Washington, March S.-Orders were
issued at the War Department today
for the Twelfth New York volunteer
infantry now at Matanzas, Cuba, to
take passage on the transport Berlin 1or
New York city, where it will be mus
tered ont. This is the beginning of a
general movement for the muster out
of all the volunteers stationed III Cuba,
and indicates that the Administration
believes that the time has come when
II can safely reduce its military forces
in Cuba.
The ract that the rainy season Is not
far off is a potent reason for the early
recall of the volunteer troops there.
The homeward movement will have to
be gradual because of the limited trans
portaton facilities now at the disposal
of the War Department.
There are now about $4,000 volun-
teers in Cuba. and their withdrawal
will leave $4,000 regular troops
there for the enforcement of the
policy of the Administration for the es-
tablishment of a stable government on
the island.
The volunteer troops now on garrison
duty in Cuba and under muster-out or
ders include the following regiments:
Second Illinois, One Hundred and
Sixtieth Indiana. Fourth Illinois. Hun
dred and Sixty-6rst Indiana, Ninth IL
linois. Forty-ninth Iowa. Third Ken
tucky. Thirty-first Michigan, Second
Louisiana, Sixth Missouri. Eighth Mas
sachusetts. Twelfth New York, First
North Carolina. Third Nebraska, Sec
Fourth Virginia, First Texas. Sixth
Ohio. Second and Third United States
volunteer engineers, Second and Fifth
United States volunteer infantry and
the Second and Third. Eleventh.
Twelfth. Thirteenth, Fifteenth. Six
teenth and Seventeenth companies OF
the Signal Corps.
As yet no orders have been issued
for the muster out of these regiments
with the exception OF the Twelfth New
York. but if is expected that the formal
orders viii be issued in the case of all
the organizations named within the
next few days. Under the present plans
OF the Department. it is expected that
all of the volunteer troops will be with
drawn from Cuba before the first of
May. and so escape the dangers of the
feyers which make that country such
an undesirable place of residence dur
ing the summer months.
The officials of the Administration
express satisfaction at the present po-
litical state of affairs in Cuba and are
confident of continuance of the pre-
vailing peace and good order.
The troops are to be withdrawn
on the theory that there is no
longer need of. their services in that
country. and that the questions of gov
ernment will work out themselves with,
out the presence of a large military
force. Consequently there is no present
purpose of replacing the volunteers with
regular troops, and such a course of
action will be taken only in case it be-
comes necessary for the execution of the
administrative policy.

that the Filipinos started the fighting

which could have happened, as if the
Americans gave the Filipinos a thorough
good drubbing now they would have
peace for the next fifty years. American

SHAMEFUL INDIGNITIES.
Treatment of Two Men of Standing AZ
rested in New Orleans.

Washington, March S.-The Secretary
of the Treasury has received from Sup
erintendent Pritchett. of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, a strong protest against
the arrest of two officials of his Depart
ment at New Orleans during the Mardi
Gras festivities in February last.
1t appears from Mr.. Pritchett's letter
that Mr.. Phelps and Mr.. Frisby. aids IN
the Coast and Geodetic Survey, both
men of high standing and character,
were arrested and taken to prison on the
charge of being pickpockets. They were
refused permission to communicate with
friends and were subjected to shameful
indignities. The cell into which they
were put is said to have been vile beyond
description; they were compelled to
spend the night in company with low
criminals, and were subject to kicks and
blows from the guards and We're treated
in most inhuman and outrageous man
ner.
Superintendent Pritchett says that
these gentlemen have right to look
to the Department for protection. and
therefore he asks that the matter be
brought to the attention of the United
States District Attorney ut New Or
leans, and that a demand be made for
the dismissal of the officials concerned.
Mr.. Frisby and Mr.. Phelps are on duty
on the schooner Quick Secretary
Gage has not yet taken any action, but
it is likely that the matter will be in
vestigated.
