Washington, Dec. 21.?The cabinet today discussed the instructions to he sent to Gen. Otis at Manila, which will he promulgated there as a proclamation by the president. These-instructions are similar iu import to those sent to our officers at Santiago upon the occupation of that city hv United States troops. They assure the Filipinos that the United States assumes military control of the Philippines and stands in a spirit of peace aad j friendship and that all civil rights j and privileges that they have 1 ?:n i ^ > ii.iuuiio cnjmcii y> 111 ou cuuunueu and that it is tho purpose of this government to relieve in all possible ways the unjust burdens thev have borne, and asks for the co-operation of all good citizoos in maintaining order to tho end that peace and prosperity may be restored. 80 far a? is practicable all efficient civil officers will be retained in the official positions thev now occupy, and fair aud impartial justice will lie administered to all. It has been decided not to give out the text of tho instructions to Gen. Otis till about the time of their arrival at Manila, which will be a month hence. The instructions also make temporary arrangemets for coasting trade, such as in tho case of Cuba. THE ADDITIONAL MUSTER OUT. The cabinet also decided that existing conditions justified a further reduction of the military forces of the United States and secretary of war was instructed to arrange for the immediate muster out of 50,000 volunteers. Nothing definite has l>een <!ecided at tlx; war department as to tho regim -nis which will he inch; led in ; 50,000 volunteers to he inusiereri out. It is said, however, that thev will he distributed as equitably as possible ;tiiion<; the several States, and in a general way, the first regiment mustered in will lie the first to go out. Pensions For Fx Confederates. Washington, Dec. 20.?Senator Butler, of North Carolina, today gate notice of an amendment he will introduce to tho pension ? I>11'|m i<11mi mil pensioning exronfederate soldiers. The amendment fellows: ' i iifti from and :?ftor (he pas??'" f hi-. liill every pension law now on tie utatnte hooks shall h, ply to e\ery invalid soldier, widow, mi ior child, dependent relative, the army nuisea and all other p<>nsioncrs who may lie aide to prove their claim under the present pension laws without regard to whether said soldier was elistod in 1110 federal or confederate service of the civil war of 1 S<? 1 provided that those enlisted in the confederate service shell not draw any hock pensions prior to the passage of this bill, but their claim tinder existing laws shall begin and become operativo with the passage of this bill." It is not always the man that looks<like a fool that is one. WORK OF INCENl)I ARIES. The Property of Mr. Lanhara in Edgefield Burned. Charleston, S. C., Dec. 21.? The entire property of Mr. Lanham, in the Republican church section of Edgefield county, has just been destroyed by fire. This is near the scene and in the immediate vicinity of the assassination of Mr. Atkinson's wife and the lynching of three negroes charged with the crime. Mr. Lanhani argued with the lynchers and did all hn rnnlil to tVio imnpuno ? w v,,v V^tvwo. It ib almost certain that the tire whs of incendiary origin. If the guilty parties are caught a lynching will follow. Peace Cuts Soldiers Pay. The signing of the treaty of peace will result in a saving to the government in the par of enlisted men alene of between $450, 000 and $500,000 a month, according to War Department figures based on the present strength of the army. The war and peace salaries paid enlisted tnee (first enlisted) are as follows : First sergeants?war par, $30 a month ; peace pay. $25. Sergeant Majors?war, $27.60 ; peace, $23. Duty Sergeants? war 21.60; peace, $18. Corporals?war, $13 ; peace, $15. Privates ? war, $15.60; peace, $13. The amount required to pay the enlisted strength of the urm^ on its present footing each month is about $2,600,000. ] The Greenville News is willing for the United Mates government to aid us taking care of the Confederate dead, hut draw* the line there and objects to help ;u caring for the diving. We shall prob ably not be called to accept or decline help for disabled Confeder ate veterans. If such an oecasior should present itself, however, w? oan see no good reason for draw ing the line just where the Newi locates. What is not honorable for the living should not be thrusl upon the dead. The memory ol the dead Confederate soldier is as sacred as the honor of the 1 iving | veteran. The dead is in less noer j of help than the living; 'little [he'll reck if they'll let him slcej on where" his comrades have laic 1 him. The disabled veterans eoul< very conveniently use a little help, and many of them would not ask whether it is the return of a por i tion of what they and their neigh J bora are paying into the Federa treasury or the pittance contrihu ted directly by their neighbors We ere not sayiag now whethei the general government shook or should not srive help to eithei the liviag or dead, but if it shoulr contribute to both, it won d prob ehly furnish an example without ( parallel in history, and challeng< the admiration of the civilized world.?Chester Lantern.
