rectly from Major General Brooke, who
Is in supreme authority of the island.
Thus in Havana General Ludlow will
be governor of the city, but answerable
to General Lee, the governor of the
province of Havana, who in turn will
be answerable to Major General Brooke.
the governor of the island.
The adjutant generals office Of the
war department was we'll represented
at the hearing before the house commit
tee on military affairs, relative to the
proposed increase of the army.
Adjutant General Corbin was expect
ed to open the hearing, but was detain-
ed at the department. His office was
represented, however, by officers from
the several main branches of the army
namely, Brigadier General Schwan,
Major Hestand, Major Simpson and
Major Johnston.
General Schwan detailed at length
the organization of the army under the
plan proposed in the Hull bill, which
has the Endorsement Of the secretary OF
war. The total strength of officers
should be 3,721; total strength of enlisted
men, 96,797; grand total of officers and

Sulzer Asks Questions.
In reply to questions by Mr. Sulzer OF
New York General Schwan said about
II. 600 men were required to man sea-
coast Notifications.
"How many men are required to
maintain peace and order in Porto
Rico?" asked Mr.. Sulzer.
about 5000. The Spaniards had
5000 to s,OOO," answered General
Schwan.
When Mr.. sulzer asked how many
soldiers were required to maintain
peace and order in Cuba "till the Cuban
republic is proclaimed" General Schwan
declined to give an opinion.
similar response was made on an
inquiry as to the Philippines. The ques-
tions brought out some differences be-
tween members of the committee.
chairman Hull said this was not the
| "tr;al of a case" and the officer was not
IN the witness stand. Mr.. Sulzer in
sisted however, that it was essential
FOR the information Of the American
neonle that the officers appearing should
state how many men were required at
home and abroad. Proceeding, Mr..
Sulzer asked:
general, what would you propose as
a. means of stopping the friction be-
tween the commanding general and the
adiutant general of the army?"
General Schwan said that he could not
answer. and there was a chorus OF Wig
orous protests from members of the
committee Chairman Hull ruled that
the question was improper, and Mr.:
e,,1,ar,s colleagues, Messrs. Cox and
Iav urged him not to pursue the ques-
,ion Mr.. Sulzer said Lieutenant Cen
sraI schotield had gone into the subject
cutie NIT freely, but he did not wish to in
sist upon the question
Mr.. Cox questioned General schwan
as to what use would be made OF our ,r
soldiers in Cuba. The general said
,ro,,ld be to maintain peace and order
there Mr.. Cox insisted that 1t was to
maintain this order over the Cubans, as
tho a snaniards had withdrawn. General
cobwan declined to accept this inter-
nratation, saying the army In Cuba was
=, maintain order against all alike.

Warships to Protect

1t is Thought Admiral Samp-
son Suggested the
Movement.

Washington, Dec. 13.-One result O,
OF the outbreak at Havana Sunday nigh,
is the ordering of the Brooklyn, Texas
Castlne, and Resolute to proceed there
at once.
The small number of American sold.
iers now in Havana province, all some
distance from the city, would be insult
flclent in case of another outbreak to
afford protection to the Americans who
have swarmed into Havana since the
war closed, and as it would be difficult
to send more men there Immediately, il
was resolved to use war vessels ior pro-
lection. 1t is thought that Admiral
Sampson suggested this move to the

Are You an Athletei

An Athletic Primer" is the October number of Spalding's Athletic Libra ry, just received. The book is pub lished for the American Athletic union and is especially designed for the guid- ance of those who are athleticaIly in- clined and yet do not know what steps to take toward the formation of club or the construction of grounds.
 It Is the intention of the Amateur Athletic union to encourage athletics in every town and village in the United States, and there is no reason why there should not be club wherever there is a school or a factory. The benefits to be gained from systematic exercise are incalculable, and the subject of phys. ical education, which is now receiving so much attention in schools and col leges. is the result of agitation such as the A. A. U. is now engaged in.
 The A. A. U. is national Organiza- tion of amateur athletics, and is the recognized governing body for all ath- letic sports in the United States.
 Further information on this subject may be obtained from J. E. Sullivan, the secretary, l6 and 16 Park Place, New York.
