REVELATION TO EUROPE

N. Henri Brisson's Opinion of the Course
Of America Toward Spain.
New YORK, Aug. ga dispatch to
Tho World from Paris says: Henri
Brisson. the premier Of France. said to
The World correspondent:
"The course Of the United States
throughout the war with Spain has
been noble. It has been a revelation
to Europe.
''In my opinion, when the American
conditions Of peace are known, the
world will be astonished. I expect
that the United States will take pride
in showing greater moderation than
any of the Old World powers would
display under similar circumstances.
Europe has no right whatever to
NEEDLE in the negotiations. Ny gov.
eminent, at least, will not attempt to
dictate what the United States shall
do. Other powers may try to make
Spain's loss as light as possible, but all
such representations will be guarded
and friendly. I feel assured that there
will be no concerted action by Euro.
pean powers toward forcing upon the
United States any settlement not fully
satisfactory.
II think the United States may be
trusted to arrange the future Of CHba
for the best"

EXTRA SESSION NECESSARY
Congress VIII Be Called When
Peace Is Agreed To.
MUST PROVIDE 100000 TROOPS
Volunteers Disband When Hostilitie,
Cease, Leaving No Soldiers for
Garrison Duty.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. - The Post
says: President Mckinley will call an
extra session of both houses of congress
as o as Spain accepts the terms of
peace offered by this country. 1t has
always been understood that the sen.
ate would be convened as soon as the
treaty Of peace was ready to be acted
on by that body. The attention of the
president has been called, however, to
q situation which makes the assem-
bling of the whole congress necessary.
Under the law which provides for the
raising of the volunteer army that
army goes out Of existence as soon as
the war ceases. The Developments
make it very necessary. however, that
fully 100, 900 men will continue to be
needed. 1t is the present intention to
distribute no less than 50, 900 soldiers
throughout Cuba, 10000 in the Philip.
pines and probably 10000 in Porto
Rico, consequently the aid of congress
will be asked to frame new laws to
provide an adequate army for garrison
service.
