GOVERNORS HEARD FROM.

Washington, August 20.-The secretary
of war hastreoeived a number of tele-
grams from the governors of various
states in regard to the proposed reduction
of the army. In the majority of cases the
governors suggest regiments OF their
states which may be mustered out among
the first, but there are several cases
where the governors say that cert ain of
their state troops are exceedingly DESTROYS
of remaining in the military service and
taking part In any further campaigns.
The secretary of war is preparing list of
regiments which shall be mustered out
first under the present plan OF reducing
the army by 10000 or 100, 900 men. 1t Is
probable this list will be made public
next week in which time 1t is hoped to
have the matter fully determined.
The first Ohio infantry, attached to the
fourth army corps at Fernandina, has been
ordered to Jacksonville and attached to
the seventh army corps under Major
General Lee. This action is taken at the
request of the regiment with view to
their employment III the army to be sent
to Havana in the fall The other regi-
ments of the fourth army corps at Fer
nandina have been ordered to Huntsville,
Ala. The second regiment of Alabama
infantry has requested that it be assigned
to duty with the army Of occupation of
Cuba. According to communicationssr re-
ceived at the War Department today, a
majority Of the mem bsrs of the fifth Ken.
lucky infantry at Chiokamauga are in
favor of the mastering out of the regi-
ment.

TROUBLESOME QUESTIONS.

Washington, August 2O.-Premier Sa-
gasta's claim, as set forth in Madrid de-
spatches, that Spain will expect in
demnity for all government property,
buildings, barracks, Notifications, etc. in
Cuba, Porto Rico and elsewhere, has ex-
cited much comment as showing the diff
cult questions to be treated by the mill
tary and peace commissions. In official
quarters here there is no disposition to
make a counter-claim to Sagasta's propo-
sition for this will be done in due time
before the commissions and there Is no
purpose to outline the government S
policy in advance.
At the same time officials express their
individual opinion that Premier Sagasta S
claim is very far fetched, as it Is said to
be the established rule of international
law that all public property Of con-
quered government passes to the con-
queror when change of territory OCCURS
The rule is equally we'll established that
private property undergoes no change.
While these are general rules in the case
of actual conquest, it is appreciated that
new principles may be required to meet
new conditions, as the circumstances
under which Cuba and Porto Rico come
under our control are somewhat novel.
In the case of Cuba, the question is
further complicated by the fact that the
United States has not admitted purpose
to acquire or annex the territory but
merely to free it from Spanish dominion.

AMATEUR BURGLARS
Break Into Houses Closed for the sum-
Iner.

A gang of burglars is operating in
Portland choosing as a rule the houses
of people who are out of town as the
scenes of their nocturnal visits. The po-
lice have long list of the houses of
those who are at the seashore and in the
country and as far as possible the officers
endeavor to keep a vigilaut watch on the
premises, but there are only 40 policemen
and the number Of the vacant houses is
legion. So the thieves have had good
chance. About a week ago they broke
into the house of Mr.. j. r. Libby on
Danforth street, and ransacked it from
top to bottom, getting little or nothing
for their pains. Nearly every night in
the past week a break has been reported.
At the house Of Mr.. Edward II. Daveis
on Bowdoin street, the thieves enjoyed
the luxury of q BATH This was undoupt-
edly good for them. 1t was the only
thing OF great value they procured there.
At the house of Mrs Charles J. Chap
man, on the corner of Spring and Neal
streets, only short distance from the
Daveis house. quantity of jewelry was
secured. Another house visited was that
Of Major Sidney W. Thaxter on Spring
street, about opposite the premises of
Mrs. Chapman, Friday night. Mr. Leon
ard Short, who lives on Storer street,
heard somebody attempting to enter his
house. MIR. Short arose and his move
ments apparently frightened the intru-
ders away. The police are of the opinion
that the burglars are amateurs. Profess
SIGNALS would not bother to break into
empty houses where the chances are they
would find little of value. 1t is evident
that the burglaries have been committed
by the same persons, for on the windows
BY which entrance has been effected to
houses. are the marks of the same small
