TROOPS FOR MANILA.
Next Expedition Will Cross the Allan :
tic Ocean Instead of Pacific.


New York, Dec. IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The next regiments to start for Manila
will EN- bark at New York about the
end OF this month and will go through
the Suez canal. The expedition will
consis: OF three regiments OF regular in
fansry, Distributed between two of the
largest converted transports owned by
the government, with perhaps convoy
of Two warships. Arrangements are
now being made for this expedition by
Adjutan,- General Corbin a. rapidly as
possible. in view OF its great import.
ance, and especially as j, involves co.
operation by the state and navy de-
partment authorities, as we'll as those
OF the war department.
The decision TO use New York as the
point of EN- barkation instead of San
Francisco. whence all the earlier forces
started for the Philippines, was reached
by General Corbin after a careful re-
view Of a number OF considerations,
chief among which was the urgency
for haste. The early com pietiou OF the
treaty of peace with Spain renders in
dispensable a prompt increase OF the
American forces. not only az Manila.
but to provide additional garrisons for
importan, centers in the archipelago.
which will immed lately fall under
American domination with its accom-
panving responsibility for the security
OF life and property.
AT the present time the government
is wholly without available transports
in the Pacific ocean to meet the emer-
gency. The dispa.ch OF two vessels
from the Atlantic, it is believed, will
therefore be particularly advantageous
for the double purpose of bringing
home from Manila such volunteers as
can soon be spared, and increasing the
transport fleet in the Pacific. The
three regiments of regulars have not
been selected. but as none but those
now in New York state and other At
lantic garrisons can be spared. the con.
cluslon was forced upon the authorities
that economy as we'll as rapiditv OF
action required them TO be sent by vav
OF the Mediterranean instead of Jour.
neylng across the continent and then
Undertaking the trying and monotonous
voyage on the Pacific with no haven of
rest after leaving Hawaii.
Actual steaming distance for full
powered vessels from New York to
Manila, via Suez, is given by naval
photographers as 1905 knots, while
that from San Francisco TO Manila, via
Honolulu, is given as 1850 knots. To
Manila from New York by way of the
cape OF Good Hope is 1855 miles, and
by way OF the Straits OF Magellan and
Samoa it is Is, 500 miles.

The language OF diplomacy is always
restrained, but while the words are
carefully chosen so as 70 avoid uun.-re,.-
sary offenSe. every phrase has definite
meaning. When Lord Ro>ebey-y was

the equatorial provinces In Africa from
which the Egyptian carrisons had been
withdrawn during the Soudan rebellion.

the waters OF the Nile would he regard
81 by the British Government as an
unfriendly act" In ordinary CONVEX
s2Jion these three words would not be
emphasized by any stress Of voice, nor
would they ordinarily be accepted as a
warning. The man who protests In adj
vance against an invasion Of his rights
generally uses a stronger word than
'unfriendly." He refers to il as a ivan.

than as a manifestation OF an unfriend-

The phrase seems mild and lacking IN
emphasis. AS diplomatists have under.

definite. The Monroe doctrine. with the
warning implied by the single word
''unfriendly,' has suficed for seventy.
