TO REoRGANlzE THE ARMY.
Effect of the Presidents Peace Prociama-
ton Upon Men IN the Volunteer
EStabIi~hment

Washington, April 14.-Law officers
of the Government are discussing, in
the light of the Presidents proclama-
ton announcing the conclusion of
peace, the question of mastering out
the volunteer army 1t is agreed that
the law will be construed to mean that
the muster out of the troops shall be
upon orders of the President, and that.
necessarily, there must be a delay of
a month or 50 in the discharge of the
volunteers. Meantime they will re-
ceive their pay and allowances.
In accordanc with precedent estab-
lished at the close of the civil war, a
few of the volunteer organizations
may be retained in the service for
some time. although those who desire
to return home will be permitted to
do so. The law authorities hold that
in order that the volunteers in the
Philippines may remain in the service
in accordance with the provisions of
the army law passed by the last Con-
gress. they must re-enlist. not as or
CARNATIONS. but as individuals. The
organizations and the individuals who
choose TO 60 with them must be mus
tered out in this country.
These individual volunteers who re-
enlist in the Philippines will receive
not only the two months extra pay
provided for on their discharge from
the army but also travel pay from
this country to the Philippines and re-
turn amounting TO about $500. The
War officials have decided that it
would be more desirable to take a
trained soldier in the Philippines than
to send that soldier home and return
a raw recruit.
If the applications for discharges
are any criterion. ii is evident that
the volunteers in the Philippines are
not anxious to remain, and will take
advantage of the law to demand their
muster-out The effect of the pro-
clamation declaring peace will be felt
by the enlisted men in the regular
army to the extent of a reduction of
20 per cent. in pay.
An order has been prepared at the
War Department for reorganization
of the army on a peace basis. and 1t
probably will be issued tomorrow.
Most of the general officers of the vol
unteer establishment will be mustered
out and radical changes will be made
in the staff departments. including the
discharge of about sixty Paymasters.
With the exceptions of Gems. Otis.
Shafter Lawton and Macarthur. all
the volunteer Major Generals win be
discharged including Gems. Wade.
Wilson. Lee. Wheeler Bates. Young,
Chaffee, Anderson, Sumner. Ludlow,
Henry and Wood. OF these all but
Gems Wilson. Lee and Wheeler hold
commissions of lower grade in the
regular army. and consequently will
not have to relinquish their present
commands.
Under its reorganization the armv is
entitled to two additional Major Gen
erals. and Gen. Otis and Gen. Shafter
have been choss n f'r these appoint
mentS.

PLOT Against $40 Diners.

existence of an alleged plot in Tam

which was printed in. ink and was
nearly innocent Of all punctuation

Leaving One fer Dead.

Birmingham, Ala, April 14.-After
killing negro and assaulting two Off
GERS while making desperate escapes,
George Waystaff, a negro desperate.
was chased by a posse of white men
near Marion. Ala. He ran up tree
from which he was shot down. Way
staff was arrested last week by Depu-
ty Sheriff Brack Halcroft for killing
another negro, and while being takea
TO the Jail nj Marion turned on and
badly hurt Halcroft and escaped. The
negro was identified while working
in a field near Prairieville, small
settlement n few miles from Marion.

staff and undertook to carry him to
Marion On the way the negro of
fercd resistance and terrific fight

two, the negro soon had the best Of
It, leaving Collins for dead in the road.
The latter succeeded in dragging him
self TO his home, and while half-uncon-
scious told the story Of the assault A
big posse was at once formed, hounds
were secured and it took but a short
time to strike u good trial. The dogs
followed closely by the men. made
good progress, and soon had the muir
derer on the run. To escape an at
tack by the dogs Waystaff went up a
tree He attempted to use pistol
belonging TO Collins, but before he
could fire. he was literally filed with
shot. The body fell to the ground,
where II was left by the posse. Way
