The mastering out OF the First Della
ware Regiment becomes more and
more remote in spite OF the efforts Of
the relatives and friends OF the volun-
tecrs. 1t was ANNOUNCED by the War De-
partment yesterday, Washington dis
patches inform us, that there will be
no more troops mustered out. The
situation does not admit OF any further
reduction in the army, and efforts are
being made to put those volunteers
who are retained in the service as near
as possible to the footing OF the regu-
lars in the matter OF drill and disci-
pline. An effort is being made to eradi-
cate the amateursh idea OF independ-
onceamongthe and tobrlng them
down to the strictest discipline. The
purpos eat the outset when the muster
out began was to discharge lOO,0 900 vol
unteers. "A little over $4,000 have al
ready been mustered out, and II is an
nouncd positively that there will be nC
more discharged, no matter what in.
huence is brought to bear. The reten.
ton Of the volunteers now in the ser
vice, and the efforts to improve tbs
morale OF the army, has in view th'
Philippine situation more than that O
Cuba and Porto Rico. though there i
a great deal OF vagueness as to tn.
danger apprehended there.

Washington Sept. s-The Board Of Naval Bureau

torpedoboat destroyers. has almost completed tnat
work. and within Il day or two is expected to re-
port to Acting Secretary Allen plan for distri-
button OF the awards. The work has been dimcuit
because Of the multiplicity OF plans and the orie''
nality displayed by some OF the bidders. The de-
cision arrived at by the Board is to distribute the
craft follows among the bidders

tirely a close consideration Of the bids recently
received for the construction of three baftlesnips
So far the details Of these vessels have been ex-
amined only in n cursory manner. But this super
fetal examination has made II appear that the Sc
lection OF the best lesgns will be much more DIM
cult than was at first supposed. The Bureau chiefs
appear to have wildly different opinions as TO the
merits OF the designs and IL is within the bounds OF
possibility that the Department will decided not 10
make the awards IN accordance with the lowest
bid In such the Newport News bid, the
lowest would be thrown out. and two OF the three
ships would go 10 he Cramps the third going 70
the Union Iron Works one element In the Board
favors rejection OF al the bids and the preparation
OF new plans. but the adoption OF this course
probably would delay the letting Of contracts until

OF the efforts Of the Department 10 secure further
appropriations for ships at the approaching ses'
sion II Is not likely to prevail.
