MUSTERING OUT OF TROOPS. r w—r- War Department Finds It at Hard Task To Select the Regiments. » W'as'hi-ngton, Aug. 19.—Th-e selection of the troops to be mustered out under the decision reached to reduce the volunteer army to the smallest possible numbers, is proving a. difficult matter to the president; and the secretary Of war. As soon as the announcement was made that this would be done protests began to come in from the governors and prominent persons of the several states. wlh'ose troops it was supposed would be included in the order, alleging favoritism and unfairness in the (ll-stri- butlon of soldiers for service. One of the assistant'adju'tant generals yester- day said that there was a perfect ava- lanche of protests coming In. He said: ’ ‘ “The boys who have ngt yet seen ser- vice want at least an opportunity to go .to Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philippines, and say so strongly; and few of the soldiers, comparatively. business and professional men and those who have substantial interests at home, ask to be mustered out now that the war is over, but the great majority desire to see something of army life aside from camp routine before returning. How to satisfy them all is a. perplexing ques- tion.” General Corbin confirmed this view of the situation. and in answer to the question, “Will the list of troops to be mustered out be published to-day?" (Secretary Alger said yesterday he ex- pected it would be made public at once) he said: “No, it will not be published to-day nor to-morrow nor the next day, nor the day after that. We’ll be lucky if it is decided upon by the end. of next H week. J. . ... nuns a“. . NO MOVING FROM CHICkAMAUGA Gen, Breeklnrldgn Hal No Orders to Seuu Troops Away. Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 19.——General Breckin-fidge has issued no orders yet regarding a. movement of troops to the new camps. He has received no in- struction-s from Washington and the impression prevails that the troops will not be moved. A staff officr this morning said: “It is my opinion from information I have that when it is necessary to muster out the troops they will. be sent to their state capitals and there be mustered out of Service. Until that is done there will be no movement of troops and no change of camps." Pension Commissioner Evans write to a friend here saying that he had consulted General Corbin, and that the general had told him that he had no intention of recommending a. change from Chxkamauga, that he was per- fectly satisfied that the place was as healthful as any, and in fact did not think a change advisable. The practice marches began tO-day, when the First Illinois cavalry went to Lookout Mountain. General Matteok’s command will go to Dayton Tenn., 'to-m-Orrow for a march. Since the army came to Ohio- kamauga 302 soldiers, including both regulars and volunteers. have died. The First Vermont leaves for Fort Eth'an Allen to-morrow. Massacred by Spanish. Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 17, delayed in transmission—Reports are coming in from all directions of out-rages com~ mitted within the Spanish lines. Doubt- less many of theSe are exaggerated. but the rumors of a. massacre at Ciales are confirmed. Some Of the natives there took refuge in the belfry of (the cathe- dral and fired on the Spanish troops. but they Were overpowered and ma— cheted to «the number of eighty. Battery N of the Seventh regiment. under Captain McComb, was unable to proceed along the mountain trail with General Henry, and. having lost a gun and six horses War a precipice, return- ed here. The health of the troops is steadily improving. The typhoid fever brought from Camp Alger and Camp Chicka- mauga is of a mild type and is fast disappearing. Strict sanitation is being enforced with the gratifying result that sickness ‘has decreased from 'ten to three per cent. Today’s reports show only 430 sick in hospital quarters out of a. total command of 15,000. Most of these cases are climatic complaints. The army is being revaccinafed, as there is a small pox epidemic in some portions of tire island. The auxiliary cruiser Prairie, former- ly El Sol, leflt fro-day for Santiago, to take troops to Montaiuk Point. General Miles has postponed his visit to the from: on account of rain.

Chicago, Aug. 19.—A big combination of the cotton thread concerns of the country is reported to be on the eve of completion. It will, it is said, be capi— talized at $18,000,000 and will practical- ly control all the plants of importance and four-fifths of the thread output of America. A decrease in the price of thread will probably result. The new concern. according to the statements made, is to be an Anglo- American affair, with a. large propor- tion of its capital Iheld by the English thread combination or by its represent- I atives. By working in complete her- mony with the English interest, it will bring practically all the cotton thread output of both countries under one con- trol. aw Storm in Penn-ylvanla. Lancaster, Pa., Aug. 19,—A series of terrific storms, accompanied by high wind and heavy rain, passed over this county Wednesday night, doing con- siderable damage.
