the new possessions. This determination no doubt is due to pressure that have been brought by members of congress for tho mastering out of volunteers from their states and districts. The respon- sibility of furnishing troops for garrison duty for the army is duty generally placed upon congress.
 Recommendations of the president and the war department will be made before tho return of the troops from either Gu ba or Porto Rico, and tho necessities in 1. the case made known Although there has been some pressure for the muster ing out of volunteers since the announce mont is made that the troops could not be spared, the demand continues with sufficient persistence to convince the war officials that q reorganization will be necessary, and somo arrangements will have to be made 10 secure force for garrison service OH the islands and in the states, which will not be subject to the same difficulties experienced in the case Of the volunteers.
 Although the pressure for mastering out tho entire regiments is not so great, the demand for the discharge of indi- viduals has overwhelmed the depart partment. There is not senator or representative, scarcely, who has not presented requests of this kind, and there Is a constant demand for the dis charge of one man or another upon some pretext which would not be deemed val i'd in case of men of the regular army. Personal appeals are made by fathers, mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts. Every man in the department, supposed to have any influence, is sought to se- cure the discharge of enlisted men who have tired of tho life of soldering. Those requests and demands of mastering out have no doubt had their effect Ill mak' ing war officials soc some more satisfae- tory method of army organization for the purposes of which tho army will be needed i'll the future.

 Blouse bodiees to which the skirt is sewed remain the preferred style for little girls Up to the age when the form begins to define itself This sort of corsage has a double adyantage-it allows the body to develop naturally at the same time that it conceals or modi1les the angularity of the growing period, which with some girls ia so painfully awkward

A LACK OF TRANSPORTS.
Shafter Anxious to Get Certain oi
His Troops Out of Cuba.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 10th. via
KINGSTON, JAMAICA, July H.-10:l5 A.
M.-General Shafter has opened cable
Office here and is in communication with
Washington regarding the disposition OF
the Fifth Army Corps. which consists OF
those troops which came with him from
Tampa and the reinforcsments from the
four transports. which have since been
unloaded.
Except the Thrty-third and part OF the
Thirty fourth Michigan, none of the lat
ter have been In action, but re all camp
ed in the same place, and so far as health
considerations go. General Mckiobin
seems to have held the opinion that The
Fifth Corps could join the Porto Rico ex-
petition under General Miles as soon as
Santiago should fall
This was the evident intention when the
invasion army left the United States. but
the condition of the men now, according
to the physicians and commanding OFF,
GERS, is such that the entire corps should
return North at once.
General Miles has cabled that he does
not want and will not need a single man
among them. and he believes that after
their hard campaign they should be given
a rest of at least two or three weeks.
ANXIOUS TO GET AWAY.
General Skaters messages to the same
effect have been most urgent, and the
doctors say the men should be sent into
camp in the mountains Of North Carolina
or Western Maine for a month. Washing
ton agrees to this, and will do everything
possible, the cable dispatches to-day say,
TO carry the army away from here. But
there is a lack Of transports. In addition
to the Porto Rico troops, which will re-
quire forty steamers for their convey.
ance, the authorities here are still coun.
ing upon having to convoy the. 90 900 Span
ish prisoners to Csdiz. The latter want
10 go as soon as possible, and it appears
from here that our government cannot
get sufficient vessels. and this fact holds
the Fifth Corps here. doing nothing. The
men are anxious to get away.
The Cavalry Division has been sent into
the mountains. at its own request to see

The Twenty-fourth Infantry is acting
as guards and as nurses at the hospital
at Juragua, and more OF them are needed.
The colored troops are all likely to re-
main here to attend the sick and hold
Santiago.
General Shafter has cabled TO Washing
ton that 1t Is imperatively necessary that
he should have more immunes sent to him
quickly, and the probability is that n
corps will leave within the next ten days.
All our men are now encamped on the
nghting line, where they have been for
two weeks, except General Wheeler's
men, who have been sent into the hills.
