Rather Than Cuba and Porto Rico the Reason for Keeping Volunteers in the Service. Possibility of Trouble With Germany. Washington, fSept. 14,—Tremendous pressure is still being brought to bear on the war department to have more troops mustered out of the service. Efforts in this direction, however, are of no avail. It is announced, however, with increased emphasis, that there will be no more troops mustered out. The situation does not admit of any further reduction in the army, and efforts are being made to put those volunteers who are retained in the ser— vice as near as possible on the footing of the regulars in the matter of drill and discipline. An effort is being made to eradicate the amateurish idea of in- dependence among the troops and to bring. them down to the strictest dis- cipline. The purpose at the outset was to muster out one hundred thousand vol- unteers. A little over ninety-six thou- sand have already been mustered out, and it is announced positively that there will be no more mustered out, no matter what influence is brought to bear. This ninety-six thousand, it is un- derstood, includes many regiments or- dered to be mustered out, but which have not yet actually left the ser- vice. ' The principal concern of the admin- istration is with respect to the Philip— pines. It is denied that any army official reports have been received concerning the attitude of the inSur- gents, although, of course, there is no pretence that the administration is en- tirely free from concern on that score. The general feeling in the war depart- ment is that General Otis will be able to deal. with Aguinaldo and his fol- lowers. At the same time it is cau- tiously acknOwledged in certain high official circles that-.the possibility‘of [trouble with Germany on account of the Philippines is still before us, and has not been diminished by the recent information concerning the German at- titude in the Philippines. The retention of the volunteers now in the service and the efforts to im- prove ‘thte morale of the army, has in view the Philippine situation, more than that of Cuba and Porto Rico, al- though there is a great deal of vague- ness as to the danger apprehended there. SPAIN VOTES FOR PEACE Cortes Passes the Bill Sanctioning the Protocol Madrid, Sept. 14.—Both houses of the Cortes have passed the bill sanctioning the signing of the peace protocol. ‘ The vote on the bill sanctioning the Signing of the peace protocol was 171 to 43. The government has decided to sus- pend the session of the Cortes to pre— vent a repetition of the violent scenes that have occurred in the Senate. Replying in the Senate to an attack by Senor Gonzales, Prime Minister Set-- gasta said that neither Canovas del Castillo nor himself had been in power long enough to change the character of the Spanish race, which was the true cause of the country’s disasters. He added: . “We, an anaemic nation, were attack- ed at a time when we were acting as honest men would have acted, and we defended ourselves. I have sacrificed my prestig, but I have done so because I believe that the path I am following is the best." General Linares‘. formerly the com— mander of the Spanish troops in San- tiago, and the governor of the prov-l ince, has arrived in Madrid, and was met by a number of generals and a few junior officers. General Linares is the most unpopular man of the re- turned Cuban troops. The N: \v Battleship.

The Pogo Page Coallng Station San Francisco, Sept. 14.—Healey, Tibbitts & Co. of this city have been awarded the contract for constructing the coaling station at Pago ‘Pago, Sa- moa. - Their bid of $142,900, while not the lowest, was considered the most sat— isfactory, and Commissioner Tanner, United States navy, who came to the coast to pass upon the matter, decided to accept it. , Suicide of Ex—Judge McCormick.

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, Sept. 14.-—The mustering out of the Rough Riders began yesterday. The regiment turned out to a man, and first formed in a hollow square, in the middle of which was Colonel Roosevelt. Then the men presented to their leader a hand- some bronze replica of Remington’s “Bucking Broncho.” ' The gift was purchased by» popular subscription on the part of the oflicers Interesting the same amount, and they were all proud of the fact that it took less than an hour to raise the whole sum. ‘ The ceremonies began when the men marched out of quarters and formed the square at parade rest. Colonel Roosevelt was conducted from his tent by Lieutenant Colonel Brodie, preced- ed by the company color bearers car- rying the colors. ‘ He took his station beside a rough wooden table, upon which was placed the statue covered with an army blan- ket. Private William S. Murphy, 3. law- yer from Indian Territory, and a mem~ ber of Troop M, stood beside the table and in presenting the gift made a brief speech. I . Then he raised the blanket, while the troopers cheered and howled. Colonel Roosevelt, turning to the group of his oflicers, standing behind him, said: “Nothing could have been selected which would please me more." Then he spoke very feelingly to his comrades. At the close he asked that the men be passed'before him single file that he might take each one by the hand. Colonel Roosevelt knows personally every man in the regiment, and with- out exception called them by their first names. The ceremony occupied more han an hour, and when that was ver the Daymaster got out his tables and strong boxes and began paying off. As the men sign the final muster call they are practically mustered out, but in this case they prefer to wait and be declared out by their commanders. . 3 PROPOSED WAR INQUIRY. h————— sion’s Lack of Authority. Wash‘ington, Sept. 14.—'1‘he difficulty which is being experienced in the con- struction of tthe proposed commission for the investigation of thte conduct of the staff branches of the army dur- ing the war with Spain, has excited some discussion in military circles as to the possibility of the practical fail- ure of an investigation by a. commis- sion. It develops that there is a. decided disapproval among army ofiicers of the proposition to haVe the conduct of the war investigated by a civil commis- sion which cannot be clothed with any judicial authority. The objection is not on account of any prejudice against civil authorities interfering in military matters, but is due to the fact that. testimony before a commission not possessing judicial authority, would be in a manner vol- ,untary, and would, it is said, put offi- ICCI‘S in the attitude of gratuitously l giving testimony which might be dam~ aging to individuals or to the admin~ istration of the war department. Army officers say that it would her-.0 trouble to get all the information there is concerning the campaign at San— tiago, the management of the war ’thro‘ugh the department, and the op- crationsof the medical, the quarter- master’s and-the commissary depart- ments, if a tribunal or board were or- ganized with authority to compel tes- timony, but that officers will not jeop- ardize their own interests, nor put themselves in the attitude of being voluntary informers when the compo~ sition of the commission making the“ inquiry is not such as to make it com- pulsory upon them to tell what they may know. ‘ Seven Thousand Fed. Long Island City, L. 1., Sept. 14.»- Since the Red Cross Relief Station was openrd opposite the Long Island Railroad depot in this city over seven thousand soldiers have been fed by the managers, while over half that number have been given sleeping ac- commodations for one or more nights, as well as medical attendance.
