PHILIPPINES,

(Fran American Papers) Transports to be Armed:

MAN WASHINGTON, July 11th.. The Navy Department has consented to turn. over to the Ordnance Bureau of the Army sixteen six-pounder rifles, far use on the Army transports engaged in carrying troops to and from the Philippines. There has been a great deal of comment in inflitary circles over the fact that troopships were entirely without arma- ament, and recently the War Department asked. the Navy Department for sixteen rifles, which have now been promised.

It was said to day by Army officers that if the Filipinos had been enterprising enough to

mount on a ship soure of the guns they took from the Spanish gunboats at Zamboanga, they might have captured or destroyed some of the army transports. One officer hinted that word had been received that the Filipinos were arm...” ing some vessels, and that this was the real reason why the army transports were to have modern rifles.

Thirty guns are at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and will be shipped immediately to the Wash ingilon Ordnance Factory for some slight alterations before being installed on board the transports at San Francisco,

The Manila Sick List.

A MANIA, July Lith, The volunteers are greatly debilitated in con- sequence of their hard campaigning through three months of tropic weather. Since the middle of May no volunteer regiment has had a sick list of less than 20 per cent. Most of them at the present date have 25 per cent ill and a few regiments have less than one-third of their number on duty. The Nebraska Regiment has suffered the worst. It came in from San Fernando a few days ago with less than 200 men in the ranks. Some of its com panies have only two sets of fours. The South Dakota followed yesterday, with 275 men on duty, The Montana and Kansas regiments at San Fernando have not more than 280 avail- able men each.

The morning after the Washington troops took Morong, a week ago, only a63 men re- spoaded to the roll call The Washington men have been engaged since March tath in pre- the of and south from forming a junction in the region of

Laguna De Bay, often being engaged at the same time with the enemy in opposite direc

tions.

United States Infantry, who has charge of recruiting for the regular anny, will also have charge of the enlistment of volunteers. The regiment probably will be enlisted in short order. There are to be 1303 men and fifty officer in the regiment, and the recruiting officers will have all California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and pan of Idaho to draw on. General orders, which have arrived in this city, indicate that the newly appointed fieutenants and medical officers of the Thirty-fifth will be detailed toidssist the regular officers in recruit ing the regiment.

Cavalry for Philippines;

General'Otis has tried the

horses of Manila and near-by countries, but

none of them seem to be suitable for cavalry. It is the intention of Secretary Alger to have the mounts carefully selected, and he thinks that animals from the Southern States, not too heavy, but tough and wiry, will be the best.

* Fleet of Light War Vossels.

. WASHINGSTON, July 13th. The War Department is somewhat concerned over the failure of the transports Sherman and Grant to get away from Manila for the United States. It was intended that these vessels should leave the Philippines in time to arrive at San Francisco early in August, so that they might be of service in the transportation of volunteers. It was known by the department that the typhoon mentioned by General Otis in his dispatches was partly responsible for the delay in their departure, but now that General Otis has reported that the storms have ceased. Quartermaster General Ludington is at a loss to understand why the transports have not lefi Manila. A telegram was sent to-day fo-Solo- nel Pope, chief quartermaster at Manila, direct ing him to cable the reason for the delay and to state as near as possible when the transports will leave.

DISTURBANCES IN SUMATRA,

A telegram has been received by the Bata- vin papers from Palembang, under date 15th July, reporting that five hundred :anned D'ambiers have raided Djabi. This sultanate has, as is well known, repeatedly caused trouble to the Dutch government during the present century In 1858 an expedition was sent there and met with strong opposition. One of the results of this finally successful expedi tion was that a political agent, was stationed at Djambi, the capital, under the orders of the Resident of Falembang. This appointment was made over in 1875 to the Controleur which pointed to a satisfactory state of affairs. Sail a couple of years after, when Atjeh kept the Dutch hands full, the rest less elements were again repentedly awake. After 1858, however, the colonial reports spoke of a continual good. understanding with the Sultan, Ahmad Joinondin. In the meantime,

that matters were not too much to be trusted
