Washington. Aug. 23.—-A general or-
ier establishing the method of muster-
.i’fig out troops was issued to-day and
army officers will be designated to con-
duct the transfer from active service.
The general order issued this after-
noon, which publishes, the instructions
for the muster out of volunteers, con-
tains one feature of special interest in
the provision for a physical examina-
tion of officers and men. This is impor-
tant in the settlement of pension claims
arising from war service, and was not
unsorted without opposition. It is or-
dered that a. thorough examination be
m'uie of all officers and enlisted men
firmediately prior to their muster out,

I.“ zde» on blanks furnished for that pur-
p-ise. Arrangements “are also made for
’x‘fie payments of the mustered out
troops at the state rendezvous. A pro-
";wsltion- is also made for the sale to
the enlisted men of their arms and no-
-mutrements, at prices ranging from
one cent for a spoon to $10 for a. Spring-
l‘ieldrifl-e or a Colt revolver.
The idea of a physical examination
doc-the volunteers mustered out is one
which may be extended to the regulars

medical corps and of Colonel Ains-
morch, chief of the Record and Pension
office of the war department, regards
tothis final physical examination, were
outlined in these dispatches last May.

Eastern Cuban News.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 22.—A negro
soldier belonging to the Eighth Illinois
regiment of :immunes was shot dead
on Friday night at San Luis, a short
distance east of Santiago, where a bat-
talion of the regiment was sent to do
guard duty soon after its arrival about
a week ago. ' ,
The soldier who was killed was act-
ing as a sentinel, and ordered several
armed Cubans who were passing his
post to halt. The Cubans misunder-
stood the order and the sentinel fired
upon them. The Cubans returned the
fire and the sentinel fell dead. '
General Lawton, upon hearing of the
occurrence, sent a staff officer to San
Luis yesterday to investigate the affair.
but the ofiicer'was unable to obtain
any definite information. Accordingly
General Shatter himself went to San
Luis to-day to look into the state of
affairs there.
The Cuban civil authorities ralsed
the Cuban flag over the municipal buil-
dings this morning. but General Wood
ordered it taken down. Cubani flags
were also hoisted over the house of the
San Ca-rlos’Club and several stores and
these were left flying.
One merchant who had raised a‘Cu-
ban flag told Colonel Hood he was
afraid that the American soldiers would
stone his place. Colonel Hood sent a
sentinel to protect the merchant and
his belongings.

Camp Wikoff. Montauk Point, Aug.
23.—The conditions in the hospitals at
Camp VVikoff are far better than any-
one expected yesterday, when there
were nine hundred patients in the beds
and some five hundred more 'to care for.
’i‘he transports which arrived can-Satur-
day night and Monday brought 354 sick,
but although there was room for them
in the hospital annex which was erec-
ted Monday, no attempt was made to
land them. This will be done later,
when C-olone2 Fox-wood has finished the
work now under way.
The situation in which the hospital
corps was placed by the arrival of the
Seneca and Mobile set everybody to

notification from the Spanish govern—
ment of the military commissioners for

Why Hay \Vas Recalled.
Hondon, Aug. 23.-—The Manchester
Guardian says: We understand that
United States Ambassador Hay’s recall
to Washington, to accept the post of
secretary of state, is title to his special
fitness to carry out a policy in regard
to which negotiations have been pro-
eeding for some time between Wash—
ington and London, and upon which a
substantial agreement has been reach-
ed. whereby the two countries will act
togtther in the far East, or wherever
American and British interests are
identical.
flihere is no intention of binding the
nations in alliance. Each is wto be free
to pursue its own destinies in its own
way, but the governments will act to-
gether diplomatically where their com-
mon interests are concerned.

"' ABANDONING CAMP THOMAS.
Orders to Secure Bids for Transom-ting I
Regiments to TheerState Capitals.
Chattanooga Park. Tenn. Aug. 23-—'
Judging from the present indications.
Camp Thomas, the largest .inilitax‘i'
camp of the Spanish-American war,
will soon be a. thing of the past. A
number of regiments have beenordered
home, a number'of others have been or-
dered to Knoxville, Tenn, and Lexing-
ton, Ky., and now comes an order to
Colonel Wheeler, acting chief quarter-
master, to secure bids from railroads
to convey all regiments remaining at
the camp to their respective state capi-
tals. The idea seems to be to get the
regiments to places where they can be
mustered out close to home, the neces-
sity for keeping the army intact being
no longer in evidence.
Numerous regiments are now making
preparations to leave. and by the end
of the Week the population of the camp
is expected 'to be reduced one-half. The
regiments ordered to Knoxville and
Lexington will,.be moved as rapidly as
transportation can be secured, and as
soon as t‘hese‘are got out those ordered
home will be started on their way.
The First Georgia and Thirty-first
Michigan left at midnight for Knox-
ville, where they will go into camp. The
Twelfth Minnesota and the Fifth Penn-
sylvania. will leave at an early hour to-
morrow for Lexington, and others of
the Second and Third division of the
(First Corps will follow in short or
er.
The ambulance company of the Third
division goes to Knoxville oto-mou-ow
morning. . A”;

Washington, his presence there being
no longer needed. Upon the receipt of
this message General Miles was inform-

ment that this message reached*
Charleston in time and that Mrs. Miles
did not embark.

Porto Rico, Major General Brooke will
be left in command of the trOOps on the
island. It is expected that General

the best, a few drops of glycerine drop-
