The general expectation has been ! that to meet fids emergency the ITcsi- j dent and the Secretary of War would ask Congress to Increase the regular army. The sharp campaign now about to begin will show whether that is necessary. If Ceneral Muc.Vrtlmr can suppress the rebellion before the volunteers come home, and restore order in the iirchlpelngo, there will u<<t be the need for a large increase. If an army of nearly TO.POi) men prosecuting the most vigorous campaign canpot overcome the Filipinos, the Administration will have a strong ease when it asks Congress for ati increase of the army.
