Washington, D. O., (Speecial.)--The Bec-
retary of War bas just ordered the re-en-
forcement of Gen. Otis by six regiments,
These are the Sixth Infantry, now at San
Antonio; the Bixth Artillery, scattered along
the Atlantic coast stations; the Ninth Infan-
try, at Madison Barracks; Talrteenth Infan-
try, in New York State; Twenty-first Infan-
try, at Plattsburg, N. Y., and the Sixteenth
Infantry, at Fort Crook and neighboring
posts in the Middle West. These regiments
have been ordered to make ready to proceed
to San Francisco and thence to Manila.
In answer to the direct question as to
whether or not regular troops are intended
to relieve a corresponding number of val
unteer soldiers at Manila, it was sald at the
War Department that while this probably
would be the case, it was not possible yet to
make a positive statement. This means that
it when the re-enforcements arrive at Manila
the conditions are satisfactory the volun-
teers will be brought home; but if Otis shall
have need for all of the combined force,
then they must walt,
The re-enforcements are made up of
troops who are not only regulars in the full
sense of the torm, but who bave been
through the Cuban or Yrorto Rico came
paigns. They know what it is to be. under
fire; how to hunt Indians, and also bow to
fight in the tropieal jungles. With them re-
placing the same number of volunteers Gen,
Otis will have a majority of regulars in his
command, something the War Department
earliest possible monient, The position of
the American commander at Manila also
will be safeguarded against the effect of a
sudden and forced discharge of volunteers
by the ratification of the peace treaty,
The War Department officials pronounce
absurd the characteristic Filipino junta
story to the effect that Aguinaldo has taken
several hundred American soldlers prisoners
and removed them to the interior,

PRESIDENT ACCEPTS.
Ultlzens, Commerce and Trade Placed
Under the Protection of Admiral Dewey
and General Otis~A Warning to Other
Forelgn Nations—-This Government to
Have Full Sway in the Archipelago.
Washington, D, C,, (Special, )—The Ger-
man Government has set at rest effectually
the rumors of a purpose on its part directly
or indirectly to embarrass the United States
in the Philippine Islands, and has given a
signal manifestation of its desire to promote
the most cordial relations between Germany
and the Unified States by ordering the with-
drawal of all vessels of {tz Navy from Philip-
pine waters, and placing the lives and prop-
erty of ita subjects there under the protec-
tion of the United Biates Government.
The action taken is regarded hero as a
stroke in diplomacy, by which will be re-
moved all possibility of a clash between Ger
man and American interests io and about
Manlis, and noties to nil the world, and
especially to any Americans who snterta’ned
any suspicions of sinister desigos by Gers
many, of the wish and purpose of the Ger-
man Empire to cultivate the friendship ol
the United States,
After a Day of Humors.
By it Germany at ones places the protec.
tion of ail her large interests in the islands

The anpouncement of this act by the Ger
man Goveroment came at the close of a day
that bad been full of sensational rumors of
a clash between the Americans and Germans
in Manila, the ramors finslly going so 14r as
tust Admiral Dewey had fired

These rumors spread despite the fact that
the eable connecting Manila with the outer
world is In the control of the United States
Government, so that it might be reasonably
expected that It would be the Government
to receive the firet news of any disaster or
collision at Manila. At the White House,

The Queen Regent has begun consults.

Peace Treaty Threatened,
Washington, D, C., (Bpecial.)—The situa”
tion in the Spanish Cortes, leading up tothe

said by officials here to be the direct result
of bad macagement on the part of the
sponsors for the treaty, It is sald that
there was no requirement Included in the
treaty itusif for its submission to the Cortes
for ratification, On the contrary, the text
of the treaty says that it should be ratified
by the Queen Hegent,
It is further sald that this point was dis-
cussed by the peace commissioners uc Parls,
the Spanish commissioners desiring to re-
quire the ratification of the Cortes, but
finally taking the other course, perhaps with
a view to avoiding the troutie which bas
overcome Sagasta,
The resignation of the Hagasia ecablost,
State Department officials say, does not
