LUZoN TROOPS COMING HOME.
Ons-Thlrd OF Each Regiment will be
brought TO the United States as They
Can he Spared.

Washington, April 12.-Members
of the cabinet deny in unqualified Ian
guage that there has been call for
achievements in the Philippines.
They say that no request has been
made for more troops, but, on the
contrary, all of the information Is
that sufficient number for all pur-
poses has been sent to the islands.
There are more troops in the vicinity
OF Manila than are needed. There are
some districts where more troops can
be utilized. The attention of the mil
itary authorities is now being given
to the proper apportionment Of
troops. For this the number now
available is adequate. AS evidence Of
this, attention Is directed to an order
issued this month for the return to
the United States of three battalions
from three regiments. The plan is to
bring to the United States one-third
Of each regiment, as the troops can
be spared, and to transfer them from
time to time, so that part of each
regiment will be recruiting at home
post.
