10HTH YEAR smoke a “Bill Arp ’ warters New Brand w DEPARTMENT Will Listen For ’lie Wee Small Voice of The Private AND imTER THEM OUT Where They Aek it. Davis Calls on Cleveland 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. Afterwards Senator Davis w «nt to the state department and saw Secretary Day, who is also t<» l>e a member of ;he peace Coru mission.

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 .
