Thirty.Fiye Thousand Volunteers
Needed.

CHICAGO, June 27.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: AS a
result of conference between the
president and Secretary Alger, it has
been decided to begin the enlistment
Of volunteers for two years service in
the Philippines.
Orders to recruiting officers to this
effect will be sent ont tomorrow. II
is proposed to arm and equip at once
three brigades, or about 10000 men,
and then to continue the work until
the whole $4,000 authorized by the law
are secured. There will be no call
upon the States. The regiments will
be organized as United States volun-
teers. Officers will be appointed by
the president and assigned to regi-
naents without regard to State lines.
The maximum of the regular army of
$4,000 men has been secured, and now
enlistments will be for the provisional
army to make up the total strength OF
100000 men. Gen. Otis has $4,000 men
on the ground or under orders, and
volunteers will be rushed to him until
he has an efficient force Of $4,000 men.
In the enlistments for the United
States volunteers OF the late war, in
Guiding those who did not get beyond
the home camps, but were seasoned,
will be given the preference, and the
same will be true of officers. A briga-
der general for every three regiments
and major general for each division
of three brigades Will be appointed.
They will be part regulars and part
volunteers, and Gen. Joe Wheeler will
be among the number.
