MINIMUM IS REACHED
No More Volunteers Will Be
Mustered Out.
NEEDED IN THE PHILIPPINES
Regular Army Discipline-To I'm
prove the Morale of tho Army.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Tremendous
pressure is still being brought to bear
on the war department to have more
troops mustered out of the service.
Efforts in this direction, however, are
of no avail. It is announced today
with much emphasis that there will be
no more troops mustered out. The
situation does not admit OF any further
reduction in the army, and efforts are
being made to put those volunteers who
are retained in the service as near as
possible on the footing OF the regulars
in the matter Of drill and discipline.
An effort is being made to eradicate the
amateurish idea Of independence among
the troops, and to bring them down to
the strictest discipline. The purpose
at the outset, when the muster out be.
gan. was to muster out 100. 900 volun-
teers. A little over $4,000 have al
ready been mustered out, and it is an.
nounced positively that there will be
no more mustered out, no matter what
influence is brought to bear.
The retention of volunteers now in
the service and the efforts to improve
the morale of the army has in view the
Philippine situation more than that OF
Cuba or Porto Rico, though there is a
great deal of vagueness as to the danger
apprehended there.
