OTIS WILL WAIT.
Until His Volunteers Are Replaced by
Regulars.

heSuIarS.
Washington, Jan. 3.-General Otis at
Manila, has been notified by cable of
the arrangements that have been COM
pleted to speedily reinforce his COM
mand by the dispatch of six regiments
Of regular infantry. The Twentieth,
now at Fort Leavenworth. will sail
from San Francisco on the transport
Scandal, Jan. Z, and is timed to reach
Manila by the end of the month. Major
General Lawton has been placed in
command of the Fourth regiment, now
at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, the Twelfth,
at Jefferson Barracks, and the Seven
tenth at Columbus Barracks, Ohio,
and is directed to sail with them Jan.
p from New York city on the trans
ports Mohawk and Massachusetts, pro-
ceeding by way of the Suez canal. This
force, under General Lawton, is ex-
pected to reach the Philippines the Sec
ond week in February.
The other two regiments selected for
garrison duty in the Philippines, the
Third infantry at Fort Smelling, Mimi,
and the Twenty-second at Fort Crook,
Neb., will depart from San Francisco
as soon as the transports are available
The army steamer Senator, which left
Manila Dec. Is, with the Astor battery
and other troops bound for San Fran
cisco, is due there early next week and
will be ready to return with either the
Third or the Twenty-second regiment
While everything is being done by the
war department authorities to expedite
the departure of these troops, in COM
pliance with repeated intimations from
General Otis that he is anxious to ex-
change his volunteers for regulars, it
has been found impossible to start them
much earlier than the middle of jan
uary, which was the time set when it
was first decided two weeks ago to send
a portion of the needed force by way
of New York, on account of the lack Of
transport facilities in the Pacific.
Until these troops reach the Philip
pines it is not believed by the author
tiles that General Otis will undertake
any aggressive operations for the ex-
tension of American sovereignty over
the various provinces now held by the
insurgents, although he has full discre-
ton in the matter, but that he will re-
serve his forces for use in emergencies
should the insurgents grow unruly, par
ticularly in the vicinity of Manila.
Confidence was expressed at the war
department that there would be no bat
tie at Iloilo until after every resource
of peaceful negotiations to induce the
rebels to evacuate the city had been
exhausted,
