Washington dispatch: No more

unless he asks for them. 1t is believed
at the war department that the 10000
men now there are sufficient to gar
rison Manila and the ground which
the United States for the presnte will
occupy. All of the troops that were
with General Shafter in the Santiago
campaign will be out of Cuba by Fri
day of this week. General Shafter
will accompany the men to Montauk
Point. There will remain at Santiago
five regiments of immunes to do gar
rison duty. 1t is yet possible that a
battery will be sent to Santiago to
take the place of the batteries which
are to be removed. General Miles has
about 5000 men in Porto Rico. They
will be sufficient for the occupation of
the island and perhaps more than are
needed after the Spanish evacuate.

they have been assigned for the pres

Marrow Escape for Burglars.

Sioux CITY, August 19.-Burglars
who blew open a safe at the little
town of Anthem few nights ago had
a narrow escape from destruction. 1t
now develops that ten pounds OF dyna'
mite was stored underneath the safe.
The very thought of what might have
happened to their town makes the res
idents of Anthem shudder when they
think of it. The men blew open the
safe with fuse and powder, and the
shock moved the strong box several
inches on the floor. The dynamite
had been placed under the safe by the
owners of the store for safety, never
thinking that it would be so near fire
The burglars escaped with $3.50 worth
of property and have not been caught;
The explosive has now been removed
inside the town.

WASHINGTON, August 1s.-At mid

nounced his decision to muster out OF
the service from $4,000 to 100000 OF
the volunteers. Those to be discharged
will include three branches of the ser.
vice-infantry. artillery and cavalry.
So far as the interests of the govern

the president, in mastering out the
volunteers, will accommodate himself
to the desires of the men themselves
Within certain obvious limitations,
those troops who want to be mustered
out will be, and those who desire to
continue in the service will be retain
ed, so long as they may be needed. 1t
may be some time before the organiza-
tons to be mustered out will be desig-
mated, but the reduction in the volun-
teer force will be made as soon as
practicable.

Tho great number of suicides lately,
especially among old people, suggests
tho need of doing everything possible
to add to the interest of life and make
n easier for everyone to introduce
cheerfulness into the daily round and
common task" This can best be done
with the young. School chill
dren should be taught plenty
of bright songs, of a kind that
will come back to them in after life and
d;snel gloom. They should be given
an interest in art and music. Espe-
cially they should be educated to love
and cultivate flowers. They should be
taken on summer excursions and
shown the wonders of botany. In ev-
erv conceivable way the beauty of COM
mon things, both in city and country,
should be opened up to the young. II
this were done men and women would
have more to think about than selfish
or family troubles. They would fall
hack upon their mental treasures and
mon all-bountiful nature when gloomy
DAYS came upon them. They would
brood less and would not think Of end
ing their existence. If everybody
would devote their lives more to the
pursuits of happiness than they do
there would be fewer suicides.
