New Orleans. Senior Nevarro was consul at
Baltimore many years ago Senor Petfnto
was at New Orleans up to the outbreak of
the war, when he went to Panama, and has
since remained there. The minister says
that doubtless an appointment will be made
for Manila and other places before long,
but the selections have not yst been made
The talks between the French ambassador
and the Spanish minister have shown that
there was nothing further to be done by

Speaking generally, the duke said he was
glad to come hack to America, for, not
withstanding all that had occurred. he was
still an admirer of this country, its people
and its institutions. He recalled with salts
faction how he had spent a good part of his
early life in Washington, and had then
studied American affairs, and established
wide acquaintance later taking an Ameri-
can girl, the present duchess, as his wife.
Arrival in the City.

Washington at 6:1O O'CLOCK last evening.

taries Riano and Pastor. The duke and his
wife were met by a number of aequaint-
ances, including NJ. Jules Boeufve of the
French embassy, Mrs. MackaySmith, Mrs.
Caldero1 Carlisle and Mr.. Lucking. AS the
party moved out into the station the people
there pressed about them and eagerly in
spected the newcomers. A man in the dress
of a laborer who stepped forward to shake
hands with the duke received a heartfelt
acknowledgment for this simple mark of
friendship. The duke and duchess, accom-
panied by Mrs. Mackay-Smith. drove to the

NO CALL FOR TROOPS
Gen. Otis Indicates That He Only
Needs $4,000 Men.
REGULAR ARMY TO Be RECRUITED
Disposition Of Troops Around Ma
Mia for the Rainy Season.
LAWTON DEFENDS CITY

MANILA. June /, 5.O5 p.m.-Gen. Lawton
has been given command of the defenses of
the city and troops forming the line around
Manila which will be his division.
Gen. Macarthur commands the outlying
garrisons and the troops holding the rail-
road and river.
Gen. Otis reply to the Presidents inquiry
of yesterday as to the number of troops he
will need in his campaign is, practically,
that he lis still of the opinion that 30Ooo
troops will be necessary for the effective
control of the Philippines"
1t Is said at the War Department that, in
this view of the case. there IS very little
likelihood of there being any necessity for
a call for volunt teers.
This is taken to mean that the additional
troops Will be secured by recurring the
regular army up to its full authorized
strength and then dispatching to the Pnii-
lppines sufficient men from the regular es-
tabishment in this country to put all OF
the regiments IN the Philippines on their
maximum footing.
The general belief of those who have talk
ed with the President is that no call VIII
at any time be issued for the $4,000 addi-
tional soldiers authorized by Congress. II
Gen. Otis wants more men the call will
name the number required to make up the
total desired 1t is generally expected that
Gen. Otis Will ask for an increase 1t is hot
will be asked for by the President in
call.
The President related to some of his call
ers today that great pressure is being eX-
erted TO have the whole number called for.
He did not say, however, what his inten-
lions are.
Secretary A,ger took General Otis cable
to the President and after conference with
him stated that the text of the dispatch
would not be made public, as 1t contained
other matters besides an answer to his IN
Quiry of yesterday.
1T reaffirms General Otis estimate made
some time ago" said the Secretary, that
80 600 men would be sufficient TO cope with
the situation. AS I stated yesterday, the
regulars now on the way or under orders
to go to the Philippines VIII give General
Otis about 24,OIO or 25,O0O men after the
withdrawal of the volunteers
Where will the additional 5000 or 5000
men for whom Gen. Otis asks come from?
the Secretary was asked.
That has rot been definitely determined
as yet" he replied. We may be able to
take the additional troops asked for from
the regulars now located in this country,
Cuba and Porto Rico, or 1t may be found
advisable to muster in volunteers"
'In case II is decided to call for volun-
teers will the call only lie for the 5000 or
$500 men necessary to bring Gen. Otis total
up to 3O.UOU?'
IF volunteers are called for" replied the
Secretary, the call will probably be for
10000 men,
