1t Is a cause for congratulation that
terms of peace were arranged just in time
for the vessels of the navy to get out of
the way of the August storms, some of
which are no doubt now getting about
ready to rip up the Cuban coast and any
thing that lies in their way in that sec
ton. Had the warships been compelled to
remain there considerable damage would
undoubtedly have resulted.

should Look Out for the Volunteers
In view of the conclusion of peace be-
tween Spain and the United States there
appears to be a growing uneasiness on the
part of many Of the officers and men Of

wearying effects Of camp life without the
prospect of active field service. Il may
be said that all of the volunteers enlisted

The volunteers did not go into the sery-
Ice to lead a monotonous camp life They
did not respond merely for the purpose of

TO BE MUSTERED OUT.}
From 10000 to 10000 Voiun-
teers will be Returned to
Their Homes.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2S-The war
department, III view of the assurances
that Il peace treaty will be signed, has
arranged to muster out more troops. 1t
is probable that from 10000 to 10000
volunteers will be mustered out as soon
as selections of regiments can be made.
There has been quite demand for the
return of volunteers from Manila, but no
troops will be brought from the Philip
pines unless they are replaced by others.
Many of the regiments in Manila have
asked, through the governors and Con-
gressmen of their states, to be returned
to the United States. but the war depart
ment has not been able to make any def
mite promises pending the peace negotia-
TONS
With the acceptance of the American
terms by the Spanish commissioners any
further possibilities of renewal of hoStili-
ties with Spain is at an end and the only
necessity now for troops is to garrison
the islands and preserve the peace of our
new possessions. 1t is probable that the
10000 or 10000 men mustered out will
include a large number organized for serv-
ice in Cuba, and the focre at Manila
will be reduced whenever Gen. Otis re-
ports affairs in quiet state in the Philip

questions as, What is the sublimest

DREYFUS IN DESPAIR.
The Captain Writes a Pathetic Letter
to His Family in Paris.

New York, Nov. pa special from
Paris says: Nine. Dreyfus, wife of the
unhappy prisoner on Devils island, is in
bed, extremely i'll, and has been since the
receipt of the recent letter from her hus-
band. She has been so FRUSTRATED in fact
that access to her is denied, and the text
Of the cable message Wnlcn she is said to
have sent to Capt. Dreyfus, a privilege
which the French government has ac-
corded to her, is not obtainable.
Following is the translation of the let
ter from Capt. Dreyfus read to his wife
by the chief clerk of the minister of tho
colonies. the French government having
withheld from her the possession of the
original letter:
Despair is beginning to seize me.
Have all my friends forgotten me? No
one seems to be occupying themselves
with me.
II recall to you that months and

A VALUABLE FIND.
An Immense Sulphur Deposit in
Southern California.

A discovery Of sulphur was recently
made in San Diego county, Cal, which
is likely to prove of great Importance.
The vein is 80 per cent. sulphur, being
about the purest natural sulphur in the
world The vein is 9 feet deep, as shown
by an arroyo which cuts across it. There
is a copper ledge also upon the land which
promises we'll The five claims staked
are seventy-tive miles from San Diego,
forty-eight miles due south Of Salton
fOrty-fve miles from Flowing Wells and
four miles from Coyote Wells. They
are twelve miles within the boundary
Of the United States and twenty-five or
thirty miles north of the Mexican mines,
which have shut down since Uncle Sans
edict was issued declaring sulphur con-
trabaud of war. The claims are located
on a spur of the far east point of the
Laguna mountains, extending on to the
desert.
G. 0. Pearce owner Of the claims, has
sold them to the United States govern
ment The location Of the sulphur claims
came to the notice of a government agent
here, and within tWenty-tOur hours after
the discovery was made kilograms were
pursuing each other between Los Angeles
and Washington, and resulted in the
agents being instructed to contract with
Mr.. Pearce for the property without de-
lay. Mr.. Pearce was instructed not 10
state the figure, but insinuates that the
deal is a big one. He has gone to San
Diego and the mines with the instruc-
tons to get out sulphur as rapidly as pos
sible, pile it up, and await the govern
ment's further orders. The find will be
purchased outright.
The governments action in this case
has in the minds of some. a significant
bee ring upon national issues. Sulphur
makes powder, and powder has to do
with war. At present, by international
law, sulphur is contraband of war. None
OF It can come into the United States
from foreign countries, save in an unre-
fined condition, without being contiscated.
The government has confscated several
foreign cargoes already, and has been
buying great deal of sulphur for it's
powder works. Recently a cargo from
Sicily, billed to private parties in Ven
tura,. was sighted well off Shore visited
by United States officials and brought in
to the government docks. There is at
present only one sulphur mine in the
United States which is being extensively
worked. That is in Louisiana

UNCLE SAM IN CHINA.
Captain Of the Cruiser Boston
Lands His Marines.
TO PROTECT LEGATION
Report Caused Some Uneasiness at
Washington When First
Received.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 26.-The Unit
ed States navy has landed marines in
China. A dispatch was received at the
navy department today stating that the
captain of the Boston had landed his
marine guard at Tien Tsin. The dis
patch was taken Immediately to the white
house by Acting Secretary Allen.
To Protect Legation.
Secretary Hay was called into consul
tation with the result of reassuring the
officials and aflaying their first feeling OF
apprehension. It seems that the marines
were landed, not because of any informa-
ton of rioting or attacks upon American
missionaries, but solely to act as a guard
for the United States legation ut Picking.
The Boston was dispatched to the
mouth of the Peiho river several weeks
ago at the instance of United States Min
lister COnger to provide a guard for the
legation. The minister represented that
nearly all of the legations of the foreign
powers were provided with marine guards
and he did not care to be exceptional in
this case.
After lying at Tangue for a while the
Boston worked her way up the river to
Tien Tsin, about the head of navigation
for vessels Of her class, and distant about
fifty or sixty miles from Picking. 1t is
believed at the navy department that the
marines will be sent forward from that
point in launches or small river boats.
Capt. Frank Wildes, the commander of
the Boston, who reported the landing to
the navy department by cable, did not
state how many men were in the guard
but the force is not believed to exceed
two dozen men. The presence of these
foreign guards is not welcome to the Chi
nese government.
Chinese Don't Like 1t.
When the landing was first proposed,
it's representative sought to dissuade the
United States government from infiict-
ing this humiliation upon it. The effect
was to cause suspension of the eXecu-
ton of the purpose, but as has already
been stated, most &c the European lega-
tons have provided themselves with
guards, and the Chinese having become
reconciled to their presence, no longer OBJ
ject in our case.
Advices that reach the state depart
ment do not indicate an immediate out
break in China. But the reactionary
policy of the Empress Dowager has
caused very uneasy feeling, and may
afford one or more of the European pow
ers, who have been active in Eastern af-
fairs, pretext for making a coup, with
results affecting the interests of the Unit
ed States.
