PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
semi-OmeisI Statement of Plan 70 he

In Puerto Rico Also.

Washington, june 2.-For the first
time since the beginning of hostilities
there appears to be something in the
nature of an official statement of the
plan of campaign of the United States
government. This is contained in a let
ter of Secretary Alger 10 the speaker
OF the house, transmitting certain rec
concentrations, and statements of Gen.
Ludlow. which disclosed the purpose of
he war department to send 10000 men
70 Cuba, 10000 TO start at once and the
remainder just as soon as they can be
made ready for departure. Then there
was an estimate for establishing cleo
trical communication in connection
with the army Gin Cuba, Puerto Rico
and the Philippines" showing for the
first time officially an implied intention
on the part of the government TO land
troops in Puerto Rico. OF course al
these movements have been anticipated
by the press. but nevertheless n strong
element Of doubt existed, and therefore
an official statement of the govern
ment's purposes, made even in this in
direct fashion, created profound SEN
sation here. The three are to go to-
gether-Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Phil
ippines-and pass into the military oc-
cupation of the United States troops.

Washington, June 2.-Adjt. Gen. Cor
bin has completed arrangements for
the recruitment of $4,000 additional
troops under the second call for vol
unteers. 1t has been decided, however
to withhold the appointment of the
different states and territories from
publication for the present for the
reason that such publication at this
time would tend to embarrass and de-
lay the officials of the department in
the organization of the new regiments.
According to the plans already form
ulated $4,000 troops will be required to
recruit the regiments of the existing
organizations up to their maximum
strength, leaving only $4,000 troops to
be mustered in for the organization OF
entirely new regiments.
