THE ARMY AND NAVY
Getting Back to a Peace
Footing.
BIG INCREASE IN STANDING ARMY.
WIZ Probably 30 Kept Up 60 One HHn-
dred Thousand Hundred Thor
sand Volunteers 20 BE Mustered
Out Immediately.

WAsIIINGTON, Aug 15.-since Sec
retary OF State Day and EmDassador
Cambon signed the peace protocol on
Friday there has been the most re-
markable change in the war and navy
departments
An official Of the war department
stated yesterday that before September
at least 900 volunteers viii have
been mustered out OF the service Of the
United States. The remainder of the
army, as II Is now organized will have
TO be retained in the service Of the
government for several months. Troops
win be sent to Cuba in large numbers;
troops viii be retained in Porto Rico,
and for some time the army win neces-
sarily remain in the Philippines. The
regular army viii remain upon a wer
footing for many months, and, In fact,
the chances are the size of the regu-
lar army win never be reduced to the
old minimum, but rather viii be in
creased
Chairman Hull Of the house commit
tee ON military affairs says that every
effort win be made by his committee TO
keep q large standing army. To is his
opinion that the army win never again
fan below 10000 men and might poGsi-
bly, be kept as large as 100000 men.
with the expansion of territory under
the sovereignty OF the United States It
necessarily follows that both the army
and navy must grow in dimensions.
The secretary of war rs assigning the
regiments mustered under the second
call to corps. They are being ordered
from their state rendezvous 20 the va
rlous army camps. These regiments or
ganlzed under the second coll were on
Saturday ordered to their camps as des-
iRnatedl
The Second West Virginia TO Middle
town, Pa. Second corps.
The First Delaware to Middletown,
Pa. Second corps.
The Tenth Ohio. from Columbus. to
Middletown Pa, Second corps.
The secretary's purpose In sending
these troops out of their states is not
understood by army officials. They will
undoubtedly be among the first troops
mustered out OF service and for this
purpose will be sent back TO their va
rious states IL simply means additional
expenditure for the government for the
transportation.
AS yet nothing has been heard IN
Washington from either Admiral Dewey
or General Merritt. Whether or not
there has been an unnecessary loss of
life In the Philippines has yet to be
learned.
Considering the fact that both OF the
American commanders in the Philip
pines had been informed by the govern.
ment that peace was near az hand. tn,
officials of the administration hope fol
the best.
Camp Alger, In Virginia. Is TO be Who'll
~ abandoned this week. All Of In,
troops now stationed at Camp Algel
viii begin immediate preparation foi
leaving. They are TO march TO Middle.
town, Pa. The troops which left Camr

Spaniards massed in strong defenses

Light Battery = of Pennsylvania had
been ordered into position TO begin the
engagement. The guns of the first sec

had been unlimbered. A shell had been
placed in the chamber.
A Pennsylvania stood ready to fire.
Suddenly there was a shout from the
rear. Two men on horseback dashed
into view, frantically waving their
arms. The horsemen were Signal Lieu
tenant Mclaughlin and an orderly.
They had ridden hard from the end OF
the military wire that was built in the
field To General Brooke's headquarters.
The order TO commence firing had
been given when the lieutenant and or

The Pennsylvanians. officers and mon.
howled with disgust. and when the
lieutenant delivered General Brooke's
order that they should return to the
camp at Guayama they sullenly wheel
ed the guns about and went grumbling
to the rear.
The position Of these men was superb.
Brooke had thrown out three strong
columns to the left of Guayama. His
plan was to shell and rush his way to
Cayey, where he was TO form a juno
