LONDON, Aug. 23.-Henry Labouchere, in
Truth, says that a large standing army
would be necessary if the United States
we're to embark on a spirited foreign policy
of annexation. This army" he declares
would soon crush out democracy at home
and in the end some popular general would
feel it his duty to save society by making
himself such President as the Constitution
never contemplated. The old world he
continues, lin it's dealings with the new as
srmes an attitude of condescension as ridic-
ulous as it is unwarranted. One of the sa-
lient features of the late war was the man
ly honest, generous and chivalrous conduct
of the United States government, forces and
people from the beginning to the end of the
campaign. 1t is only just to express the
general feeling of admiration which the new
chivalry has created throughout Europe"

kins, of Company K, misunderstanding
ty-eighth Indiana, have just reached home
on sick leave. They report the hospital
overcharged with SICK and say, not in a
complaining way. but as matter of fact,
that the physicians and nurses are made
quate in number for SO great an under
taking. All suffer alike from lack of at
tention. Company K has suffered less than
others from sickness, and yet but little
more than a fourth of them is able for
active service.

COLON, Colombia, via Galveston, Tex,
Aug. 2S-Mr. r. c. Ward, the civil engineer
and railway expert, whose opinion is backed
by an extensive personal knowledge of local
canal matters, contributes series of arti-
cles to the Panama Star and Herald on the
future of the Panama canal. He recognizes
that the present moment is critical in the
anairs or the canal company, and suggests
that definite businesslike proposition be
made, looking to American participation in
the completion and ownership of the canal"
Mr. Ward does not believe the canal will
ever be. completed without American assist
ance, and he strongly advocates canal
along the Panama route, as against the Mic
araguan canal project.

ters of the -hundred-and-fifty- eighth
Indiana Volunteers. Aug. 2O.-To-day is
Sunday and the men of this regiment see
ahead of them the long-looked-for move
AS any change is welcome, the boys are
in a happier frame of mind. To-day Gen.
Mckee, with his division staff, took TIE
train. Major Charlton and Major Baguley,
of the hospital. went with him. Lieut.. w. B.
Poland, of the regiment, went with him as
engineering officer and will have charge of
the laying out of the new camp. A de-
tachment of about one hundred men from
the observation-disclosures -ffty-eighth went on
the same train and will do the advance
work for this regiment. With General Nc
KEGS staff went also DR.. Harry S. Moore
of Indianapolis. who is clerk to Major
Hysel, the division surgeon. With this
train also went the First Brigade under
command of General Rowe. This brigade
is composed of the Thirty-firss Michigan
and the First Georgia. The troops will
march to Rossville. distance of about six
miles, and will then take the train for
Knoxville, going over the Chattanooga
Southern. All the sick in the regiment have
been sent home on thirty days furlough
except few, and the furloughs for them
are being given as fast as possible.
1t is the expectation that this regiment
will be free from any sick when it marches
out. DR.. Jones is now in charge of the
Second Division, and will have charge Of
the moving of the sick. if there be any, and
also of the moving of the hospital, and will
be in charge of the ambulance and hospital
train. So far about 265 patients have been
sent out of this hospital and there will be
about sixty-five patients sent to Sternberg
Hospital Monday. The tents will be taken
down and not a. trace of the Second Divi-
sion Hospital will be left To-day all the
tents of this divisions headquarters were
taken down, and where they stood is now
an empty space.
Last Saturday was field day. All drills
were declared off and only the regular po-
lice work was performed. Inspection was
held in all regiments in the morning, in
stead of the afternoon. The noon mess
was at an early hour, and everybody, ex-
cept guards and prisoners. were allowed to
attend the meet. The scene reminded one
very much of a Western army post There
We're soldiers galore, officers in various uni
forms. and the wild West rough riders from
Arizona. These men, riding their horses
at a gallop and performing their feats of
horsemanship at the same time yelling like
Indians, made the scene very realistic.
With this there was running, jumping, hur-
die racing, wrestling and a general mixture
of sports. The One-hundred- fifty
eighth was not fortunate enough to carry
off any prizes. II. l. j.

some time ago by advocating anti-American

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.--It is expected
that the order for the mastering out of 1O0,-
900 men of the volunteer force will be issued
tomorrow The list of troops to be mus
tered out is nearly complete but some
changes no doubt will be made before the
order is finally signed. This will reduce
materially the number of troops in the diff
ferent camps. Senator Hansbrough, of
North Dakota, had a conference with the
President to-day in behalf of Grigsby's s
Rough Riders, who are anxious to be kept
in service and sent to either Cuba or Porto
Rico. The senator learned tnaI 1t has been
decided to muster out all of the volunteer
cavalry, but that it may be possible for cav
alrymen wishing to remain in service to be
dismounted and kept as infantrymen.
The Third Corps, which has been COM
manded by General Wade, has been ordered
from Chickamauga to Huntsville, Ala. One
regiment will be retained at Chickamauga
under General Boynton. The following or

Corbin:

Catholics in West Indies May Be At

WASHINGTON, Aug 23.-Among those
occupying high official positions with the
Catholic Church it is said that the ANAL
gamation of the Catholic communities of
Cuba, Porto Rico and other Spanish col
onies presents no serious difficulties. The
first requisite, it is pointed out, is to term-
nate the concordat by which Spain and
the Vatican Jointly conduct the church ad-
ministration of these colonies. The con-
cordat is formal agreement somewhat
like treaty, by which the Spanish gov
ernment and the Vatican carry on rela-
tions of mutual advantage. Under the con-
cordat the Spanish government names the
bishops to be appointed in the Spanish col
onies, and these names, being sent to Rome,
are formally appointed by the Pontiff. With
