WON'T INTERFERE IN CUBA
No indications That the UnitedStates
viii Take a Hand

Washington. Nov. 12=The renewed
reports that the United States was
about to intervene IN the Cuban conflict
IS not confirmed in official quarters, nor
is there any evidence 10 indicate that
at the present time the United States
has under consideration any change in
its policy.
The only available information reach
ing here is that the Spanish military
operations began early in October are
about to go forward with greater ener-
gy than at any previous time Impor-
tant results are expected from this for
ward movement within the next three
weeks There are now 5000 more Span
iSh troops en- route for Cuba. They will
be distributed in the western provinces.
It is expected that within the additional
troops in position, the far western pro-
vinces viii be completely garrisOned
and occupied at every point by the gov
eminent troops.
The 1uu in operations within the last
few days is explained by a circumstance
not yet known. The insurgent leader,
MaceO, moved to the coast for the pur-
pose Of receiving a pneumatic dynamite
gun which had been landed with great
difficulty. The reports reaching here
show that the trials OF the gun failed to
show it TO be formidable, the shot car
rying less than the distance carried by
rifles. Under these circumstances Ma
Geo has retraced his steps without the
dynamite gun.
Meanwhile the Spanish forces have
been divided into two main divisions
one in the south and one in the north
The main purpose of the troops has
been to occupy the mountain passes, and
this has proceeded so rapidly that it is
asserted here positively that every ap-
proach and egress to the mountain re-
cesses is now commanded by a heavy
force of Spanish troops. This plan of
campaign is relied upon to force the in
surgents to fight in the open country

"A CORNER I'm RICE.
Almost the Entire Louisiana Crop
Held by a Trust.

New York Nov. 12.-Concerning a re-
port that the National Rice Milling COM
pany of New Orleans has "cornered" the
louisiana rice market leading whole
sale rice merchant OF this city said to
reporter yesterday.
According to advices received here, the
National company, anticipating a general
short crop. sent out large number Of
buyers early in the season and bought
many crops from the planters in advance
of their harvesting The Louisiana rice
crop last year was unusually large
amounting TO 1.505.1S9 sacks. weighing
about 1872 pounds to each This years
crop. it is estimated, viii not exceed $780,
600 sacks, and it is said that the National
company has succeeded in securing all Of
it but about 100000 sacks. There was a
large quantity of rice carried over from
last year, but, even when this is added to
the new crop, the supply Will be unus-
ually small.
There has been a heavy advance in the
price of rice in this market since the close
of last season. Rice that could not then
be sold for more than 346 cents a pound
now commands cents a pound. and that
which was then sold for cents pound
is now selling for 31a cents a pound. These
prices are remarkably high for this time
OF the year. when supplies are generally
coming in freely Louisiana rice is now
being extensively held back, and domes~
tic shipments come almost wholly from

FOR GREATER NEW YORK.
New City May Become an Actual
Fact in January, 1898.

New York. Nov. 12-The charter for
Greater New York is to be rushed
through the legislature at Albany as
speedily as possible after the list of JAM
uary. The subject has been discussed a
length during the last ten days by MT
Plat and his friends, and it is also said
that the governor-elect, Frank S. Black,
Is in fun accord with the Platt pro-
gramme. There is practically no obstacle
in sight TO the carrying out Of the Plat
scheme in rushing through the Greater
New York measure as Lieutenant Gov
ernor Saxton win give way as the presid-
ing officer Of the senate to Timothy J..

Governor-elect Black. it is said, win
discuss the Greater New York matter
in his inaugural message. Tic the new
charter should not be passed by the legis-
lature this winter no election could be
held under a Greater New York char
ter before 1899. and the whole scheme
might fail to the ground by that time,
owing to the changed conditions
If the charter is passed this winter a

RELIEVES THE TREASURY.
New York Banks Contemplate an
Early Resumption of Specie.

New York. Nov. 12.-The banks are CON
templating the resumption of specie pay
ments, which they suspended in February,
1892. by refusing to supply gold for export
and for the payment Of government dues.
That action threw the burden of supply
ing gold upon the treasury. and eventual
~ forced the issues of bonds by the gov
eminent which aroused so much com
plant.
Since the election the metal has been
coming into the banks In such a flood

termed the resumption of specie pay

General Miles Wants the Army
Greatly Enlarged
To One Soldier For Every L,
600 Of the Population.
SUGGESTS THAT MONEY
Be Spent Freely on Enlarging
the Posts.
Several Million In Building
Forts Near Large Cities.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Genera1 Miles.
commanding the army. recommends
that the antiquated and inadequate
buildings at the frontier posts be re-
built with substantial and roomy build
ings
He recommends that the policy as to
the Indians be continued He renevvs
forcibly all of the recommendations on
the subject Of coast defenses. 1t is
recommended that liberal appropria-
tons be made for the manufacture Of
guns. their emplacements. quarters and
barracks. The estimate that General
Miles makes for next year for the work
of the ordnance engineers and quar-
termasters and different coast points
includes the following:
Mobile, Ala, $50 400; New Orleans,
S4S9, 400; Galveston, S157, 925 san Diego,
$500 O02; San Francisco, 1902, $50; mouth
of Columbia river; $685. Puget
sound, $l64O
General Miles says: IAN unwise ar
gument has been made against the
construction Of modern appliances Of
war, on the theory that it is a danger
and a menace to the labOring classes
IN some instances marked protests
have been made against such a ma
tiOnal policy The arguments seem
scarcely worthy of consideration; yet
it is deemed proper to call attention to
the fact that these national safeguards
are in no sense a menace to any class
of our citizens, not even to individuals,
lection to life and property. They pro-
tect not only the commercial ports,
with their accommodations Of public
buildings and private dwellings, com
merce and shipyards. but the factory,
the foundry, the workshop, and also
the savings banks and the cottages of
the poor"
General Miles renews his former rec
concentrations for an increase of the
army on the ground that it has not
kept pace with the increased wealth
and public and private interests, and
he suggests that the enlisted strength
of the army he fixed at one soldier to
every 1000 of population as a mini
mum, the maximum strength not to
exceed one soldier for every 1000 pOpu-
lation, the strength to be determined
within these limits by the president
according to the necessities and re-
quirements.
He points out the Importance of hav-
ing at least two stations east of the
Rocky mountains and one west suit
able fer the accommodation of one
regiment of cavalry, and that the rec
concentrations made last year concern
ing the use of bicycles and motor
wagons, and the promotion of eompe-
tent enlisted men to the grade of sec
Cnd lieutenants of five years service.
