worse now. Doubtless there is much

At Least, Conditions VIII Have TO

at Present I'm Order to Warrant
Further EpIistments-Otis Can
Have All He Needs.

Washington. June 1.-The president
declared to congressional caller that
there was not at present any contem-
plation of largely increasing Gen. Otis
forces in the Philippines. He said that
nothing had been received from Gen.
Otis which indicated the necessity for
mere troops beyond the regulars who
are to be sent to relieve the retiring
volunteers.
Would he Furnished If Needed.
But, the president added, if addi-
tional reinforcement become necessary
they will be promptly furnished. A
number of governors of states had ad
vised him that they could furnish regi-
ments in short order if the occasion
required. But at the same time the
president expressed his strong belief
and confidence that the necessity for
mastering in additional volunteers in
accordance with the authority granted
by the army reorganization bill will
moi arise.
Secretary A1Ger Talks.
Secretary Alger was with the presi
dent some time discussing the situa
ton. When he left the White House he
denied that Gen. Otis had cabled, Sun
day, that 10000 troops would be neces
sary. Gen. Otis, said he, had been noti-
| fed from time to time that all the
troops he considered necessary would
BE- supplied to him, and not a word of
complaint has come from him.
Cabied to Gen. Otis.
"This morning / cabled to Otis, Civ
| Ing him definite information as to the
number of regulars he would have af
ter the volunteers We're withdrawn.
Including the Nineteenth infantry,
which was delayed at Ponce by the
stranding of the transport Meade, he
will have 5000 regulars. | asked him
| IF more than that number would be re-

| cause, if volunteers must be mustered
in it will require all the time between
now and the end of the rainy season

Additional Regulars If Necessary.
"We could, if necessary, furnish Gen.
| Otis with about 5000 or 5000 addition
al regulars without calling for volun-
teers, but the sending of the additional
regulars would reduce the troops at
the military post in this country to a
minimum, and cramp us somewhat in

can furnish without enlisting volun-
