 FORCES REDUCED The Volunteers To Leave The Islands
 4o,oOo Regulcrs To Be Garris-
 oned In Philippines.
 Washington, May 5.-After a careful consideration of the sitna tion, the administration has decid- ed to reduce the army i'll the Phil ippines to 4o,ooo. Tine opinion prevails here that this number will be ample for the present needs of the service ill the islands, and if the conditions continue to improve in the satisfactory manner that has been shown in the past few mouths, the force may be reduced still fur ther.
 The expectation of the war. de- partment is that all of the vulun- teers uow ill the Philippines will have left the islands by the end of June, leaving only tbe regulars on duty there. Following the depart ure of the volunteers will come the regulars who were sent to Manila ill 1898, just after the outbreak of hostilities, and their movement home will continue until the force is reduced to approximately 4o,o men.
