He Thinks Matters Look Serious in
the Philippines.

New York. June 26.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Maj
Gen. Miles Is Il strenuous advocate Of
the dispatch of large reinforcements TO
Gen. OTIS in the Philippines.
Gen. Miles declined to discuss the mill
tary situation in the Philippines, other
than to say that it was Serious nor
would he give any idea of the number Cf
troops he thought should now be sent 10
the Philippines TO place the archipelago
under American control.
Gen. Miles, as far back as April, rec
commended that ten of the volunteer rc@l-
mcnts which the President IS authorized
10 raise under the army reorganization
law, he rcorganlZed and sent to Mania.
Az that time officers ut army headquar-
tcrS believed this force would be sutl-
cicnt IL crush the rebellion. In view of
the strength developed by the insurgents
they are not now 80 Saugulnc that ten
regiments are enough. There Will. he
15.I 700 men in the ten regiments. the aG-
visibility Of raising which the war de
parlment is now considering, but well-ln-
formed officers say the force of 5u,uoU
men, which Gen. Otis will have when
the reinforcements are placed at his dis
poSal, will not be sufficient
Besides the island of LuZon there are
many other islands in the archipelago in
which this government viii have t. re
store peace and order, and in the more
prepared to resist occupation by Ameri-
can troops.
Gen. Marcus L. Miller, who recently
arrived from the Philippines, where he
governed Iloilo, has been living here since
his return. Gen. Miller's view as TO the
number Of men required for the Suhjuga-
tion of the islands is very different from
that Of Gen. Otis. He believes $1,000
men nj least are required; 10000 for the
control of Luzon and the remainder for
the restoration Of peace and order in the
other islands.
Gen. MIller'S view comedies with Gen.
I.awton'S and that of other officers sub
ordinate to gen. Otis. In fact. in other
than administration circles there Is a dis
position To believe Gen. OTIS estimate of
the number of men required was made
when he knew of the desire of the PreSi-
dent not TO raise volunteers If possible

There IS no truth in the story that Gen.
Miles has applied 10 be sent TO Manila.
