WASHINGTON, May 3O.-The Post"
tomorrow will say: General Otis has
informed the War Department that he
will be satisfied if the army under his
command is kept at a maximum of 80,
OOO. The President will give him this
number.
The situation in the Philippines was
the subject of an extended conference
jutant General Corbin. In view of the
more or less alarming reports which
have been sent to the United States
from Manila, it is important to know
that the President does not share in
the anxiety which these dispatches
have created
General Otis has kept in close touch
with the authorities here, and if he
was in a tight position, which the press
reports seem to indicate, it is felt that
he would not hesitate about making
his dilemma known. On the contrary,
the advices received from him show
that he is not in need of a largely in
creased army. He has cabled that press
reports of activity of the insurgents
south of Manila have been greatly eX-
aggerated and he thinks 10000 men
The present strength of the army in
the Philippines, including volunteers
who are still in the service, is 5000.
When the volunteers return, some 24,-
GOO regulars will remain, or 5000 less
than the number estimated as neces-
sary by General Otis. The reinforce
ments now en- route to Manila, or I'M
der orders to depart, will bring the total
II n IN tba hI1+
as there will be considerable loss
through sickness, it is proposed to de-
crease the companies now stationed in
mum and increase the companies in the
Philippines to the maximum. 1t is ie-
lieved this arrangement will give Cen
eral Otis all the men he requires, with
out disarranging the army, as it is at
present distributed.
1t can be stated on authority that
unless General Otis asks for an addi-
tional force, there will be no enlarge
ment of the army, not even to the ex-
tent of recruiting the $4,000 natives pro-
vided for in the army reorganization bill
which passed the last Congress.
Secretary Alger tonight cabled Cen
eral Otis to advise him at once what
further reinforcements he may need,
after the arrival of all the regular
troops to be dispatched to the Philip
pines to replace the volunteers whose
time is out. Secretary Alger has fur
nished General Otis detailed informa-
ton as the plan of assignment of the
regiments to his command Pending
General Otis report, final decision in
further augmentation of Otis forces
will be deferred.
