ARMY NEEDED IN CUBA
Evacuation Board Says That Fifty
Thousand Soldiers Are Wanted.
TO MAINTAIN ORDER THERE.
Adiutant General COrbin Tells the House
Committee on Military Affairs How
Balance of Army Should
BE Distributed.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Adjutant General
torbin has appeared before the house COM
uittee on military affairs. His statements
attracted unusual interest because OF thef
direct reference to conditions in Cuba, Por-
to Rico and the Philippines and the mill
tary requirements on which the war de-
partment was acting. AS to the need OF an
increased army, General Corbin said that
was a most serious proposition. He pro-
ceeded:
"The Cuban evacuation commission, con-
sistng of Generals Wade and Butler and
Admiral Sampson, has submitted a state
ment that to restore and preserve order in
Cuba it will require the presence of an
army of 10000 men,
General Corbin said he would send this
recommendation in confidence to the COM
mittee. but later it was arranged that it
should be submitted without confidential
reservations. 1t was on this recommends
ton, said General Corbin, that the plan OF
sending troops to Cuba was based. 1t might
be found that 10000 men would not be alb
solutely requisite.
"But we are holding $4,000 men in readi-
ness to go if required" said the general.
As to the Philippines. he went on, General
Otis, in command there, had recommended
that 25G0O men were required there. In
Porto Rico the officers in command there
recommend that the force now on hand is
about adequate for the requirements. The
present force is 5000. That made 81 900 men
$4,000 for Cuba 5000 for the Philip
pines and about 5000 for Porto Rico-leav-
ING an army of 100000, with about $4,000
for reserves at home.
at must be borne in mind said General
Corbn, that an army in time of peace is
like insurance-it is "A preparation for an
emergency. If we had such an army last
June there would have been NO such loss of
life as occurred
A Conservative Estimate.
"Do you think 50, 900 men for Cuba a CON
sentative estimator asked Mr.. Jett of Hi
nois.
IL think it is" answered the general.
"And how long will that last,' asked Mr..
Hay.
81 wish could say" answered General
Corbin. but no man can say. You can
not view conditions in Cuba as you can in
Ohio or Pennsylvania For 100 years the
people there have been accustomed to be
ruled by force. The officers fear that with
thoso conditions and habits, if troops are
not there trouble may occur"
He went on to show how the Spanish sol
der had ruled throughout Cuba, forming
even the rural police forces. and the munic-
ipal police force at Havana. AS to the
trouble which had occurred in Porto Rico
General Corbin said it was not due to dis
position to fight the United States, but to a
tendency in certain classes-wandering out
law bands-toward disorder.
When questioned by Mr.. Hay of Virginia
as to how soon the United States troops
could be withdrawn from Cuba, General
q rbin said it was impossible to say even
approximately.
There is not man living, in my judg
ment." he said, who can foresee, even for
80 days, what the future will bring forth"

Not for this only do 7 love thee, but
Because Infnity upon thee broods;
And thou art full Of whispers and Of shad-

A MOUNTAIN OF COAL.
1t is Said TO be Particularly Suited for
Cooking Purposes.


Coking Purposes.
About eight months ago G. 7. Holiday
of Salt Lake City discovered a solid
mountain of coal in Emery county, Utah,
about ten miles northeast of Sunnyside
on the Rio Grande Western railway. Mr..
Holiday, who is an experienced coal
miner, was satisfied that the coal was
suitable for coking purposes and inter
ested his father and brother, also of Salt
Lake City, who, together with a number
of other gentlemen, located about 1000
acres Of land, embracing the entire noun
tain. Samples of the coal were sent to
the +. V. Coal company, and shortly aft
er the owners received an offer Of $4,000
for their property from the above com
pany. This offer was accepted, but diff
ferences arose as to terms and the deal
fell through.
Further tests were made and it is now
certain that this coal is the very best
for coking purposes that has been dis
covered. Shipments are now being made
to the Salt Lake Gas works, and it is
found to contain 420 feet more gas to the
ton than the best Colorado product
A company has been formed with 4

Proof of Authorizations.

The dark, smoky color which is found
in many of the extracts of commerce is
proof positive Of foreign ingredients aud
authorizations. Most of these so-called
vanilla extracts emit coarse and rank
smell. This proves the presence of the
cheap Tonka bean. This is used as a
substitute of the more costly vanilla. The
Tonka bean is the one which is used to
scent snuff
