Jorgensens Will Leave Shortly
for the Islands.
1t was learned last week that the or
ders In preparation for the movement
of regulars to the tropics would send
5000 of these troops to the Philippines.
In this connection the war department
has also ordered about $4,000 Krag-
Jorgensen rifles to arm the troops now
in the Philippines and those who will
be sent there. The ordnance depart
ment has received information that
about 10000 of the Krag-Jorgensen
are now ready for shipment. They
will go forward in a day or two, with
proportionate amounts of ammunition
with smokeless powder, from San
Francisco.
The war department has in view the
policing of the whole of the Philippine
islands. 1t is not practicable or wise
to reduce the garrison at Manila while
events which are expected to take
place early will make 1t necessary to
send garrisons to all of the cities and
towns in the Philippines group at
which Spain has maintained q force
for the protection of the cities.
The military policy in the Philip
pines is to be precisely that which Is
now being carried out in Cuba. The
Government will either by the right of
conquest or of the treaty of peace be
obliged to police all the ports Of the
Philippines.
The pending orders contemplate the
use only of regulars. 1t was stated.

were included in the 1000 ordered to

Admiral Dewey and Lieutenant Hob
mand the highest price in the literary
market. Admiral Dewey has thus far
refused all bidders. The editor of a
magazine cabled to him recently an of

by cable was:

Lieutenant Hobson, the Merrimac

two magazines for an article describ-
ing his exploit at Santiago. Lieutenant
Hobson, though a modest hero and a
sincere. straightforward officer. put
himself in the hands of a lawyer, who
managed to obtain $4,000 for the article
which Lieutenant Hobson is soon to
