FIGHTING FORCE
I
Ctis to Have Enough Men for
Field Service.
IHEBIEIilOin
Enough Troops Will Be Sent to the
Philippines to Do 6arrIson and
Police Duty In Addition to Thirty
Thousand for Operations Against
Insurgents. ,
Washington, June 29. Secretary
Mzev this morning reiterated the
statement that General Otis is to have
an army in the Philippines of about
40.OOO men. It is not certain that the
Army will not be increased beyond
'that number, as no limit has yet been
determined upon in the matter, of en
listing recruits for volunteer forces to
serve in the Philippines. Secretary
Alger said that orders' to recruiting
officers would be to enlist volunteers
until the department orders them to
stop.
HIRIi THOUSAND
ihe plan of the department is to; two troops of the Foirth ,ne
give Oris a fighting force of 30,000 ; officers and 213 enlisted men; two com
troops. This force will be exclusive of.panies Twenty-fifth Infantry, six ofii-
I n r- r i -
troops needed, to garrison towns and
police cities. It will also be exclusive
of men in hospitals and men unfit for
active service. Secretary Alger ex
plained to the reporter that Otis is to
have 30,000 men able to take the 'field
at any time. To give him that num
ber of men for field service it will be
nrcessary to provide a large number
of soldiers for police duty in cities.
It is necessary to keep at all times a
regiment of troops on duty in the
city of Manila. Several companies are
also assigned for protection of citizens
or Hollo.
It may be that other cities will need
garrisons, and at the present time it
is impossible to' state how'-many 'vol
unreers will be needed to increase tne
fumy m the I'hilippines o as tc cleave' thi:ofhU .vidow, hi.-,
Otis a full hghtmg force of 30,000 men.1and tbe testator'. gram
Lnhstment of volunteers is to enable! rriii0T- pi,nf ti
Otis to have a reserve f 6rce orrhand to
replace at any time any regiment in;tate mo00 1er annum tQ h,is .Mow
the fighting force that may, by reason
of hard campaigning, be exhausted
and in need of rest.
"Briefly," said Secretary Alger,
"Otis is to have at all times at hi;
disposal a fighting force of 30,000 men!
to take the field at any time, independ-jof the ,rauds(11 is twenty-one yeurs of
ent of whatever other organizations' ge an1 at that time it is t d-
may be on hand for police dutv. 'To
give him this force recruiting will go
on until it is ordered to ceae, and it
cannot be said just now where the
limit will be, whether it will be 40,000
in the aggregate or more."
President McKinley has expressed
to his advisers a desire to bring home
the State troops now in the Philip
pines without delay, and to that end
instructions have been sent to Major
General Shatter at San" Francisco to
hurry the departure of transports
from that port.
These instructions may retard the
reinforcements of Otis' army, as the
transports will leave as soon as they
are ready, whether or not the troops
assigned to them have reached San
Francisco. The President has author
ize the Quartermaster General to pur
chase two more vessels, and whep
these are secured they will be hurried
to Manila to bring volunteers home,
they, Q.f course, to take out troops to
Otis. . ,

CUBANS FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
Neaotlatleiis Said to Bo In Progress or a
. Largo. Force. .
Chicago, June 20. Word has reach
ed this city through a letter from
Havana to the effect that negotiations
are pending '.with "leading officers of
the Cuban army to convey their forces
t j the Philippine Islands and' place
them' under the command ' of Major
General Otis, to campaign in connec
tion with the American troops against
the rebellious Filipinos. Both the
President and Secretary of War Alger
are reported to think well of the plan,
and, in the hope that it may be ac
complished, it is said, have withheld
another call for .volunteers. It is also
alleged that ten Cuban chiefs Gen
erals Diaz. Nunez, Nodarse, Alejarn-
dro, Rodriguez, Carillo Roloff, Vega,
are the officers who devised this , pian
o furnish employment :to Cuban sol -
diers who are without means of sub
sistence. Information from Washington states
that the War Department- has. been
negotiating with these Cuban chiefs
i or more man a month.' The argu
ment advanced in favor of the propo
sition is that the -Cubans are better
qualified for active campaigning in a
tropical climate than the American sol
diers. Ten thousand Cubans are said
to be Anxious to go to assist in putting
down the rebellion of Aguteialdo.
