teries of the regiment will be equipped
as infantry according to present plans,
although one of them may be used as

barracks. These garrisons, like most
of the other posts of the army in the
United States, will be left in charge Of
detachments.
1t is not expected that the bulk of
the large body of'reinforcements can
reach Manila until the end of the rainy
season, which has just begun. but they
will follow closely the departure from
the Philippines of the volunteers.
With the regular troops already order
ed and on the way to Manila, Gen. Otis
will have an effective force of 21,72S
men in addition to the recruits being
sent every few days for the regiments
already in the Philippines. This force
is to be raised to $4,000 men by the
time aggressive operations can be
pressed in the early autumn. The vol
unteers to be returned to this country
from Manila number barely $4,000, so
the determination to send $4,000 regu-
lars to take their places is calculated
to show the rebel leaders that the
United States is terribly in earnest
about meeting its Responsibilities for
preserving order and commanding re-
spect throughout the archipelago.
1t is announced that the army in the
Philippines will be increased to $4,000
men, whether the rebels abandon the
field or not. If Aguinaldo gives up
his hopeless fight as a result of the
negotiation now in progress between
his followers and the Presidents COM
missioners. $4,000 men are deemed the
right number to garrison the forts in
the outlying islands and establish law
full government in them. If the insur-
rection continues in Luzon, at least
10000 American troops, it is estimated
by the authorities, will be required
there for the campaign that will be I'M
dertaken, the remaining 5000 going to
garrison the chief places which have
been opened to foreign trade. The
four batteries of the Sixth artillery
which were delayed on their way from
the East have arrived and gone on

baggage, however. is still somewhere
along the railroad line, and the sailing
