TO GO TO MANILA
Five Regiments Have Received Orders
to Leave San Francisco.
The Order is in Accordance With the Gem
eraI Plan of the War Department Re-
garding Garrison of 10000 Men
for the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2O.-Five legi-
been ordered to Manila Arrange
ments for their transportation will be
made at once
The regiments ordered are the fol-
lowing: Thirty-frst Iowa. Goth Kan
sas, 1st Tennessee, 1st Washington and
a detachment of the I'd Oregon.
1t was stated at the war department
that no exigency had arisen which
made it necessary to send the troops
now at San Francisco to Manila, but
the order issued Monday was in ac-
cordance with the general plan of the
department regarding garrison for
the Philippines. That plan of garri-
son duty included 10000 men for the
Philippines, 10, 500 for Porto Rico, and
60, 900 for Cuba. The troops to be sent
to Manila under Mondays order will
fill the complement for that station.
Troops would have been sent before, it
was said, except that the department
was awaiting the return of transports.
1t is not expected that troops now at
Honolulu will accompany those to be
embarked at San Francisco, but that
more troops will be sent to Honolulu
in the near future.
