THERE are I'm the United States SO
military posts, garrisoned by the reg
ular army, besides Is depots and arsen-
ais, distributed among eight general
departments, known respectively as
the departments of the East, of Mis-
souri,, of the Platte, of Dakota, of Colo
RADIO, of the Columbia, of California,
and of Texas. Cavalry companies are
stationed at 80 posts, of which only
three are east of the Mississippi river.
Previous to the recent large increase in
the standing army by the authority of
congress there were altogether in the
permanent stats of the army only
about $40 officers, lis of them being in
the engineer corps. Chaplains, ofwhom
there were only 20 until recently, have
the rank of captain, and the head of
each staff department has the rank of
brigadier general. Under the new
army bill, II major generals and 25
brigadier generals were appointed by
the president May 4.

THERE is report current that Spain
has offered to cede Tangies and the
Philippines to France if the latter will
aid Spain in the war against the United
States. There may be less reason to
doubt that such proposition has been
made than there is that there is any
likelihood of it's acceptance, if the re-
port has any foundation in fact. Spain
undoubtedly could, if she would, de-
liver to France possession of the North
west coast of Morocco, but with the
Philippines it is a different matter.
She can't "deliver the goods" there.
She might execute an instrument
somewhat in the nature of first-claim
deed, but it would have little value,
with the United States fleet under Adj
miral Dewey in Manila harbor, and
thousands of American soldiers hasten
ing across the great Pacific to hold fast
to the rich possession which the gallant
admiral and his brave men secured.

THERE is certainly room for honest
difference of opinion as to the wisdom
of such radical departure from the
traditional policy of the nation in re.
spect to territorial expansion beyond
its natural borders as would be involved
by the retention of the Philippines and
their occupation as a permanent pos
session of the United States. But it is
not easy to see how any loyal citizen
can deprecate the fact or the manner Of
their seizure. or bow any one who iusti-
fies our Intervention to Spain's barbar-
Gus rule In Cuba could look with equa-
nimity upon the restoration of the
Philippines to Spain and the perpetua-

eminent in Cuba. Circumstances I'M
foreseen and conditions which our gov
eminent did not create led to the
seizure of the Philippines, and how
ever desirable 1t might be to dispose OF
them to some friendly, progressive
and humane power, such q solution OF
the problem does not now seem prob
able, because of the relations existing
among the European nations with re-
spect to territorial extension and COM
mercial expansion in the Orient. We
may have to hold the Philippines
whether we want them or not.

THE MANILA SITUATION.

0paniards Beg ginning to Realize That Spain
Has Not Been Victorious
MANILA, July %, via Hong Kong,
Aug. 1.-The Spaniards are gradually
realizing that Spain has not been vic
sorious, that the expected reinforce
ments are not coming, and that the
contest is utterly hopeless. The in-
surgents are in overwhelming numbers
and the Spaniards can only obtain the
bare necessities of life.
Only fortnightago Spanish national
pride was rampant, but il - npw merg-
ing into Indignation a Is feeble
ness and regret that y eere born
Spaniards. While they lever sur
render without a fight. the Spanish
officers will jump at the first honorable
opportunity to SUI render. They fear
national disgrace too much TO give in
without fight.
The fighting in the suburbs is desul-
tory and the Americans are idle. This
has given rise TO a report that they
had determined to suspend operations
until September, and by that time
peace Will probably be concluded.
Then, it is asserted here, the Ameri-
cans may permanently annex the Car
oline islands and the Ladrone islands,
and possibly abandon the Philippines
with the exception of keeping a coallng
station here.
Although the insurgents have re-
doubled their efforts, they have hitherto
been unable to capture the citadel. On
the other hand the Spaniards are not
able to re-establish their suze,ainty.
Under the circumstances, it seems
evident that somebody :..ust interfere
in the name Of humanity.
Some insrrgent shells have been
thrown into the citadel, bat they do
NOT appear TO have done msch damage.
The natives are reported 10 be srary-
ing by thousands and the Europeans
are also hard pressed tor TODD.

But Further Legislation Is Be-
ieved to Be Unnecessary for
the Present.
Volunteers Can Serve Until the
Emergencies of the War
Are Over.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-There will be
no extra session of congress. though
the senate will have to be called to.
gether for the prompt ratification Of
the treaty Of peace if the present plans
OF the president prevail 1t is stated
at the White House that unless there
shonld be some extraordinary develop
ment, the house will not meet until it
convenes in regular session next De-
cember. This statement, made on
authority of the president himself, in
answer to personal inquiries, is in con-
tradiction to reports current among
public men, that congress will soon
meet to draft legislation to meet the
demands that WILL follow the close of
the war, as Well as give formal assent
on the part o: the senate to the treaty.
The military occupation Of the terri
torial acquisitions OF this government
will in nowise necessitate further legis.
lation expressly authorizing the con-
tinuance of large military force, &C.
corning TO the view OF the PRESIDENT.
Persons who conferred with the presi-
dent positively assert that there is no
necessity tor special legislation to au.
thorize the keeping together of the great
army of volunteers. The president takes
the ground, it is understood, that the
requirement in the volunteer act for
the disbandment at the termination Of
the war, does not contemplate the dis
bandment until the emergencies that
are incident to this war are over, and
does not prohibit the maintaining of q
large body of troops in our territorial
accessions until order is restored. A
well known public man who was in
conference with the president, suggest
ed that to the necessary military occu-
patton Of our conquered territory would
involve maintenance for two years Of
an army of about 100000.
