The department dim op the situation a outlined by General Otia in tlie fol lowing statement : To meet the requirement of the re turning volunteers, the qnartermaxter's department reports there are now in Ma nila the transports Sherman, Warren and Grant, w ith a capacity for ll9 of ficers and 4!'.'4 enlisted men. There are now on the sea en route to Manila, the Zeal an ilia (due July 20,) Sheridan (due July 21), Valencia (due July 26), and Pennsylvania (due July 2.)), with capacity (or 101 officers and 4200 enlixted men. There are now in San Francisco the transports City of l'ara, which will sail July 22, and the Tartar, to sail July "0, with a capacity for 65 oilicers and ?:00 enlisted men. There are now en route to San Francisco, the following transort8, with capacity for 209 officer and 4t'J4 enlisted men : Ohio, Newport, Hancock, Senator, Morgan City, Indiana and ltelief, (hospital). The department confidently believes the transportation has been so well arranged by the quar termaster's department that the last of the volunteers will leave Manila not' Inter than September 9. and it is ex pected they will all be away by the 1st. The recruits required for the regular regiments In the Philippines are esti mated at 0338 men. Tlie number of re cruits now at sea are 1057; the number of recruits now at San Francisco are :i:'S4j a total of 4791, leaving 1547 yet to be provided for. The large number of vacancies exist ing in the Fourteenth, Eighteenth and Twenty-third Infantry is due to the fact that these regiments went with General Merritt's original expedition to the Philippines, and were not filled to the maximum; also that the men In these regiments who enlisted for the war are just now being discharged; the men enlisting for the war in the other regiments were discharged before the regiments left this country, and the va cancies are due to the Increase of the companies from 100 to 1'28 men. At the rate of enlistments for tlie last few weeks, the entire number will be en listed by the closo of the present week, Volunteer Army. The war department has nearly per fected the details of a project for the en listment of volunteers under the terms ot the act of the last congress. There elective which he requires. The force that will he at Otia' disposal when the new troop now In this coun try reach him at the beginning- of the fall campaign may be summarized as fol lows: Keventeen regiment of regular Infan try ,25.840 men ; three new volunteers Iments, 4131; four batteries Third artil lery, 4K'J; (en batteries of Hixth 1230; an engineer battalion, 200; signal corp,150; total, 33,271 men. The fact that General Otis ha reduced to two regiments the number to be or ganized at Manila, arid has asked for 2000 men to fill them' up, shows that he has had much difficulty to obtain re en listment ot volunteers. It is estimated that he has obtained only 800 men not enough to form one regiment. Under the instructions to recriitinj of ficers, enlistments of three-year recruit, intended for regular regiments, and en listments of volunteers for two years will be made. In the case of the volunteers, there will be no restrictions as t citizen ship or educational qualifications. Re cruiting officers have previously been compelled to reject men who were not citizens of the United States or are un educated, and have gone so far as to throw out men who were flatfooted. While it is intended to obtain as h'gh aclassofmeo for the volunteer service as possible, it is pointed oat that the law will allow the enlistment of recruits showing sufficient Intelligence to per form duty as American soldiers. Comnil.aloni (a X Regiment. The proposed organhutiou of nine vol unteer regiments will place a number ol Important military commi-sion at the disposal of the president. Although there will be three new brigades, Adjutant-General Oorbin says it is not likely that more than one additional brigadier general will be needed, the other two be ing provided for by officers of Aat grade j now in the army, whose terms of enlist ment are about to expire. General Grant, who is now in the Philippines, is in this category, and he propably will be one of the two new brigadier-generals. Another officer now in the Philippines is also available for reappointment to the provisional army Probably the most important point in connection with the proposed volunteer organization is the president's declared intention to appoint none but officers of the regular army to the sommand of the nine new regiments. Nearly 50 regular army olliceis had reiri mental commands during the recent war iu the volunteer establishment, and nine colonels to be assigned to the new regiments will be selected from among that number. The election will be based entirely upon the records of the officers during the late war, and the nine officers whose practi cal work in the field was most efficient will receive the appointments. It is not unlikely, however, that some of the efficient volunteer officers may be selected for subordinate commands in the different regiments, inasmuch as the decision to appoint only regular army of ficers does not apply to positions below the grade of colonel.
