gram from Washington to-day an
nounccs that the Fourth Virginia
Regiment will be ordered home next
month. Congressman Lamb has been
assured By Secretary Aigcr that this
VIII be done. Tire regiment Will return
to this country in time to avoid the
deadly rainy season.
Secretary Alger docs not say that
the regiment will be mustered OUT, nor
did he Indicate the point to which it
will be ordered. There are no means
OF knowing whether it is the intention
of this department 20 muster out the
regiment at an early date. 1t is not
Improbable that an effort Will be even
tually made TO compel the muster-out
OF the regiment. There is a strong
belief that under the volunteer army
bill volunteers are not legally held in
service since the ratiiicHIIOn OF the
peace treaty.
Officers and men of the Fourth wan;
to come home. In Il reccn; interI lew
win the correspondent OF the DIS
patch Colonel Taylor said that while
there VAS prospect OF the regiments
being needed for nghiing he wished to
remain In eerVice. but thas when this
vanished he wanted everybody Ia Set
down To civil lie. Colonel Taylor sale
that absolute qu.ci prevails in the
island, ana that there is m longer
need OF keeping American volunteers
there. Regulars can do all the work
likely 10 lie required. lie said that
so far ne remaining in the service is
concerned, he did not wish it, and be-
IeNed that rs a rule. officers and men
can MAKE more money at homo.
