Oae More Failure to Muster. THE SECOND REGIMENT DOOMED TO FAILURE UNLESS THE RULES AS TO MUSTER? ING IN ARE RELAXED Greenville. Joly 28.-The waster? ing in of Capt W. A Hunt's com pany failed to day. At the bonr ap pointed for mustering, 10 o'clock this morning. Capt H ont bad seventy* aeren men ready in the Butler Guards' armory A telegram was received from Capt Fuller that he would arrive on the vestibule train. He got here at 1 o'clock, and appointed 2 30 for mustering At that time forty nine men were presect, the others having gotten impatient and straggled off. Capt Faller suggested that Capt. Hunt take the forty-nine to Colombia and go into camp He informed the men that they could not select their oScers until seventy-five were mus? tered On this statement tqe com pany declined to go to Colombia and disbanded Capt Fuller will go to Washington to-morrow to confer with the war department regarding modi? fication of strict roles governing mus tering in of companies Uncle Sam's Terms of Peace Are in Course of Prepara t?OD. Washington, July 28-The terms which the United Statue government will find acceptable as a basis of peace are bezog reduced to forra hy Secretary Day. the Pres?deos bat tog reached a conclusion os their outlines These terms were the formal eurjeet of inter est and discussion to day io officiai circles If roe President's parp?se ?as to sreure a free expression of pub lic opinion on : his subject be has been gratified with the response made tbrongb the newspapers abd in the ex? hibition of to terese by go vernment offi? cials in the compl?x prob'em DOW pre ; Mored. Although ir was stated yester day that no announcement of the posi? tion assumed hy the United States in thia matter would be forthcoming be? fore it had boen formally discussed io the cabinet to morrow, rb ere ia che best .' .reason to believe that after the full coo fereoeee tue President bas bad indi-j vidually with the members of hit cabi i set, he baa already made op his own mind, and that Secretary Day bas eveo now practically red cc ed to form the, reply that the United States govern-: : meat will make to the Spanish govern? ment's overture throng to Ambassador j Camboo. On the main po ; a ts of term? ot peace, the administration's poeitioo was so well defined and stated by the Asso- ! ^ elated Press yesterday that there is Ht tie left to conjecture. About tbe octy j point that seems to be open to amend . ment of ao extensive character is tbe disposition of the Philippines While the administration bas not failed to take notice of ttie extent of tbe demand for their acquisition by tbe United States, as exhibited to certain section.? of the cc oar ry, it can be stated that tbe conclusion bas been reached to abide by tb* firtt decision on this poiot, . namely, io relit qoisb the toland*, re j taming a coaling statiion there, ar rounded by a sufficient sine of iasd to 1 " make it setf supporting. Tai* decision, ic ia poseibie, though i nor . probable, may be again changed j before the cabinet dispose?* of tbe mat? ter to morrow as strong influences are i at work to iodoce the President to tost?; upon tbe substitution of ar least au independent government over the i Pbilippioea for Spaoisb rule If this point shall be difficult of settlement, the answer to Spain may not be render ed to morrow, but may have to wait opoa another cabioet meeting otxr Tuesday There wa- a display of indignation tn officiai circles to day upon the pubti estifn of what was reported to be a statement from the Spanish premier imputiog bad faith to tbe United States in pursuing the war and continuing to mate conquests. However, this feel? ing soon wore off, as it became apparent apon refiectioo that the statement was either apocryphal, or that, if genaue, it was simply one io a series of oom ptex moves on the board of Spanish polities, and was intended purely tor home eoosompsioo. Tbe report from Madrid toward che close of the day that the newspapers there bad given their approval to the terms of peace described by the President went toward relieving a certain feeiiog of discouragement that was maaifested a; the opening of the day, for it wai patent that members ot the administra lioo apprehended a rejection of her d* maods by Spam at the beginning. If, however, it shall appear that this Mad rid statement is weil founded, and tbat the Madrid papers fairly reflect the views or the cu a s s of the Spanish peo? ple, theo it aeeojs probable that t?e dit Scanties that wi<I lie be ote the ?danois tranco in accomplish tog peace *ouii be rather internai ?ban external, and wili De based upon ?be preparation ot a treatj that sb-'i secure the ratifica tton of-me (Jni?ed States senate. !
