It Has Bfjn Determined to Form at Least Nine Regiments, and Possibly Twelve This Will Give Otis 45,000 Men. Washington, June 24. President McKinley has decided to call for volunteers volun-teers for service in the Philippines. It has been determined to form at least nine regiments and possibly twelve. For the present the president deems nine or ten regiments enough, and it is understood this number is based on the representations made by General Otis, who is 6aid to have recently amended his estimate of the force he will need in maintaining peace in the islands. There are now 23,000 regulars in the Philippines, and there will shortly be a reinforcement of at least 7,000. This furnishes General Otis with the army desired in the earlier estimates from Manila. Lately, however, he has had occasion to revise these figures andt under the influence of the more liberal estimates of General Lawton and other abvisors, he has informed the Washington Wash-ington officials that the presence of 12,000 or 15,000 volunteers to supplement supple-ment the force of regulars will be a safeguard. Actual enlistment for the new volunteer volun-teer regiments will be under the army officers, and the records will be similar to those which attended the recruiting of volunteers at the outbreak of the late war. It is probable the company strength will be maximum, and this would give for nine regiments a volunteer vol-unteer force of at least 12,000. The call for troops will be issued as soon as the necessary arrangements for recruiting system can be made. TRIED FOR TREASON. Filipino Colonel Who Advocated Autonomy Auton-omy Sent to Prison.
