MORE TROOPS FOR Otis
General Miles Recommends Ten
Additional Regiments.
FIFTY THOUSAND MEN NOT ENOUGH

General Marcus p. Miller Declares That
CURED for the Restoration of Peace and
Order in the PhiIippines-Other Officers
of the Same Opinion - General Otis
Sends Statement of the Situation.
Miles is a strenuous advocate of the
dispatch of large reinforcements to
General Otis in the Philippines Gen.
eral Miles declined to discuss the mill
tary situation in the Philippines other
than to say that it was serious" nor
would he give any idea of the number
of troops he thought should now be
sent to the Philippines to place the
archipelago under American control.
General Miles, as far back as April
recommended that ten OF the volunteer
regiments which the president is au-
fhorized to raise under the army reor-
ganization law be reorganized and sent
to Manila At that time officers at army
headquarters believed this force would
be sufficient to crush the rebellion. In
view Of the strength developed by the
guine that ten regiments are enough.
Fifty Thousand Not Sufficient
There will be 1900 men in the ten
regiments, the advisability of raising
which the war department is now con-
sidering but well-informed officers say
the force of $4,000 men which General
Otis will have when the reinforcements
are placed at his disposal will not be
sufficient. Besides the island of Luzon,
there are many other islands in the
archipelago in which this government
will have to restore peace and order,
and in the more important ones there
are organized bodies prepared to resist
occupation by American troops.
General Marcus P. Miller, who re-
Gently arrived from the Philippines,
where he governed Iloilo, has been lv-
ing here since his return. General
Miller's views as to the number Of men
required for the subjugation Of the ISL
ands is very different from that of Gen
aral Otis He believes $1,000 men at
least are required-30,0 900 for the con-
troll OF Luzon and the remainder for the
restoration of peace and order in the
otner lslands. ...1e - $50.
- Mckinley Satisfied with Otis.
General Miller's view comedies with
General Lawton's and that Of other OFF,
GERS subordinate to General Otis. In
fact, in other than administration cir
cles there is a disposition to believe
General Otis estimate of the number
or men required was made when he
knew Of the desire Of the president not
Il raise volunteers IL possible to
avoid It. '.F-s sS4=sr->-... ~
There IL no truth in the story that
General Miles has applied to be sent to
Manila. General Miles would not wish
70 take any action to displace General
Otis, when that officer is doing all he
can to quell the rebellion with the linn
fted means at his command. Notwith-
standing the report to the contrary,
the president is satisfied with General
Otis course and has no intention Of
relieving or recalling him. 1t Is equally
untrue, II is asserted by Acting Secre-
fary Meiklejohn that General Otis has
cabled that he will be compelled to re-
treat unless promptly reinforced.
