MUSTER OUT OF TROOPS.
AS Nearly as Possible in Proper
ton to Population of States.

WASHINGTON, Sept. THE Presi-
dent to-day sent for Secretary Alger
and AdJutant General Corbin. and also
for list of the volunteer organizations
which have not been mustered out. The
conference lasted an hour. Later in the
day the following was given out at the
War Department.:
In response to the request of the
Governors of some of the States for
the muster out of their entire volun-
teer force, the President replied in SUBJ
stance as follows:
Answering your telegraphic request
for the muster out of your regiments
L have already directed that 100 600
OF the volunteers shall be mustered out
OF the service. This because in nv
judgment that number can be SPARED
About 100000 will remain, as the Gov
eminent now requires in Cuba. Porto
Rico and in the Philippines a larger
army than the regular military estab-
Hshment affords. The muster out. like
the muster in. will be as nearly as pos
sible according to the population of the
several States. The suggestion to mus
Ter out all of the volunteers from Your
state cannot, therefore, be entertained
The Secretary of War has already in
CURED OF the Governors of the several
states what regiments in their iude-
ment can with the least inconvenience
remain in the service. Their advices

General Polavieja Has Issued .
a Manifesto.

MADRID, Sept. General Polavieja,
formerly Captain General of the Phil
ippine Islands, has issued a manifesto, in
which he says that while he was never
politician, he cannot any longer
hearken to the sorrows of my country
without protesting"
The General, asserting that he has re-
ceived numerous calls to place himself
at the head of a neutral party, adds:
The parties which have hitherto gov
erned Spain are rotten, and the princi-
pal cause of the country's troubles"
Therefore, according to General Pol
avieja, political reorganization is alb
solutely necessary "as is also the truth
concerning our finances, SO that the
States creditors may know the meas
ures Spain has proposed in order to
meet her engagements"
In conclusion, General Polavieja adj
vocates the decentralization of the
Government without, however, i'm
pairing national unity"
General Correa, Minister of War, has
prohibited the publication of General
Polavieja's manifesto. The Republic
ans intend to demand open sessions Of
the Cortes, and in the event of the Gov
eminent refusing to agree to this, they
will withdraw.
