THE DEMANDS INCREASE
Otis Now Says He Needs Forty thousand
Men.
THE VOLUNTEERS ARE NOT RE-ENlISTlNG
lie want. Two Thousand Nen for
the Two Regiments TINT He II
tn Raise IN Manila.

New York. July a special to the
Herald from Washington says Having
heard from General Otis that he needs
esSs men to fill up the regular regiments
and about 5000 men for the two volunteer
regiments he was authorized to enlist
orders will be issued tomorrow for the en-
llstment OF $4,000 men. This will actual
ly give Otis about $4,000 men. Allowing
| II per cent for disease wounds, etc,
which he states as the present percentage
OF ineffective, he will have. instead OF
an effective force of so, 900 men, one of
nearly $4,000.
The war department has anticipated
the need of men for the regular regiments
and has sent 1000 recruits unassigned 10
Manila within two weeks. Four thosand
recruits are now being drilled at the
Preside and will sail the middle of the
month, leaving only 33s more men to be
supplied to the regular regiments.
II is confidently predicted that by Aug
ust the eight regiments TO be organized
In this country and 2Q00 men required for
the two volunteer regiments at Manila VIII
be READY to proceed 10 Otis aid. In order
to put the volunteers in an effective condi-
ton as rapidly as possible, eight military
posts, one for each regiment, will he Sc
lecied TO which recruits will be sent, as
follows plattsbnrg barracks. \. Y;
Fort Thomas Ky; Columbus barracks,
o., Fort Sheridan, IN; Leavenworth,
Kas., and the Preside. Calf. and proba-
bly, Fort Crook, Neb,, and Vancouver bar
racks
The vacancies existing In the regular
regiments under General 0tis command
represent men whose terms OF enlistment
have expired and not casualties. Most of
the vacancies exist In the regiments which
sail for Manila with Merritt. or these
volunteers 1859 still remain in Manila
and they will be returned as quickly as
possible
The fact thut Otis has reduced to
two regiments the number TO he or
annized nj Mnniin and has nsiScd
for 2O0e men to hlI them up, shows
that he has had much difficulty ia
obtain re-enlistmcnts of volunteers.
Ii is estimated that he has OBJ
tanned only 500 men. not enough
to form one regiment.
Under the Instructions to recruiting Of
fcers, enlistment for three year recruits.
intended for regular regiments, and en-
listments Of volunteers for two years will
be made. In the case of volunteers there
will be no restrictions as to citizenship
or educational qualification. Recruiting
officers have previously been compelled TO
reject men who were not citizens of the
United States or uneducated and have
gone SO far as to throw out men who were
hatfooted. While ii is intended to obtain
as high a class of men for the volunteer
service as possible, II is pointed cut that
the law will allow the enlistment of re-
cruits showing sufficient intelligence to
perform duty as American soldiers.

New York. July 1.-The Times London
financial correspondent says: "our end
of the half year money scrimmage has
been gone through with with comparative
ease. Borrowings from the Bank of Eng
land have been about as usual--ten mil
lions-but now money will be cheap fol

have been loaded with many securities,
and also enormous bull positions have
been created in speculative markets which
there is no hope of liquidating at present.
thanks to the political outlook al home
The extent to which the market is clog
ged cannot be judged by the slow but
steady fan in oonsuls and by the prices
now asked for new issues of first class
securities. Part OF the fall in consuis
is due to bear sales, but 1t is mostly the
result of efforts to realize capital so as tc
find means to hold new securities rashly
subscribed for.
Two years ago the London county coun-
cil-whose gross debt is now upward OF
$40 900. O00--offered e2,5000 900 OF its new
2 1-2 per cent stock at par and sold " AT
IA few shillings above par. Next week
the council will ask tenders for Gl,50o.OO0
more of the same stock and has fixed 30
as its minimum figure. Even at that figure
the market is disncIined to he tender and
the stock will probably go hut slightly
above the minimum. partly into the mid
dlemsn's hands Here again is proof that
the market is overburdened.
But ii is still abroad where the trouble
to credit brews Your gold may save the
position in Paris at the settlement next
week, yet with all such help 1t is preca
rious enough, And small wonder. for the
French have been plunging most wildly
for years in all directions and now with
trouble perhaps in South Africa with
Spain on the brink of revolution, with
Italy falling toward financial chaos, diff
ficulties beset the market on all sides.
To make matters worse. France. like
Germany. has been indulging too freely
in imitation Of our company mongering
and share rigging so that there is the
same mase of rubbish and inflated prices
there as here. In the long run, no amount
of gold can avert dangerous liquidation
Should Europe this year suffer the anlic-
ton of another short harvest, as seems
possible, nothing in my view, can avert
widespread disaster. Thus the market is
smooth on the surface like stage full
of troops.
