THE REGULAR ARMY
To Be Increased in Accordance With
New Needs

new N eeQS
NEW YORK, Aug. Phone Of the i'm
portant matters which will occupy the at
tention of Congress at Its next session will
be legislation to increase the strength of
the permanent military establishment, says
the Washington correspondent of the
Tribune. ,,t
Chairman Hull of the Committee on Mil
itary Affairs Of the House. who Is In WASH
ington, where he expects TO remain until
early In November, is devoting much at
tention to the subject, and has already dis
covered that the war has removed some of
the more formidable obstacles which him
dered and finally prevented the enactment
of a satisfactory law for the reorganiza-
ton and increase of the strength Of the
army at the last session of Congress-
Early In the coming session he will In
troduce bill to correct the defects In the
existing law and to increase the strength
of the army on peace footing to 100, 900 en-
listed men. He feels confident that the
measure will be passed.
The strongest opposition to the reorgan-
ization bill last winter and spring came
from the representatives of the National
Guard organizations of the various States
and it was effective to a considerable ex-
tent. The experience OF the last four
months, there is reason to believe, has
convinced that element as we'll as a great
many Congressman who surrendered to
its influence, that the opposition was Ill
Judged and unreasonable, and that rea-
sonably strong army. thoroughly equipped
and organized on modern basis, would be
benefit rather than drawback to the
National Guard organizations.

CEASED TO COUGH
Spanish Reports Of the Work of the
VesuYius

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Admiral Samp-
sons squadron down the bay has been in
creased by the arrival of the Vesuvius. The
dynamite cruiser-hurler of earthquakes, as
the Spaniards characterized it-came up
from Guantanamo, Cuba, whence it sailed
on August IS under orders from the de-
partment to proceed to New York.
The excursionists down the bay recog-
nized the boat and crowded about imme-
diately after 1t came to anchor off Tomp-
kinsville. Only the booming of great guns
was lacking to make the welcome COM
plete, for there was dipping of flags and
whistles and horns of all kinds made a
terrific noise.
The Vesuvius officers were proud of the
way their boat behaved in the lombard
ment of Santiago's defenses.
Its guns are effective in their work.
said Commander John e. Pillsbury. 'You
can say that the Vesuvius is great sue
cess" added another officer.
Twenty-six shots In all were fired by the
dynamite cruiser at the batteries command
ing the entrance TO Santiago harbor. They
contained charges Of gun cotton varying
from 100 to 200 pounds.
AS to the alarm the Vesuvius' shots Gre
ated an idea was obtained from captured
officers and men of Cervera's fleet. Captain
Concas Of the Spanish flagship Maria Ter
esa, told Commander Pillsbury that one
of the Vesuvius' shells struck the barracks
between the lighthouse and Moro Castle
and killed over 100 soldiers.

NEW YORK, Aug. N.-The conference Of
United States. appraisers. which began last
Tuesday in this city, is still In daily session.
One Of the most important subjects -consid-
cred has been the proper procedure with
reference to samples of tea. 1t is :he Gus
tom in the tea trade to send out samples in
place Of the regular shipment. Under the
special act forbidd.ng the importation Of
adulterated teas, however, good deal Of
delay may be caused in delivering the
samples. The conference decided to recon-
mend to the Treasury Department the
adoption Of a rule which would admit such
samples at once after an examination,
merely as merchandise under the tariff act.
The sample would be forwarded to the I'M
porter at once, withou. any examination as
to quality. When the shipment arrives, It
Is to be examined by the tea examiners, as
contemplated by the act. .s.
There was some discussion as to the
method OF. determining -thesoomponent ma

was unanimously decided that appraisers at
ports which have no government analyst
should send samples of such goods TO the
New York office for analysis. This would

1t was decided that "mercerized" cotton
goods should be returned as colored cotton

COLONIAL QUESTIONS
Cuba and Porto Rico Provide Many
Problems

NEW YORK, Aug. "a special to the
Tribune from Washington says: r----...
3. New questions are constantly arising in
respect to the government of Cuba and
Porto Rico, some Of which are not only of
great importance but such as demand
prompt attention. Among these are mat
tiers relating to public education, which I'M
der the Spanish regime were dealt with in
manner entirely different from that which
prevails in the United States. This subject
is one to which the President is already
devoting some attention. and In regard to
which his action is awaited with interest.
In the Spanish West Indies the colored
people, who form a large proportion of the
total population, have never enjoyed the
privileges of common or free schools, and
the same thing is true In a large degree of
the~ whole. white population. In fact. the
educational field in either island is. COM
paratively speaking, virgin one. How
and by whom 1t shall be cultivated is a SUBJ
3ect of practical moment. 1t is not i'm
probable that the agencies OF private and
associated benevolence which were so pow
erful and useful among the freedmen OF
the South in the later years of the Civil
War and long afterward will be found
active in Cuba and Porto Rico. There, as
was the case in the Southern States, how
ever, the cooperation Of the government
will be necessary. .- s,-.. a. -. tts
In the case Of freedmen's schools in the
South the government not only furnished
protectlon and supervision, but money to
asaist In the payment Of rent of school
buildings and the wages OF the teachers. 1t

money was wisely expended. Whether
