FAvoRs REVISION OF TARIFF.
Senator Hanna Says New Conditions Nut
BE Met

Cleveland, Nov. 13.-In an interview
tonight Senator Hanna slid the tariff
would have TO be revised TO meet en-
isting conditions:
The war revenue measures" he said.
must be revised, but we will keep
many of the original features of the
law; simply because it is now neces-
sary.
Under the old tariff law we are not
getting much revenue. because we are
exporting, instead of importing, and
something must be done to meet these
new conditions. We must have new
revenue measure.
SO far as | am concerned. favor
putting duty on tea and coffee. The
revenues for the support of the govern
ment must be raised in some way. and
the Indirect Is the best way, according
to my idea. When the people do not
realize they are paying a tax there is
no complaint.
Still, 1t will be necessary to retain
some of the features of the war reve-
nue. measures. The tax is now on the
people and in some instances, 1t Is the

GEN. NILES REPORT.
REVIEWS THE SPANISH WAR.
He Does Nor Directly CritIcise Any One
Except Through Repeating of DIS
patches Sent During the War

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 1O.-Ihe
repor, of Major General Miles, COM
manding the United States army, was
made public to-day by direction OF Sec
rotary Alger. The keynote of the re-
port is found in one of the opening SEN
tences. where it is said:
THE military operations during the
year have been extraordinary, unusuai
and extensive" statement which is
fully borne out by the long recital OF
important events which General Miles
shows have been the military history
of the year 1898 the most remarkaDle
since the end of the Civil War.
In point of interest the document di-
vides naturally into four chapters, for,
while brief allusion is made to such
matters as the military expeditions to
Alaska, interest naturally centers III
the portion which treats of the war
with Spain.
Under this general head the report
deals with the plans of campaign. OF
the war preparations, with the Santia-
go campaign. with General Miles OPP
crations in Porto Rico, and lastly, Win
the important changes in existing or.
ganization. which are. in General Miles
opinion, necessary 10 make the army an
effective weapon for the defense OF the
country.
There is an entire absence of any
evidence in direct criticism. though
certain sentences in the report are itall-
cized in an apparent desire to JUSTIFY
previously expressed plans of details
of the campaign. and, where it deals
with events the document is largely
made up of IL quotation of official DIS
patches.
Treating the war. General Miles be-
gins with statement of the unprepar-
edness of the country. showing
how the vast equipment left by the
million soldiers of the Civil War has
been dissipated or had become obso-
lete, until the tentage. transportation
and camp equipagc was insufficient fof

doubtful. Other apples will not pay

chants made even a half-hearted effort
to enter this market in 1896 they
would now be beset with orders. So
serious is the situation here, because
of the dullness in grain markets, and
SO decided is the downward tendency
