Ten More REGIMENTS.

The decision OF the War Department to
raise ten more volunteer regiments instead
of five Is prompt, and will meet general APP
proval. There can now be no criticism OF
the Governments policy based on the
allegation that II has failed to take proper
advantage OF the force which Congress
placed at it's disposal.
Twenty volunteer regiments will yield
20, 100 enlisted men and the three regi-
ments in the Philippines will bring the vol
unteer force there to little over 10000
men. There are now over 80. 900 regulars.
including officers and men, for the Philip
pines, reckoning those on the way or
ordered thithcr. With the volunteer officers
added, we get an aggregate OF between
81, 900 and 80, 900 combatants for Gen.
OT1s's command, besides the medical OFF,
GERS and hospital corps. We must not for
get also the marines and bluejackets Of the
fleet, who have already shown their ability
to aid the land forces.
There will still remain not called out be-
tween 4 900 and 5000 Of the 80, 900 vol
unteors authorized by Congress, and these
can be utilized hereafter II necessary, but
it now seems probable that the ten new
regiments will be enough for furnishing all
the field force with which to crush AGUI-
NALDo and all the garrison force for occu-
plying points as fast as they are taken.
