TOLUNTEERS MUST REMAIN AT MANILA.
NO WAY OF RELIEVING THEM AT PRESENT. THE
WAR DEPARTMENT SAYS.


Washington. Nov. lG-Groat pressure is being
brought TO bear on the War Department 10 have
thu volunteer troops in the Philippines
turn TO this country. Nearly every State which
has troops stationed at Manila has asked through
its Governor or Representatives in Congress that
the men be sent home. This pressure through
the relatives and friends Of the volunteers and is
started by the troops who have been writing home
Some Of these letters. published in papers at the
homes OF the enlisted men, have created great
sympathy for the volunteers in Manila. While
they do not tell OF great hardships. except among
those who ill., they show that the life is OBJ
noxous and that the duty OF policing the city OF
Manila and remaining inactive is disagreeable.
1t is said at the War Department that there Is
way OF relieving these troops from duty In the
Philippines the present time. The uncertain
conditions in the island OF Luzon make It utterly
impossible get along with a smaller number
Than Is stationed there AT present General Otis
has been asked by cable II troops could be spared
and has replied in the negative The great de
mand that has been made for mastering out OF
volunteer regiments individual members of such
regiments will form the basis Of strong recon-
mendation in the message Of the President for an
increase OF the Regular Army. This force will be
needed to take the place Of the volunteers who de-
sire to return home and leave the service.
