NEW YORK, April A special to the News from Washington gays: At the war department it is said that efforte are being made to have the reorganized standing army fully officered and equipped and enlisted to the strength of 75,000 men by August 1. More apprehension is felt over getting the full quota of competent line officeru by the date mentioned than over the recruiting of the fifteen new regiments. Except for this, it in probable that Secretary Root and Adjutant General Corbin would have accompanied the president on his western trip.

Dr If 1s true that nearly all of the 800-or more line officers of the grades of first created by new law. have been designated by the president, but every one of these appointees must undergo a rigid mental and prysical examination before the commission in the regular army are issued to them. On the low averages it is estimated that fully one-third, and perhaps half, of those designed by the president for appointment, will fail either on mental examination. In order to meet this exigency, lists of alternates by states are being prepared by the secretary of war and the adju-: tant general. to whom the president has turned this task over.

The alterlist of applicatione now on file the nates are being selected from then long war department. with reference of course to the wishes of senators and other influential men in the several states. In order to expedite the work of disposing of the hundreds of applicants already selected by the president and Secretary Root, General Corbin will appoint a dozen or more boards of examiners to wit in various parts of the country where the convenience of the appointees will be best served. Whenever an appointee fails to pass the examination the name of the first alter. nate from his state will be certifi to the board for examination and this process will be continued until the full quota of gab-alternates created by the new law is complete.

It la not though: that the examinations will be In fail swing for six weeks or two months yet, and on this expectation is based the reckoning that not before August will all the new officers be selected. This will not Interfere with the organization of the new regiments or with the sending of fresh troops to the Philippines to take the place of the returnIng volunteers. This work will keep pace with recruiting an by detailing line officers from the old to the new regiments for temporary duty the proper quota of officers in the field can be kept up. Announcement also 19 made at the war department of the final decision reached a few days ago to retain in the service the two battalions of native Porto Ricans that are officered by Americana, Authority to do this is granted by the army law, although it was not thought until recently that advantage would be taken of this proviaton. It is understood that with few exceptions, the officere now commanding the Porto Rican battalions will be recommissioned.

The formation of pative Phillprine regiments provided for by the new law and to be officered by Americans with commissions running four vears la also being considered by the war department, but it likely that this matter will be held in abeyance for a year or more, or until the Filipinos become completely reconciled to American authority, This decision will cause disappointment to scores of officers of the volunteer regiments who remained behind in the Philippines when their regiments were brought home in the hope that they would immediately obtain commissions in the reported provisional organizations. Still, if the force of 40,000 regulars. which it te intended to be kept in the Philippines, proves inadquate to cope with the situation there, the provislonal regiments may be organized at an earlier date than now seems probable.
