Active Preparations Being Made by
the War Department,

WASHINGTON. May THE details
for the proposed expedition 20 the Phil
ippines under the direction of the War
Department have been advanced mate
rally as a result Of conferences held to-
day between Secretary Alsr. General
Miles and other officers Of the army.

about 5000 men. viii start from san
Frsnc.sco as soon as arrangements can
Doe perfected. IL ls not yet finally deter
mined whether all the troops Will go 90
once although this is not thought 10 be
lk-ly, nor has the exact composition been
fully decided upon.
SELECTING TROOPS.
The statement was made this afternoon
that Doc addition To- the regular soldiers.
the quotas of the National Guard from
the States oi California idaho Oregon
and Washington win in AN probability
be detailed 90 go and an order for their
rendezvous al san Francisco is expected
very soon.
Senator Shoup's company Of riAemen,
which was TO join one OF the three spe-
cially authorized regiments of mounted
men. is mentioned as likely to De- sent.
As for the regular army troops. there
are two regiments of cavalry four COM
panics Of the fourteenth Infantry and
regiment Of artillery readily accessible
10 san Francisco. The four companies
Of infantry were stationed az Vancouver
Barracks but. 81 is said, have recently
been ordered 10 san Francisco. ten COM
panies OF the Third Artillery are scat
tered along the coast. but the greater
number are in California; the Fourth
Cavalry is distributed among the posts
and forts in Washington. California, wy
oming and Idaho and the Eighth Cavalry
is I'm North and South Dakota.
SEND CAVALRY.
General Miles believes that It would
be- advisable 10 have cavalry troops ac-
company the infantry and artillery. for
the reason that they would be valuable for
patrol duty. The number, however. Ie-
cessarily would bee limited. because OF the
great amount OF room required for the
transportation OF horses. The matter OF
arms and equipments for the military
with any ordnance supplies Jhat may
be necessary would b. met by the War
Department from the Bcnecia AIRS maj. in
California. For transportation purposes
the war DEPARTMENT say there Is no lack
OF available vessels on me coast.
II rs said al the department that a
commander for the troops 40 30 10 tho

TO the final outcome OF the gathering.
10 Is pretty well understood. however
that the question as to who will command
the company after It has been mustered
into the United States service, has given
no little concern 10 its members. IL mas
been tntimated on several occasions that
Captain Mills will ne. be able TO accom-
pany his men, but this assertion has so
far lacked official confirmation.
The members OF the company. however,
appear 10 be anxious 20 ascertain as soon
as possible who Is going 10 command
them, especially since the statement mas
been made that an outsider would ps
