Gambia, Isle of Crete, Sept. 15-An aide
de-camp of Dievad Pasha boarded the
British flagship last evening and an
nounced that he had an important COM
munication for the admiral He said that
80 houses from which the British troops
had been fired upon had been demolished
and that 113 of the ringleaders of the dis
turbances had been arrested. He added
that the embassies of the powers at Con-
stantinople had agreed that the prisoners
be tried by an International commission.
This alleged decision of the embassies
does not accord with the demands made
by the British admiral. Gerard Henry

perienced in disarming the Mussulmans.
as 1t encourages them in the belief that
the sultan still influences the embassies of
the powers. 1t is doubtful whether Great
Britain will consent 10 include the out
RACES on the flag and massacre of Chris
tians, which are purely international
questions.
Later 43 of the ringleaders who had been
arrested were delivered to the British ad-
miral, and it was considered possible that
all the terms of the ultimatum would be
complied with.

THEY WILL RESIGN.
General Officers of the Volunteer Army
to he Mustered Out.

Washington. Sept. 15.-The war depart
ment will soon take up the question OF
mastering out a considerable number of
general officers of the volunteer army, in
cluding major generals and brigadiers. now
that the volunteer forces have been re-
duced so largely. All regimental officers
have gone out of service with their re-
spective regiments. but the entire force
of general officers still remains.
The first attention of the department
will be to organize the several corps and
divisions on the basis of the reduced num-
ber OF regiments. and when this is done
general officers will be named as corps
commanders, etc. The reorganization can
be effected with about half the general
officers now in service. so that when the
new assignments are made these officers
remaining unassigned will be mustered
out.
II is believed. however. that with the
close of the war a considerable number
of the higher volunteer officers will sig
Nifty their wish 10 leave the service and
will resign. so that the number which IL
will be necessary TO muster out will be
comparatively small.

that relating to freedom of elections

Republicans by which they are at
tempting to set up a carpetbag gov
eminent in Cuba" the fourth views
with alarm the tendency Of the Ke-
publican party to annex the Phillp-
pine Islands," the fifth approves the
war with Spain; also rejoices--

ioices that the gallantry OF our army

as a party, we are opposed to the ac

trust that the substantial results OF
their triumph will be supplemented
by other adequate acquisitions IN the
Philippine and Ladrone islands TO
compensate for the cost OF the war
with Spain.

The Herald has always endeavored
to be fair and honest with the people.
If the editor had reason to believe
that an individual was other than he
professed to be, he has had the cour-
age to publish the facts. The result
of this course is seen in the constant
growth of Republicanism and equally
constant decay of the opposition
Men who are unworthy of trust have
learned that their proper sphere IS
very near home; that it is unsafe to
launch their craft on the political sea.
