ANXIETY SUCCEEDED BY JOY,
Populace Overcome by the News of the
BlOOdless Victory,

At no place in the country was the
feeling of joy, apart from the prompt
ings of patriotism. more genuine than
in Rock Island. During the day after
the news came to The ARGUS of the
important position Gen. Garretson' s
brigade. embracing Company A. was
to occupy in possible engagement.
public anxiety rose to the highest
tension, and the relief that came with
the announcement of national victory
can only be appreciated by those
whose hearts were aching. And last
night our own soldier boys received
the plaudits that have seldom been
given the nations victorious. 1t is,
as it happened, source Of peculiar
qualification to know that inasmuch
as our own brave boys were in the
service they We're permitted to parti-
cipate in the enforcement of capitula-

WANT TO COME HOME.
WISH OF VOLUNTEERS AT MANILA,
HOWEVER, CANNOT BE GRANTED.
A LARGER ARMY NOW THE WORD.
President VIII Recommend One of
$4,000 or 100000 Men-Troops Need
ed for the Purpose of GarrisoninG
Our Dependencies.

WASHINGTON, November 1.-The re-
quest Of the First Colorado Infantry to
be returned from Manila to the United
States cannot be granted by the war
Department. 1t was stated by officers Of
the army to-day that such requests had
been frequent from soldiers of volunteer
organizations who enlisted TO fight but
did not enlist for garrison duty. The de-
sire Of this regiment to return home was
simply the desire of other volunteers.
Nothing could be done, an officer said
until Congress met and provided some
kind of force TO take the place of volun-
teers.
The subject of reorganizing the army
with a view to securing an adequate
force for the new possessions OF the
United States has already received the
consideration of the President. the Sec
rotary of War, and officers of the army
The President will make recommended
lions 10 Congress on this subject, en-
bodying his views, and the views OF
those who are in position to give MIN
the very best advice. 1t is probable that
he will recommend an Increase or the
army to something like 100000 men, al
though this is not certain, and he may
think that 1900 is enough.
NATIVE AUXILIARIES.
There has been some talk also Of using
for garrison duty two companies or a
battalion of natives to each regiment do
ing garrison duty in Cuba, Porto Rico,
and the Philippines. 1t is believed that
bv this method a considerable portion
of the restless population of the Islands,
and especially those who have been bear
ing arms in the insurgent or Spanish
armies. could be kept quiet and law
abiding.
1t is stated by officers of the army
that the duties devolving upon the troops
under the new order of things cannot
he satisfactory to volunteers, and that
an army will have to be provided which
will 90 where il Is sent without COM
plaint of any kind. The men who en-
list in the regular army hereafter VIII
understand that they are likely to be
called upon at any time TO go out OF the
country. and to garrison distant lands
for long periods.
IL is believed that the demands which
have been made upon Senators and
Representatives for the muster-out Of vol
unteer reg ments and the discharge OF
volunteers In regiments which have re-
uained in me service, has been so great
that they VIII be convinced that regu-
lar army for garrison duty in the new
possessions is an absolute necessity.

THE TERESA PROBABLY SAFE.
She Is Expected to Reach Hampton
Roads Next Sunday.

WASHINGTON, November 1.-The
Navy Department is under no apprehen-
sion as to the safety Of the Maria Teresa,
although some fear has been expressed
in the Santiago dispatches that the vessel
along with her consorts, the Vulcan and
the Leonidas. have fallen into the sphere
of West Indian cyclones. The Teresa
passed Cape Maysie, at the eastern ex-
tremity of Cuba, early yesterday morn
ing. bound for Hampton Roads, and sig
nailed that all was we'll and her ma
chinery was working smoothly. BY this
time according to the calculations Of
naval officers she should be well on to-
ward the Bahamas, keeping to the east
ward and away from the Florida coast
Meanwhile, the Weather Bureau report 20
the Navy Department shows that a cy-
clone is forming TO the southwest of Ha-
bana. which probably will come up the
southwest coast of Florida, and IL this
prediction is true the warship would be
well away from the pathway of the cy-
clone-at least 1000 miles, according to
the calculations.
TO BE REPAIRED AT NORFOLK.
The latest calculation made at the De-
partment is that the Teresa will arrive
in Hampton Roads next Sunday after
noon. Presenting that she has no fever
aboard, she probably will come up to
the Norfolk navy-yard for survey.
Whether the repairs recommended by
that board will be made at the same
navy-yard or not will depend largely
upon the report Of the board and upon
the recommended of Chief-Con-
structor Hichborn. but the probabilities
are that the work will be done in Nor
folk

Great Britain's Dependencies.
(The Chautauquan.)


Says Professor Bryce: More by series
of what may be called historical acci-
dents than from any deliberate purpose,
Great Britain has acquired vast trans
marine possessions" This is peculiarly
true of the British settlements an nro-
tectorates in Africa and the far East.
The English have no possessions in North
Africa. The sphere of their influence
and dominion In the Dark Continent ex-
tends from Cape Verde on the west and
the Gulf of Alden on the east to the Cape
of Good Hope. Engiand's scattered
Colonies and dependencies in this dis
trict have an area OF more than 81 n
square miles. and a population estimated
from ten TO forty millions. To Great
Britain more than TO any other na.lon
belongs the credit of hrinTng hi na-
known land into contact with European
civilization. British enterprise and capt.
tai have done much 10 develop its abun-
dant resources. British traders. hunters,
soldiers and missionaries have traversed
It's wilds and sailed its rivers and lakes
Along with other blessings that England
has brought 10 Africa, her share In sup
pressing the slave trade should not be
forgotten.

LIST. Attempts to make it appear that
the death Of Colonel Waring from yell
low-fever has changed the plans OF the
department are without basis.
When General Lee was in Washington
the earliest date he recommended LOT
sending troops into Cuba was November
18th. and he did this with several re-
servations. suggesting that only small
number be sent. and to particular places
where there was little danger OF disease
and fever.
SELECTION OF CAMP SITES.
With a view to making arrangements
for the troops, board OF officers was
sent 10 Cuba TO select camp sites ana
ascertain what was needed for the troops.
The principal officers of this board, Colo
nels Hecker and Lee. have been ordered
TO Washington, and their reports Will
be carefully considered before any troops
are sent 10 the island.
The War Department, moreover. does
not wish 10 have any conflict with the
Spanish troops as to occupation OF
towns, and. therefore, desires to send
the United States troops into Cuba only
a short time before the Spanish troops
evacuate.
Owing 10 climatic conditions. the
United States has not been pressing for
immediate evacuation. requiring only
that certain preparations should be made
by the Spanish authorities.
