War Managers Decide to Muster Out
Many Soldiers.
The President has decided to muster
10000 volunteers out Of service. He be-
lieves he will have all the soldiers he
needs without them, and their discharge
now, instead Of a few months hence, will
save several million dollars. The men
who are to be sent home are to be select
ed from those who enlisted under the Sec
ond call and those who have seen service.
None Of the men now In the Philippines
and Porto Rico will be released, for IL
they were others would have to be sent to
take their places.
Later on a good many men will have to
be sent to Cuba. Gen. Lee thinks about
10000 will be needed. Fifteen or twenty
thousand more men should be sent to Ma
Mia to provide against contingencies. But
there are many thousands of volunteers
at Jacksonville and other camps, and in
a comparatively short time the regulars
now at Montauk Point will have regaincd
their health and will be ready t take the
field in the Philippines, il necessary, OF
do garrison duty in Cuba. The military
advisers of the President have assured
him that he will have troops enough to
meet all contingencies even IL he lets 49,.

WANT TO BE ANNEXED.
A Strong Feeling Among spaniardi In
Cuba for Union with III.

"A SsEOuN CSSAtA3 A1uOu8 pdul0fO1 In
Cuba for Union with Us.
A correspondent of the New York Her.
aid who visited Havana since the signing
of peace articles between the United
States and Spain says that the sentiment
of Spaniards in the capital is in favor of
the annexation of Cuba to the United
States. They realize that if II steady and
strong government is not founded it will
be very difficult for them to remain in the
country, representing as they do the
wealthy element. They prefer the idea
Of annexation to any other kind Of rule,
for they believe it would be the only thing
which would guarantee order and the pro-
lection Of NIL kinds Of interests. They
state that IL government established under
any other conditions would not last very
long.
The Cuban element, representing finan.
cinl interests and having social standing.
who have taken no active part in warfare,
have similar ideas and believe also that
any other government which might be es.
tablished in Cubn in which certain radical
clements would participate would precipi-
tate great disturbances and render inn
possible NIL efforts for p%aciticntion by the
Government. Among many OF the plain
people the feeling of annexation is strong.
I'VE want to belong to the United States
and not to the Cubans," many of them
said to the correspondent.

Genes of Horror ON Fever Freighted

The transport Saguranca arrived at
quarantine off New York with 800 Off.
GERS and enlisted men Of the army from
Santiago who are emaciated and broken
with fevers. The tale of the suffering Of
these men since they left Santiago seems
almost incredible. They were shipped in
transports from Cuba ON sick leave with.
out any provision having been made for
medical attention. In that neglected con-
dition they made the trip to Tampa hay
and there they were detained eleven days,
during which neither doctors nor medicine
were sent to their relief. Several died
aboard ship while being Detained ut quar-
antine off Egmont Key. When it seemed
as if death would rid the whole of the
transports Of their bothersome passengers
news of the d%eplorable state of affairs
reached Gen. Coppinger Mt Tampa. He
Immediately ordered that all the sick be
put aboard the Seguranca and sent to New
York. The placing Of the sick aboard the
Seguranca, which had been hastily but
fully supplied with proper food, clear wat
er, medicines and doctors, was in the me-
ture Of q rescue.
