100,000 TROOPS
Will be Mustered Dill of Ser

THE PRESIDENT DECIDES
Hw Will Review the Santiago
Army, In New York City.
Washington, Aug. 18.—At
midnight the president announ
ced hie decision to muster out of
sereice from 75,000 to 100,000
of the volunteers. Those to be
discharged will include three
branches of the service—infan
try, artillery and cavalry.
The question of the mustering
out of the volunteers has been
under consideration for several
days. It was quite evident * to
begin with that a considerable
force necessarily would have to
be retained.
With only a part of the volun
teer force to be mustered out, it
becomes a delicate question to
designate the organizations
which should go.
From a prominent official of
the administration, it is under
stood to be the desire of the
president to ascertain the wishes
of the volunteer troops them
selves, as to remaining in the
service.
One or two organizations have
already indicated a desire to
leave the service as soon as the
government can reasonably do
without them They are com
posed largely of business and
workingmen, whose private in
terests are sufleriwg oy reason
of their absence from home.
« the interest of the
» government will permit, it is
—♦ E-,
believed that the president in
the mustering out of the volun
teers, will accommodate hjmseif
to the desires of the men them
selves.
Within certain obvious limita
tion, those troops who want to
be mustered out will be, and
those who desire to continue in
■■
the service will be retained so
long as they may be needed.
It may be some time before
the organizations to be mustered
out will be designated, but the
reduction of the volunteer forces
will be made as soon as possi-.
ble.
President Mckinley has de
cided that he will review the
heroas of Santiago in New York
city, if his duties will permit.
He so informed Major General
Wheeler, with whom he had a
long conference today, and who
is to assume command at Mont
tauk Point pending the arrival
of Gen, Shafter.
Necessarily, the date for the
review will be some
time distant, as the president’s
plans are that the soldiers at
Montauk Point should have am
♦
pie time to fully recover from
the effectsof the severe campaign
in Cuba.

them that if any Cubans came
to Santiago and attempted to
enter the city by force the
American troops would stop
them.
General Shafter is exceedingly
unpopular among the Cubans,
and a meeting was held at one of
their camps near the city today,
which passed a resolution express
ing gratification that General Law->
ton has been appointed to com'
mend the troops in Santiago.
General Lawton was informed
of this by a spy’ and at once sent
word to the Cubans that they
could best show their appreciation
of the change in command by
putting away their arms and help*
ing the Americans to - restore and
maintain order.
General Toral, who surrendered
the city to General Shafter, sails
for Spain this afternoon. He said
he would he the last Spaniard to

General Toral spoke iu the high

hands ot the Ameican etiicers. He
said to your representative that he
had received many congratulatory
letters from Americans and Span
iards as well. He did not know
what kind of a reception awaited
him id Spain, but he had done
his duty, and was willing to abide
by the result. He was confident,
he ssid that Spain would do him
justice, and that was all he
asked.
‘General Toral said that the
health of his Koops was wretched,
owing to the starvation and ex
posure they had endured and the
sanitary condition of thecamp.
