THEY ENLISTED 70 Fight.
Garrison Duty is Becoming Distaste-
full to Many Of Uncle Sans
Volunteers.
PROBLEM FOR CONGRESS TO CONSIDER.
Army on Lines Suggested bv Present
Conditions Has Received the Considera-
tion of the President and VIII Have to
be Met by Congress.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The request of
the First Colorado infantry to be re-
turned from Manila to the United
States can not be granted by the war
department. 1t was stated by officers
of the army that such requests had
been frequent from soldiers of volun-
teer organizations who enlisted to
fight, but did not enlist for garrison
duty. The desire of this regiment to
return home was simply the desire of
other volunteers, and nothing could be
done, the officer said, until congress
met and provided some kind of force
TO take the place of the volunteers.
Reorganization of the Army.
The subject of recognizing the
army with a view to securing an ade-
quate force for the new possessions of
the United States has already received
the serious consideration of the presi-
dent, the secretary of war and officers
of the army. The president will make
recommendations to congress on this
subject embodying his views and the
views of those who are in position to
give him the very best advice. 1t is
probable that he will recommend an
increase of the army to something
like 100000 men, although this is not
certain, and he may think that $4,000
Is enough.
Talk of Enlisting Natives.
There has been some talk, also, OF
enlisting for garrison duty two COM
panies or battalion of natives to each
regiment to do garrison duty in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines. 1t is
believed by this method considerable
portion of the restless population of
the islands, and especially those who
have been bearing arms in the insur-
gent 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 can not be salts
factory to volunteers, and that an
army will have to be provided which
will go where it is sent without COM
plants of any kind.
The Future Understanding In the Army.
Men who enlist in the regular army
hereafter 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. 1t is
believed the demands which have been
made upon senators and representa-
tives for the muster out of volunteer
regiments and the discharge of volun-
teers in regiments which have re-
manned in the service has been so great
that they will be convinced that reg
ular army for garrison duty in the
new possessions is an absolute neces-
sity.

u prospector named Botleau on the
Ashcroft-Glenora trail has been re-

murderer is variously known as T.
Wilson, McGregor and McGraw The
killing was the elimination of several
weeks of quarreling, induced by priva-
ton and disappointment on the DESC
late trail. The news reached Glenora
October 10, and Wilson was believed to
have passed there five days before He
has not yet reached Wrangel. and it is
hoped to effect his arrest there.

WHY We WILL HOLD THEM.
The United States Must be REIN
bursed for the Wars Cost,
Present and Prospective.
THAT'S WHY WE HOLD THE PHILIPPINES.
The Idea of the United States Has Not Been
and Is Not to Acquire Any Territory by
the Power of Conquest, But She Must
Have Collateral Sufficient to Balance
Accounts.

washington, Nov. 2.-While the cab
met gave little attention to the peace
negotiations at Paris, there is no long
er any doubt as to the general pur-
poses of this government to retain the
entire Philippine archipelago. If, af-
ter final balancing of the account, viz:
The cost of war to the United States
on one side, and our acquisitions on
the other, it is found that any COM
pensation is due the Spaniards, It will
be made in q lump sum.
states When the Protocol was signed.
1t is pointed out that ut the time the
protocol was signed the United States
did not have and had not since ac-
CURED any part of the Philippine is
lands outside of Manila harbor, and
that the United States has never en-
tertained purpose to acquire any ter
ritory by the power of conquest. What
the United States will insist upon is
that she must be fully reimbursed for
every dollar expended by her on ac-
count of the war, and in the statement
will be included an amount sufficient
to cover all payments, present and
prospective, on account of pensions in
cidental to the war.
No Spanish Bonds Will be Paid.
No Spanish bonds of any character
or amount, other than local or NUM-
cipal bonds, will be paid or assumed
by this government. The question of
the status of municipal obligations un-
air pi cta,, H. ~.
fully settled by international law.
They must be recognized as valid and
binding by the conquering power, and
hence it is assumed that the United
States will not raise any question on
this point, but promptly consent to
guarantee their final payment. What
sum of money this government would
consent to pay to Spain can not even
be estimated, but when the final ac-
count is rendered, it is believed that
the balance due Spain Will be small.
probably not exceeding $25 200, 900 or
$30,0o0,000.
Belief that Spain VIII Accept Our Terms
The belief still prevails among the
majority of the cabinet that the Span
iards will accept the terms laid down
by the United States, and that what
ever delay occurs before that result
is reached, will be chargeable only to
the purpose of the Spaniards to Sc
cure the best possible terms; to extort
the last possible million dollars, be-
fore acceding to our demands.
The possibility of disbursement Of
the commission and the failure of the
conference, however, is now contem-
plated with greater equanimity than
at an earlier stage of the negotiations.
The administration has satisfied itself
that Spain is neither able nor willing
to resume hostilities on any scale that
would make her dangerous opponent
to the United States.
