rainy season It la hoped that the health of our troops will be conserved and the danger from climatic fever reduced to a minimum. General Otis has cabled the war de partment that he has tho skeleton or ganizations of two or throe regiments which it is proposed to raise in the Philippines. At the war department this Is said to mean thnt General Otis has tile oflicers for their regiments se lected and that they are ready to be lllled with enlisted men. How many of these can be secured from the volun teer regiments now lu the Philippines Is not known. It Is Rtated nt the war department that the recruits now being lecrulted at the rate of 1,000 a week cannot be used for the volunteer armj provided for In the act of March 2, authorizing 3,"i.00(i men, although it would be an easy matter to transfer these men with their own consent to the volunteer service If it should bo determined to raise additional troops. Later in tho day it was definitely de cided to begin the enlistments for thn volunteer service under the act of tho hist congress. The reports to the adjutant general based on the reports of tho recruiting oflicers and on close estimates us to the number of soldiers in tho Phlllp plses and In ouch command In Cuba and Porto Rico show that the regular army Is up to Its full authorized strength. The additional soldiers need ed must be obtained under that sec tion of the net of congress authoriz ing the enlistment of volunteers. Tho only exception will be in tho case of the few enlistments that were made from time to time to 1111 gaps In the regular army caused by casualties and by the expiration of enlistments. Tho oflicers scattered among the principal cities ot the country who have been enlisting regulars only will be Instruct ed Immediately to prepare to enlist volunteers. The piesent Indications are that about 10,000 men will bo wanted. Volunteers will not be ac cepted In organization. Secretary Al ger Is determined to adhere to that rule.
