TROOPS TO RE MusTERED OUT.
WiII Include Six of the Regiments
Now in Southern Camps.

Vow in Southern Camps.
Washington, Dec 28.-It is said at the
war department that no change In plans
as to the mastering out of troops viii
be made as a result of the threatening out
look in the Philippines.
The Secretary of War mas made some
progress in designating the volunteer regi-
nenis 60 be mustered out, but no an
nouncement will be made until the list Is
completed. 1t Is believed, however, that
the list viii include the Thirty-frst Micli-
gan, now at Knoxville, Tenn; the Second
Tennessee at Columbia, S. c.; the Third
Tennessee at Anniston, Ala; the Third
North Carolina (colored) at Macon; the
Sixth Virginia (coored) at Macon, and
tho First West Virginia at Columbus, Ga.
These regiments would constitute a good
part of the volunteers to be mustered out
for the entire number will not run very
high, owing to the purpose to first muster
out the volunteers at Manila and reduce
the regulars down to the number con-
tcmplated by Jaw when the war closed.

Under the Treaty Each Governs

Citizens.
Washington, Dec. 2S.-Immediately upon
the ratification of the peace treaty by the
Senate, the President viii recommend tn
Congress the enactment of legislation look
ing TO the settlement of the claims Of
American citizens for damages sustained
in the Cuba. Porto Rico and other Span
ish possessions which formed the seat OF
war.
These claims to the amount of s26 1000
on this score have already been lodged
with the state department It Is true that
an unknown portion of these are claims
based on depredatons committed by Gu
ban insurgents. for which IL is questioned
whether the Spanish government could be
he'd responsible. on the other hand, IL
is believed that there are many claims for
large amounts that have not yet been pre-
90it'N VWliS 10 inc iHdDlutS OF tne cldlfn-
ants to secure the necessary corroborative
evidence during the Spanish occupation
Of the evacuated territories. because of
the belief that it would be fruitless to
present any claim so long as Spanish SOW
ercignty was maintained.
Now, however by an article IN the
treaty Of Paris, the United States has as
sumed liability for all claims preferred
by It's citi2ens on account of depredatlons
or in fact on any improper score. In its
turn, the Spanish assumed liability for any
claim that might have been made on ac-
count Of Spanish citizens or the Spanish
government itself against the United
States.
What these claims would have amount
to cannot be estimated. None were filed
with the United States government prior
to the declaration OF war but 1t is recalled
that there was much criticism on the part
Of the high Spanish officials of the alleged
failure OF the United States government to
observe the requirements of the neutrality
laws and there was more than one state
ment 10 the effect that The Spanish gov
ernmont intended to present a claim for a
round number of million on that score

Sp0niards Concentrated for heir

an Issue With the Insurgents as to
the Possessions of the Philippine
Islands
Washington. Dec 2S.-A dispatch was
received at the war department from Gen.
Otis to-day informing the officials of the
capture of noilo by the insurgents.
1t appears that the American forces
which were dispatched there arrived too
late, and that the insurgents had added
to the difficulty of the problems already
presented by hosting their flag over the
city. which they have been beseging for
months.
The news was contained in the following
message from Gen. Otis:
Manila, Dec q, 1S9S-Adjutant Cen
eral, Washington: Sent Col Potter on fast
vessel to Iloilo on Dec. q to communicate
with Spanish Gen. Rios. Latter evacuat-
ed evening of oath and Potter thirty-nine
hours late; insurgents took possession of
city ON 26th, and Potter found Aguinaldo's
flag flying. Cannot now report probable
results; will not hear from there for four
days, as no cable communications. Span
insh forces have evacuated all stations
in southern islands, except Zamboanga,
Mindanao. by orders, as they say from
Madrid. Otis"
The evacuation by the Spaniards of all
the Philippine posts, as reported by Gen.
Otis, although doubtless inspired by de-
sire to secure their safety by coneentra~
tion, undoubtedly has done much to COM
plcate the problem already presented 10
the war department, of extending the mill
tary jurisdiction of the United States over
the islands.
An Issue with the Insurgents.
II will now be neeessar. to expedite tha
execution of The original plans and it may
be fully expected that within a week i'm
portaut events viii have happened in the
Philippines. II is presumed that Gen.
Otis will demand the surrender of Iloi.o
into his hands, and this demand may at
once raise the issue between the insur-
gents and our own government of the
possession of the Islands.
The province of Ioilo is set down in the
ofica. directories as having a population
of 472,000 and it is the second sea port in
importance in the Philippine group. It is
located on a river navgable for vessels
of fifteen feet dra1ght SO that very few
of our gungoats would he available 20
assist the troops in case it should be neces-
sary TO take forcibie possession of the
city.
The Spaniards have chosen a strong
place for the concentration of their troops
IN the town of ZambOanga, which as the
reports Indicate here is strongly fortified
and possessed OF considerable natural
strength from a defensive point OF view
1t is not doubted that they will be able
to maintain themselves for an indefinite
period against the insurgents, presumng
that they are not cut off from obtaining
supplies from the sea. The town itself
has a population of q COO Inhabitants
