M'NNLEY WILL CALL
AN EXTRA SESSION
OF BOTH HOUSES
Unexpected Questions Will Arise on the Conclusion of Peace
One Hundred Thousand Men Needed for Garrison Duty.
New Laws Necessary for Government of Porto Rico.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The Post to-
morrow will say: President Mckinley
will call an extra session of both houses
of congress as soon as Spain accepts
the terms of peace offered by the
United States. 1t has always been un-
derstood that the senate would be con-
vened as soon as the treaty of peace
was ready to be acted upon by that
body. The attention of the president
has been called, however. to a situation
which makes the assembling of the en-
tire congress necessary. The situation
can be explained in few words.
Under the law which provides for
the raising of the volunteer army, that
army goes out of existence as soon as
the war ceases. When this law was
framed it was not for a moment sup
posed that after the war had ended
there would be any necessity of keeping
the army intact. The developments of
the war make it very evident that in
stead of sending the army back to civil
life, fully 100000 men will be needed
1t is the intention to distribute no less
than $4,000 soldiers throughout Cuba,
with 10000 in the Philippines and pos
sibly 10000 in Porto Rico.
Under the law, as soon as hostilities
cease. the volunteer army is to disband
and the regular go back to it's peace
footing, thus leaving only $1,000 men in
the service. This is a total far too
small for the work that will be re-
quired. Consequently the aid of con-
gress viii be needed to frame new laws
which will keep an adequate arm for
garrison purposes.
In addition TO this, laws must be
passed to meet the new requirements of
government in the Philippines and Porto
Rico.
The president is naturally averse to
calling congress together during the hot
weather, and it may be decided that the
war is not ended until the senate has
ratified the treaty of peace. In this
case congress will not meet until the
first or middle of September, as it will
take at least a month or six weeks for
the full details of the treaty to be dis
cussed and framed. The present out
look is. however. for an extra session at
it's work can be concluded before the fall
campaign has reached it's height.

Guantanamo Province of Santiago de
Cuba. July 25.-An official report OF
General Lnares to the Madrid govern
ment, transmitted on July 13. is fun of
sands of miles from home, striving to
defend property which the owners have
deserted. The report sent by cable on
July 13 was addressed to the minister
of war. 1t was translated for the as
ISOLATED press by Commodore Schley.
The text in full is as follows:

THE solution of the question is

succeed in prolonging the agony. The

Henry's Division Ordered to Join the

3 p. m, via St. Thomas.-General Miles

and also the Mohawk, with the 5th reg

consisting of 3,400 men and including
rs pieces of artillery. has been ordered
to march Immediately to Yauco from
Ponce, to be ready to join the move
ment north to San Juan. The 10th
Pennsylvania regiment was sent this
morning toward Juana DiaZ, eight
miles north of Ponce, en- route to San

noon that the Spaniards were murder

Miles has issued a lengthy order of
instructions to General Wilson. mill
