Trained to Military Du-

o'clock. and after spending a short
time in his room at army headquar-
ters, went to the office of the secre-
tary of war. Acting Secretary Meikle-
John was at the desk of Secretary AL
ger and was talking with Governor At
kinson OF Georgia and Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin when General Miles en-
tered. The latter was accompanied
by a member of his staff. After the
gentlemen had shaken hands and the
business with the governor was trans
acted. Mr.. Meiklejohn and General
Miles chatted for some time on gem
eral topics and the campaign in Porto
Rico and the return of the commanding
general. Shortly afterwards General
Miles left the department.
Speaking of the future OF the army,
General Miles said that there was a
number of matters which required
careful and deliberate consideration,
with respect to the army organization
and that undoubtedly steps in hat di-
rection would be taken as soon as prac-
ticable. The matter of mastering out
the volunteer general officers, In corre-
s~pondence with the general reduction
of the army by mastering out, he saiu,
would have to be taken at an early
date and that undoubtedly would u

commands.
with respect to the reorganization or
the army, General Miles said that the
experience of this war had very clearly
demonstrated what military authorities
well understood before-the establish
ment of a standard was necessary 10
the entire efficiency of the army. He
said II was his intention to recommend
a plan of reorganization to congress,
and he believed the necessity for II
would be recognized bv the public and
by congress. The acquisition of terri
tory obviously made 1t necessary that
there should be a larger army, and the
experience Of the war has demonstrate
ed the necessity of stablishing a stand
ard and having the troops thoroughly
trained to the military service. II was
desirable, he said, that the army
should be organized oil the basis of on
soldier to every certain number OF in
habitants.
1t was very important, and this hao
been clearly demonstrated in the wal
with Spain. that there should be a full
complement of non-commissioned OIL
GERS and men. as well as Of command
ing officers, who were trained to th'
hardships of military life, and whit
knew how to take care of themselves
and to look out for their own health
and comfort in q campaign. That mil
itary operations should be directed b.
military men, he said, was too obvious
to need to be stated.

TO PAY CUBANS.
II Would Accomplish the D~isbanding of

New York, Sept. s.-The following let
ter to President Mckinley was made
public to-day by the Cuban-American
league:
Hon. william Mckinley. President of
the United States, Washington:
Dear Sir: The Cuban-American league
would urge upon the government of the
United States that a plan be devised n
carried out at the earliest possible mo-
ment for the payment of the army of the
Cuban revolution. This would accom-
plish the immediate disbanding of the
army and the soldier would not have
to return to his family empty-handed.
but would have something with which
to start in the world anew. Again. his
good will towards the United States
would be complete, he having received
his pay AT their hands.
"Of course, the funds for this pur-
pose will have to be advanced by the
United States, to be paid by Cuba as
soon as she has a government duly
organized independent or as a state in
the union that can issue the necessary
bonds, and in the meantime the United
States will hold the island, the public
lands and collect the revenues. max
ing her security ample. Payments
could be made on pay rolls certified by
General Gomez as commandments
of the army of the revolution, and
these could be safeguarded in every
way as to prevent irregularity. The
soldier, upon being paid, would make
his affidavit of service and as to the
correctness of his account and at the
same time assign his claims to the
United States. Very truly yours,
wv. O. MCDOWELL, President.
