THE TELEGRAM TO OTIS.
Explanation of the Action of the War
DPpartmeut,

The action in sending a telegram of in
quiry to Gen. Otis is due to the frequently
circulated stories of the insuffciency of the
force in the Philippines to cope with the
situation. 1t has been smphatically denied
by the War Department that Gen. Otis has
ever asked for more men than the depart
ment was sending him, but almost every
officer of prominence in the Philippines
has been quoted at one time or an
other, either in press dispatches. pri-
vate conversation or private letters as
declaring that 100000 men would be neces-
sary to crush the insurrectiOu and to hold
the country quiet after the actual fighting
was over. Ii has been freely admitted that
Lawtons latest retrograde movement from
San lsidro, when he fell back on Arayat
and San Fernando, leaving q large stretch
the insurgents, was due simply to lack of
sufficient men to hold the country that had
been captured
In this retreat Aguinaldo was enabled to
return from Tarlac, twenty miles north
and west Of San Isidro, and occupy that
town and other places further down the
river, within two days after LaWton had
abandoned them. Lawton himself has been
quoted as saying that 100000 men were
necessary to hold the island and army Off
GERS here pointed out this movement as a
striking evidence of the truth Of Lawton's
statement.
A statement has been prepared at the
War Department showing the strength and
availability of the forces both in this coun
try and at present in the Philippines. This
statement was before the President this
morning in his conference with Secretary
Alger in regard to the necessities of the
situation. The total authorized force of
the regular army is 650o0 men, but the
actual strength is 5000 short of that NUM-
ber.
Active recruiting Is In progress in all
parts of the country and the deficiency will
be supplied in a very short time. Several
weeks ago Gen. Otis notified the War De-
partmeut that he thought 10000 men We're
sufficient for the purposes of executing the
administration policy in the Philippines.
Secretary Alger is authority for the state
ment that nothing has been heard from
General Otis since to indicate that he had
Increased this estimate. The statement pre-
pared by the War Department shows that
with all the reinforcements now on their
way or under orders for the Philippines
General Otis will have q, 900 regular troops
under his command, thus leaving only 5000
troops to be provided to bring his force up
to his own estimate of the necessary
strength.
1t is estimated at the department that
about 2,000 of the volunteers now In the

That happens to be the case just before the

Administration Could Dictate

At any stage Of the convention proceed
ings the national administration can name
the candidate. To insist on the nominal ton
of Nash or Daugherty would be the ad-
mission that the candidate nominated was
not strong enough to win by his own
strength. Nashs friends are hopeful that
the Presidents indirect influence will be
eXerted in his behalf. Those who are not
specially interested in his candidacy take
d different view. They foresee a possibility
OF the administration ending a threatening
disruption by indicating d preference for
a new candidate.
have remarked as does every one, that
Senator llama : supporters gathered here
from various parts of the state reflect their
leaders aggressiveness. They are both
positive in their fighting claims and conf
dent that he will come out of the conven-
tor without the loss of power or prestige
They are not fiabby like the Hanna fol-
lowing in Cleveland. The Hanna iieuten-
ants are rather disgusted with this fabbi-
ness. They do not like the idea of his own
city sending an apologize contesting dele
cation. but they explain that this is due
to the peculiar local conditions, for which
the senator is not responsible They are
sure that his genius for combinations will
overcome the drawback at home
This matter of combinations Is interest
ing as viewed here in the convention sur
roundings. 1t brings out Geo B. Cox the
Cincinnati boss in the position he has
sought. All hands are agreed that no win
ming combination is possible without him.
They are disagreed whether he will make
his combination with Hanna or with the
anti-Hanna faction. He Is credited with
the purpose of raising himself to a higher
level of political respectabiiity and gaining
prestige as a harmonzer by nominating
Judge Taft for governor. Whatever he
does Will be for the benefit of Cox first,
and of the party afterward

This view with some variations was re-
peated to me by half a dozen other polit1'
clans. They all declared that the occasion
was a propitiOus one for Senator Foraker
to appear in the unaccustomed role of a
peacemaker and harmonizer. The senator,
they said, was having a fair degree of sue
cess IN securing legIs -atiVe nominations
friendly to his reelection. The state Sena-
tors, like the members of the house, have
a TWO years term, and none of those chosen
this fall will take part IN the choice of the
United States senator unless they are re-
nominated. But the custom is to give two
terms, and for that reason il is important
to Senator Foraker TO have his friends
named now, as he is succeeding in doing.
1t is possible that the national adminis-
tratiOn Will avoid getting mixed up with
the factions, yet this viii he a piece of
rare good luck. Everybody is so enthu-
siasticaily and Vociferousiy for President
Mckinney that an indication of preference
would be sure to cause row. The sup
pOrters of Nash claim that he ought to have
the support Of all good friends of the ad-
mlnistrau6h, because four years ago, when
the situation was d delicate one he prac-
ticaiiy yielded his chance of the nomination
for governor in order not to endanger Nc

tion. | notice, however. that they say

profess to be perfectly satisfied with the

They congratulate themselves that their

In view of this situation, however. and Of
the possibility of Gen. Otis requesting more
than 10000 men for use in the Philippines.
there is a strong probability that the Pres
ident may be impelled to resort to a call
for volunteers.
The President is known to be strongly
opposed to calling for volunteers. and il Is
stated at the War Department that such a
course will not be adopted unless il is alb
solutely justified by the eXigencies Of the
case.
As has been already stated. action IN this
direction will depend entirely upon the
character of the repy Of General otis. lf
he considers 10000 troops sufficient FOR the
military occupation of the Philippines the
difference viii be recruited from the regu-
lar forces now in this country.
In case, however, he thinks a larger army
essential for the prompt subjugation OF the
Filipino insurgents. it is more than prob
able that the President win Issue a call for
volunteers for service in the Philippines.
Even in that event, IL is estimated that not
more than 10000 or I5,o00 volunteers viii
be needed to meet the fun military require
ments.
Army officials are confident that there
would be no difficulty whatever IN obtain
ing that small number Of available men
from among the recently discharged volun-
teers who rendered such excellent service
in the Cuban and Porto Rican campaigns
1t is agreed that there can be no substan-
tial increase in General Otis army outside
of the troops already under orders TO that
country. much before the middle of July
or the list Of August.
The rainy season is now on in the Philip
pines, and active field operations can hard
ly be resumed with any effectiveness much
before the end of August, the LIST OF
September, so that there viii be ample
time to reinforce the army to the desired
strength by the time that Gen. Otis will be
prepared to use them.
