MASTERING OUT THE ARMY.
List of the Regiments TO Be ReIeas
ed Is Withheld

Secretary Alger yesterday made up
list of the regiments which are to be dis
banded within few days, to reduce the
size of the volunteer army. The number
of troops to be mustered out is from
75. 900 to 100000
1t is probable that the list will not be
made public for several days, and the
mastering out will not take place, per-
haps, for three or four weeks. Secre-
tary Alger made statement to this ef-
feca yesterday afternoon.
1t is announced that the reason for not
giving out the list of regiments at this
time is that there may be-some changes
later. II is stated that many regiments
are very anxious TO remain in the service
and others are desirous of being released.
The individual wishes of the regiments
will be consulted as far as possible.
In general, the plan IS that the troops
that saw the hardest service at Santiago
shall be released. These will include,
necessarily, the larger part of the regi-
ments at Montauk Point In addition to
these, the regiments at the State camps,
mostly recruited under the second call,
will be on the list.

STOCK MARKET ACTIVE.
burlington md Quincy Advances
It's Dividend Rate.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE stock market
today continued active and buoyant. Spec
ulative sentiment received a tremendous
impetus through the ac,Ion of the man
agement of the Burlington and Quincy
Company in advancing the dividend rate
from TO a per cent annual basis, and
that stock. along with the other granger
shares, advanced rapidly. The exceed
ingly sharp rise which took place in Bur-
lington and Quincy upon the announce
ment of the advance in the dividend rate
suggested that the ideas current the last
few days that no changes would be made
IN the rate has resulted in the creation of
a considerable short account. An almost
equally rapid and pronounced advance in
st. Paul reflected the turning of specu-
lative interest to that stock, which was
further stimulated by the excellent state
ment of earnings reported by that COM
pany for the second week of August. The
earnings for the second week increased
over $S6, eco and were the largest for the
period in the company's history. The st.
Paufs earnings are the more noteworthy
In that the grain movement in the North
west is in far smaller volume than it was
at this time last year, hence the returns
must reflect a heavier movement of gen.
eral merchandise. Still, the enormous
crops in that section must be moved
sooner or later, and there is enough grain
in the Northwest to keep the railroads
there busy for two years
The volume of business in the days
market was exceedingly heavy, and the
dealings Were remarkably well distrib-
uted. The London quotations for Ameri-
can stocks showed general advances, but
on balance the dealings for foreign ac-
count were again heavily on the selling
side, no less than 5000 shares of various
stocks being disposed of The market
proved Indifferent TO this circumstance,
and showed itself able to absorb without
difficulty the extensive local profit-realiZ-
ing sales. In many cases old outstand
ing short accounts were apparently closed
out, and the process was attended by
some sharp advances, notably in Sugar
Rein ng and the anthracite shares. Aside
from the existence of a probably wearied-
out short interest, there was nothing TO
account for the strength of these stocks.
The dealings in the lower-prieed stocks
were very animated and noteworthy ad-
vances were scored in Ontario and West
ern, Wabash issues, Chicago Great West
ern and Texas and Pacific. There was
very little diminution in activity, and the
market retained its tone of aggressive
strength throughout. though there were
naturally general recessions from the
highest figures of the day in the final
dealings Extraordinary gyrations in To-
bacco toward the close had rather un-
settling effect upon the general market,
as indicating risky technical market con-
ditions.

New York, Aug. 17.-Mayor Van Wyck

GEN. WHEELER GONE AGAIN.
VIII Hasten to Montaul< Point and
Assume Command


Cen Joe Wheeler left the city last night
to take his new command He departed
with his son on the II so train for New
York, and will go to Montauk Point i'm
mediately from there s4
Gen. Wheeler was chosen for the COM
mand of the camp several days ago, but
the announcement to nims yesterday by
Secretary A1ger was an entire surprise
He called at the War Department at 10
o'clock in the morning and had a long
talk with the Secretary of War. During
the interview he received mis- orders. He
was much pleased with his new duties and
told the Secretary so.
Gen. Wheeler went from the War De-
partment with Gen. Corbif to the White
conference with the President. 1t is said
that President Mckinley called Gen
Wheeler TO Washington for the purpose
of having this talk. The President was
particularly anxious to hear the story OF
Santiago from one who knew 1t fully in
all its details. He also desired to know
the present conditions in the new Ameri-
can province.
Gen. Wheeler assured the President
that if the Cubans are treated with di-
plomacy they will cause bat little trouble
Another matter discussed by Gen. Wheel
er was the alleged deficiency in the medi-
cal and commissary departments at San
tlago. He is not disposed to criticise them
so harshly as some others have done In
his opinion, the public generally has not
realized the difficulties under which the
campaign was carried on.
The instructions that President McKin-
ley gave to Gen. Wheeler as 10 the camp
at Montauk Point were that the troops
are TO be given every comfort possible
ana not work them hard in the matter
OF long drills. Gen. Wheeler spoke of
the prospect before his as very pleasant
and said that the troopers would have
as near picnic as military laws viii
allow.

Australia returned from Mania this
morning, having left Cavite July q.
on board the Australia were seven vol
unteer soldiers sent home on account of
sickness, and some of them tell pitiful
tales of hardships experienced on the
journey from San Francisco to the

pany G, FIRST California, INSANITY.
Allen was enlisted from Fruitvllle. He
was locked up in a stateroom. having be-
come violent a few days ago and from
statements he made to other men after
leaving Manila was perfectly rational. His
insanity was due TO the horrors of the
journey from San Francisco.
William Dye, of the Oregon regiment,
stated that ne win never forget the trip
on the Australia TO Manila.
Instead of being treated like men and
soldiers, we were treated like serfs and
slaves. Convicts in prison fare better
than we did. l did not expect luxury, but
what we did get was horrible in the ex-
treme. We had plenty of rovisions on
board, but only got two meals a day
hard-tack, coffee and a beastly mess for
coffee was like bilge water and some
times had cigar butts in it. Drinking
water was measured out daily and it was
bad. Not bit OF ice, not even for the
sick men. but plenty of wine for the Of
ficers.
I'VE complained, but 1t did no good. We
only received orders to keep quiet There
was not a man of the Oregon regiment
who was not half starved, and-just think
OF it-sides of beef were thrown over
board when We left Honolulu
Not a man in the regiment but lost
ten to fifteen pounds on the trip, and
