Four Companies to B¢ Added to the Present
Force—City Is Now Orderly.
Manila (By Cabl¢).—In the city of Ma-
nila there are now less than 1000 effective
soldiers, and it has been decided to in-
crease this number by four companies of
infantry. The official reason for the in-
crease is that guard duty is too heavy
for the present force. As a matter of
fact, however, there is a feeling that, al-
though there is no apparent prospect of
trouble nevertheless, in the event of an
uprising in the future—such as is always
possible among the Malays—it would be
better to have a sufficient body of troops
available for such an emergency.
General Chaffee says he considers the
city of Manila to be perfectly orderly,
and he can see no prospect of an upris-

proposals are expected to bring about a
settlement of the great strike. Those in-
E | terested in the matter are waiting for
This | word to proceed with the program as
outlined at the conference of Amalga-
mated executives and the concilatory
committee of the Civil Federation. The
propositions, which are to be taken to
New York carry certain concesions by
the Amalgamated officials which it is
hoped will pave the way for the reopen-
ing of direct negotiations between the
| association and_the company.
| The proposition carries the terms un
| der which President Shaffer and his ad
| visors stand willing to settle. What
| these terms are and the mode of their
presentation are carefully guarded se
crets. There is alone the implication that
they contain concessions of such import
ance that those in interest expect the
corporation to drop its adverse attitude
and reopen negotiations.
The proposal contains nothing looking
to arbitration. This mode of settlement
| was waived on the advice of the Civic
I“ederation men.
While the conferees were discussing
| peace plans the Amalgamated men were
{ shown the impracticability of sympa-
thetic strikes by the miners and other
| organized men affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
