Filipinos by the Piesident.
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

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.

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 will result in a saving to
the government in the par of enlisted
men alene of between $450,

strength of the army.

par, $30 a month ; peace pay.

$27.60 ; peace, $23. Duty Sergeants?
war 21.60; peace, $18.
Corporals?war, $13 ; peace, $15.
Privates ? war, $15.60; peace,

the enlisted strength of the urm^

] 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.
