TO BRING BACK VOLUNTEERS
Ships Making; Ready-Expected to BE on
the Way Home-From Philippines
Within Two Months.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-War depart
months the Pacific transport fleet would
be on its way home from Manila with
the last of the volunteer regiments. The
entire Pacific fleet was being over
hauled and proyisiOned for the voyage
to Manila and return. There will be no
delay in the s,iilingof the ships. Of the
fleet OF transports i'll the Pacific the
Sherman, Grant and Sheridan are un-
der orders for Manila, and will carry
regular troops to take the place of the
volunteers.
Secretary Alger had long confer
OF the department regarding arrange
ments for the return of the volunteers.
Nearly every state has requested that
the regiments be returned TO the states
whence they came, as the people want
to see them as organizations instead of
as individuals. Ii these be decided upon
while awaiting muster out they will be
held i'll camp either at San Francisco or
at state camps where these exist.
1t was asserted that the soldiers pre-
ferred to be mustered out at San Fran
cisco, as they then will receive travel
pay TO their homes and can make trans
portation rates that will give them
some extra money. The government,
however, has the option of transport
ing them to the place where it received
them and may decide to follow that
plan if, upon further investigation, it
should be deemed feasible.

THE COPPER MARKET.

Engineering and Mining Journal: The
market continues very firm and consunp-
ton IN this country proceeds at a mar
vicious rate. 1t appears to be on the in
crease. 1t is noteworthy that buyers are
covering their future wants to quite some
extent, and we near of various transact
tons for delivery five and six months
hence. This IS indicative of the confidence
trade has in the maintenance for some
time to come of present values. For
early deliveries copper is growing scarcer
every day: some descriptions in fact we
understand to be quite unobt.nable for
nearby shipments. Lake copper is still
offered at 1Siac. We understand that
some Of the companies have already sold
all they expect to produce during the bal
ance Of the year. In electrOlytlc copper
a good business has been done at 1880
11.35c for cakes, WirebarS and lngots, and
17@17. Toe for c~athodes.
There has been little business done for
shipment for Europe, as the buyers there
are still unwilling to pay the prices which
can be realized here. Our cables report a
good consumption, and it is believed that
stocks of fine copper in the hands of man.
ufacturers are very light. The market for
speculative sorts has again suffered in
consequence Of the political news. as wei
