About $1,000 volunteer soldiers are

Not only will this proceeding add
greatly to the expense of the war; but it
is Il confession Of political motives back
of army movements The soldiers should
be sent where they are needed, and
nowhere else. Troops should not be
sent out after the war is virtually over
simply to give some politicians Il chance
to say that they possessed influence
enough to have regiments from their
Sfatcs ordered to the front. The soldiers
themselves were anxious to 90 to the
front when there was need for their
services. but we cannot believe many of
them will feel gratifed ut being ordered
forward in this manner and from such
motives.

Spain Consid erine a Bargain Sale.

MADR1D.-There is under consider
alton plan for the selling OF all the
remaining Spanish islands in Ocean
lea. This will be formulated soon
after the ratification of peace. 1t is
considered by those who advocate this
course that, in view of the great de-
mand for coaling stations in the far
East by all nations, good prices could
be obtained for property of triAing
value under Spanish regime. This
colonial liquidation would include the
Marianos and the Carolines. In GER
tain circles I have even heard that
Spain might possibly part with the
Canaries.

WAsH1NaToN.-The United States
navy has landed marines in China. A
dispatch was received ct the. navy de-
partment Saturday stating that the
captain of the Boston had landed his
marine guard at Tien Tsin, The dis
patch was taken Immediately to the
white house by the acting secretary.
Secretary Hay was called into consul
tation, with the result of reassuring
the officials and allaying their first
feeling of apprehension. 1t seems
that the marines we're landed, not be-
cause of any information of rioting or
attacks on American missionaries, but
solely to act as guard for the United
States legation at Pekin. The Boston
was dispatched to the mouth Of the
Pei Ho river several weeks ago. at the
instance of the United States minister,
Conger, to provide guard for the le.
cation. The minister reported that
nearly all of the legations of the Eu-
ropean powers were provided with ma
rine guards, and he did not care to be
excepted in this case. After lying at
Taku for while, the Boston worked
her way up the river to Tien Tsin,
about the head of navigation for ves-
sells of her class, and distance about
fifty or sixty miles from Pekin. 1t is
believed at the navy department that
the marines will be sent forward from
that point in launches or small river
boats.
The presence of these foreign guards
is not welcome to the Chinese govern
ment When the landing was first
proposed its representative sought to
dissaude the United States govern
ment from inficting this humiliation
upon it. The effect was to cause a
suspension of the execution Of the
purpose, but, as has already been
stated, most of the European legations
have provided themselves with guards,
and the Chinese, having become recon-
ciled to their presence. no longer OBJ
ject in our case.

HAvANA.-Advice from Guines, Hav-

last the officers of the Barbastro bat
tallion of Spanish troops attacked the
Office of the independent newspaper,
La Justica, destroying it. The officers
were looking for the editors of the pa

peared in the journal under the cap
ton of "Adieu," which met with the
censure of the military commander.
Several private residences were at
tackled in tho endeavor to capture the
editors. who fed to Havana.
The Spanish evacuation commission
expects that the evacuation of Havana
will be accomplished by December 10,
but this is generally believed to be
impossible. Nevertheless, since the
commissioners are convinced that it
would be impossible for the troops to
remain until February, q great effort
will be made to complete the evacua-
ton of the island, all Of the army now
desiring to leave Cuba Immediately.
1t is rumored that, owing to the ex-
pected evacuation of the island be-
tween the 5th and 10th of December,

moved to Cienfuegoes, where Gen.
Castellanos will establish his head
quarters.

ARMY REORGANIZAT ION.
House Committee Preparing a Bill to
Relieve Volunteers.

Observation-Disclosures Hull, OF
the House military committee, an
nounced Saturday that his committee
has in preparation q bill increasing the
army to at least 100000 men. Mr.
Hull stated there was q disposition on
the part of some to make the limit
1875, 900, but he believes that, as
finally presented to the house, 1t Will
not carry larger force than 100, oOO.
Of this number 5000 may be natives
of Cuba and Porto Rico, who will be
stationed on these two islands for gar
rison duty.
It is the expectation of Mr.. Hull
that the bill will be ready to report to
the house on the day congress con-
venes, and that it will pass both
houses before the Christmas holidays.
When the president affxes his sig
nature to the bill the volunteers now
in service will be discharged, regiment
by regiment, as the regular army is
recruited. The haste of the commit
tee is due to the objection of the vol
unteers to serving in time Of peace.
