SOLDIERS FOR PHILIPPINES
Fresh Troops Arrive at Mantla-Gen
Otis Will Not he Re-
lfeved.

Manila, July 25.-The United States
transport Sheridan, which sailed from
San Francisco June 25, with reinforce
ments for Gen. E. S. Otis, has arrived
here. On July 16, great waterspout
was discovered directly in the course
of the ship, and to avoid it, it was neces-
sary to make detour of several miles.
On board the transport Sheridan, the
arrival of which at Manila is reported
above, were Brig. Gen. Samuel B. NJ.
Young, and aides, Col. Daggett, Maj.
Quinton; companies B and II, of the
Fourteenth infantry, $50 enlisted men
and two company officers; troops A
and F, Fourth cavalry, seven officers
and 173 enlisted men; Lieut.. Moss and
rs men of the Twenty-fourth infantry,
eight hospital corps men and Al mem
bers of the signal corps, as we'll as 1,24s
recruits for the regiment already in
the Philippines.
Washington, July 25.-The president
has no intention of relieving Gen. Otis
from the military command in the Phil
ippines. He had seriously thought at
one time of assigning an officer of high
rank to command the forces in the
field, leaving Gen. Otis to perform the
administrative duties as governor gen.
eral. The president had two PROPOSE
lions before him-one to make Lawton
the commanding officer of the fighting
forces, and the other to send Merritt
back to his old place. The latter as
signment would mean the subordina-
ton of Gen. Otis as governor general to
Gen. Merritt, who outranks him by reg
ular as we'll as volunteer title. Both
ideas have now been abandoned.
