DISBANDING THE ARMY,

The lists prepared by the War De-
partment show that nearly $4,000 vol
unteers have been ordered mustered
out of the service up to date. 1t is be-
leved that 10000 more will be dis
banded, which will leave about 100 900
volunteers and 10000 regulars in the
army.
Arrangements are being made for the
reorganization of the army and the
greater portion of the retained volun-
teers, including the immunes as well as
many of the regulars, will be employed
as armies of occupation at Manila, Porto
Rico, and Cuba until peace is finally de-
clared.
OF the 100000 to be retained, 10000
are in the Philippines. After the mus
tering out roll is completed the troops
will be modified and brigade, division,
and ultimately corps organizations per-
fected.
General Lees corps. the Seventh,
stationed at Jacksonville, will be used
as an army OF occupation, and as it has
been considerably reduced by the mus
tering out of volunteer organizations,
several of the retained regiments will
be added to it and perhaps the corps
number changed.
1t is stated that the army will consist
of but four full corps, with several de-
tached commands, and that the artille
~ and signal corps will be assigned to
special duty. 1t is expected that q
number of volunteer commanders, in
Guiding Gen. Wheeler, will soon retire
from the army.

will undertake to lay her disarma-
ment scheme before the proposed con-
ference in its entirety. The main ques-
ton is likely 10 be how international

plated or whether one will assemble to

THE yellow JOURNALS TO BE
DEALT WITH.

The Times believes that the American
nconle owe more TO that provision Of our
National Constitution which secures them
absolute liberty Of the press than to any,
and even all the other wise provisions Of
that incompatible instrument, free
press keeps all the people at all times
informed Of every phase in the AFFAIRS
that concern them and thus our national
movement is always kept upon the lines
Of our national needs. God be praised
that we have a free and an untrammelled
press. But such press has its inconven-
fences also. Timid public servants are
torrorized by it into doing many things
that they would not do if left 10 the UNI
interrupted exercise Of their coolest judg-
ment
We believe there is to be regular siege
OF the city Of Santiago and we have no
idea that another shot would be fired
there now that the Spanish fleet is de-
stroved IL the administration were not
afraid of the clatter the yellow Jour-
nails" would make should it abandon
further operations there now. In The
Times opinion Santiago IS not worth the
life Of another American soldier ANA j

ultimate objects of the war. We might
tako Santiago. Holguin Manzanillo and
every other outlying city that is guarded

nave made one step towards ending the
war in Cuba WITH Blancos army left IN
possession Of Havana. Upon the con-
trarv if we beseiged Havana and forced
Rlanco to surrender, then the war IN
cuba would be practically over and the
outlying towns would fall as over-ripe
apples drop to the ground
we cannot besiege Havana until the
rainy season Is over because the country
around it is low and our army would
perish from yellow fever. We must drop
that operation therefore, until Novem-
Der. But we can employ the interval to
advantage in taking san Juan and cap
turing an the Spanish soldiers in the
island of Porto Rico and when the rainy
season is ended we should then be ready
10 invest Havana with our army OF a
hundred ana fifty Thousand men and IL

OF course we cannot leave Garcia at
