OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D, c., July 3rd. l8e

regiments of volunteers, to be en-
listed for service i'll the Philippines.
would be chosen from the troops
which had seen service, with a few
from the regular army, he meant eX-
actly what he said, but it has not pre-
vented great pressure, political and
otherwise, being brought to bear upon
him to give commissions to men who
have had no military experience
whatever. This pressure, great as it
is, will hardly succeed in landing a
single commission. In fact, its very
existence is almost an insult to the
President, as it implies doubt of his
word. The Presidents position is the
proper one. The more efficient these
volunteer regiments are made. the
greater their value will be to the
country and nothing can add more to
their efficiency than to give them eN-
perienced officers. They are intended
for the hardest kind of service, as the
understanding is that as soon as the
rainy season is over in the Philippines,
Gen. Otis will start the Smost aggres-
sive campaign he has yet waged
against the Filipinos, and these vol
unteers will participate in that cam
paign.
Senator Carter, of Montana, was in
Washington a day or two ago, and
