volunteers stun Needed.

The thought is being thrown out that
peace being in sight, the disbanding of the
volunteers will soon be begun. 1t may be
that no great effort viii be made 10 COM
plete the regiments under the last call for
volunteers, but it is safe to say that it
will be quite long time before the vol
unteers actually in service will be mus
tered out. OF course just as soon as
Spain accepts our terms of peace, an ar
mistce will be agreed upon, and a COM
mission will be appointed to frame a treaty
of peace. 1t would not be wise to muster
out any of the volunteers until the treaty
was completed and accepted by both this
country and Spain. 1t will take several
weeks to shape a treaty, and our Senate
and the Spanish Cortes may be a much
longer time in raufying it.
But even after the treaty has been rat
flied we shall have need of a large army.
We shall need a great many soldiers in
Cuba, a few in Porto Rico, and it may be
many thousands in the Philippines.
II is apparent that there are going to be
some troublesome questions 10 settle in
Cuba, and an army will be needed to as
sist in settling them. We cannot accept
the view of the situation held by the
Cuban insurgents, and they do not seem
inclined to accept our view. Therefore,
10 establish such a government there as
we propose, we may need an army of So
900 or more men. How many we shall need
in the Philippines it is impossible to say
now with anysdegree of certainty. If it
should devolve upon us 20 hold Manila
and the surrounding country we should
have to have an army there much larger
than the one we have there now.
The time therefore, has not yet come
for talking about mastering out any of the
volunteers. They may not see any more
fighting, but they are certain to see
great deal more service. AS a matter of
fact only a few of them have seen any
fighting, much to their disappointment,
but Spain saw enough of them at Santi-
ago to satisfy her that further lighting
was not desirable.

In our dispatches yesterday IL was stated
that an investigation had been begun Of
the reports that there was a shocking
condition Of affairs on some of the ships
which brought fever-stricken and wounded
soldiers from Santiago to New York. If
the reports are weu founded there was not
only Acknowledgement OF the crosses char
acter, but there was indifference to the
welfare ana comfort Of the invalid sol
diers that was almost criminal One OF
The steamers on which the conditions were
said 20 be particularly dreadful was the
Concho. one statement is that the cap
tain OF this ship notified the military au-
thorities at Santiago, those who were act
ing for Gen. Shaftor, that he had accom-
modations for only ffty-eight passengers.
and that ne had no supplies whatever suit
able for sick persons He also stated,
according to his report that the water
in his water. tanks was not fit for the use.
Notwithstanding these statements of the
captain, IT'S feyer-stricken and wounded
soldiers were crowded upon the ship
IL is said that owing to the crowded con-
dition of the ship. the putrid water and
the lack of the kind of food suitable for
invalds, the suffering of the men was
something dreadful. Several of them died
on the trip. One statement that has APP
peared in print is that Gen. Shafter was
told that the ship lacked medical supplies
and suitable food, and chat The water was
bad and the ship overcTowded. He ordered
the ship to sail. however, though it was
apparent that under the most favorable
circumstances there would be much SUI
fering before the ship reached her dest,-
nation.
1t would be unjust, of course, to Gen.
Shafter to assume that this statement is
true. judgment in respect to his respon-
sibility in the matter should be suspended
until he has had an opportunity to be
heard in his own defense. If ne can show
that all was done that could have been
done under the circumstances to make the
invaids comfortable on their homeward
journey, he should do so without delay
And he should assist in placing the re-
sponsibility for not having on the ship
such SUPPLIES as were needed placed
where il belongs. Just now there is a hot
feeling throughout the country against
those, who, by their Incompetence or neg
ligence, made the Concho ship of hor-
rors

our Slang puznled Him.

Edouard Remenyi, the great violinist,
who recently died, used to say that some
of the hardest studying he ever did in
his life began after an experience he had
in Detroit, says the Detroit Free Press
ION my first tour of this country" he
delighted in telling, 81 worked unceasing-
~ to acquire a knowledge of the Ian
guage and got on fairly well. But the
slang that 1 found so prevalent baffled
me more than anything else. 1 gave a
performance in Detroit one night and met
with a reception that warmed my heart
toward her people. Among other things,
this appeared in one of the papers next
morning: Here's an ugly little bow-leg-
ged chap, whose clothes hung loosely
about his ungainly person, waddled to the
footlights. But sakes alive! how he did
play the fiddler
Now 1 couldn't make out what 'sakes
alive meant, so l tinidly approached a
9entlemanly citizen, told him of my ina
bility to grasp the meaning of this slang,
and asked him if the expression was in
tended to be complimentary.
He kindly read it, and replied: We'll,
I should snicker.'
Il was more bewildered than ever, and
from that time on made the study of
slang one of my chief occupations"

It's a pretty rough tale they tell on the
Kentucky man who went to a big banquet
out of the state, says the Louisville
Times. He had been invited to respond
to the toast, Kentucky" and was expect
ed TO glitter and glow. The feast proceed
ed in great shape, one wine following the
other-punch galore-heaven knows what
else-and the gentleman from the state
imbibed with cheerful persistency. His
speech did not come till the close of the
banquet, and finally the POSTMASTER rose
and said: mir. Bluegrass will respond to
the toast Kentucky" He made some
graceful remarks and looked around
Alas MIR. Bluegrass was not visible.
Where's Kentucky?" he demanded of
his fehow-guests. Where is Kentucky"
Kentucky is under the table, was the
reply, and, sure enough, he was reposing
under the mahogany, where not a wave
of trouble rolled across his peaceful
breast

Seeking knowledge.

He was a tourist, notes the Washington
Star He had come to this country for
the purpose of getting some impressions,
and he had refrained from reading even
a guide book; so as TO keep his mind free
from prejudice, he said.
''There are lots of Yankees in this coun-
try, aren't there?" he inquired with the
studied nonchalance of the man who
prides himself on being able to pump peo-
pie without their suspecting it.
Yes" replied Miss Cayenne demurely;
"a great many"
'And there are some Sioux and Arapa-
hoes and Piutes and Philadelphians ?"
ooh, yes. And besides them we have
Apaches, and Baltimoreans, and Califor-
mans, and Wimodaughsis and ever so
many more"
Dear me! I don't see how you remem-
Der their names. l recall reading in a
book on America that there was once a
tribe known as Diggers. Are there any
of them around here"
It's a little early for them yet"
do they have seasons?"
"They haven't materialized very large
ly as yet. But they are about due. It
won't be iong before this war is over
Then the country will become alive to the
necessity of an isthmian canal And
when that happens Wen be a whole ma
ton of Diggers."
He turned away with a wild look in his
eyes. When he found a remote corner he
sat down and in few minutes he had
written all over both his cuffs

Herald. There was a pious man in the

one evening thae in all probability the

When he prayed that night he put special
stress upon the plea that the vessel upon
which himself and his comrades were

Behold, a new Sam Jones has arisen!
He comes out of the West, and his name
is 'Sinkiller" Griffin. His skin is black
but his vocabulary is the red-hottest thing
of Its kind in existence except that of
his white-skinned prototype from Georgia
"Sinkiller' is just now setting the sage
brush of Oklahoma afre with his elo-
quence and smoking OUT the devil Here
is an example of the way ne scorched the
negroes at Guthrie a few nights ago:

foregoing.
