CINCINNATI, Ohio, Aug. 16 1s9S.-Mrs.
j. J. Gest, of this city, who has made
a tour of inspection of the army camps
of the South, under the auspices of the
Army and Navy League of Cincinnati for
the purpose of ascertaining the wants of
the troops in the way Of hospital sup
plies, has just returned from a three
weeks inspection. While commissioned
especially to look after Ohio regiments,
she extended her observations through
the camps of other troops.
She reports an immediate and crying
need in the camp of the famous Sixty
ninth Regiment of New York, now at
Fernandina, Fla Mrs. Gest found that
regiment entirely destitute of hospital
tents and with not one-half enough med
their own tents, which are without floors,
and fever patients have the earth for
their bed. The sick men have no cloth
ing but their uniform.
There are, she reports, no sheets, cots,
shirts, tubs nor towels and an absolute
lack of the most ordinary appliances for
the sick. The only fund for the purchase
of milk, ice and other things for the
sick is, she adds, derived from the prof
its of the regimental canteen. Mrs. Gest
says the location of the camp is delight
full and is sure the suffering from sick
ness will be greatly reduced as soon as
the urgent needs of the soldiers can be
supplied
Mrs. Gest has accomplished much good
by ascertaining the wants of the various
regiments and reporting them to the
League, which has acted promptly upon
her suggestions. The Ohio soldiers in this
way have received prompt relief. Her
sympathies were aroused by her sobserv-
alton of the destitation of the gallant
sixty-ninth, New York, but the funds at
her disposal were for the Ohio troops
She hopes by making their wants known
to find way for their relief.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS, 1S9S.-An order
will be issued today by the Cabinet mus
tering out of service about $4,000 of the
volunteer forces.
The troops to be mustered out will in
clude all the volunteer cavalry and the
volunteer artillery in the United States
at the present time and large number of
infantry regiments. The whole number
mas not yet been determined.
The mastering out order possibly may
be delayed until diespatches are received
from General Merritt respecting the con-
d5tions at Manila. Dispatches are ex-
pected from the General at almost any
hour.
The President today appointed the two
commissions to adjust the evacuation Of
clba and Porto Rico. They follow
For Cuba-Major General James T.
Wade, Rear Admiral William t. samp-
son, Major General Matthew C. Butler.
For Porto Rico-Major General John R.

Brigadier General William w. Gordon.
General William ". Gordon, one of the.
commissioners for Porto Rico and the
only one of the six appointees to the two
commissions who Is not widely known, is
a well known citizen of Savannah, Ga.
He is the senior colonel of the Georgia
State Militia and served in the ranks Of
the Confederate army He is sixty
years old He belongs to one of the
wealthiest families of the State and is
conspicuous socially there. He was
largely indorsed in the State for brigadier

partment of Porto Rico and will be com
manded by Major General John R.
Brooke now ith the army Of occupation
in that territory
The government of the Island of Cuba
and the management of its cities and
pgrts is one of the serious questions
which the administration is now consider
ing. There is no difficulty regarding the
territory already occupied by the United
States forces for arrangements regarding
tariffs. the collection of duties and the
marag gement of affairs is easily deter
mined.
But the government of the other por-
tions Of the island from now until the
Spanish evacuation is a, more serious
problem. IT is believed that the customs
and Jaws of Spain must continue until the
occupation by the United States takes
place; that Spain will collect the customs
dues and manage the ports for the
present. But that is not the only
difficulty. The resignation Of General
may be the forerunner of resigna-
tlons of other officers and perhaps
disturbances in the Spanish army: More
difficulties viii attend tho government of
Cuba curing the interim than anything
else that has been presented so far, and It
was one Of the leading topics under con-
sideration by the Cabinet at its melting
