10000 TO 10000 MEN TO GO
Two or More Army Corps Included
Seventh Corps, Under Gcncrai
Lee, May lie ScMt-Discus-
sion as TO Rendezvous.

New York, Sept 19.-The sun says
that unless the present plan Is sudden
ly changed the American army OF oc-
cupation will sail for Cuba about OCT.
Is. This statement is made upon the au-
thorty of an army officer usually Wen
informed Of the plans of the war de-
partment. According to this officer, the
army will include two corps and posi-
bly three, or from 60, 900 to 5000 officers
and men. The troops will land, for the
most part, at Havana and from there
be distributed through the island.
According to this officer, the Seventh
corps, now stationed at JacksonVlEe
under Major General Fitzhugh Lee,
will form part of the force to be sent
to Cuba, to be followed, possibly, by the
Second CORPS now at Camp Meade I'M
der command of Major General William
NJ Graham, Light Battery Billy as
he Is known in the army. These corps
are largely made up of volunteers, and
according to the present plan, 1t was
said, it is not the intention to SEND VOL
unteers to Cuba who do not wish to go.
BY the time the movement is ordered
there will be plenty of regulars In con-
dition to take the places Of any volun-
teer organization which does not care
to spend the winter or longer in CUBA.
Undecided as to Camps.
The place or places of rendezvous or
the army of occupation. it was salo,
are bothering both the president and
the war department. 1t has not yet been
decided, it was stated, to put the troops
to be sent to Cuba in southern camps
From the fact that some OF the troops
now at Montauk have been ordered to
Huntsville and Annistcn it has been
taken for granted that the regulars
were to be sent from these two places.
The officer already mentioned told a re-
porter that the president is not much IN
favor of putting any great number OF
troops in camp as far south as Hunts
Vile or Admission. He is more inclined
to have some such place as Camp
Meade if the troops are to be put in
camp at ALL The president is however,
inclined to agree with General Miles
that the places for all the regulars now
at Camp Wilgoff are the sections
whence they came when ordered to
Tampa at the beginning of the war. At
these stations, with barrack to sleep m,
good water to drink and more of the
appointments of home life for The men,
the president believes the regulars
would rapidly regain health and get
into shape for further service in Cuba.
The president would not send troops
which are likely to be needed in Cuba
to stations west of the Mississippi

Mr.. Perkins Gets The News.

Taunton, Mass, Sept. 19.-The few
people who were on the platform OF the
Taunton Central passenger station when
Frank w. Perkins OF Middleboro was
first told that his daughter was safe
and we'll at home witnessed a pathetic
incident. When the train stopped a
middle aged man with marks of care
upon his face alighted and, walking
along the platform short distance
came to a standstill, looking up and
down the station in an uncertain way
There were few people to notice him
and none recognized the man, nor was
his Identity known until q few minutls
later, when MIR b. +. Kingabury came
out CT his office and, looking about at
the people, asked, Is Franz, w. Per-
kins here?" The man who had been
standing alone raised his head and in
Dictated that he was the person sought
Mr.. Kingsbury stepped forward and
placed in mir. Re: kins' hand slip OF

hir. Pork rs started as though he FAD
been struck, looked at the train dis
patcher in a dazed sort of way ana
said, Il can't believe it." Mr.. Kings
bury, who was eager to be the bearer
of good news, then explained to Mr. Per-
kins that q friend of his, Mr.. Smith CT
Middleboro had telephoned shortly att
er o'clock to the Taunton station. ask
ing that Mr.. Perkins be intercepted on
the train whenever it should arrive and
that he should be informed of the ar
rival of his daughter and lover at home.
All that MI Perkins said was, Il will
believe it when l get home and see her
with my own eyes.
At this 5uncture young man stepped
up to Mr.. Perkins and introduced HIM
self as David Surrey. He stated that
he had come directly from Middleboro
and that Grace was alive and we'll and
that it was his purpose to accompany
Mr. Perkins home. In the baggage car
of the train ut this moment was Cof-
fin containing the dismembered remains

Grayedigging In War,

"It was the grave digging" says a
soldier quoted by the Worcester Ga
zette, "that broke down many of the
boys. Nothing could be more disheart

while digging tho grave 1t is bad
enough to hear the earth rattle down
on the top of a coffin containing the

put an uncoffined form into the ground

detailed for burials were easily dis
heartened, and the soldier who lost
heart was candidate for an early

I-CRGANIZING THE ARMY.
General t.itcs Tells The President
His New Plans.

General f.ites Tells the Prcsiden;
Ills New Plans.
Washington, Sept. 19-General Miles
and acting Secretary of War Meikle-
john called on the president concerning
several important questions involved in
the reorganization CT the army on the
basis of the changed condition arising
since the war This. it is stated, is not
to be peace basis, but rather an inter-
medilte stage betWe n q Wa basis and
a peace bas s, ewing to tie many re-
qurements III Cula, Porto Rico, the

In general the plan cons SITS in re-
ducing the volunteer army about one

tributing the rel, aiming forces, regular

Der Of men required for our outlying
possessions is now being carefully con-
s'dered, but a fnai decision is depend
ent somewhat uDen the decision of the
commissioners st Havana, San Juan
and PARIS.
In the redistl ibutiCn of troops a new
military delartn ent will be created in
Guiding Cuba and Torto Rico. 1t was
thought at first that the garrisons in
these islands would be made a part of
one of the southern departments of the
army. General Miles is satisfied, how
ever, thst they should be kept distinct
from the army organization within the
states and separate department for
the Antilles VIII le: u,t. The name of
the new department has not yet been
fixed.
Besides Gete- r'ring the number of
men for the several garrisons in Ha-

where the question of selecting the
regiments for Tie several duties is be-
ing gone over. The whole subject is be-
ing considered not so much as a war
measure, as there is little idea that the
troops will be called into actual service
in any quarter. but rather as a means
of establishing adequate military and
policing forces to sustain the military
form If government which necessarily
must lie lert in ope ali n in all of thsse

Once again the minds of a law abid-

Once again the minds of law abid-
ing people are wrought up over one of
the most horrible and most mysterious
tragedies that has ever startled the peo-
pie of the New England states since the
days OF King Phillip. This brings up
again the oft discussed question sis
crime increasing in our country" if it
is to what shall we attribute the cause?
Different classes of people have differ
ent reasons to present. One will say
that it is due to the sale of intoxicating
liquor, another will say it is due to an
increase in poverty resulting from finan-
clal arrogance, another thrusts the blame
upon corruption in the enforcement of
the laws and still another is satisfied
with the belief that it is due to an in
evitablc degeneration of moral race.
All this is based upon the supposition
that there is really u growing increase
of crime. Is it not really a fact that in
proportion to its population America can
boast of the highest standard of morality
of any country on the face of the earth
and if there is an increase in crime is it
not due to \ proportionate increase in
populatian? Scientists tell us that
criminal instinct is hereditary and that
no less than 500 hardened criminals
have been known to spEing from one
original family of professional "crooks'
and this is doubtless the seat of the
difficulty
