was no present necessity for the enlist
ment of volunteers.

fully before this conclusion was
reached. The president stands ready at
any time it may appear necessary to
authorize the enlistment of the volun-
teers should more men be deemed
necessary, although hoping that such a
contingency may not arise. Gen. Otis
is to be given the 10000 men for whom
he has asked. The additional 5000 or
5000 troops TO make up the 10000 are
to be taken from the regulars now serv-
ing in Porto Rico, Cuba and this coun-

duced Under the Spanish regime the
Filipino learned something of war, and we
are receiving evidence of this every day.

ippines are a splendid lot of men. capable
and accomplished fighters. They behaved
like veterans when under fire and there is
