Special Dispatch to the Age-Herald.
 BY ARCHIBALD W. BUTT

Washington, Aug. 1S.-There Is much over the persistency of Archbishop Ireland to have the Cuban debt sadded on to the Cubans in the settlement of peace One senator who was prominent in bring ing on the war made the charge that CO., 100000 of the Cuban bonds are held by the vatican, and that Ireland is anxious that Bourke Cochran should be made the legal councillor for the commission. In the past few days Ireland has haunted the white house and the war department, being a close political friend of Secretary Aleer, Ireland is one of the greatest political manipulators in the country, and he never1 | visits Washington save as the advisor for the papal interest. Some of the presidents friends are expressing indignation over Ireland's meddling in the peace negotia- tions and are urging the president not to receive him, to avoid as far as possible even the appearance of allowing the willy Afchbisiep to interfere in Cuban affaiys.
 Regiments to-be Mustered Out
 General Corbin said today-that the list of
 
 been completed. and he did not know which were to be disbanded. Owing to the pro- tests which are being made against dis banding, the department will keep secret the regiments which 1t decides to muster out until the official order is published. General Corbin said furher that 1t spoke well for the spirit of the volunteer that he should protest against being mustered out, but that the department could not change its plans to suit the wishes of all who wanted to see active service. The plans are being perfected to muster out 75,0OO instead of OO,OO0, as was originally suggested.
 General Corbin said that wherever regi- ments desired to be mustered out their wishes would be respected. The fear Is expressed today that troops will have to be sent to Cuba simultaneously with the mili- tary commission for the proper protection of the property and lives of the people for whom We went to war. President McKin- ley is opposed to sending any men to the island at present. but he says there is a higher duty than merely looking to the health of our own soldiers. He realizes the greatest danger. For this reason the department may call for volunteers for the early garrison work in Cuba General Cor bin said today that many regiments, es- pectally those in the south, in protesting against being mustered out. accompanied their protests with appeals to be utilized at once for Cuban garrison work, should it be deemed necessary to send men there.
 wheeIers Candidacy
 Considerable interest was aroused here today by a dispatch from Alabama that General Wheeler would make the race for the senate to succeed Senator Nor gan. General Wheeler's intimate friends in the city say that he was sounded upon the senatorial question when here and re- fused to discuss the matter further than to say that he would never ask to be elect ed to the senate against Senator Morgan, whom he regards as the most useful mem- Der of that body. If Morgan voluntarily retires, about which some credence seems to exist Wheeer's friends say that un- doubtedly he would permit his name to be used.
 United States Commissioner c. D. Alex ander of Attalla, against whom charges have been preferred in the department of justice, who has been here the past few days, accompanied by Postmaster J. W. Hughes, of Birmingham. who has interest ed himself in his behalf, has been accord ed a full hearing and the department is satisfied with his representations and the case may be regarded as far as the par ticular charges are concerned as finally disposed of.
 An Alabama and Tennessee wedding took place this afternoon at o'clock in the old Alexandria, Va, Episcopal church in which George Washington and Robert E. Lee worshpped. The parties were Joseph T. McCann, of Nashville. promi- nent young officer of the treasury depart- ment, and Miss Matte Judge, daughter of the late Thomas J. Judge, of Alabama. The wedding was quiet consummation of long attachment between the two. Mir.
