Otis Cannot Oct Enough For a Single Regiment. REGULARS WILL EE SENT Under Instructions to Ttorrultltirt; Ofll- eers There Are to lie No K Itieutloiiul or Citizenship Quallfleutioun In the Knllstment of Aleti. Washinc.ton, July II.—Havinpr heard from General Otis that ho mods U,J3S men to till up tho regular regiments and about 2,000 men for the two volunteer regiments ho was authorized to enlist, orders will be issuad tomorrow for the enlistment of U.OOO men. This will actually give Otis about 44,000 men. Allowing a loss of 12 per cent for dis ease, wounds, etc., which ho states as the present percentage of •’iuelrec- tives,” he will ’.lave, instead of an effec tive force of oO.OOO men, one of ucarly eo.coo. The war department has anticipated the need of men for the regular regi ments and has sent 2,000 una-sigued re- crut's to Manila within two w.eks. i’oar thousand recruits are now being d iiled at the Presidio and will sail tho niadloof the month, leaving oniy 118b n 'to men to be supplied to the regular regiments. It is confidently predicted that by Aug. 1 the i igbt regimeut i to be organ ized in thi country and the 2,000 men required for the two volunteer regi ments at Manila will bo ready to pro ceed to Otis’ aid. In order tb put tho volunteers in an eiToetivo condition as rapidly as possible eight military posts, one for each regiment, will bo selected, to which recruits will 1>>> sent, as follows: Piattsburg barracks, New York; Fort Tlioma'.’, Ky.; Columbia barracks, Ohio; Fort Sheridan, ills; Leavenworth, liiui., and the Presidio, California, and proba bly Fore Crook, Neb., a id Vancouver barracks. Tho vacancies existing in the regular regiments under General Otis’ com- to terms of expired, and not cas ualties. Most of the vacancies exist in the regiments which sailed for Manila witii Merritt. <>t the volunteers, 11,.'>89 still icmuin in Manila and those will be returned as quickly as possible. The fact that Otis has reduced to two regiments tho number to be organized t Manila and has asked for 2,OUO men I IVople V on Know nuit You Don’t K now. J. 1>. Bell and H. F. GalTney, two local Masons, went over to Blacks burg Tuesday night and assisted in conferring the Master's Degree on three candidates. After tho ceremony t he visiting brethr, n were entertained with ice cream, cuke, etc. C. C Bradley, who has been work ing for the Gaffney Manufacturing Company, has removed to Caroleen, N. (■ . to accept a position there. Mr. Bradley is one of The Ledger’s staunch supporters. Miss Minnie Tindall, of Rpauan- burg, is visiting tho family of L. G Byars. Mrs. P. V. Gailney left yesterday | for Lenoir, N. C., where she goes to ; spend the summer. Apologcticiilljr. On account of the pressure on our columns this week it is impossible for us to note the presence of a number of our friends who were here on the fourth. Wo wish to say. however, that we were proud to have them with us again. Wo also trust that they all enjoyed themselves to the full measure of their expectation and ns- ! sure them that if they were neglected ! in any manner whatever it was not | intentionally. In this connection we ! will also state that we are compelled ] to omit a number of communications from our correspondents. These will receive the attention they deserve in our next issue.
