MORE TROOPS NEEDED

Washington, Aug. 2-AlthOugh the war
department officials will not admit that
they have any authority to reinforce the
forces at Cavite, there is reason to be-
lieve that some of the troops now in east
.ern camps who desire to see active serv-
ice viii soon find the opportunity unless
the government shall change its plans
with respect to the Philippines. 1t is be-
iisved to be necessary, even if our claim
IS limited to the terms stated in the con-
ditions submitted TO Spain, namely, to the
military occupation and government of
the territory on the shores of the bay of
Manila to furnish General Merritt a
larger force than he now has at his com
mand. 1t is realized that 10000 soldiers
scarcely can be expected to maintain
United States possessions and protect the
inhabitants over a territory Of this eX-
tent, for II must be remembered that the
bay of Manila Is % miles deep from the
entrance at Corregidor island to the city
of Manila at It's head. 1t viii also be nee
essary TO possess and protect a zone ex-
tending some distance back of the city in
order TO make sure of the preservation of
the waterworl1s. OF course a considera-
bic force would not be necessary If the
insurgents under AguinaldO could be
brought to reakze that their interests lie
IN permitting undisputed possession of
flhts territory by the United States. But
1t would be expecting too much Of the
native character 10 keep before the eyes
of the insurgents the rich loot to be had
In Manila. without an adequate force to
protect the place. Then with the grow
ing heat and dampness it is to be expected
that illness will develop among the troops
not to the extent that it has appeared at
Santiago 'but sufficiently to require some
of the men TO be invaded home and their
places to be taken by fresh troops from
the United States. At present the large
majority of General Merritts force is
composed of troops drawn from the Pa
cific coast or far western states. It IS
presumed that If ne should be reinforced
the eastern troops will be given an op-
portunity to make the long voyage to
Manila, as this will be in accord with
the policy that the war department has
now adopted Of taking geographical con-
Biderations into account in tallotting the
troops for active service at the front.

HANNA ON EXTRA SESSION

Cleveland, O., Aug. 2.-Senator Hanna
stated today that an extra session of con-
gress will undoubtedly be called early in
the autumn.
THE beginning of the end of the war is
at hand" said the senator; IAN extra
session will have TO be called in order
to consider the ratification of the terms
of peace. I do not know when President
Mckinley will assemble congress. AS far
as 1 know, no call has yet been issued
for an extra session, but it is sure to come
soon.'
Mr. Hanna is of the opinion that the
war will soon be over. 81 believe that
the negotiations for peace will be accept

New York. Aug. "A cablegram to the
journal from Cavite July so, via Hong
Kong, reports that the correspondent has
spent two days in interviewing the insur-
gent leaders. AS a result, the cores
pondent says, he discovered evidences OF
Jealousy of the American invasion. but
no actual anti-American feeling. The
dispatch adds:
'Aguinaldo is respectful toward Ad-
miral Dewey, General Merritt and Consul
Wildman and Will so any length to retain
Consul Wildman's good opinion, but he
holds back from giving energetic help

He will give only a negative sort of

M'KINLEY TO THE CONTRARY

Washington, D. c., Aug. 2.-There will
be no extra session of congress, though
the senate will have to be called together
for prompt ratification of the treaty of
peace if the present plans of the president
prevail.
1t is stated at the White House that I'M
less there should be some extraordinary
development the house Will not meet until
it convenes in regular session next De-
cember. This statement, made on the au-
thority of the president himself in answer
to inquiries, is in contradictory of reports
circulating among public men that con-
gress will soon meet to draft legislation
to meet the demands that will follow to
the close of the war ,as we'll as give for
NAL assent on the part of the senate to
the treaty. The military occupation of the
territorial acquisitions of this government
will in no wise necessitate further legis-
lation expressly authorizing the contin-
uance of a large military force, according
to the view of the president. Persons who
conferred with the president today posi-
lively assert that there IS no necessity
for special legislation to authorize the
keeping together of the great army of
volunteers. The president. it is under
stood, takes'th ground that the require
ment in the volunteer act for disband-
ment of volunteers on the termination of
the war does not contemplate disbanG
ment until the emergencies that are Incl
dent to this war are over, and does not
prevent the maintenance of large body
of troops in territorial accessions until
order is restored. A well-known public
who was in conference with the pres
ident today suggested that the necessary
military occupation of our conquered ter
ritory would involve the maintenance for
two years of an army Of about 100. 900 men.
