ANOTHER CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS Enlistments .Will Reach tbe Limit of Fifteen Thous and Me-n. EIGHT NEW MILITARY POSTS There W ill Be no Restrictions as to Citizenship or ESocstlof 1 Qualifications. NEW YORK, July 1-A apeclal to the Herald from Washington says: Having heard from Orneral Otis that he needs .33S men to All up the regular ngtments nd about i.J0 men tor the two voluntoer regiments, he was author ized to enlist, and orders will be Issued tomorrow for the enlistment of 15,000 men. This will actually give Otis about 44.lX) men. Allowing a loss of 12 per cent (or diseases, wounds, etc., which, he mated as it he prewnt percentage of "Ineffective," he will have. Instead of an effective, force of J0,W0 men, one of nearly S.000. - - The war department has anilclpated the need of men for the regular raiments and has 22aX unaslgned recruits to Manila within two weeks. Four thou, sam! recruits' are now being drilled at the Presidio and will soil th middle of the month, leaving only S3fi men to be sup plied !to Hie regular regiments. It Is confidently predicted that 'by August 1 the eight regiments to bo organised in this country and tho 2iW men required for the two volunteer regiments at Mani la will br ready to proceed to Otis' aid. In order to put the volunteers In an ef fective condition as rapidly as possible, eight military post', one for each regl mem, will be selected, to which recruits will be sent, as follows: PlatlKburg barracks, N. T.: Ft. Thomas Ky.; Columbus barracks, O.; Fort Sheri dan. III.; Leavncworth, Kas., and the Presidio. Cal., and probably Fort Crook, N.. and Vancouver barracks. The va canch's existing In the regular regiments under General Otis' command represent; men whose terms of enlistment have ex pired, and not casuals. Most of the vacancies exlat In tho regiments which sailed for Manila wtth Merrltt. Of the volunteers, 11.539 still remain In Manila and they will be returned as quickly as possible. The fact that Otis has reduced to two regimenlts the number to be organised at Manila, and has asked for 2000 to fill them up, shows that he has (he'd much dim. culty to obtain reenllstment of volun. teers. It Is estimated that he has ob tained only S00 men, not enoug-h to form one regiment. ' Under rtie Instructions to recruiting of ficers, enlistments for three year recruits Intended for regular regiments and en. llntmmts of volunteers for two years will be made, Inj the case of tho volunteers there will tie no restrictions as to eltt. xenshlp or educatitaal qualifications. Re orultlng offloera have previously beem eottvpellert to reject men who. were not oltltens of tho United States or uneducat ed and have gone so far as to throw out men wlto were flatfooted. While it Is Intended -to obtain as . high a class of men for the volunteer service as possible, It Is pointed out that the law will allow the enlistment of recruits showing, suf flcient intelligence- to . perform duty as American soldiers.

Mr. Gos slln could not at once give a definite answer to the request of (he water com mission, but there Is every reason to expect it will be granted for the rartroad company Is willing and anxious to assist ln an publia enterprise that may accrue to th advantage of Astoria. The water commission has come to no understanding as yet with Captain Hoi. brook, on bahatf of the government, to supply Port Stevens with water.

An Outline of Its Cost and Comparison Wtth That ot Unlontowo. Some of the people of Aldorbrook are agitating tbe question of securing city water for that part of Astoria. Bo far Che proposition baa not got beyond tbe talking stage, for no format application or estimate of the number of water users commission, together with a guarantee or estimate of tbe number If water users ther would be to the service If extended to that place. Tbe residents it Alder, brook claim that, as taxpayers If Astoria, they are entitled to the earn, water ser vice and Ore protection that tbe other ( sections of the city have, and contend that an injustice Is being done them in depriving them ot these necessities. They make a special plea for their school, which Is without Are protection and with out drinking water, except as it Is car. ried from a neighboring brook, which they claim becomes warm, Insipid and filthy during summer months. This apparent negligence of tbe water commission Is given different meaning when their sKle of the proposition Is considered. The commissioners' expert, ence In supplying suburbs with water has been' so very unprofitable that st makes of Unlomown, laid an eight-Inch main to the toot ot Bond street. During that and the succeeding year sohe half a dosen service pipes were connected with this main. The people of Cnlontown com. j plaining that to most of them thi Bond ' street main was too far away for them to tap, the commission In the spring of 1S laid two mains up through the rest i dence part of the town, on the promise ! that water sufficient to make the service ' soirusialnlng would be taken. In com pliance wltti this promise the water ser- was ln h0"8"" Bu thlft revenue was of short duration for at the end of the first quarter most of the users discontinued the service and now there are but 10 families raking water. ! hlph d9 not the " lln to residence section of Union town a paying j Investment to the taxpayers of Astoria. To supply city water to Alderbrook would require the laying of nearly a mile of pipe to extend the water main from Che present terminus at Hanthorn's ptece, whlch. with the laternal piping required, would entail a cost of nearly $4,000. As there are only about 40 faro, tiles residing In Alderbrook tt would be a question, even though they would all become patrons, whether the commission mvml.l ,Ka 4ii.tlflu1 In lTuurr!tr this ad- ( dltlonal expense. It Is not likely that a larger percentage of the Aldorbrook tarn, Hies would rakd the city water 'ban does ! those of Unlontown, for eaoh house is now supplied with either well or spring water and dhe houses being quit, a dis tance apart, there is no serious danger at the present of the water becoming la pure from seeppage. In extending the city water service the commission has to take Into consideration the present tn. debtedness of the board of water comtnls- ' sloners and the' present revenue to be I had and the certainty of Its Income by the Increase of population of the district asking for water, before a decision can be given as to whether the water syf. .'tem can be extended to Alderbrook or J any other outlying section. mwmm Prmm ., emr wwc C J
