Under special Act OF Congress.

1t has been definitely decided TO be-

service under the act Of the last con-
gress. AS the regular army is up TO
its full authorized strength, the ad-
ditional soldiers needed must be OBJ
tanned under that section Of congress
authorizing the enlistment q yolun-
teers.
Recruiting officers have been in
structed to prepare to enlist yoiun-
teers. The present indications are thal
about 10000 men will be wanted.
Gen. Corbin said tho enlistments
would be for three years, although the
law for the creation Of the provisional
army Of $4,000 iii excess Of the regular
army of $1,000 provides only for such
a force until 1901. Arrangements are
to be made at once for increasing the
transportation necessary TO get thest
additional troops to the Philippines.
