agents in the United States that the Duke OF
Almodovar, Minister OF Foreign Affairs. when
sounding the Powers to ascertain whether there
was any hope Of persuading them TO propose
separately or collectively arbitration or inter-

Inv CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE

Madrid via the French frontier Nov Each
day during the week Sagasta has been kept
closely informed by private cable messages from
New-York Washington and Montreal Of every
phase OF the political campaign in the United
States. These elaborate reports from special
agents OF the Spanish Government announce
that the opposition Of Messrs. Hoar. Hale. Car
negie and other influential public men to colo
nial expansion has caused a split in the Repub-
lican party which will insure such a Demo-
cratic gain In the House OF Representatives as
may enable Spain not only to obtain more favor

retain them altogether. Sagasta is greatly en-
couraged by these forecasts OF the American
elections. and looks forward with confidence to
a Democratic victory on Tuesday. which would
in his opinion. best serve the vital interests of
the Spanish Cabinet
Sagasta still clings to his illusions about the
possibility OF prevailing upon France. Russia

HOW THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS ARE
VIEWED IN WASHINGTON
Washington. Nov. 1.-THE reports the State
Department has received from the Peace Com
mission I'm Paris indicate that that body has
proceeded on exactly the lines anticipated, con-
sequenty the action OF yesterday was not a
disappointment. 1t was fully expected that the
Spanish Commissioners would endeavor to make
better terms than those offered by the American
Commissioners. 1t was not expected that they
would close at with the American propo-
sition. While they have not in exact terms sub
mItted counter proposition the Spaniards. by
entering on the argument of the American
proposition, have shown a disposition to negoti-
ate relative to the Philippines. which has shown
the prediction that they would Indignantly spurn
any proposition which contemplated a relin-
quishment OF Spanish sovereignty over the
archipelago to be erroneous 1t is quite prob
able that the way Is open to a compromise
between the two sides. and that a monetary
substance. This. It is believed. is represented
by the difference between about S4O000OOO
probably the maximum allowance which the
United States Will be willing to pay Spain for
the Improvements In the Philippines. and 5000,
100000, which represents about the minimum
OF the Spanish claim for compensation on ac-
count OF the cession OF the entire group With
about $50 900 600 at stake in this issue, II will
be seen that there is fair reason 10 expect that
the negotiations in Paris will not be speedily
terminated.
1t Is freely admitted here that the presenta-
tion Of the Spanish objections to the American
proposal yesterday admirable in many re-
spects and showed the possession of keen legal
talent on the Spanish side Yet the objectiois
and points made not new. and IN most
cases were taken into consideration by the per-
sons who made up the American case Defore
leaving Washington, and were duly prepared
for. The strongest point made by the Spanish
side relates to the taking of Manila two days
after the signing Of the protocol in Washing
ton on which they base their assumption tnat
the United States was not in possession OF any
part Of the Philippines outside OF the insignh-
cant station at Cavite ut the time hostilities
ceased, and thus estopped legally from eX-
tending its possessions.
But against this contention ii can be shown
by the Americans that, regardless or the exact

UNCLE SANS GREAT ARMY.

Recently Authorized Volunteers.

The Regulars, the National Guard and tho
Recently Authorized Volunteers.
When peace reigns, the army OF the
United States consists Of %, regular
troops and the organized militia and
national guard of the various states. In
all there are 10000, 900 men available
for military duty. At present the army
consists of about $4,000 regulars and
so, 600 volunteers. The regular army OF
the United States consists OF 20 regl-
ments of infantry, 10 regiments OF cav
airy, 7 regiments of artillery and bat
TALON of engineer soldiers, the total
number of enlisted men not to exceed
about $4,000. 1t is also provided with
corps of adjutant generals, of inspector
generals, of quartermasters, OF subsist'
ence. of engineers and of ordnance,
medical corps, corps of paymasters,
chief signal officer, a bureau OF mill
tary Justice, number of ohaplains, a
force of Indian scouts, the officers ON
the retired list and the professors and
cadets of the United States Military
academy. In command of these are nine
general officers-viz, three major gen.
erals and six brigadier generals.
The constitution of the United States
has given the power to congress to pro-
vide for calling forth the militia to
execute the laws of the Union, suppress
instructions and repel invasions. )"
Congress, by legislation, has given the
president the authority to call forth the
militia under certain exigencies, as has
been frequently done. When called into
actual service of the United States, the
militia receive pay from the government
and are subject to the rules and articles
of war. The militia is therefore part
and parcel of the army of the United
States, although in common use the
term is limited to mean the regular
army alone. There is another class OF
troops not belonging to the regular army
nor to the militia which has been
raised by congress and employed by the
government. These troops are known as
"volunteers, and must not be con-
founded with the militia formed into
| volunteer companies. When a sudden
emergency demands, these volunteers
are employed by authority Of congress.
These organizations, when received
| into actual service, are arranged into
brigades and divisions by the United
States officers and are commanded by
general officers who, with their staff Of
fioers, receive their appointments from
the United States. This makes an es.
sential difference between them and the
militia. And although these organiza-
lions assume the names of the states in
which they volunteered for service, they
are truly United States troops and not
state troops, nor militia. They are
troops raised by congress, and the com
pany and regimental officers are ap'
pointed by the governors of states.
