He Decides Not to Take Advantage of tho
Authority Given HIM by tho Department.
WASHINGTON. June 8.-Major- Gen Otis has
informed the War Department that he has de-
cided not to take advantage OF the authority
given him by the Secretary Of War to enlist
native troops In the Philippines. In his de-
spatch on the subject Gen. Otis says that it is
not timely TO do this. He has. however. en-
listed 200 Maccabbe natives. but only for
scouting purposes. They will not be organ
lied into companies. At last Fridays Cabinet
meeting the question Of organizing volunteers
to augment Gen. Otis's command was discussed
at length. and it was decided that authority
should be given Gen. Otis to enlist as many
natives rs he pleased. the only restriction
being that the Filipnos. II Gen. Otis deemed it
wise to take advantage OF the authority. should
be formed into small detachments. On Friday

The military authorities are n OF surprised over
the determination OF Gen Otis not to organize
any Filipino troops. Several months ago au-

Otis each to enlist a battalion OF natives in the

obtained very go1pd results from his batta.
from What Gen. Otis says in his dde espstch
on the subject that he believes 1t would
arms at this time and teach them American
military methods while the instruction is in
progress. The idea of the President and
tives were enlisted In the Philippines they
should not be organized In large bodies was
that the chance Of mutiny or treachery would
be reduced to minimum. The intention OF
the Government has been that native troops
shall have American officers and a sufficient
number Of American non com M ssioned off,
GERS to set them an example in solderly bear
ing aud discipline. Several officers who served
with the immune regiments in Cuba have been
com ssioned in the Porto Rican native bat

Porto Rieans are now eligible is that OF Cor
