Two Divisions For Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Sept. u Acomprc
hcnsiyc programme for moving the
troops to Cuba has been outlined bv
the war department., and it's initial
features have been decided upon. The
result is due to directions given by
the President September II to the cf
feet that details Of troops be made for
Cuba. Acting on this Major General
Miles outlined plan for sending two
divisions to Cuba, the first one under
command Of Major Gen. Wade, to leave
in October, and the second division
under Major Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, to
leave in November Each division will
embrace about 5000 men, so that the
plan is to have some $1,000 troops in
Cuba or on the way within the next
sixty days.
From the fact that they will 20 to
Cuba it does not mean that they will
proceed directly to Havana. On the
contrary, the outlook is that there will
be very few troops ut Havana, the
bulk OF them being scattered through
out the western end Of the island, gar
risoning the small towns, and thus
gradually putting into effect the mill
tary occupation of the island In an
ticipation OF the move the quarter
masters department. is preparing to
have transports available for the
troops.
The organizations forming the De-
tober divisions are as follws: Cavalry
brigade composed Of tho III: and Sth
United States cavalry, to be command
cd by Brig. Gen. l.. IL. Carpenter: lst
Infantry brigade, composed OF the lst
infantry aud the 4th United States
volunteer infantry, to be commanded
by Brig. Gen. Simon Snyder, United
States volunteers; ID infantry brigade,
composed of tho 1st United States in
fantry and the 9th United States vol
untccr infantry. to be commanded by
Brig. Gcn. f.. B. Williston, United
States volunteers.
The order leaves open the command
of tho divisions, but Gen. Snyder will
be III tempo lry command until per-
manent division commander is chosen.
Gen. Miles recommendation Of General
Wade for this command is likely to be
carried out, though it is still open,
owing to the doubt as to Gen. Wade $
being free from his service at the head
Of the Cuban commission now holding
sessions at Havana. Although the
November divisions, under command
Of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, has been fully
projected as part of this same pro-
gramme, its formal execution will be
deferred for a time. The regiments
forming the November division en-
brace both cavalry and infantry, with
Gen Summer in command Of the first
brigade.

Raising the Colon.
brigade,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.--Assistant
Secretary Allen, who has been directly
in charge Of the arrangements made
by the wreckiDg companies for raising
such Of the Spanish war ships sunk or
stranded in the battle of July as can
be recovered, said to-day, referring to
Constructor Hobson's work on the
Teresa, that the navy department. had
given the young constructor ell of the
assistance that it was possible to cx-
tend in the prosecution of his work.
Moreover it is now proposed to give
further aid in his effort to raise the
Colon, by far the finest ship of the
Spanish squadron. Whatever credit
has been earned by Constructor Hob
son by reason Of the Teresa would, in
the opinion of Mr.. Allen, be largely
exceeded if the attempt to raise the
Colon results successfully. In the case
of this ship the young constructor has
pledged his professional reputation
against the unanimous opinion of all
of the expert wrcckcrs who have cx-
ahmed the ship Yet the navy depart

sentative of Aguinaldo, who has been in
Paris watching the proceedings of the peace

day. 1t is learned that on Wednesday last
he called meeting of all the Filipinos in
Paris and London to meet him in Paris,
when a committee was formed with the OBJ
lect of doing everything possible to induce
France to recognize the so-caled Filipino
republic. A telegram was sent to Aguin-
aldo asking for instructions, and the fol-
lowing reply is said to have been received:
Insist upon absolute independence.
Otherwise fight to the death. We are all
united, and the government is progressing

gold"

Good Showing of Dingley Tariff.
It Brings I'm an Average of 100000 OF
About the Usual Amount Expected
from n Customs Law.


About the Usual Amount Expected
from n Customs Law.
The recent discussion as to the revenue
producing qualities of the present tariff law
lends especial interest to a series of tables
just issued by the Treasury Bureau of Sta
tistics, showing the receipts from various
sources, by months, during long term of
years.
An examination of these figures shows
that the customs receipts of the treasury
department now amount to one-half of the
ordinary expenditures of the government
which is about the usual proportion allotted
to that branch of the revenue producing
service.
The ordinary expenditures of the gov
eminent, aside from those of the post-office
department, which is practically self-sus-
tanning, are usually calculated at about
| 81 900, 900 per day, and averaged during
the years 1894 to 1897 $500, 500, 900 per an
mum, and at about the same rate in 1898,
emitting the Pacific railroad and extraor-
binary war expenditures.
The daily statement of receipts and ex-
penditures issued by the treasury depart
ment shows that on Nov. II, the l40th day
of the present fiscal year, the customs re
ceipts had during these 140 days amounted
to S73, SAC, 429. OF this sum a little over
81, 200, 900 was from the duty placed upon
tea by the war revenue act. so that fully
S72, 900, 900 of the $73, $40, 429 received in
these $40 days are the legitimate normal
revenues from the rates levied by the Gus
toms law enacted in July, 1897, or little
more than the promised rate of 100000 a
day from customs under that act.
The receipts from customs during the
past ten years have averaged $l5, 1879, 900
per month. This ten years term includes
the operations of four tariff laws, and it is,
therefore, interesting to compare the opera
tions of the new law at its various stages
with this general average during ten
years term which includes the operations
of four tariff acts.
