her evidence, but 1t took more than two hours In

War Department Not In any Rush to send
Troops To Philippines.

Washington, July 1.-The first vol
unteers to be raised for service in ths
Philippines will be those for the stel-
eton regiments now being formed by
Gen. Otis. 1t is not believed there win
be the least difficulty in obtaining
these men
1t is probable that some time will
elapse before the troop~ of the pro-
visional army are sent TO Manila, but
meanwhile they win be drilled and
taught craftsmanship in camp. 1t is
estimated that three months are re,
quired to make soldiers OF recruits
The officers of the War department
think that q uumb Der Of volunteers now
coming home will desire to return to
the Philippines for short service after
they have an opportunity to see home
and friends, They are regarded as the
most desirable for the regiments being
organized by General Otis.
1t is learned at the war department
that there is no rush TO get the yolun-
teers to General Otis at the present
time. The rainy season having set in,
it is now believed these troops will not
be needed for service except to relieve
those who have been on active duty.
The transport service is said TO be
sufficient, though ships may be char
tered temporarily II needed, The an
nouncement that portion of the pro-
visional army was to be raised has
caused swarm of politicians to be
sent to the war department by those
who are seeking commissions in the
new regiments.
