House Committee Preparing Bill to
Relieve Volunteers.
WASHINGTON. -Chairman Hull, of
the House military committee, an
nounced Saturday that his committee
has in preparation bill increasing the
army to at least 100000 men. Mr..
Hull stated there was disposition on
the part of some to make the limit
1875, 900, but he believes that, as
finally presented to the house, it will
not carry larger force than 100, 900.
Of this number 5000 may be natives
of Cuba and Porto Rico, who will be
stationed on these two islands for gar
rison duty.
1t is the expectation of Mr.. Hull
that the bill will be ready to report to
the house on the day congress con-
venes, and that it will pass both
houses before the Christmas holidays
When the president aflixes his sig
nature to the bill the volunteers now
in service will be discharged, regiment
by regiment, as the regular army is
recruited. The haste of the commit
tee is due to the objection Of the vol
unteers to serving in time Of peace.
