Washington,l May 25. ——After careful
deliberation the cabinet has decided to
increase the number of troops to be
sent to the Philippine Islands as soon
as transports can be secured, and to
accomplish this a. second expedition
will be made up after rthe one now pre-
paring starts.
The president and the cabinet, it is
stated on 'the highest authority, have
arrived at (the conclusion that the is-
lands must be held permanently, and
recent dispatches from Admiral Dewey
in regard to the force needed to accom-
plish 'this show that a greater number

THE PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY.
Report of the Rome Mission Board—Tho
Charnly Embezzlement.
Winona Lake, Ind., May 25.—The re-
port of (the Board of Home Missions,
i submitted to the Presbyterian General
Assembly, began wi h an extended re-
fview of the work in the whole field,
saying in conclusion that “in spite of
icircumstances the financial year had
[been a good one.” The year opened
' with a debt of $147,276, and closed with
a debt of $167,839, an increase of $20,562.
This is accounted for by the change
from quarterly to monthly payments
- of salaries to the missionaries in the
field.
Contributions amounted to $698,940, a.
decrease of $93, 464 from last year,
when special efforts were made. Oper-
ating expenses were cut down by $7, 515,
land administration cost $30, 578. For
mission w-brk $421,748 was given, and
for Sunday school work $277,192. The
total expenditures amounted to $722,965,
of which $440,280 was for mission work
and $225,866 for Sunday schools.
Under .the board are 1,393 missiona-
ries, 84,682 church members, 2,018 Sun-
day sch=ools,’with 123,622 pupils. Of the
boa-rd ten became self supporting dur-
ing the year.
The year, on the whole, had been the
most prosperous in the board’s his-
tory. The expenses had been reduced
20 per cent. The number of students
was 2,733, a gain of 16. The receipts
were $145,246, and the expenses $102,461.
The cash on hand amounts to $43,785.
to Manila. It is said that the Spanish,
seeing that Cuba is lost to them, in-.
tend (to make a bitter fight for the P-hil- i
ippines.
There have been very material and
important developments in the war
policy of the administration within the
past two -.days For some time there
has been a growing appreciation of the
importance of the Philippine campaign,
and it is definitely stated on good au-
come to regard th -e occupation and re-
tention of the Philippine Islands as the
vital point in the campaign.
It is said that (the most active and
urgent effort of the government will be
directed from now on toward rendering
permanent the possession of the Phil:
ippines, and that the administration re—
gardsthis as the most impontant move
in the war.
Spain’s Contemplatcd Policy.
Information concerning the Spanish
policy, her contemplated military op-
erations, and her attempts at negotia—
tion with foreign powers, Impresses this
government with the importance of set—
tling the possession of the Philippines
as quickly as possible, and (there is said
to De more anxiety felt at-this .hour
to successfully complete that campaign
than there is to push operations in Cu-
ba.
Somewf (the strongest advisers of the
administration insist that the conquest
of Cuba can very well and wisely be
prosecuted with deliberation after the
Philippines are completely within our
possession. The overthrow of Spanish
power in the West Indies is considered
fully assured, and (it is believed to be
the design of Spain to attempt negotia-
tions with foreign powers looking (to a
termination of the war after a decisive
naval engagement and the conquest of
Cuba on the basis of no further loss
to Spain than that of the island of Cu—
ba. '
MISSIONARIES RESCUED.
A Force of Troops Relieves Those on
the West Coast of Africa.
Sierra Leone, West Africa, May 25.——
A force of troops has relieved the mis-
sionaries and others at Kwellu, whose
lives were imperilled by the uprising
of the natives, who rebelled against the
imposition of the hut tax.
The bodies of the American mission-
aries who were murdered when the in-
surgcnts attacked and destroyed the
town of Rotifunk, in the early part of.
the present month, have been recovered
and buried.
On May 6 the British colonial office
received the names of the American
111issiona’ries who were massacred dur-
ing (the debellion in the Sherboro dis—
trict of Sierra. Leone, including those
who were reported to have been killed
at Rotifunk. They were Mr. and Mrs.
Cain and the Misses Archer. Hatfield
and Schenck. The other missionaries—
Mr. and Mrs. Burtner, Mr. and Mrs.
Hinshall and the Misses Mullen and
Ward—succeeded in making their es-
cape to Freetown.
Miss Muller, an American missionary.
who was alone in a mission house in
the Sherboro district when it was in‘
vaded by the insurgents, was rescued‘
ship just in time to prevent her from
being massacred. The infuriated na-
tives had already surrounded the mis-
sion when the sailors arrived on the
scene. '
COAL STEAMER DETAINED.
Action of the Collector of Port at Phil-
ndelphia.
Philadelphia, May 25.—Fearing that
her cargo of coal might fall into the
hands of Spanish warships in Cuban
waters, or that the coal is intended for
a. Spanish port, the collector of the port
of this city to-day detained the Ger-
man steamer Amrun, pending instruc-
tions from Washington. The coal is
consigned to the Mexican Railroad to
be delivered at Vera Cruz, Mexico. In
detaining the vessel 'the collector
carrying out the instructions issued by
the treasury department last week, to
the effect that all vessels with coal for
West Indian, Central, or South Ameri-
can points shall not; be given clearance
papers until it is positively shown that
the coal is not for Spanish consumption.
Up .to late this afternoon the collector
had received no word rrom Washing-

RED CROSS READY TO START.
State of Texas to Follow the Fleet of
Troops Into Cuban \Vaters.
Tampa, Fla, May 25.—The Red Cross
ship State of Texas, with Miss Clara
Barton, representative of the National
Red Cross Society of America and a
corps of surgeons and trained nurses,
arrived at Port Tampa from Key West
yesterday and cast anchor near (the
gunboaxt Helena. The vessel, which is
fully fitted up for special purposes and
carries supplies enough for (the equip-
ment of several Red Cross stations,
will, it is said, follow the fleet of troops
into Cuban waters.
In speaking of the Red Cross work
in Cuba, Miss Barton said that she had
received assurances from the highest
Spanish official sources that the hos-
pital at Serro and her headquarters
were being carefully guarded, and that
the Red Cross supplies left there were
being put to their intended uses. In the
hospital at Se-rro, where sixty children
were being cared for when Miss Barton
left the island, there were now 160 chil-
dren receiving medical attention.
“General Blanco himself belongs to
the Red Cross Society of Spain,” said
Miss Barton, “and I am confident that
the Red Cross work in Cuba will not be
interfered with.”
Miss Barton left for Washington last
night.
GLADSTONE’S BODY IN STATE.
At Hawarden To-day and To-mon‘ow; at
, \Vestminster Abby Until Saturday.
—London, May 25.—The body of the
late William Ewart Gladstone laid in
state at Hawarden yesterday, and will
lie in sta.e in the church to-day and in
Westminster Abbey Thursday and Fr'i-
day.
The funeral will be held Saturday.
The state procession will consist
merely of members of both Houses of
Parliament, who, in ordinary morning
dress, not court costumes, will precede
which will be followed by
members of the family and mourners.
The pall bearers will include Lord
Salisbury, Lord Rosebery, Lord Kim—
berley, Lord Spencer Sir William Har-
court, Mr. Balfour, Mr. Morley and the
Duke ofNorfolk.
As the funeral is to be a national tri—
bute, no political organization will be
recognized in connection with it. Some
idea of .the size of the throng expected
to gather at Westminster to see the
body lying in state may be gleaned
from the fact that the police authori-
ties are providing 1,500 extra police to
regulate the crowd.
