MORE SOLDIERS FOR or,s.
He h to Have Force Of 1T Least $4,000
Men.

Ne - 20 ktevo FOrc0 OF 1t Least At,OOO
Men.
Washington, July 3.-Having heard
from Major General Otis that he needs
6,33S men to fill up the regular regi-
ments, and about 1000 men for two
volunteer regiments, he was authorized
to enlist about $4,000 men. This will
avtually give Otis about 600 men.
Allowing for loss of IL per cent. for
disease, wounds, etc, which he states
rs the present percentage of "ineffect-
ives" he will have. instead of an eff
fective force Of 10000 men, one of
nearly $4,000.
The War Department has anticipated
the need of men for regular regiments
and has sent 1000 unassigned recruits
to Manila within two weeks, while
1000 recruits are now being drilled at
the Preside, and will sail by the mid
die of the month. leaving only 33S
more men to be supplied to the regular
regiments.
1t is confidently predicted that by
August 1st eight regiments to be or
ganized in this country and 1000 men
required for two volunteer regiments
Mt Manila will be ready to proceed to
Otis aid.
In order to put the volunteers in eff
BILE. eight military posts. one for each
regiment will be selected, to which re-
cruits will be sent as follows:
Plattsburg barracks, New York
Fort Thomas. Kentucky; Columbus
barracks, Ohio: Fort Sheridan, Illinois;
Leavenworth, Kansas. and the Presi-
dio, California and probably Fort
Greek. Nebraska. and Vancouver bar
racks.
The vacancies existing in the regular
regiments under General Otis com
mand represent Hen whose terms of
enlistment have expired, and not cas-
ualties. Most of the vacancies exist
in regiments which sailed for Manila
with Merritt.
OF the volunteers 1850 still remain
In Manila. and they will be returned
as quickly as possible.
The fact that Otis has reduced tC
two regiments the number to be or,
GAINED at Manila. and has asked fol
1000 men to fill them up. shows that
he has had much difficulty to obtain
re-enlistments of volunteers. 1t is es
timated that he has obtained only S0(
men. not enough to form one regiment
Under instructions to recruiting of
ficers. enlistments for the years re
cruits intended for regular regiments
and enlistments of volunteers for tive
years will be made. In case of volun
teers there will be no restrictions as t,
citizenship. or to educational qualifi
cations. Recruiting officers have pre-
viously been compelled to reject mel

SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONS

The Mercur purchase is contiguous

as among the best properties in the

The Nevada property Is said to be
extraordinarily rich, and those who

The Iron Mask of Red Cliff is we'll

When 1t Is considered that all of
these enterprises have been crowded
