Show Kont is Hushing Matters. Washington, Aug. 6. Secretary Root has notified General Otis that six regiments regi-ments are almost ready to come to his assistance. It seems to be the policy of the new secretary of war to rush the raw volunteer regiments to Manila as soon as possible, and he will endeavor to get six regiments off from 'Frisco by the end of August. The new secretary secre-tary seems to be bound to do something to show that he has taken hold of the department, even if he does that something some-thing wrong. |
