Washington. D. c., March 1.-The
Secretary of War has ordered
the reinforcement OF General Otis by
six regiments. These are the Sixth
Artillery. scattered along the Atlantic
coast States; the Sixth Infantry, at San
Antonio: the Ninth Infantry, at Madl-
son Barracks; Thirteenth Infantry, in
at Plattsburg, N. y. and the Sixteenth
Infantry. at Fort Crook and neighbour
ing posts in the middle West.
These regiments have been ordered
TO make ready to proceed to San Fran
cisco and then to Manila.
MAY REMAIN THERE.
In answer to the direct question as to
whether or not regular troops are land
ed TO relieve Il corresponding number of
volunteer soldiers at Manila, it was
said at the War Department that while
this probably would be the case, il was
not possible yet TO make IL positive
statement. This means that if, when
the reinforccments arrive ut Manila.
the conditions are satisfactory the vol
