the mcuh written-about assault on
President Diaz last month, and the two
quickly resulting tragedies. The blow
the president of Mexico received from
the lunatic and uparmed Arroyo, natu-
rally created dismay and indignation
throughout the republic, for the maker
of modern Mexico is loved and admired
by his friends and valued even by his
one-time opponents. Mistaking the
excitement of the people over the in
dignity offered the head of the nation
for desire to see the insult wiped out
in blood, the young Chief of Police,
Velasquez, am bilious to win favor with
the government, ordered the assassi-
nation of his helpless prisoner. It
makes one pity the really great man of
Mexico that he should be made to
suffer the shame of an homage SO re-
voting and insulting, but it gives us
renewed faith in the man and the ma
ton that they should both have so in
stantly and effectively repudlated the
crime and brought the perpetrators of
it to justice.
And so with the suicide of Velssquey
ends the first case of so called lynehing
of modern times in the land of the
Aztecs.
What Mexico will become when this
msster mind that directs and this iron
hand that controls. is gone no one can
prognosticate, but while Diaz lives he
is Mexico and Mexico is the most rig
idlv and successfully governed nation
that ever masqueraded under the name
of republic.

Gen. Miles Recommends One Soldier to
Every 1000 Population.
Major-General Miles in his report to
the Secretary of War, says that the
army. although inadequate in point of
numbers, was never in higher state
of efficiency.
He recommends the establishment of
at least three military posts in Alaska
to support the civil authorities in the
evenT of trouble with the Indians and
to aBl generally in maintaining law
z.- Il 60 >'
Re1frring to the fact that approx
mate = s26 zoo 900 has been appropri-
ated fer coast defenses, Gen. Miles says
that this is nearly one-third of what is
required to put the country in a safe
condition.
Among the fertilization appropria-
tons recommended are: Portland, Me-,
Fl, t73 30; Boston Harbor, 81 347 900;
Narragansett Bay 1898, 900; defenses
of Long Island Sound, $l,07O,00O; east
ern entrance New York, $4S9,00o;
southern entrance New York, $1,419,
600; approaches to Philadelphia, s441
coo; approaches to Baltimore, $499, 900;
approaches to Washington, 1904 900;
San Francisco, ST., 1886 600; Columbia
River, $6O5, 900; Puget Sound, 81, 140,-
900; Lake Champlain, $40 900
Gen Miles urges stro gly an increase
of a. least two regiments of artillery.
He says that by Dec 81, number OF
positions will be armed in part or fully
with modern appliances and that nc
troops to occupy them will be available.
There are twenty-f five of these positions
named, among them Great Gull Island
and Plum Island, eastern entrance
Long Island Sound, N. Y.
The necessity is also urged of adding
five infantry regiments to the army. Il
is recommended that Congress fix 8
standard of strength on a basis of tota
popu alton. This, Gen, Miles thinks
should be maximum of one enlisted
man to every 1000 population and the
minimum one soldier to every 2,00I
population.

about to terminate. He has, however
taken no prominent part in the discussion
OF the financial and administrative reforms

doris fully matured project OF naval and mil

HAVANA, Cuba, Jan. 2i-The Spanish
gunboat Relampago was sunk by an insur
gent torpedo in the Cauto river, and several
of her crew killed.
A rebel force attacked the fort at Guamo.
in Santiago de Cuba. and the gunboats Cen
tinela and Relampago were sent from Man
the Rclampago struck a torpedo.
Instantly there was u terrific explosion
and masses of water were hurled to u great
height. The hull of the Relampayo was
torn open, and she began to sink. There
was no time to lower a bout. and the vessel
soon went down.
Those on board the Relampago who were
not injured jumped into the water and made
their way in the direction of the Ccntinela
The Centinea boats were ordered away to
assist in the rescue Of the Relampago's
crew.
The rebels appeared to be in strong force
along the banks of the river. and when they
saw the Spaniards in the water they directed
heavy rifle fire upon them. The Ctntincla
opened fire upon the rebels. but rs they
could not be seen. az their positions could
only be discovered by the smoke from their
guns, it Is not believed that any serious
losses were inflicted upon them.
The official report of the affair states that
the commander, second engineer and three
sailors OF the Relampago were killed, and
her bOatSwain, qnaftermaster, chief engi-
neer. pilot and four sailors wounded. The
boatswain of the Centinela was killed, and

EXTRA SESSION.
The Expected Date is Still Set
at March is.
Proclamation Expected Soon After
Inauguration Ceremonies.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 2l-March 10
is still the date for the opening of the extra
session Of the next Congress. according to
the latest word from the president-elect, who
proposes to issue his proclamation as soon
as Inauguration day is over. 1t has been
stated in some newspapers that the extra
session would not begin until the LIST of April
apparently upon the idea that there was
some constitutional or statutory requirement
for leaving ut least 90 days between the is
suance OF the proclamation and the assem-
bling of the extra session.
There is, however, no such provision,
either in the cons tuition or the stat
utes, and, while 1t has been the custom
to give more than two W els notice, the
necessity for it has disappeared with the
increase in railroad facilities. Now that
Pacific coast senators and members can get
here within week without inconvenience.
there is no reason why longer time should
be allowed to elapse between the proclama-
ton and meeting. As matter OF fact in
the present case the ,nators will ali be here,
for the usual extra executive session of the
Senate will be called any way to confirm the
cabinet nominations, and those OF the am
bassadors and ministers and others upon
which prompt action is necessary, and most
OF the House will also be here.
