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. _ , I Beware of Imitations ll I I Jate mmk Uw «MBL 5 1 i CUBANS WARNKD - By Gen.

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.
