BE KEPT TOGETHER- 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 CANTORZA., Bean the /yTMlati Yoi Hiw Mwys Bteghl Bigaatan ' There is a central electric lighting station at Manila, which supplies cur rent for 12,000 incandescent and 260 arc lamps.
