is a rumor afloat that the 75,000 volunteers under the last call would be mus
tered out, but it seems to have no foundation. Adjutant General Corbin states
j that the strength of the army will not be reduced for several months. It will
be necessary to dispatch re-enforcements to General Merritt and at least 5,000
fresh troops will be sent him in addition to the 20,000 already placed under his
orders. A cablegram has been sent him to return the transports to the United
States immediately for the re-enforeenients. During the negotiations of
peace terms no trouble is anticipated with the Spaniards. There is grave ap
prehension of friction and maybe open conflict with the natives under Aguin-
aldo. , .
In evacuating the islands of the Caribbean sea Spain will be requested to
transport her troops from Puerto Rico at once. As that island has a healthful
climate, it will be immediately occupied by soldiers now operating under Gen
era1 Miles.-
