rrrom Th. TrIbune Bureaus

THE ORDERS DELANED.-Army OF
ficers are taking keen interest in the long
delayed general orders which have been in
course of preparation by the General STAFF
designating the regiments of infantry and
cavalry and batteries of field artillery
destined 10 go TO the Philippines in the
coming year. The delay i'm issuing the
orders has caused much vexation on the
part Of members of those commands which
are due for service in the islands. because
there is so short a period in which prepara-
lions may be made for departure and the
adjustment of the personal affairs of COM
missioned officers. There is said TO be a
greater demand than usual for detachment
from regiments and the detail TO other
duty. especially with the special staff
corps. These requests are causing much
trouble to War Department officials, since
IT means a general shifting of officers or
sending TO The Philippines regiments which
are under-offlcered.
1t is probable that three regiments of in
fantry will be sent TO the Philippines, with
several batteries Of field artillery. regi-
ment Of infantry will be designated for
two-year tour OF duty in Alaska. relieving
the regiment now there. The general
orders which will make these designations
of regiments for duty IN the Philippines
and Alaska will also name the stations to
duty abroad has expired will be assigned
when they return to the United States.
