While a final decision on the matter of enlist ing still more troopa has not yet been ; made. th fact that Secretary Root is already considering the matter of of- , ficers for the regiments is strong proba-. . bility that they will be organized. The secretary is extremely anxious to get , good officers, and as he cannot examine eacti indiyidnal's record, he has refused to place responsibility on the governors of states. j Political influence and personal pnll ! will cut no figure in the distribution of commissions in these new reeriments. Secretary Root made that noint nnmis- takably olear to Senator Clay of Geor gia, when i he latter" called at the war department to urge the appointment of several young Georgians, who are am bitious to enter the armv as commis. sioned officers. The recruiting for the ten new regi ments continues, although thav hav their complement of men, and the over Sow may serve as a nucleus for the new regiments. It is the expectation of the department that enouarh men for 18 vol unteer regiments will be obtained by the middle of September. "We will send troops enough to the Philippines to capture Aguinaldo," said Secretary Root when aked how many more volunteers are to be recruited. , He declined to sa? auything further about the war department's 'plans, but it is known that recruiting will be con tinued indefinitely aud troops will be sent to Manila until the rebellion is suppressed. - ' The policy of the new regime is to strike a heavy blow the iiioment the ag gressive is taken again; to pursue 'Agui naldo in the most vigorous rnmuer and to have troops enouga to main tain every advantage gained. The department realizes that it will take fuly 70,000 men to accomplish th's '.

CASTOR I A For Infanta and Children, i The Kind Yau Have Always Bought Our Warships Leave Without Dmiger to American Iuterrsts. Washington, Aug. 15. Official ad vices received from . Captain Edwin Longnecker, commanding the cruiser New Orleans, show the situation in Santo Domingo to be less exciting than has been currently reported. " Captain Longnecker regards the con dition of affairs such that the New Or leans and Machiaa may leave Santo Do mingo without danger to' American in teiersts for the purpose of obtaining coal. If the situation were serious, the department officials say, he would have sent the Machias to coal and upon her return would have gone with the New Orleans. This is his dispatch, dated yesterday: "Situation reported by the commander of the Machias remains the same. Everything is quiet at Santo Domingo. Request ("permission for New Orleans and Machias to proceed to St. Thomas for coal, or to San Juan, at my discre tion." The department d sipproved the re quest to go to St. Thomas, and directed Captain Longnecker to proceed to can Juan, where there is "an ample supply of coal. Upon the arrival of the New Orleans and Machias at San Juan they may bo used in connection with the re lief work work in progress there. , The reported establishment of a Jimi nez junta in New York for the purpose of encouraging the revolution against the recognized government of Santo Domingo is regarded with little official concern at present, aitnougn it is ad mitted that a shaip watch will be kept over the headquarters to ptevent any violation of neutrality. I It is unlikely that any particular attention will be paid to the friends of Jiminez so long as they violate no law by overt acts against President Figuereo, who has been recog nized by President McKinley.
