clustered Out.
Washington, Sept. 17.-The war de-
partment will soon take up the ques-
ton of mastering out a number of
general officers of the volunteer army,
including major generals and briga-
diers, now that the volunteer forces
have been reduced so largely. All
regimental officers have gone out of
service with their respective regi-
ments, but the entire fore for general
officers still remains. The first atten-
ton of the department will be TO re-
organize the several corps and di
visions, on the basis of the reduced
number of regiments, and when this
is done general officers will be named
as corps commanders, division com
nanderS, etc. The reorganization can
be effected with about half of the
general officers now in service, SO that
when the new assignments are made
those officers remaining unassigned
will be mustered out.

GOsCHEN's STATEMENT.
England Will Not be Left Behind
in the Naval Procession.

LONDON, July 22-The eagerly ex-
pected statement of the First Lord of
the Admiralty, George j. Goschen, on
the supplementary naval program, was
made to-day in the House of Com
mons. He reviewed the original pro-
gram, which was considered sufficient
when it was framed before, based upon
a tWo-power system-that the navy OF
Great Britain must be equal to the
combined fleets of any two Powers.
But, in consequence of the action OF
Russia, on the same system, the Gov
ernment was compelled to present
supplementary program, paralleling the
Russian increase of six battleships,
which Russia proposed to begin IN
1898. Only two battleships were taken
in account in the original British pro-
gram, and the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty announced that he now asked
the House to grant four more battle
ships (CheersD
Continuing Mr.. Goschen said: The
Russian program provides for four
cruisers. We propose to build four
(cheers) and also twelve destroyers. 1t
is estimated that the cost of the new
program will be fS.O90.O00, making the
entire expenditure for the new ships
