Washington, Nov. lin his annual
report to the Secretary of War, Major
General Miles, commanding the army,
says that fortunately during uhe year the
army has been called upon only to Il linn
tied extent to act either against hostile
Indians or against bodies of men engaged
i'll violating the laws of the United States
or international treaty obligations The
personnel of the army was never in bet
ter condition, the percentage of violations
of discipline has been exceedingly small
anu the standard of enlisted men is con-
stantly improving. The care exercised
in obtaining suitable material lis shown
by the fact that out of IS, $40 applicants
for enlistment during the last year only
I,l65 were accepted as qualified.
Gen. Miles again devotes IL large por.
tion OF his report To the consideration of
questions of const, defense and he rencws
forcibly nil TIE recommendations on that
subject made in his former reports. He
says the appliances of war have under
gone SO great change in thirty years as
to make it impcrativcly necessary to
change the entire character of our old
Notifications, and their armament as
well.
The estimates that Gen. Miles says are
lmperativcly required to be allotted for

Gen. Miles renews his former recon-
mendations for an increase OF the army
on the ground that it has not kept pace
with the increased wealth of public and
private interests He suggests that the
enlisted strength of the army he fixed at
one soldier to every 1000 population rs Il
minimum, the maximum strength not to
exceed one soldier for 1000 populations
the strength to be determined within
these limits by the President according
To the necessities and requirements of the
nation.

A GIGANTIC FRAUD.
That is What the Kentucky Democratic
Chairman Calls it.


Louisville. Nov. 1l.-Secretary Rich
ardson, of the Democratic State cam
paign committee, to-day gave the Asso-
ciated Press the following statement:
The Republicans of the State of
Kentucky claim for the Republican cleo
tors by about 800 votes on the face of the
returns. This result has been accom-
plished by the preparation of one Of the
most gigantic frauds in the history of
politics. If a proper contest can he made
by the committee, the State can be Sc.
cured to Bryan and Democracy To make
this contest it is necessary for this com
mittee to. raise fund to he expended in
the employment of counsel, the taking of
proof and the general expense of the con
test. This committee is now without
funds, in fact the campaign in this State
was made practically without money
and the only means at it's command for
raising said funds is by popular subscrip.
ton.
''In view of these facts this committee
now appeals to all Democrats interested
in saving the State to BRYAN and
Democracy to send at once to the under
signed such amounts as they feel able TO
subscribe -

Washington, Nov 1.-THE renewed
reports that the United States was about
to intervene in the Cuban conflict are not
confirmed in official quarters, nor is
there any evidence to Indicate that at the
present time the United States has un.
der consideration any change i'll it's pol
icy. The only available information
reaching here is that the Spanish mill
tary operations, begun early in October,
are about to go forward with greater
energy than ut any previous time. I'm
portant results are expected from this
forward movement within the next three
weeks.
There are now %, 100 more Spanish
troops. en- route for Cuba. They will be
distributed in the western provinces 1t
is expected that with these additional
troops in position the four western
provinces will be completely sarrisoned
and occupied ut every point by the gov
ernment troops
The lull in operations in the last few
days is explained by IL circumstance not
yet known When the insurgcnt leader,
Maceo, moved to the coast for the pilr-
pose of receiving Il pneumatic dynamite
gun, which had been landed with great
difficulty, the reports reaching here show
that the trials of the gun failed to show
i to be Formidable the shot carrying only
800 yards or less thac the distance car
ricd by rifles. Under these circumstances
Maceo has retraced his steps without the
dynamite gun.
Meanwhile the Spanish forces have
been divided into two main divisions,
one i'll the south and the other in the
north Of the island. The main purpose
of the troops has been to occupy the
mountain passes, and this has proceeded
so rapidly that it is asserted here posi-
lively that every approach and ,egress to
the mountain recesses is now commanded
by heavy force of Spanish troops This
plan of campaign is relied on to force the
insurgents to fight in the open country.
The civil affairs of Cuba have also I'M.
dergonc II change within recent days. BY
agreement between the leaders of the
liberal, conservative, and home rule par.
ties, constituting all the loyal elements
they have been merged into one party
known ms the party of the common de-
Tense" The main feature of agreement
is the termnntion.of the rebellion before
any plan Of autonomy shall he put into
operation.

The Populists in the legislature hold the

banking system.
The Senator said he believed the Popu-
lists would stand solidly for such II man,
and If there are not enough silver men in
the legislature to come to their assistance
to elect such man, then the legislature
Will be dcadlocked and no one will be
elected. Should the gold men succeed in
capturing the Legislature they will prob
ably capture the United States Senate

Sherman Says Democrats Made Mistake
in Not Passing the Dingley Bill.
New York, Nov. 11.-Senator John
Sherman, of Ohio. in an interview to-day
said it will be necessary for Congress to
pass tariff measure at once.
"The Dngley bill,n he said, with
some changes, will do for the present.
The Democrats made great mistake in
not permitting that bill to pass in the
last Congress. 1t was only temporary
measure intended to raise the revenue
that the Government absolutely needed,
AMI ii the Democrats had let it 90
through there would have been no neces-
sity for bond issues and the Democratic
administration would have escaped IL
great deal of the ccnsure and criticism
that was heaped upon it.
II doubt" the Senator continued. ''if
the Democrats in the Senate will oppose
the bill. should think they, like the
silver Senators, would not obstruct leg
islation ] understand all the silver men,
except Teller and Dubois, are opposed To
policy of obstruction. If the Dinglcv
bill is passed at the coming session of
Congress there will he no necessity for
an extraordinary session after March (.
Considering everything, ! think that the
outlook for the passage of the bill is
bright
