at Once.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.--To q number
of interested callers during the day
President Mckinley had occasion to
reiterats his determination to have no
more troops mustered out for the pres
ent. In the course of several inter.
views he stated in substance that it
was the intention Of the administra-
ton to send fresh troops to Porto Rico
to take the place Of the volunteers who
will have to be returned home and who
will be given furloughs. He stated
very firmly that there would be no
general discharges until the situation
"was cleared up."
The president also testified to his ap.
probation of the soldiers from the
South. He said one of the results Of
the war which particularly gratif1ed
him was that it seemed to have effaced
the last vestige Of sectionalism as be.
tween the North and South.
