MASTERING OUT VOLUNTEERS.
Fifth Maryland VIII BE the First to
LenNR the SarYicn


Washington, Aug. o4.-Adjutant Cen
eral Corbn. by order of the president,
today issued an order to muster out
100000 United States volunteers. The
men when they leave the army will
be sent to their own states and to or
near their homes.
The complete list of regiments to be
mustered out has not been made up
yet, because the governors of the states
have been requested to designate the
troops to be discharged. The only gov
error who has answered so far is Gov
ernor Lowndes, of Maryland, who has
requested the Fifth Maryland, U. $. ",
now at Huntsville, be sent back to
Baltimore to be mustered out. The or
der to move this regiment was issued
yesterday and 1t Is likely they will be
the first ones mustered out.
The Rough Riders Will probably be
included in the muster out. No word
has been received from Governor Hast
ings or the governor of New Jersey, but
1t is said that more than half of the
troops of these states will he mustered
out. 1t Is understood that the National
Guards will be given preference in the
mastering out.

Doubts are expressed in naval circles
whether these same fancy" prices will
prevail when the offers to the govern

that some of the contractors will make
good profits at both ends, selling high
and buying low. The naval board will
see, however. that the government is
protected against serious loss.

No Armistice Yet,

Madrid. July 29.-Referring to the
prospects of peace, the Correspondence,
the semi-officlal newspapers, says to-
day:
While the government has asked for
peace without stipulating the prelimi-
nary suspension of hostilities, II is sup
posed an armistice will be declared as
soon as a basis is agreed upon, n
pending a definite settlement. None OF
these bases have yet been submitted,
but among the conditions mentioned is
one relative TO an international confer
ence in London to arrange the future
OF the Philippines. We do not believe
the Americans Will propose such a con-
ference, because they have no interest
in doing so, and could not derive any
benefit therefrom. Neither is the Span
ish government favorable to such a con-
ference, considering that he negotia-
lions which II has opened directly with
the United States are better calculated
to secure a good understanding between
the two countries"
