THE CITY OF MANILA.
Troops There by Four Infantry
Companies.

Manila, Aug 26.-In the city of Ma
Mia there are now less than 1000
effective soldiers, and it has been de-
cided to increase this number by four
companies of infantry. The official
reason for the increase is that the
guard duty is too heavy for the pres
ent force. As matter of fact, how
ever, there is feeling that although
there is no apparent prospect of troU-
BILE, nevertheless in the event of an
uprising in the future, such as is al
ways possible among the Malays, it
would be better to have a sufficient
body of troops available.
