MUSTERED OUT,
No More Changes Will Be Made in the
Volunteer Army at Present.

| ton of the president to-day an order
was issued mastering out large num-
Der of general staff officers of the vol
unteer army. The officers who have
not been mustered out will be retained
for service under the provisions of the
reorganization law. The general Off
| GERS mustered out to-day are as fol-
| lows: Major General Joseph w. Keifer
| Brigadier Generals Arnold. Alexander
Remington. Snyder, Randall, Sheridan,
Douglas, Boynton, McKibben, Carpen-
| ter and Humphreys.
| The officers named will relieve their
aides and order them to join their regi-
ments. Brigadier General Mckibben
will proceed to Columbia barracks, O.,
| and assume command of that post. The
! other officers, exclusively Of the volun-
teer army, will proceed to their homes.
while those of the permanent establish
ment' will join their regiments. 1t
should be explained that the reduction
| in the list of general officers made by
to-day's order is not sufficient in itself
| TO meet the demands of the existing
| law. There must be a further cut: in
| fact, the list of major generals and bri-
| gad1er generals remaining must be re-
| duced by 10 altogether in order to bring
the list down to the 10 permitted by the
strength of the regular army. In eff
| fecting this reduction, it is the inten-
| ton to reduce some of the major gen.
erals to the rank of brigadier generals
instead of mastering them out of the
| service. Also in the case of some of the
| brigadier generals yet to be dropped, it
| will doubtless be found that instead of
| being mustered out of the United States
| service entirely, some of the officers
who held lower positions in the regular
army will return to their former regi-
mental and staff places. The major
generals who retain their volunteer
commissions at present are Wade,
| Shafter Otis, Wilson, Fitzhugh Les,
| Wheeler. Bates, Young, Lawton. Chat
| fee, Macarthur and Ludlow. The bril-
gadier generals remaining are Frank,
! Williston, Carpenter IL. HI, Davis,
| Schwan, Hall. Hasbrouck, Sanger.
Kline. Gilmore, Wheaton, Earnest,
| King, Grant, H. G.. Otis, Andrews,
Colby, Wood, Ewers. Ovenshine
Hughes, Reeves and Combs. 1t is not
contemplated to make any more
changes in the volunteer general army
and staff officers at present. Under the
law officers mustered out to-day must
be retained until the proclamation of
peace Is issued.
The following list of officers are also
mustered out on the Goth of May, eX.
