vigorous. Campaign to he Made.

Washington. Nov. II.-On the recon-
mendation of General Chaffee, command
ing the division of the Philippines, the
secretary of war has issued an order for
the reorganization of that division. Up
to this time the division has comprised
four military divisions, as follows; De-
partment of Northern Luzon, commanded
by Major General Lloyd Wheaton; de-
partment of southern Luzon, commanded
by Brigadier General j. 5. Wade; depart
ment of the Visayas, commanded by Brig
adler General r. p. Hughes; department
of Mindanao and Jolo commanded by
Brigadier General G. w. Davis.
In accordance with the present action
of the war department the division will
be divided into only two military depart
ments, to include within their limits the
entire Philippine archipelago. They will
be known as the departments OF north
and south Philippines. The northern de-
partment will be commanded by Mayor
General Wheaton, and will include the
islands of Lllzon, Mindora and Masbate
and all the intervening territory. The
Southern department, which will be com
manded by Brigadier General Wade, will
embrace the remainder of the archipelago
and include the large islands of Samar,
Panay, NIindanao, the Visayas and Jolo.

is in accordance with General Chaffees
plan to institute vigorous aggressive
campaign against the insuuecuonists

troublesome in the islands of Samar and
Leyte and in the southern portion of
LuZon.
1t is said that the reduction of the num-
Der of the departments, in addition to
