Tagal rebellion which are about to be
begun and prosecuted with extreme
energy, are to De or a inorougniy com

But the departure for Manila yesterday

Coupled with tle, '-announcement or
the beginning of a rebellion crushing
campaign,' the preliminary - orders is-
ed some time ago ifor bringing home
the
vorunteers have been rescinded .foe
the present. It was intended to start
the first of these men home about De
cember 1 in order that they could all
be discharged in compliance with the
e--itin,sr law before June 30. 1901. It
was estimated that the 32,000 volunteers
now in the Philippines could not be re
turned upon the regular army tran
sports and chartered vessels in less
than five months. It Is expected tnat
fully one half of the volunteers now in
the Philippines will be anxious to re
enlist and remain in the islands; or In
that case transports can easily bring
home the remainder in three months.
I The military force under General Mac-
Arthur including the troops coming
back from China this week, aggregates
71,000 officers and men, in addition to
the 3,000 marines and 5,000 naval offi
cers and enlisted men. The total
strength ashore land afloat exceeds that
of last winter by nearly iz.uuu men.

TROUBLE IN CANVASSING. VOTE.
(Lexington, Ky., Nov; 9. The can
vassing of the returns of Tuesday s
election Is likely to cause trouble -.in-various
ways, and already the courts
have been invoked to undo the blunders
of election officers. The blundering be
gan by a failure of the county clerk to
furnish to election officers duplicate
forms for certifying the returns. Thus
it happens that in several precincts the
only official certificate of the vote is
locked up in ballot boxes, which, tinder
the law, cannot be opened for six
months.
It is possible the whole vote of the
coupnty may be affected. A man
damus has been granted directing the
opening of one of the boxes .this
morning. The board of election com
missioners meets to canvass the vote
