DISARMAMENT OF VOLUNTEERS.
No Action Until Notified That the
Treaty Has Been Signed.

1t is said at the War Department that no
action will be taken looking to the disband-
ment of the volunteer army until after Of
fetal notice has been received of the sign
ing of the treaty of peace agreed upon by
the Spanish and American commissions at
Paris. There will be no reduction of the
strength of the army as long as there is
any possibility of a renewal of hostilities.
The War Department will accent the
signing of the treaty as proof positive on
that point, regardless of the fact that the
treaty will still be subject to the action Of
the Spanish cortes and the United States
Senate.
The muster-out of 1On0a volunteers is
an undertaking of great magnitude. In or
der that the interests of the United States
in all of its new possessions shall not be
ieopardiZed, it VIII be the duty of the war
officials to see that the forces now there
are recalled 50 gradually that no possible
danger can result
Under the contemp plated plan the vollIn-
teers now serving in the Philippines, Porto
Rico, Cuba and Hawaii will be recalled to
the United States for muster out just as
soon after the signing of the treaty as suit
able arrangements can be made to replace
them with troops of the regular army but
not before. 1t is estimated that military
protection will be needed in all the outlying
possessions for some time to come.
This is specially the case with the Philip
pines, where the insurgents under Aguinal-
do are manifesting an ugly spirit. 1t is in
unated that they may not take kindly to
the sovereignty of the United States, and
may make bold effort for independence.
The situation there calls for the continued
presence of about 20,Hf3 soldiers.
For Cuba about 5000 troops are regarded
as necessary, and for Porto Rico about J.,
900 making in all an army OF J10oo. only
Il few thousand less than the entire regular
army on its present basis.
In case Congress acts favorabiy upon the
President $ recommendation for an increa Sc
of the army to 10000. there will be about
2C. QUO men available for frontier and other
service in this country. There are now
about $1,000 volunteers in camps in south
crn states, whose services will be no longer
needed after peace has been declared and
the impression prevails that these rnen will
be among the first to be mustered out.
The selection of the troops whose services
can best be spared is now under consider
alton at the War Department No infor-
nation will be made public on the subject
until action has been finally determined
upon.

FUTURE OF PHILIPPINES
Their Disposition and Government Will
Cause Great Controversy.
A Question for the Next Congress-
Prospect of Ratifyin the
Treaty of Peace.

The opinion is very generally expressed
by public men arriving in Washington that
there will be considerable controversy over
the disposition or government of the Phil
ippine Islands, but the question will prob
ably not come up during the approaching
session Of Congress. Senator Teller eX-
pressed the opinion to a Star reporter to-
day that the peace treaty with Spain
would probably. as far it related to the
Philippines. deal only with the cession of
the islands TO the United States by Spain,
and would hardly go into the subject of
method of government or disposition.
Such treaty Of peace he thought would
be ratified during the approaching session
of Congress, but he expressed the opinion
that the next Congress. having to decide
the question of the government of the ISL
tndS, would nave a pretty lively cOnten-
tiOn over the matter.
Similar views of the situation have been
expressed in one form and another by a
great many men in Congress, and there is
d wide divergence of opinion as to how far
IN" Constitution would stand in the way OF
giving federal government to the islands
which would exclude them from the cunsti-
tutional prohibition of discrimination as
To duties, etc. between the several states.
Senator Foraker and Representative Hep
burn both contend that this provision of
the Constitution does not necessarily apply
to territory which comes into the possess
sun VI NIt HIteu states, ana tnat the ISL
ands need not be treated as a part of the
L Mon in the matter of tariff laws etc.
ii Is said that the treaty presented to
the Serate for ratification should contain
any clause which would affect the question
of method OF government or provide in
advance for an open door policy as it is
understood in reference to the oriental
country there would be Il hard fight over
the ratification of the treaty, and it might
not be possible to dispose of the question
at this session.
1t is thought, however. that the treaty
will not be complicated by an attempt 70
fix a policy of dealing with the islands, and
that il will be promptly ratified.
