Nine or Ten Regiments Needed for
the Philippines.

Chicago. June PA special dispatch
from Washington to the Tribune says:
President Mckinley has decided to cali
for volunteers for service in the Philip
pines. IL has been determined to form
at least nine regiments. and. possibly,
twelve.
For the present the President deems nine
or ten regiments enough, and il is under
stood this number is based on the repre-
sentation made by Gen. Otis who is said
to have recently amended his estimate
of the force he will need in maintaining
peace in the islands. There are now 5000
regulars in the Philippines, ana this viii
shortly be a reinforcement of at
least 1000. This furnishes Gen. Otis with
the army he desired m the earlier est-
mates from Manila. Lately however he
has had occasion to revise these figures,
and under the influences Of the more lib
eral estimates Of Gen. Lawton and other
advisers he has informed the Washing
ton officials that the presence Of l20O0 or
l5,OO volunteers 10 supplement the force
of regulars will be a safeguard,
Actual enlistment for the new volunteer
regiments viii be under the army officers
and the records will be similar TO those
which attended the recruiting of volun-
teers at the outbreak of the late war. II
Is probable the company strength will be
maximum, and this would give for nine
regiments a volunteer force of at least
1900. The call for troops will be issued
as soon as the necessary arrangements
for recruiting system can be made
