Government is Wot Going to Tern
Any of Them Loom Under Two
Tears Except Those Unfit
Washington, Auk. 16.—With peace
comes the important question, what
will become of the volunteer army?
To the thousands of parents, wives
aad sweethearts of the voluoVWr sol*
diers an end of the war means the im
mediate return of the loved ones. It
is probable that the rank and file of
the volunteers themselves look at the
matter in the same light. A bitter
disappointment is in store for all who
bold this belief.
The army ot the United States today
is composed of about 45,000 regulars
and about 155,000 volunteers. There
have been two calle for volunteers.
Neither of these calls were fully enlist
ed, and since enlistment disease and
death have thinned the ranks, while
many more have been discharged from
physical defects. The regulars have
lost men in a similar way. Il is a fair
estimate to say that the total military
force of the United States today is
about2oo,ooo men.
Now, suppose the war ended today,
what use would Uncle Sam have for
soldiers?
In the first place, there must be a
standing army in the United States.
One always has been maintained, and
the government would insist that an
army of at least 25,000 men must be
in service within the borders ot the
country.
Porto Rico will become a part of the
United States, and a government must
be established there. Pending the
growth of a civil government military
sway will be necessary. No less than
10,000 troops will be required for this
duty. The military establishment
would continue for a year at the very
least.
Next comes Cuba. If the island is
turned over to the Cubans the United
States is bound to keep order until the
Cuban republic is able to sustain it
self. If the island shall be kept by
the United States, bayonets will be
needed to keep order, while the people
are being educated to the (act that
they are a part of a civilized commu
nity. In either case not less than 60,-
000 men will be needed in this work,
and it is hardly probable that a stable
government can be btrilt up in less
than two years.
Hawaii will not need a big garrison,
but, “just for looks,” and to keep any
malcontents in line, it is probable that
at least 2,500 men will be stationed
there. These will probably stay until
their terms of enlistment shall expire,
when the ranks will be filled from the
recruits from the islands or from the
United States.
* A naval station is to be established
in the Ladrone Islands. This will
make a fairly strong garrison ncces
sary to guard the depot of supplies.
About 1,000 is a low estimate for the
Lad rones.
Then for the Philippines; When
all the men now under orders shall
reach Merritt he will have a force of
30,000. Until all danger of interna
tional complication shall be over none
of them will be withdrawn. It is
probable that the whole force will be
kept at Manila for nearly a year and
then gradually withdrawn.
To start with there was an army of
200,000 men. All the garrisons enum
erated above must be drawn from this
force; but, first of all, a further de
duction must be made-
Tbeee garrisons will be of picked
men, and as a result, the army will
be culled over. Sick men, convales
cents and men incapacitated by dis
ease will be discharged. This culling
will reduce the army by at least 10
per cent.
The army then may be divided as
follows:
Cuban Stations6o,ooo
Porto Rico,lo,ooo
Hawaii..2,soo
Ladroneel,ooo
Standing army (in the U. 8.)25,000
Philippines - 30,000
Discharged for disabilities....2o,ooo
Totall4B,ooo
The volunteers’who enlisted went in
for two years, and they may be held
for the full term of their enlistment.
It can be readily seen therefore, that
a treaty of peace does not necessarily
mean that the vacant chair at home
will be filled, nor that the citizen sol
dier will return at once to the arts of
peace.
The men in the state camps may
wind up on some lonely South Pacific
island, as it is probable that the 50,000
men who will be discharged will be
the battle-ecarred "vets” of Shafter’s
arrtiy and the Porfo ftidanuampalifii.
who bate done their
share and the troops who will bake so
far remained in camp will be given a
taste of real military life. The mili*
tary sharps may fix up some scheme,
but at present the foregoing sizes up
the future as seen by the gossips here.
Camp Life in a Natahell.
“J. H. 8.,” a member of the Sixty
fifth Regiment, at Camp Alger, sends
home the following rather amusing
poetical epitome of the experiences of
the soldiers, entitled * Camp Life in a
Nutshell,” says the Buffalo Commer
cial :
Singing ballads, playing cards,
Eating side meat, running guards,
Marching, drilling, exercising,
Lying ’round philosophizing,
Digging ditches, learning tactics,
Standing guard until your back aches;
Doing laundry, picking trash up,
Cleaning camp and dishing hash up;
Cooking pork and taking baths,
Eating hardtack, cleaning paths;
Getting yellow as a tanyard,
Wondering when we’ll meet the Span
iards ;
Reading papers, reading books,
Fasting, grumbling, "cussing” cooks;
Writing letters, cleaning tents up,
In our trousers sewing rents up; .
Drilling like old time cadets,
Smoking pipes and cigarettes,
Telling stories, making wishes.
Splitting wood and washing dishes;
Turning in at sound of ‘ taps,”
Spouting verse and shooting craps;
Getting up at 5 o’clock,-
Wanting fight and hearing talk;
Thinking that we’re not in clover,
Wondering when the war’ll be over.
The Oyater and QuahM* United.
Oysters have a well known habit of at
taching themselves to any object they may
come in contact with in the water. An
old shoe or boot, a bottle, another oyster
or a small quahaug are familiar examples,
but in almost every instance where an
oyster and quahaug an found grown to
each other one is much smaller than the
other. Exceptions to this rule an so un
common that when an oysterman of Paw
tuxet found an oyster and quahaug at
tached to each other and of the same size
recently the oldest clammen and oyster
men in Pawtuxet said they bad never seen
the like before. „
The oyster was a large one, at least 6 er
7 yean old, and the quahaug, to which it
was attached at the hinge of the shell, was
within a year of the same age and had
also attained its full growth. Both bl
valvea wen handsome specimens, and both
wen alive. The two united, yet separate,
wen placed on exhibition in the window
of Green’s fish market, when a largo part
of the male population of the village as
sembled at some time during the day or
evening. Then they wen viewed by men
With many yean of experience in handling
quahauga and oysters, who all said they
had never seen another instance when a
full grown oyster and quahaug had united.
Now, alas, only the sheila remain to tell
the tale of this natural ourlopity. Fred
Remington, a clerk in the market, opened
both bivalves last week and extracted the
meat without breaking the hinges or sep
arating the sheila With the edges of each
shell slightly apart, showing the interior,
the two an more of a curiosity than be
fore. —Providence Journal.
Sir John Millais* Versatility.
For a period of nearly 60 years Millais
bad been before the public as an artist, and
for the greater part of that time he has
sustained his reputation as the greatest
painter of his day. He has painted his
tory, romance, poetry, landscape, portrait,
and has made his mark in each. No one
else has attempted so wide a range of sub
jects, few have shown a greater variety of
invention or approached him in hia com
mand over tools and materials. It to only
within the laat few years that he has shown
any decline of power, and it was only the
other day that Mr. Watts, his great col
league, observed to me of one of hia pic
tures in the present exhibition of the
Royal academy £1896) that aa painting it
was “as good as ever.’* His art lain no
aense ideal. His imagination cannot body
forth things unknown or rise to any great
hereto height He haa never attempted to
represent rapid or violent action, but in
side these lines his powers are splendid
and exuberant. »
An almost matchless draftsman, a col
orist of great truth and force, a pafhter of
extraordinary imitative power, with a
handling not always pleasant perhaps,
but of the utmost sureness and freedom,
be has left a body of work which both
for quantity and quality has scarcely
been equaled in modern art. Indeed, the
whole of hia work haa been so sincere and
full of fresh life, it reflects so forcibly his
own personality and the living spirit of
hto day, that it is difficult to bplleve that
ft can ever become uninteresting to pos
terity.—Cosmo Monkhouae in Soribner’a
