CK AND WOOL INTERESTS OF THE GREAT JUDITH COUNTRY,
DISCHARGE or THE VOLUNTEERS.
Army to Be Put Upon a Peace Basis and
All Volunteers to Be Discharged
as Soon as Possible.

Washington, April 12.-An order
has been prepared ut the war depart
men for the reorganization Of the
army on n peace basis, and it will
probably be issued Immediately. Most
of the general officers of the vOlun-
teer establishments will he mustered
out and radical changes made In the
STAFF departments of the same, in
cluding the discharge of ABOUT 60 pay
masters. With the exception Of Gen
erals Otis, Shafter. Lawton and Mac
Arthur all the volunteer major gen.
erals will be discharged, including
Generals Wade, Wilson, Lee, Wheeler
Bates, Young, ,Chaffee, Anderson, Sum-
ner. Ludlow, Henry and Wood. Of
the above list all but Generals Lee
Wheeler and Wilson hold commits
sions of lower grade III the regular
army, and consequently will not nee.
essarily have to relinquish their pres.
ent commands.
Under its reorganization the army
is entitled to two additional major
generals, and Generals Otis and Shat
ter have been chosen for these ap-
pOintments. Law officers of the gov
ernment are discussing in the light OF
the presidents proclamation, an
nouncing the conclusion of peace, the
question OF mastering out the volun-
teer army. 1t is agreed that the law
will be construed to mean that the
muster out Of the troops shall he
upon order of the executive, and that
necessarily there must be delay of a
month or so in the discharge of the
volunteers.
Meantime they will receive their
pay and allowances. In accordance
with the precedent established at the
close of the civil war few of the
volunteer organizations may be re-
tained i'm the service for some time,
although all those who desire to re-
turn home will be permitted to do so.
The law authorities hold that in
order that the volunteers In the Phil
ippines may remain in service In ac-
cordance with the provisions Of the
army law passed by the last con-
gress, they must re-enlist, not as or
ganizations but az individuals. The
organizations and the individuals
who choose to go with them must be
mustered out in hiscOuntry. Those
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 coun'
try to the Philippines and return
amounting to about $500.
The war department officials have
decided that 1t would be far more de
sirable to take a trained soldier In
the Philippines than to send that sol
der home and return raw recruit
II the applications for discharges arr
any criterion, it IL evident that the
volunteers in the Philippines are not
anxious to remain and will take ad
vantage of the law to demand theil
muster out.
The effect of the proclamation de
claring peace will be felt by the en-
listed men in the regular army to th'
extent OF u reduction OF 20 per cent II
pay.
