WHEN TROOPS MAY
BE MUSTERED OUT
Call Office, Riggs House,
Washington. Ian. IL.

J Washington, Jan. IL.
/ The Call correspondent In
I quired at the War Depart
I ment to-day whether the stu
I alton in the Philippines was
! likely to postpone the muster
J ing out Of the First California
I and other volunteer regiments.
I Adjutant General Corbin said:
I 1T has been our purpose to
I muster out the volunteer regi-
I ments as rapidly as possible, for
! they were enlisted to serve dur
ing the war with Spain. Strictly
! speaking the war cannot be said
I to have ended until the treaty Of
! peace is ratified, but to all in
I tents and purposes it ceased
I weeks ago. We appreciated the
! fact that the soldiers in the
I Philippines, so far away from
! home, had endured many priva-
tfons and were anxious to give
them preferment. 1t was and is
: yet our intention to muster out
the Philippine volunteers as
J soon as practicable. But you
J can see as well as I that nothing
J definite can be promised. Regu-
lars will leave New York in a
! few days for Manila, and If by
! that time affairs there are tran
gull or comparatively so several
volunteer regiments will be mus
I tered out. They will be relieved
in the order in which they were
assigned to service there. In
this case the First California will
be one Of the first to be dis
charged. This is all 1 can say"

But there must be recoo-
milton OF and obedience to
the sovereignty of the
United States.

General Otis action In appointing
commissioners to meet representatives
of the insurgents is approved in official
circles here. 1t is declared that it does
not necessarily follow that the in
surgents are thereby recognized as
belligerents and that the United States
is treating them as such. The confer
epce was held to impress the natives
with the friendly purpose of the United
States. This policy will be continued
until a satisfactory agreement is
reached, which will mean obedience to
the desires Of the United States or
until the treaty Of peace is ratified.
when a different policy may be put in
force.
The friends of Germany are much in
censed by the report that the Berlin
Government is secretly aiding Aguin-
aldo. 1t is true the attitude of Ger
many several months ago gave rise to
apprehension to the Administration.
but has since given strong indications
of her intentions to be strictly neutral,
and has gone so far as to decline to
permit her consular representatives in
the Philippines to take care of the in
terests of Spanish subjects.
Germany, to quote a gem
tIeman with whom | talked,
is too friendly disposed
toward the United States
to take any untOward
steps regarding the Philip
pines.
1t may be that Aguinaldo is obtaining
foreign support, and the authorities
are looking into the subject. AS soon
as the treaty Of peace is ratified, the
administration will be In a position to
protest to Great Britain or China, in
case any further f1libustering expedi-
lions start from their jurisdiction for
the archipelago.

No Nonsense to Be
Taken From Natives.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Herald's
Washington correspondent sends the
following: Major General Otis cabled
to the War Department to-day that no
change had occurred in the situa-
ton in the Philippines. It is under
stood the authorities have been
told the wishes of the Filipinos respect
ing the future government of the ISL
ands by the representatives of Aguin-
aldo, who conferred yesterday with the
American officers. and careful con-
sideration was given them during the
conference held at the White House
this afternoon by the President and
Secretary of War
What the result Of the conference was
could not be learned, but there is
reason to believe the administration
will not bulge from it's position to es-
tablish peace and order in the islands
The Filipinos are to be impressed with
the goodwill and friendship which the
United States has for them

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1899-05-06

Paddy Whack Flaherty and his
Ottumwa shamrocks were rolled on
the Twelfth street diamond to the
tune of to l yesterday afternoon by
Rock Islands crack team.
1t was pretty game. Both teams
had several errors to their credit,
but these were overcome by brilliant
PLAYS that were scattered throughout
the nine innings.
Callahan pitched beautifully. He
controlled perfectly. The Iowans
were a cinch. They aimed and they
swung and they swiped-some of
them like an old woman beating a car
pet-but the Callahanistic curves
were too deep for them. A peep at
the hits column of the visiting agSre-
CATION will tell in detail how the
Ottumwas fell before the Rock Island
er's twists.
Jakev Weimer, Flaherty's wonder,
had whatever garnet swelling he may
have been suffering fl ON knocked out
of him. His dinkies were easy pick
ing for Sage's sluggers, who touched
him for a total of nine.
Rock Islands first score was secured
this way: Rothermel singled. He
the sphere with a three spot, bringing
Bobby home.
Ottumwa crossed the rubber the
first and last time in the second.
Griffin walked and stole second, and
scored, on an error and safety by
Brown. In the fourth Botenus began
the music for Rock Island, placing n
surety and Bay flew out to center.
Go ssen cut the grass with a long
drive, bringing Botenus into camp.
Chosen was nabbed in attempting
larceny at the second bag. Strickle:t
safed, Blincoe fred a grounder into
center, and Callahan pounded air, re-
firing the side.
In the sixth Chosen singled. Strick-
lett landed for three sacks, scoring
Chosen. Strickletts homed on a hit
by Blincoe. Here's a sweet story:

spirit of fairness toward the
aldermen who have the control of the
council. had he evipced disposition
to meet them half way. his own party
and the people generally would have
admired his course more But the
mayor has invited an issue. He has
forced the aldermen to their coDstitu-
tional rights-and they can be relied
upon 20 stand by them. They are
bound to if they respect their offices
and themselves.
This was practically the same posi-
ton as that taken by the aldermen in
