MARINE INCREASE
BY 10,5DO SOUGHT
Congress Due to Be Asked
to Provide Additional
Men.

Congress will likely be asked in the
near future to increase the strength
of the Marine Corps up to 10000 ad-
ditional enlisted men. Maj. Gen.
Thomas Holcomb, the new comman-
dant, is studying this problem with
naval authorities, and while no off,
cial announcement has yet been made,
the forthcoming estimates Of the Navy
for the fiscal year 1888 are expected
to provide for a substantial increase.
At the present time, officials assert,
the Marine Corps Fleet Marine Force,
which is about to undertake war
maneuvers of the California coast, Is
under strength by some 4,700 men.
The aviation units are under strength
by about $50 men and Congress will
be asked to fortify this outfit, too, by
the necessary increase.
The present strength of the Marine
Corps is around 16.500 enlisted men
and about 1,074 officers This, the
authorities say, is around 10,500 less
than the number Of enlisted men
considered adequate to meet require
ment5 for treaty Navy in furnishing
proper guards for navy yards and sta
tions, maintaining Marine detach-
ments afloat and at the same time
maintaining the Fleet Marine Force
at so per cent of its complement,
which is the minimum requirement
of such force in immediate readiness
for emergencies" A shortage of Off
GERS likewise exists to perform present
duties.
Figure Still Indefinite.
Just what portion Of the required
1o,500 additional will be asked OF
Congress has not yet been revealed
The figure will be made public when
the naval supply bill Is reported to
the House.
Gen Holcomb, the new comman-
dant, has special interest in troubled
China. He Is not only a linguist,
but has made particular study Of
the situation in China and has served
in the Orient. This is considered
particularly fortunate. inasmuch as
the 4th Regiment of United States
Marines still is stationed at Shang-
hal. despite war and rumors of war
There are about 1850 officers and en-
listed men in that outfit In addition
there is a Marine detachment at the
