HOPELESS STRUGGLE OF INFERIOR SPANISH

threw heavier metal and had longer range
than the Spanish: the craftsmanship OF the
United States gunners was much superior

were stronger and In better condition.

WASHINGTON. Aug. ls.-The muster
ing out OF the volunteer army practically
began at the war department today. and
will be continued until the army has been
placed on q basis consistent with our pres
ent relations TO the nations Of the earth.
Orders were prepared today for the mis-
terng out of about 5000 volunteers, In
Guiding twenty-five regiments of infantry
and about eight troops Of cavalry. and five
or six batteries of artillery.
The details OF the order bearing ON this
subject have not yet been fully perfected.
and the officials confine themselves TO gen
eral statements In regard thereto. 1t was
admitted that the First regiment OF Ver-
mont volunteers, attached TO the Third
army corps. encamped at Chickamauga,
had been ordered TO proceed TO Fort Ethan
Allen. Vi. That post is the nearest one
to the homes Of the members Of the regi-
ment, and was selected with a view to
their mastering out soon after they arrive
there.
AdJt. Gen. Corbin said that a similar
course would be followed in the case Of
the other volunteer regiments selected for
mastering out. They would. he said, be
ordered to their state capitals as eoon as
IL could be done without danger to the in
teres,s OF the government. and mustered
out OF the military service as rapidly as
possible.
In response TO a direct inquiry on the
subject. Gen. Corbin said this course will
be followed with the FIRST regiment. Dis
