Political or Social Influence Will Cut No

The Responsibility of Choosing

Nr.w Yokk, Auk. lf. A Hpeclal to the
Herald from Washington : Orders are
expected within u few days directing the
nriMiiiss.ttiou of five now volunteer regl
nicnta for tliu Philippines. While n
final decision on tliu matter of enliatinp
etill niorit troops Iiiih not yet been inside,
the fact tlmt .Secretary Hoot is already
considering tho question of oflleers for
the regiments indiuites the strong prob
ability that they will bo organized.
The secretary is extremely anxious to get
good ollicers and ua he cannot examine
each individual record, ho has decided
to place the responsibility on tho gov
ernors of tliu status.
Political influence and personal or no
cial pull will cut no figure in the distri
bution of tho commissions in these now
regiments. .Secretary Koit made that
point unmistakably clear to Senator
Clay, of Georgia, when the latter called
at tho war department to urge tho ap
pointment of several young Ctoorgintis,
who are ambitious to enter the nnny as
commissioned officers.
"Wo have heretofore) hod so much
troubluover civilian appointments," aai.l
Secretary ltuot, "that wo purpose to
make the new appointments without the
aid of political or personal influence."
Secielary Hoot is determined that the
fall campaign shall end tho insurrection,
and that General Otis may have no ex
cuse for failure to bring it to a cloeoj ho
purposes giving him os large an army as
conditions may show it necesiary. The
proposed now regiment may bo sent im
mediately after the ten volunteer regi
ment already enlisted, should the
necessity for them bo demonstrated.
Should it be apparent when thee com
mands Iihvo been recruited th'nt Otis
force is etill insufficient to control the
situation, recruiting will contluue, until
H thu volunteers authorized bv congrecs
Imvu been enlisted.

Pretoria, Aug. 15. The executive
council concluded its session at 12:30 p.
m., when orders were issued to the field
cornets to give out Mauser rifles in ex
change for Martini-Henry r'fles. A great
crowd gathered to receive arms. The
possibility of war with Great Britain !"
about the only subject diecusEed and it
is generally felt the burgers should be
considered before extreme measures are
ai'opted.
Much Anxiety Felt.
Cai-e Town, Aug. 15. No reply has
been received here up to the preeent from
the Transvaal government on the latest
Britisb proposals on settlement of the

result will be a breaking of negotiations.
