Prompt Action on Discharge AppIi-
cations and Such Privilege Has
Been Severely Abused Public
Policy VIII Not Permit the Enter
tainment of Applications From
Men Serving In the Philippines.
Honolulu, Cuba or Porto Rico.
Washington Sept. 19.-The following
statement is given out at the war depart.
ment:
Tho war department is just at present
undergoing an experience which illustrates
the alacrity with which the average
American citizen hastens to his senator or
representative in Congress for aid in emer-
gencies,
''The cessation of hostlities and the irn-
probability of their renewal, with the dull
ness of camp life, has apparently created
a feeling of rest1essness among the men
of the volunteer army, who in the MAJ
jority of cases have given up positions %
larger compensation and many OF them
are imploring their political representa-
lives to obtain their discharges. and the
latter, in turn, are flooding the war de-
partment with requests for prompt and
immediate action.
ITO such an abuse of privilege has this
grown that the war department has been
Obliged to call attention to that paragraphs
of the army regulations which requires
that all communications from eubordinates
to superiors must go through
military channels, and to decline, as a
rule, to entertain applications for dis
charges of enlisted men, unless they come
TO Il in the proper manner.
"A soldier who is desirous of securing
his discharge, and has good and sufficient
reasons upon which to base 1t, will save
himself a great amount of time and trou-
Bile if he win set forth the reasons for his
discharge in a letter addressed TO the adj
jutant general of the army, and hand il
to the captain Of his company, who in turn
is required TO forward It to the colonel OF
the regiment, and the latter to pass 1t along
through brigade, division and corps head
quarters, with their recommen ndatton. I'M
less this is done, the department will send
the paper back to the company commando
er for his recommendation, and that takes
time which may be saved by following the
proper rule.
1.-THE department has also promulgated
another ruling In this connection, which
Is to the effect that public policy will not
permit at this time the consideration OF
application for discharges of men serving
In the Philippine Islands, Honolulu Cuba,
or Porto Rico. The reasons for this are
obvious. Aside from the question of trans
portation involved, the necessity OF sup
plying the places of men who are to be
discharged with others from the states,
II is to be remembered that the war is
not over and that much depends upon the
results of the peace commissioners who
have sailed for Paris

600 of the permanent garrison and il is
the expectation now that they will sail
from the United States about oct. 10.
These troops will be followed quickly by
others until the entire force of 10000 has
been established on the island.
II is not the intention of the administra
ton to await the evacuation of the island
by the Spanish forces before sending
United States troops 10 Cuba The indi-
cations now are that 1t may be several
months before the Cuban commissioners
complete their work. Quite naturally a
number of Spanish troops win remain on
the island until the arrangements for the
REIMBURSEMENT of Spanish sovereignty over
1t has been concluded.
The rainy season in Cuba is nearly at
an end, and the most delightful season of
the year on the island IS about to begin.
During the late fall and winter months the
climate in Cuba Is not only enjoyable
but healthful, and with such care as will
be takne for the health and comfort of
the American forces to be stationed in cuba
officials of the war department have no fear
that serious Illness among the men will
follow the occupation of the island.

ANARCHY GROWING IN CUBA.

Insurgent Band In Western Prov
inces Committing MANY Outrages.
London, Sept. 2O-The Times this morn
ing publishes letter from a Havana cor
respondent in which the writer points out
that, though as IN the mother country,
there appears no disposition among the
Spaniards in Cuba to attempt a pronun-
ciamento, the soldiers and civilians alike
having accepted the disaster and its con-
sequences with a dreary fatalistle calm,
the island is fast drifting into condition
of anarchy.
Insurgent bands. the correspondent says,
are enjoying immunity in the commission
of outrages and plundering, and this is
especially true In the western provinces,
where the insurgents bitterly complain
that they have been ignored and abandon
ed by the United States and being left
utterly destitute can only save them
selves from starvation by rapine. with
out food, medicine and clothing they are
dying like flies, and, unfortunately, il Is
the best elements among the insurgents
that are suffering most severely.
The Times, in'an editorial article draws
attention to the difficulties facing the
Washington government and to the advis-
ability that the peace conference be not
unduly protracted
The correspondent relates terrible stories
of anarchy and says the American govern
ment is apparently attempting to sup
press the truth. AS an instance, he gives
the following story, which he declares
was suppressed by the censor at Key
West:
"A band of insurgents attacked recently
the Provdencla sugar factory near
Guines, one of the richest in Cuba. The
guerilla force, which the proprietor main
t.f 80 fu a.
rival Of the Spanish troops was obliged
to surrender. because the Spanish troops
now do nothing to suppress lawlessness.
The insurgents invaded the enclosure,
where they found a lot Of reconcentrados.
They stripped the women naked and plac-
ing them In line, fired from behind them
at the guerillas, thus making II lmpossi-
BILE for the defenders Of the factory to re-
turn the fire.
The correspondent declares that the most
terrible and irremediable effect Of the pro-
longed civl war In the island Is the al
most total destruction OF the white popu-
lation. which has left Cuba almost as
black as Hayti.

although Archbishop Dozal and other
prominent ecclesiastics strehuously deny
an knowledge of such action and solemnly
ulsclaim personal participation in it,
Strlkes in all 4Austries are becoming
more extensive daiiy, and the labor rques-
tion Is fast growing serious. The Ameri-
cans unwisely continue to pay nearly three
times the usual wages, causing the dis
content to spread rapidly in every class
of workmen.
The strikers naturally drift into the
insurgent ranks and, consequently, labor
disturbances are not discouraged by the
leaders
Inc news from Washington that the
pattleships Oregon and Iowa have been or
dered here and that 6000O tons of coal
would be shipped is interpreted by the
Americans as proof of the intention of
government to hold the Island of Luzon.
The Spanish prisoners are now rigor-
ously confined within the limits of the
walled town. There is much overcrowd-
ing IN the small area, and it Is impossible
IN the crowded quarters, in the absence of
the proper appliances, to improve the pres
ent unsatisfactory sanitary conditions"

GEN. GonDoN's ORDER.
He Announces the Death of the Idol
iEed Daughter.

Reynolds Ga, Sept 1s.-Gen. John B.
Gordon, commanGer-in-chief of the Unit
ed Confederate Veterans, to-day issued
the following order:
ITO the United Confederate Veterans;
The commanding general. with a sorrow
which no words can express. announces
the death of Miss Winnie Davis, the idol
lied Daughter of the Confederacy." The
houndless enthusiasm which was evoked
by her every appearance at our reunions
indicated the depth Of affection and the
unfeigned admiration which all Confeder-
ates felt for her. II is not too much to
say that the ovatons with which she was
everywhere greeted by the ex-solders of
the Southern armies We're such as have
rarely been accorded any woman. Their
grief at her untimely death will be as pro-
found and poignant as their love for her
while living was universal and sincere, and
their most affectionate sympathies are
with the grief-stricken mother.
'The commanding general directs that
the department and division commanders
select delegations and escorts OF honor,
as they may deem proper, to represent
the United Confederate Veterans and to
accompany the remains to their final rest
ing place. BY order of

London, Sept. 2O.-The Hong Kong cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
THE Philippine Congress has favorably
impressed the Europeans who have wit
messed the proceedings, 1t is believed that
its deliberations will result in a petition
to President Mckinley to establish pro-
tectorate. The attitude of the American
army officers toward the insurgents is
causing much unfavorable criticismn

ignorance. of the native character and
their elementary ideas of colonizing. The
officers seemed determined upon winning
glory at the expense of the insurgents by
Matching imaginary revo.ts. Gen. Agui-
naldo has obeyed every order, whether
accompanied by threats or not.
One lnsurgent chief at Pasay declined to
move, and Aguinaldo asked Gen. Otis not
TO proceed against him for four days,
so as to give him an opportunity to inter
view him.
