WASHINGTON, Aug 17.-An order has been
issued directing that ten additional regi-
maats of infantry volunteers be organ
tzsd for service in the Philippines. The
reginents will be numbered from thirty
eigbr 10 forty-seven, and viii be organized
at the following places, in the order
named:
Sort Smelling, MINI; Fort Crook, Neb
Fort Riley, Kan; Camp Meade Pa; Fort
NIAGARA. y. Y; Fort Leavenworth. Kan;
Jefferson Barracks, Mo; South Farming
ham Mass; Camp Meade Pa.
Tt appears from to-days orders that the
zen new regiments are to be mainly re-
cru.ted in New England and the Middle
and Central Weste states Kansas and
Pennsylvania have apparently been Sc
lect5d as the best field for recruits. It is
said that no special effort is to be made
to secure recruits in the Southern states
This is due, it is said, to the experience
Of the officers who operated in that quar-
ter for recruits for the ten volunteer reg
iments just now being organized. Tie
only places where difficulty was experience
ed in securing men was in Georgia. Ala
bama the Carolnas the Cuff states and
the Two Northwestern Pacific states.
To-day's action will add 13, ,090 men to
the enlisted strength Of the army and
Increase the total strength to 950i5 men,
The total number of volunteers called
into service is 3O,107 men. being only
4193 short of the total authorized vol
Wtoor establishment of $4,000. 1t is stat
cd at the department thar the number
of volunteers already called into service
is regarded as amply sufficient
to meet all possible needs of
the army, and that there is no posi-
bity that the remaining 4,S93 volunteers
viii be called for.
Yesterdays recruiting for the volunteer
army amounted to 2S9 men, making the
total recruitment to date 14,122. or 1892
4 in excess Of the number required to COM
plete the ten regiments organized under
n the orders of July s. All of these regi-
ments have secured the full quota except
the TWenty-ninth at Fort Mcpherson. Ga
n the Thirty-third at Fort Sam Houston,
n Tex, and the Thirty-ffth at Vancouver
Barracks. These three will be filed by
the use of the overflow from the more
successful regiments. The remainder OF
n th, excess will be used in filling the vol
unteer regiments being slowly organized
IN The Philippines, which are about 1900
h men short.
