FIFTY THOUSAND MORE
MAY BE MUSTERED OUT
But Merritt's Force Will Be Needed
In the Philippines Even After
Peace Is Concluded.

NEW YORK, Aug. zS.-The Washington
correspondent of the Herald telegraphs
Secretary Alger said to-day that there
might yet be $4,000 more volunteer troops
mustered out. He saw no use in keeping
them in the service II they were not need
d. and he implied that there would not be
as many needed for garrison duty as was
at first supposed.
Major General Merritt's force Of 1900

until after the conclusion of peace Sec
rotary AIger seemed to think that at least
that many would be needed there, even
after the treaty of peace.
In accordance with the suggestions OF
General Miles a number of regiments will
be brought back from Porto Rico. and 1t
is not thought that as large a force as
has been anticipated will be sent to Cuba.
Secretary Alger said, moreover, that the
Seventh Army Corps as corps would not
be selected to go to Cuba for garrison
duty When the proper time came those
regiments would be selected which 1t was
thought most wise to select.

GERMAN POLITICIANS
INCLINED TO SHEER
"Good Topic for Dull Season" Is
the Remark of High
Official

BERLIN, Aug. 2S.-The Cars note
was posted in the hotels and cafes this
afternoon and Is generally discussed
rather cynically. A high official of the
War Office observed that 1t would be
a good topic for dull season. If
the conference met there was no doubt
that France would demand the return
of Alsace- Lorraine. All politicians are
inclined to sneer at such q proposal
emanating from Russia. The general
belief is, however, that all the powers
are willing to attend the conference,
in the belief that 1t will prove result
less, looking TO the impossibility Of
agreement.

SIMPLY A SUGGESTION
OF THE BERLIN PRESS
German Government Dsclaims De
sire to Partition the Samoan
Islands

LONDON, Aug 2s.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Times, referring to the
report that Germany had entered into
negotiations with the United States for
partition Of the Samoan Islands, says
that the semi-oficial Marine Politische
correspondent observes;
80 far as we are aware no such pro-
posal has been made to Washington by
the German Government. Proposals to
that effect have been MADE IN the Ger
man nress hut nowhere else, to our
knowledge. The assertion that were Ger
many to come into sovereign possession
of Upolua, the United States would be
solutely absurd, and this applies equally
to any other nation having harbor on
that island"

HOW THE MOVE is
REGARDED IN ROME

ROME, Aug. 2S.-The Cars note has
made profound impression mere. Some
of the newspapers applaud while others
greet the communication with reserve or
distrust.
The belief here is that the Gear first
obtained Austrian and German assent
to the conference. The papers admit
the extraordinary Importance of the
document and pay tribute to the hui
manitarian motives. The Tribuna
thinks that German and Italy will con-
sent, but France will disapprove of her
ally's action.

vocable evidence of the country's grow

MERCHANT MISSING,
Inquiry blade for Thomas Il. Richie
of Woodstock, Va

Inquiry was made of the police yester-
day concerning the whereabouts of Thomas
e. Richie, a merchant at Woodstock, Va.
who is reported missing About two weeks
ago he left his home and went to New York
to buy goods for the fall trade. He had a
considerable amount of money with him,
and it is known that he had between S400
and 500 when he reached this city last
Tuesday and registered at the Howard
House. That night he went to his room at
the hotel, but was not afterward seen.
Just when he left is not known.
W hen request was made of Inspector
Mattingly for his aid he assigned Detective
Heian to the case. This officer learned of
the mars movements at the hotel but
could find nobody who had seen him later
than Tuesday night. 1t was learned that
the missing mans trunk did not reach the
depot here. This caused the belief that he
had had his trunk shipped to some place
other than this city.
1t is believed to be probable that instead
of going home from this city he went to
some summer resort for a few days and
neglected to notify his friends OF his inten-
tions. His whereabouts may be discovered
by the presentation of his trunk check.
