The REORGANIZATION OF US. ARMY
Some of the Suggestions for Regular Army
and Garrison. and Work Before Con
gress.

Washington, November 29.-There is
renewed talk of the reorganization of the
army by the present session of Congress.
The general impression seems to be that
the new army should consist of 100. 900
men and that number no doubtsswill be
recornm ended in the draft OF the bill he
ing prepared by the war department..
However there has been advanced sug-
gestion which meets with some favor In
military circles which is to make regu-
lar standing army of $4,000 men and to
have a provisional army of 25,n0O men
the latter made ZIP largely of natives of
the islands where the United States must
do garrison duty These troops will be
officered from the United States army
and provision made to give them in
creased rank and pay while on such
duty.
1t has been suggested that lieutenants
could become captains and captains ma
iors and SO OH TO the highest officer of a
regiment 1t is proposed that the cost of
maintaining this provisional army should
tome out of the revenues of the islands
garrisoned 1t is not intended that he
whole garrison should be made up of
such organizations of natives but that
a sufficient number Of United States
regulars should be at each Important place
to maintain order in any emergency.
