TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

BY TELBCRAFH TO THE TRIBUNE.
Washington, June s.-An incident which occurred
to-day in the ordinary routine Of the War Depart
ment. which shows the remarkable efficiency OF the
Adjutant-Generars office and which is scarcely dif:
ferent from many others OF similar nature which
have passed unnotced IN the excitement OF the last
year, developed by order which General Cor
bin caused TO be telegraphed TO the recruiting officers
at stations In the East. authorizing them 10 enlist
eight hundred men for service with the 18th In
fantry the Philippines. This regiment which has
Just returned from Porto Rico. twelve hundred
strong. Is to be increased TO sixteen hundred men
before II crosses the Pacific on the Hancock rext
month 1t appears that four hundred OF Its men did
not care to 60 to the Philippines preferring TO take
advantage OF the law under which they enlisted.
FOR the period of the war" Onethird Of the COM
mand all of them men who had been in the service
only about year. have applied for their discharges
which will be furnished soon they can be mus
tered out at Camp Meade.
General Corbin expects that the required eight
hundred will be obtained by next Saturday
night and. what is more remarkable, they will not
be raw recruits ignorant OF arms and military mat
ters but will be for the most part men who have
seen service and have been taking rest after last
years fighting campaigns in Cuba and Porto Rico
In fact. many OF these men have been waiting for
just such an opportunity the vacancies In the
18th offer 10 them. and with the excellent ma
chInery OF recruiting that has been built up in the
last year and half the required number OF men
will be available for duty with the regiment at
Camp Meade next week.
Some idea OF the importance OF the recruiting d.
vision OF the Adjutant- Generals Department OF the
Army is to be gained from the following table, pre-
pared to-day in the War Department. giving the

The conclusions drawn by War Department
officials from General Otis's dispatch are that
the insurgents are little more than marauding
bands. which will continually decrease when
the men find that life and liberty are secure
under American government These bands are
regarded as something like the bands OF Ind
ians twenty-five and thirty years ago, and the
people who are coming into the American lines
asking protection are considered like those who
sought protection in the forts during the early
