in this city recently from reliable sources
and are said to be nearly authentic as
it is possible to obtain them without re-
course to the records kept by the SPAN

considerable other information hearing
on the military strength of Spain and
her dependencies is obtained The pres
ent force of Spain in Cuba is us follows.
Regulars, 135, 900; of this number it is
estimated that $4,000 are effec.
tive for military purposes. They are
distributed throughout the island as
follows:
About $4,000 are in the two eastern
provinces of Santiago de Cuba and
Puerto Principe and the remainder are
i'm the provinces of Santa Clara, Matan
zas, Havana and Pinar del Rio. There
are about 10000 members 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 mil.
tia. There are 5000 men who are not
effective for military duty from various
causes.
The strength of the Spanish Army at
home and including her nearby posses
sions is 100000 men which in times of
demand for additional soldiers may be
increased as follows
First reserve, $4,000; second reserve,
100, 600 men, all of whom are instructed
in military tactics and Il second reserve
which is not instructed of 100000 men,
making in all grand total of $4,000
men. Since these figures were received
here recent drafts of $4,000 men to
strengthen the army in Cuba leaves
only $1,000 men of Spain's regular army
now in the peninsula, the Balaeric is
lands. the Spanish possessions in North
Africa and the Canary Islands.
In the Philippine Islands Spain has
an army Of $4,000 men which includes
about $4,000 native troops. Several
regiments of the latter were disbanded
during the time of war. 1t is said that
they are of little use to the Spanish
government.
In Porto Rico there are 5000 Spanish
troops. which in the event of hOstili.
ties could be supplemented by 1000 vol

testimony was not weighty. Two other
witnesses were introduced to testify
with regard to forms of chOkers used
on the facines, and the court adjourned
