Wadhington, Aug. 24.—1 n
the muster out of volunteers,
which begins under orders issued
today, Georgia’s two batteries of
light artillery are scheduled for
early disappearance from ths
service.
It is probable that the First
regiment will be one of those
included in the next batch given
out at the war department. The
desire of that regiment to be
mustered out has been commu
nicated to the department.
There is a disposition on the
part of officials here to look isk
ance at requests for continuance
in service when such requests
come from officers.
As one of the officials of the
adjutant general’s office said
today :
“We want to ascertain if pos
sible the sentiments of the men,
not the officers. A lot of these
officers of volunteers have better
p tsltions from a monetary stand
point than they have ever held
bdore, while many of the pri
vates are making real personal
sacrifices in going into the ser
vice. We want so far as possible
to retain those who want to be
retained, but we prefer to have
other evidence than that of the
officers alone.”
In the adjutant general’s bul
letin issued yesterday afternoon
the following volunteer organi
zations are ordered mustered
out:
First Vermont volunteer in
fantry, First Maine volunteer
infantry, Fifty second lowa vol
unteer infantry, Sixth Pennsyl
vania volunteer infantry,. Fifth
Maryland volunteer infantry,
battalion Ohio light artillery,
Second New York volunteer in
fantry, First Illinois volunteer
infantry, One hundred and Fifty
seventh Indiana volunteer in
fantry, b itteries A and B Geor
gia light artillery, Twenty eighth
Indiana volunteer light battery,
trooj s A and B New York vol
teer cavalry, governor’s troop of
Philadelphia.
Other orders ‘o muster out
troops will be announced as soon
as definite decisions are reached
Senator Cushman J. Davis,
chairman of the senate commit
tee on foreign relations and so
lectod as a member of the com
mission to negotiate terms of
peace with Spain, arrived in
ashington today. He went to
tie white house very soon after
his arrival and remained with
the president for an hour.
Ihe conference was of a pre
liminary character, and was de
voted largely to the great ques
tion which the administration
will ha Ve to settle—the control
ot the Philippines.

three days and the terms of
peace for the American side will
be formulated as far as possible
in the conferences which will
occur between the president, the
secretary of state and the chair
man of the foreign relations
committee. These preliminaries
will be of great importance, as
all the diplomatic questions, the
examination of old treaties, the
many points to be involved in
the new treaty of necessity will
have to be thorougly considered
by the commissioners.

CUBAN THREATS.
Fearful Fate Promised Span
ish Residents
IN CITY OF HAVANA.
Blanco Forbids Correspondents
Entering City.
Havana, August 25.—The lo
cal papers express considerable
doubt, based upon a rereading
of President McKinley’s mes
sage to Congress last April, in
the light of recent events,
whether the United States gov
ernment has definitely pledged
itself to declare Cuba’s independ
ence.
A number of prominent Ha
’anese have recently received
threatening letters, signed by
insurgents, or anonymous and
evidently of insurgent origin.
Several of these letters tell those
to whom they are sent tint they
may choose the sort of tree on
which they will be hanged after
the insurgents have entered Ha
vana. This correspondent heard
a well known resident, who has I
always been in the employ of
Spanish houses and treated in
variably with consideration, I
advise his son, an insurgent
leader, not to come to Havana
unless at the head of a victorious '
column, even if the Americans
ordered him to come.
Pascual Golcochea, a promi
nent native planter at Gaines,
has received a letter from the
insurgent leader Camejo, a na
tive of Santo Domingo, now at
Nueva Paz. Mantanzas Province,
telling him he hopes to capture
him. “I will not kill you,” says
Camejo, “but I shall tie you to
a tree so that the mosquitoes
may kill you and the aura bird
devour you.”
Others have letters telling
them they will be beaten and
afterwards drawn and quartered.
Leading merchants at Cien
fuegos and planters in that dis
triet have been warned that they
must leave the island.
The authorites have declined
I
to allow the landing of a number
of American correspondents
who arrived off the harbor from
Santiago de Cuba. English resi
dents have strenuously objected
to the government’s action, and
Mr. Jerome, the British c >nsul,
accompanied by Capt. Stewart
Brice, son of former United
States Senator Brice, called
upon Gen. Blanco and urged
him to allow the correspondents
to land.
Gen. Blanco, however, de
clined to comply with the request
on the ground that their pres- 1
ence in Havana prior to the ar
rival of the military commission
er? from the United States
prejudice the work of the
commissioners while discussing
the peace details.
His attitude is supported by
the opinion of intelligent Span
iards, for, although nothing of
a disagreeable nature would be
expected to follow the presence
of the correspondents in the
citv, it would be impossible for,
the authorities, however earnest
their wishes to guarantee the
safety of the correspondents
against the act of some fanatic .
