Washington, ID. C., Oct. IA report
was current tonight that the Philip

rived In this city, representing the in
surgcnt government, had been refused
recognition by the President.
1t was impossible. however. to OBJ
tain from amy authoritative source in

State Department to-day, where they
had an Interview with Assistant Secrc-
tary Adee. Previous to his visit to the

had received from his government mt
Malolos the instructions which lie bad
been awaiting here for some time and
which came only after three separate

Washington. d. c.. Oct. 3-The War
Department has decided to send more
troops to Porto Rico.
Ordefs have been Issued directing
that the Fifth regiment cavalry, now al
Huntsville. Alabama; the Sixth United
States volunteer infantry, now at
ChickAmauga, and the Forty4eventh
New York, now at Fort Adams, shall
proceed to such point in Porto Rico a.
may Be desired by the commanding
general Of that island.
The Eighth United States volunteer
infantry and two companies Of the In.
diana colored volunteers. now At Fort
Thomas, Kentucky. will relieve the
Sixth volunteer Infantry at Chicka-
mauEa.
All the troops at Camp Meade will
soon be ordered to points In the South
Some Of them may go to Cuba, but the
majority will for the present occupy
the new camps recently selected In
Georgia and South Carolina. Ii is ex.
pected that the troops sent to garrison
duty In Cuba will not remain long, but
when they have ssen service for few
months will return to this country. The
same Is probably true rs 10 Porto Rico.
1t Is also intimated that when the
troops return the volunteers will be
given sixty days furlough and be mus
tered out. BY that time Congress will
have had an opportunity to determine
what shall he done In regard to garri.
soning the new possessions.
This determination Is no doubt due to
pressure that has been brought by
members Of Congress for the mastering
out OF volunteers from their states and
districts. The responsibility for fur
nishing troops for garrison duty gen
orally Will be upon Congress.
