Mr. Coekiell said that a huge major ity of the oluntt ens wanted to lie must- , ered out and that many of them vvero making sacrifices in lemalnlng In Hid sin vice. On the other hind the oillceis. who weie Uniting the service moro profitable than the privates, had In many cases leftoed to forward appli cations for discharge. Ho thought thnB In such cases the war department: should exeiclse some dlscietlon In tlui Inteiest of the pilvnte, as under the ex isting lilies' no Huldler could be ells chaigi'd until he had fhst seemed tliei endoisement of his company oillceis. Now that It was manifest that tho wai was over, and theie was nothing left for the soldleis to do but lo perform pollco duty, he hoped that the depart ment would be mom lenient with thu enlltcd men. The Spaniards would noon be out ofi Cuba and theie would be no longer any reason lor maintaining a l.u go foicej under arms. The Cubans were- perfect ly capable of maintaining a Republican foi m of government. Spain could noc cede tho Philippines because she did not possess them, and the Pnlted States) did not want troops to fight tho Fili pinos and could not do so without n, declaration of wai. Hepljlng to Mr. Hale he said he had no doubt that the tank and tile of tho army abioad had n great desiio to re turn home, anil he expiesseel th" opin ion that they should be allowed to do so. He atgueel Hint there was no men ace of vvnt unless it was with the Fili pinos and the only danger there wai In our altatklng them, it was trim that the duty devolved upon tho gov ernment ot the Untied States In main taining peace and quiet In Cuba fori the piesent, until tho Cubai-s coil'i es tablish a government of their own.
