PORTION MAY BE FURLoUGHED
Expected 1885, Q Men VIII BE Stationed
In Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-Thus far the
question of the disbandment of the
volunteer army has not been given sc.
rious consideration by the war officials.
A considerable force necessarily will
have to be maintained for several
months. perhaps a year. In the opin.
ion of war department. officials this
force will be about $4,000 men. It
will be kept in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines, principally, although
q few troops will be stationed in Ha.
wall.
How the army will be disbanded has
not been determined. It is likely that
the volunteer troops now in Porto
Rico, or rather so many of them as
may not be needed there, will be
brought back to the United States. and
then turloughed from the camps Of
mobilization pending their actual dis.
charge from the service Of the United
States. It is probable that this method
Of disbanding the army will be fol.
lowed in the case Of all the volunteer
troops. At present it seems unlikely
that the strength Of the United States
forces will be materially weakened
pending the result of the labors Of the
peace commission,

the Illinois Steel company and the

that such an amalgamation had

it was likely that such q committee
