July 7. The. appointment of Dr. F. W.

Foxworthy; late assistant surgeon of the One hundred and sUtieth Indiana Regiment, to be mn assistant surgeon in the Philippine army, with the rank of captain, was announced late thia afternoon at the War Department. It haa been known that Dr. Foxworthy was anxious to remain in the service. While in Cuba with. the Indiana troops Dr.

Foxworthy was correspondent of The Indianapolis News. After his regiment the One hundred and slxtlctb Indiana, mustered out he went to Washington and made application for a place in the medical department of the army. He was assigned to duty with the rank of first lieutenant and about two months ago his home in this city 'to report to General Shatter at Banj fi anct i OFFIC THE ARMY; Tho Cabinet Heartily Approves tho Prenldent's plan.

The deoislon to, appoint colonels and lieutenant colonels of the volunteer regiments from among the regular army officers who served In the Spanish war and the volunteer officers from those who served lnj the volunteer army with credit or distinction, was heartily approved by the members of the Cabinet. I The records of the are to he carefully looked Into In the selection of officers below the rank of lieutenant colonels.

FOR PHILIPPINE La gre Snmbers of Mea Being; En. I listed la Sew Yorkl New, York, July 7. The work of recruiting men to fill up the regiments In the Philippine to the maximum of 128 men to a company ia going on in New York, the main station in thls'ctty and thia part ot the country, being at Third 'avenue and Ninth street, and In charge of MaJ. A. F.

Whitney, who haa been detailed from the Sixth Infantry for this service. All recruits from stations round about, such aa Providence. Bridgeport, Danville, Yonkern and like places, come to this main station for the equipment except arms. It la estimated that the quota required 1 being at tha rate of from 1,000 to 1200 Were It not for the extremely rigid physical examination enforced by the War Department it would be possible to do the work much more rapidly, but' the authorities at Washington, on account of the climatic and other conditions which these troops will be called upon to face. Insist upon the regulation physical requirement blna filled to the letter.

Aa an Instance at this main station, about eighteen men are being enlisted with modifications In the physical requirements this number could be easily Increased to thirty. On a company of sixty was sent to San Francisco to be forwarded to Manila, and from now on men will be aent forward as rapidly as possible. While recruiting stations have 'been "opened at various points throughout an the Eastern 8tates. the majority of the men requlrea are being furnished by New York and Pennsylvania. Most of these will go into the Infantry, for all the other arms of the service men are being recruited as well.

No particular instructions have been received from Washington lately except to get all the infantry recruit Ixjs.ible up to July 10, and this is taken to mean thttt On that dale the recruiting for the volunteer force is likely to begin. More men I than the dUpatcbes Indicate will probably be required, for It Is known that not as many of the volunteers now at Manila can be counted on for re enllat ment as wtts previously supposed. At first General Otis thought he could make up three regiments from those willing to re enllkt from the volunteer forces about to return home, but later' information develops that he' has organised only two skeleton regiments, and the term skeleton In. some quarters Is taken to mean that only the officers and a very few ot the men have consented to remain. It is not believed that the fcuthorltles at Washington Will agree to General Otis plan of filling the ranks of thtae regiments with friendly natives, as too little Is known ot the characteristics of the natives to guarantee the succetuj of such a scheme.
