WANTS MORE TROOPS.
Macarthur Urges His Needs on
Washington.

New York, June "A special to the
Times from Washington says:
When Generals Otis and Schwan ar
rive here there will be a conference be-
tween them and Secretary Root in ref
erence to tn question of sending more
troops to the Philippines. General Mac
Arthur, General Otis successor, has
been urging for some time that he
should have more cavalry. The war de-
partment is now convinced that his re-
quest should be complied with, but
nothing will be done until Secretary
Root has obtained the views of Generals
Otis and Schwan.
Three cavalry regiments will be sent
The war department has no idea yet
what regiments will be selected. This
is one of the points on which the ad-
vice of Generals Otis and Schwan will
be sought. 1t is quite certain that they
will not be sent until after the middle
of June. The department would like, if
possible, to send one of the regiments
able that the soldiers in the Philippines
customed to service in the tropics, who
will have nothing to learn, to the end
that the campaign may be as sharp and
short as possible. But no regiments
can be taken from Cuba until after the
elections at earliest, and the elections
will not take place until June 10.
When the regulars are sent it will
be possible to begin the sending home
of vOlunt GERS, and the probability is
that three regim SITS will be sent home
at once, the cavalry taking their places.

ton will probably ask that the Cubans
may be represented on the various COM
missions that are examining the books

engineering departments, aswell as rep
resentation in all the work of supervis-
ing Cuban monetary transactions.
The Discussion says:
Cuba has been inundated with func-
tionarias under the pretext of teaching
Cubans how to govern themselves. The
Intervention has lasted a year and a
half, a period ample enough to have
established a. permanent system and
to have started the Cubans in the way
of managing it. II the interval of inter
VentiOn has not been sufficient the
difficulty lies in the fact that the teach
