" Sign My Name to Any Picture You
MAY Draw of Utter Wretchedness."

WASHINGTON, March H.-Senator
Gallinger was at the Capitol to-day for
the first time since his return from
Cuba. When requested to make a state
ments as to his observations on the con-
dition Of affairs in that island, he re-
sponded:
You can sign my name to any picture
YOU may draw of utter wretchedness.
destitution and hellishness I'm that coun-
try. The condition of affairs so far as
had opportunity to observe it, and was
only in Havana and Matanzas, Is simply
lndescribable.
with reference to the military aspect
of affairs in Cuba | saw nothing which
impressed me with the idea that Spain
knows much about modern warfare. The
soldiers | saw are not drilled as our sol
ders are. indeed they lack every element
Of soldierly bearing whatever may be said
of their merits as fighters. The drills
that witnessed were a travesty on mod
ern military ideas. While they were un-
dergoing their evolutions the soldiers
were talking TO each other and smoking
as freely and unconcernedly as they
would do in their mess rooms.
Naturally there was much talk about
the Maine disaster and so far as | could
ascertain from my conversation with
Americans. not entirely under the influ-
ence of the Spanards, the opinion was
universal that the Maine had been de-
stroyed by an external agency and almost
every person with wnom I discussed the
subject In cuba expects that the find
ings OF the American Court of Inquiry

THEIR POWERS ENLARGED.
r'he Commissioners Of Spain May Have
Other Opportunities for Usefulness.

WASHINGTON. March ia dis,n-
gushed assemblage of officials represent
ing in their several capacities the Span
ish government and the new insular gov
ernment of Cuba met here to-day.
They included the Spanish Minister
who in this instance acts as the special
plenipotentiary Of Spain to negotiate COM
mercial treaties, Senior Manuel Rafael
Angulo, special delegate of the Cuban
government, and Senior Leonine Varela
secretary OF the Chamber of Commerce
OF Havana. joint commissioner. Senior
Cadrana. Of the Cuban Finance Depart
ment. joint commissioner, will arrive here
tomorrow.
Primarily these officials have met to
open the NEGOTIATIONS for commercial
treaties between the United States Suain
and Cuba but in view OF the present con-
dition of affairs IT is not improbable that
their connections with all the official
branches OF the Spanish and Cuban gov
eminent will permit their deliberations
to take wider range.
In anticipation Of the meeting on
senor Cadrana's arrival the Spanish
Minister has conferred with Commissioner
Kasson with a view OF making general
arrangements for the opening Of negotia-
tions.
The reciprocity treaties. which 1t is
proposed 10 negotiate have been under
consideration by both governments for
some tire and considerable preliminary
work was accomplished by Minister
Woodford and the Spanish authorities at
Madrid.
This is now 10 be carried forward and
in execution Of the autonomy plan the
rovernnent OF Cuhan's control OF their
tariff affairs. Messrs. Angrlo. Varela and
Cadrana have been DESIGNATED by the
Cuban Cabinet 70 represent that body.
Coming at this time OF emergency. how
ever. the suggestion has been made that
the Cuban commissioners would not con-
fre their efforts strictly 10 commercial

OF aiding n reconciliation OF the insur-
gents That this is in view cannot be

pull out at fifteen minutes notice and
special attention is being given to the in

Tomorrow the court will devote con-
siderable time to the preparation OF dia-
grams showing parts OF the Maine as
found after the explosion. The United
States cruiser Montgomery arrived here
this morning from Havana and the
United states cruiser Detroit sailed this
morning for the Tortugas with provis-
ions and ammunition for the feet. From
the Tortugas the Detroit will proceed
to Port Tampa to load ammunition.

SPAIN'S MILITARY STRENGTH.
The Total Number of Men Is 100000.
WI n All Reserves, 100000.

WASHINGTON, l4arcn ls.-Seyenty
thousand men is the number Of Spanish
soldiers who have been killed, wounded
and otherwise incapacitated for duty
during the war in Cuba. These figures
have been received in this city recently
from renable sources. and are said to be
as nearly authentic as II is possible to
obtain them without recourse to the
records kept by the Spanish Government.
From the same source considerable
other information bearing on the military
strength Of Spain and her dependencies
is Obtained.
The present force Of Spain in Cuba is
as follows: Regulars, l35.OOO. OF this num-
ber it is estimated that S0,0o0 Of them are
effective for military purposes. They are
distributed throughout the island as fol-
lows:
About 5000 are in the two Eastern
Provinces Of Santiago de Cuba and Puerto
Principe and the remainder are in the
Provinces of Santa Clara, Matanzas, Ha-
yana and Pinar del Rio.
There are about 10000 men in what is
known as the volunteer army. These are
mostly in the Province of Havana, and
are largely in the nature of home guards
corresponding to our State militia.
There are 5000 men who are not effec-
tive for military duty from various
causes.
The strength of the Spanish army at
home and including her nearby possess
sons is 10000 men which in time of de-
mand for add tional soldiers may be in
creased as follows: First reserve so 600;
second reserve 10000 men. all of whom
are instructed in military tactics and a
second reserve which is not instructed
OF 200 OO0 men. making I'm all grand total
OF 6le0Oo men.
Since these figures were received here
recent drafts of 10 000 men TO strengthen
the army In Cuba leaves only s. 900 men
of Spain's regular army now in the PEN
insula the Spanish possessions In North
Africa and the Canary Islands.
In the Philippine Islands Spain has an
army of 1900 men which includes about
l5 900 native troops. Several regiments
OF the latter were disbanded during the
time Of war. II is said that they are OF
little use TO the Spanish government.
In Porto Rico there are 600 Sp nish
troops. which in the event Of hostilitiCs
could be supplemented by 1000 volunteers,
