FORCE FOR THE PHILIPPINES
Mill Not BE Raised to Twenty
Thousand Men.
ONLY 10000 ARE TO BE SEM
General Merritt Is Said to Have Been
Promised the Larger Number, but
He Won't Get II.

New York June 12.--It may be stated
with positiveness that the war department
has no intention OF sending any more troops
to San Francisco for the Philippines eX-
petition than have already been ordered
there, says the Washington correspondent
of the Times.
General Merritt announced before he left
New York that he wanted at least 10000
men to take to Manila and he intended to
have that number. 1t was generally &c
cepted here that General Merritt won his
point and that the war department prom
ised him the men he asked for. 1t is now
stated that instead of the 1000 men he has
been counting on, only 10000 have been
assembled at San Francisco and that the
future governor general of the Philippines
is getting uneasy about the other 1000.
Adiutant General Corbin has several
times recently. in response to direct in
quries, stated that 1t was not intended
to send any more troops to the Philippines
than those already selected for that work.
He was asked the same question today IN
view of San Francisco reports about Gen
eral Merritts insisting on more men, ana
he answered again that there was no in
tention of ordering any more additional
REGIMENTS to Manila at this time
If the assertion telegraphed from San
Francisco that 10000 troops are already
massed there, counting those who have
gone to Manila, it is estimated that the
recruiting of these regiments to their maxi
mum strength, as is bsing done under the
second volunteer call. will eventually raise
the strength of the force to very nearly
20 900.
II is thought to be probable that the war
department is depending upon this means
TO MI it out as the recruits can be sent
on after the transports have lett Win the
regiments to which they belong.

New York. June l2.--!Tomas Estrad
Palma has just issued an appeal for neeu
mary AID Tor tho Cuban cause. The appes
follows:
In view OF the enormous expenditure
Oh money necessary to cut and land
Voiuntoer contingent OF Cubans from
this country. and the added assurance
which we have received from the dir-
lefent cuban generals in the Held com
nahdlnB tho various divisions IN the

thousand men In those parts who are
anxious 10 Join the army OF liberation,
but are unprovidod with arms and am-
munition with which TO fight. the dele
tion has felt JUSTIFIED IN the ACTOR
which 1t has taken not to call for adj
ditional Cuban volunteers for the pres,
tnt Mt least.
The cost is too great for the fund.-
al our disposal and VIC find that Gu
bans on the island can be equipped at
less expense. IL Is possible, at some
later time, that II may be opportune to
ask for further volunteers: but VIC al
ready have fully 400 Cubans now In
camp at Tampa ready to form a second
division.
to do all In our power TO aid those who
have already gone and remain united
and helping each other In the grand
struggle which is being made for Gu
ban independence. lt is a grave uu-
dcrtaklng which Is liable 10 result In
serious consequences for our Cuban
brethren in other foreign countries.
During the brief time which has
elapsed since the declaration OF war
was made. many most extraordinary
expenses have been incurred and these
have all had to be met promptly. The
extra expenses Will in all probability
continue to arise from time to time.
and we are unable to anticipate them.
The Cuban Republic has been de-
clnred free and independent and II Is
necessary for Cuban patriots 10 lend
their aid to II and support and provide
for It. 1t is OF the utmost importance
that we, should have the fuu u to car
ry on our work.
II we have not mony with which to
meet our obligations we expose our
selves TO discredt and dishonor among
our brethren OF the United States who
have Joined with US TO hight for us and
the impression which We would convey
would be an unfavorabte one and that
beautiful example OF abnegation, union
and discipline which the Cuban patrt-
OTIS have given to all the world should
appeal to the patriotism OF every Gu
ban In this and other countries.
trust that they Will all hearken
to the call OF duty and continue to
contribute their pecuniary aid to the
cause OF Cuban independence and lib
orty. each In proportion to his means
and ability, that We may complete our
mission in good faith and In good
standing.

The announcement that the troops or

the departing soldiers grand send off;

passage of the troops through the

departure from the Fort was postponed
