RECl UlTlNG THE ARMY.

Recruiting for the purpose of filling
up the regiments under the second call
for 5000 men Is proceedingly slowly
in the States. Only 27,5l9 men had
enlisted towards making up the num-
bered required Of 1856, on July 14th.
This Is rather remarkable, when the
enormous population Is considered.
Men prefer the new organizations to
the regiments already in the field, into
which they must enter as strangers.
The volunteers regiments in the SER
vice are losing scores of young men,
who enlisted while under age, and
therefore cannot be held to service.
The enlistment Of minors is an old
trick, practiced during the Civil War.
II Is done by men who expect to OBJ
tain commissions and the pay of Off
GERS, as soon as they have enlisted the
required number of men. The COM
missions are obtained, the pay begins
and then the minors are discharged by
the superior officers or the Courts.
These experiences are teaching the
people that II we are to be warlike
people, the volunteer system must be
largely modified and the method OF
putting an army in the field must be
put on business basis.

The automobile has passed the eX-
detrimental stage in Paris, and the
fashionable women are taking 1t up as
a fad. Carriages and horses are
abandoned, while the automobiles
bowl along the Champs Elysees and
the Bots de Bologne. 1t is safe, there
fore, to predict that we shall have
horseless carriages here within short

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE following is
the text of the interview between Sen
or Montero Rios, President of the Span
ish Peace Commission, and NJ. de Low
etz, the Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times" published in that paper
to-day. Senor Montero Rios is quoted
as saying:
1--WE have fulfilled here very pain
full mission, which it is impossible
to dream of looking forward to with
any satisfaction, but that of doing our
duty. We depart without further con-
ISOLATION then the exclamation, Tout est
perdu sauf Phonneur (all is lost but
honor.
I'VE knew in advance that we should
have to deal with an implacable con-
queror, who would in no way concern
himself with any pre-existing interna-
tional law, but whose sole object was
to reap from victory the largest possible
advantage. This conception of interna-
tional law is absolutely new. 1t is no
longer a case of might against right,
but of might without right. AS for us,
we had only to protect ourselves against
the embarras ssment which it was de-
sired to infiict upon us, and to prove,
in spite of our blunders and mistakes,
that we had not compromised the pro-
verbal loyalty to the Castilian father
land.
Misfortune also has grandeur The
Americans have acted as 'vainquerors
parvenus' (upstart cOnquerors). They
do not yet know the misfortune of de-
feat, but there are things which the
most fortunate nations cannot escape
later on-when they, too, will have had
reverses. When they will have become
parties, they, too, will form, like all
expected to find this money in the safe.

other nations with a past, a code of

'We signed on August 18th a protocol
suspending hostilities, and it was on the
14th that the American General de-
manded the surrender of Manila. The
fate Of the Philippines remained unde-
termined, and Spain's sovereignty was
still in force, since we were still Waging
war with considerable force to suppress
the insurrection. But, after a journey
across a portion of the United States,
President Mckinley changed his policy,
and decided upon claiming the Philip
pines by right of conquest. Yet, / re-
peat, the Philippines, even now, are still
unconquered. The two chief islands,
the two richest-Mindanao and Luzon-
are not won.
this great whirlwind in which we have
lost all, lost our last armada, there has
been an, attempt to deprive US Of our
honor as well. On December 1st ]
proposed to the Americans to appoint
technical commission to examine the
question of the Maine. We said: Amer
lea will appoint a Spaniard, an Eng
lishman, and a Frenchman, and we Will
appoint a Spaniard, an Englishman and
a F'renchman, all specialists, and that
the commission, or the two govern
ments, appoint a German, and these
seven men bring in a verdict. If they
declare Spain innocent, the President
Of the United States will address a mes
sage to the Senate declaring Spanish
honor intact and that Spain was
falsely accused of having betrayed the
laws of hospitality by blowing up a
vessel at anchor in one of her ports.
If Spain is declared guilty, a Spanish
ship will go to America, salute the
United States flag, and Spain will pay
the cost.
"On December 9th the American
Commissioners declared that they re-
fused to discuss the question. This is
what officially irritates US. We have
great defects-our hot temper and cru
elites even. But our national honor IS
dear to US. Yet to that honor the
Americans wished to deal the rudest
blow.
well, we are now going home to help
Spain to staunch the wound. We have,
happily, at our head a woman whose
virtues, courage and intelligence are
our strength and hope, who is beloved
and esteemed by all parties, who hence
forth has the heart of a Spaniard."

NATIONAL LEGISLATURE.
YESTERDAYS PROCEEDINGS IN
THE HOUSE.
Indian Appropriation Bill Passed
Clearing the Calendar Of the
Big Supply Measures.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE House
gave to-day to the Indian appropria-
ton bill, passing it substantially as re-
ported. This is the third of the ap-
preparation bills to pass, and it clears
the calendar of the big supply bills, al
though another, the agricultural, will
be ready and knocking for attention
by Monday.
The House passed the bill granting
right of way through San Francisco
forest reserve to the Saginaw Southern
Railroad of Arizona.
Then Payne R.) of New York called
UP the bill extending the laws of the
United States relative to commerce,
navigation and merchant marine to the
Hawaiian Islands.
! McRae sought to have the bill
amended SO as to also extend to Ha
waii the provisions of the Act of Feb
ruary a, 1885, prohibiting the impor-
! tation of contract labor. but Payne
moved the previous question.
This motion was lost, and McRae
then introduced his amendment. He
asserted his conviction that the law
concerning contract labor was just as
important to the islanders as any
others.
Payne made the point that the amend
was not in order, and was confirmed.
| The amendment was then laid on the
table.
| McRae asked for the ayes and noes,
and Payne, rather than prolong the con:
! troversy, withdrew the bill.
| The House then went into committee
| of the whole on the Indian appropria-
ton bill.
! Sherman R) of New York, explaining
| the provisions of the bill, said that
While the appropriation was in excess
of the estimates, no items were incor-
porated that had not been approved by
the executive authorities. He said the
principal increase was for the Indian
schools, more than $2,5O0,OOO going for
| that purpose. This amount did not in
| clude contract schools and the question
| of sectarianism was completely exclud-
ed. Nor did the appropriation include
the New York or Indian Territory In
dians' education, whose education is
paid for out Of their own funds.
Lett Cd of Arkansas spoke in COM
meLdati0n of the bill, saying that it
had practically no new legislation. He
felicitated the Congress especially upon
the fact that sectarianism had been en-
tirely eliminated from the bill He also
gave notice of an amendment providing
for a school in the Territory
After extended debate on amendments
of minor character, the bill pas pass
ed substantially as reported, and at
