DISARMAMENT
Associated Press Special Wire

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Orders were
given today for the return to their State
rendezvous OF the following regiments:
The First Illinois Cavalry and the First
Maine Infantry, now at Chickamauga, and
the Second New York Infantry, now at
Fernandina. Fla. These regiments were
mustered into the service of the govern
ment at the outbreak OF the war. and their
return is accepted as conclusive evidence
that they are to be mustered out. The
movement OF these regiments will begin as
soon as the necessary transportation can
be provided. The First Vermont Infantry
Is also under orders to return to its re-
cruiting rendezvous. That regiment is now
at Chickamauga and is under orders to
proceed to Fort Ethan Allen, VT, and left
Camp Thomas today. Similar orders will
be issued from day to day to the other vol
unteer regiments selected for mastering
out. No official information on this sub
1ect Is obtainable at the War Department
In advance OF the issue of the orders. 1t Is
said, however, that the Third Georgia In
fantry, Third Alabama Infantry and First
Maryland Infantry are among the number
already selected for mastering out.
The Plans Outlined
NEW YORK, Aug ia Tribune Wash
ington special says:
Adjutant-General Corbin said in an inter-
view that he was going to muster out be-
tween 5000 and 900 volunteers as soon
as practicable. The selection of regiments
will not be made arbitrarily, but having n
mind, first of all, the reports Of the regular
army officers now with the volunteers,
Grafton. the wishes of the Governors.
as well as of the regiments themselves.
would have careful consideration. Some
interests of the national government. de-
mand the disarmament of troops secured
under the second call, and in other cases
regiments raised under the first call which
have had service. which have been mate-i-
ally reduced in efficiency through sickness,
will be the first to go. 1t will not be feas-
ible to issue an order or to prepare
complete list covering all the forces mus
tered out, for some time at least. On the
contrary, as soon as an agreement is reach
ed regarding any particular regiment Il
will be Immediately sent to the State camp
where II was originally recruited, and as
soon as it's property can be turned over to
the government and its accounts settled
the individual records of its officers and
men will be completed and they win be dis
charged from service under the United
States.
The only mastering out orders issued up
to the present time relate to the First YER
mont Infantry. 1t was originally proposed
that the regiments organized under the
second call which had not left their States
should be Immediately disbanded, and this
will probably be followed out with very
few exceptions.

Cuban OCCUPATION

LONDON, Aug. 20-The Times this
morning says edtorially that 1t foresees
circumstances which may compel the
United States to a permanent occupation
Of Cuba, and adds: IF America is pre-
pared to undertake the responsibility Of
the government of the whole Philippine
group, 1t is hard to see how airy other
power could legltimately interfere. II the
United States repudiates such responsible
ity. a very perilous state Of things might
ensue, because 1t would be easy to dispute
the right of other powers to terminate the
stare of anarchy. Therefore, many diff
culties will be avoided by American annexa-
ton. In any case, no European power need
reckon upon finding the United States as
easy to coerce as Japan"

About Being Resigned.

There are those who call by the name
of Christian resignation what is in re-
atty a most unchristian mental lazi-
ness. We are not creatures of u blind,
cruel fate that is whirlin2 and hurling
us like footballs here and there. Thou
sands of persons sit down in the ashes
and let their neighbors OF public charity
feed and clothe them and theirs when
they ought to bestir themselves and get
food and raiment for themselves.
1t is o the will of any providence
of any kind that human beings should
suffer and starve and be Jumps Of inert.
ness. At tho very time tho resigned
paupers are being fed by charity, public
and private, the prizes of cotton for
clothing was never SO low, while Amer
ica's chief bread grain, corn, is almost
equally cheap.
1t is we'll to put up with, for the time,
that cheerfully, too, evil conditions and
situations that we cannot Immediately
get out of, all the while stcadfastly
resolving that we will find a way out
of them sooner or later. That state
of mind, however, is altogether differ
ent from being willing 10 sit stupidity
down and accept as permanent the un-
pleasant situation. Poverty in particu-
lar is something that no human being
should be resigned to. There is plenty
for all Of us, and there is no virtue,
neither religion, in being resigned to do
without our just share of things.
