His Plan for Governing New Possess
siOns-Nicnrag qua Bill TempOrnr-
lily SheIved in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The House to-
day surpassed all previous records in the
expedition with which it passed the pension
appropriation bill. This bill in days gone by
has been one of the most fruitful themes
of acrimonious partisan debate, but to-day,
although carrying $145 233, ,S30-$4, 100000 more
than the act for the current year-it was
passed in twenty minutes without word of
criticism. Mr.. Barney (Rep., Wis.,, in charge
OF the BILL made a general explanatory
statement of its provisions.
Mr.. Allen Oem., Miss.) of the appropria-
tions committee, in reply to Mr.. Barney,
called attention to the fact that when he
first came to Congress, fourteen years ago,
the pension appropriation bill invariably pre-
cipitated a bloody shirt discussion. He con-
graduated the country that Congress had
progressed since then and that there would
be no acrimonious discussion on this bill.
The country at last had the gratifying in
formation that the pension roll had reached
the maximum, ''and 1 congratulate the
country for this said Mr.. Allen in con-
clusion, "that while one of the most gallant
and desperate soldiers of the Confederacy
(himself) helped to report this bill the Presi-
dent Of the United States is down in Dixie
doing honor to the Confederate dead. We
all have cause to rejoice. NLaugnler ana
applause) There was no further debate ON
the bill and it was then passed.
The House then entered on the considera-
ton Of the bill to incorporate the InteIna-
tional American Bank. This project was
recommended by the Pan-American Com
gress in 1889. An arrangement was Effected
| for a vote upon the passage of the bill at
| 5 o'clock tomorrow. 1t was supported in
debate to-day by Messrs. Brosus (Rep.,
Pa), Adams (Rep., Pa.), Lacey (Rep., Ia)
and Walker (Rep., Mass.), and opposed by
MIR. Cox Dem, Tenn,), Jenkins (Rep.,
Wis.,, briggs (Dem., n. Y.) and Bartlett

ON the bill extending the marine inspection
| laws to sailing vessels of seven hundred tons

BRYAN AT 1T AGAIN.
His Views on the GarrisOning of Our
Colonial POssessiOns.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Being ap-
preached regarding his attitude concerning
the volunteer soldiers Col. w. j. Bryan to-
day expressed himself as follows: THE vol
unteers should be mustered out at the earli-
est possible moment. They enlisted for war
when soldiers were needed for active service,
and many of them did so at great pecuniary
and personal sacrifice. To hold them in the
service for garrison duty would be gross
injustice. The administration has expressed
its intention of releasing the volunteers as
soon as regulars can be secured TO take their
place. but the bill providing for permanent
increase in the regular army is likely to
arouse discussion and delay the day of dis
charge Many believe that the army as 1t
stood before war was declared was large
enough for all domestic purposes. L share
in this belief. II the volunteers are to be
held as hostages to force a permanent in
crease in the regular army prolonged con-
test is unavoidable.
II think it would be better to recruit
temporary army of occupation to serve in
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. This
would postpone the discussion as TO the reg
ular army until a more convenient season.
There is no imperative necessity for action
in regard to the volunteers. After the army
of occupation is recruited and the volun-
teers mustered out, Congress can deliberate
upon the various plans proposed and make
suitable provision for such a regular army
as may be decided to be necessary. Con-
gross could fix a maximum and empower
the President to recruit within that limit
so many may be necessary for an army
of occupation. The enl.stm could be
made for two or three years, unless sooner
discharged. Before the term Of service ex-
pires the country will have settled policy
and can then decide whether such an army
is longer required. The bill could provide
for the reduction Of the force at any time
and for the enlistment of the natives at the
discretion of the President. II recruiting
this army of occupation preference should
be given to the volunteers Eow in the serv-
ice and, in order TO encourage enlistment,
companies and battalions formed from vol
unteer regiments now in the service could
be permitted TO select their own officers
from among their associates now in the
service The pay for the privates and nom
commissioned officers in an army of occu-
patton should be considerably Increased
over the present rate. Service in the semi
tropical regions Is attended by so much dan
ger that increased compensation Is both just
and necessary.

Of the gunboat to speculator, but General
Wood declines to recognize the legality of

CUBA's MILITARY GOVERNORS.
Order Issued by the War Department
Milking AssIgnmcnts.

Making Assignments.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The War De-
partment to-day made public the formal or
der providing for the military government
of Cuba. The notable feature of the order
is that Major General Ludlow, who is desig
mated as military governor of Havana city,
while nominally subordinate to the division
commander, General Brooke, is apparently
charged to exercise all the civil functions in
that place under the direct authority of the
President. General Leels functions appear
to be limited to those Ok a strictly military
character, although it is said at the War
Department he may be eventually charged
with ali the duties civil as we'll military,
of the governor of the province. The text
of the order follows:
by direction of the President division
to be known as the Division of Cuba, con-
sisting of the geographical departments and
provinces Of the Island of Cuba, with head
quarters in the city of Havana, is hereby
created, under command of Major General
John r. Brooke, L. S. A, who, in addition
to command Of the troops in the division,
will exercise the authority of military gov
ernor of the island. Major General Fitz-
hugh Lee, United States Volunteers, COM
manding the Seventh Army Corps, is as
signed to the immediate command of all
the troops in the province of Havana. Gen.
William Ludlow, United States Volunteers,
is designated as the military governor of
the City of Havana and will report direct
to the division commander. He is charged
with all that relates to collection and dis
bursement of revenues of the port of the
city and its police, sanitation and general
government under such regulations as may
be prescribed by the President"
The commands of the military depart
ments Of the Division of Cuba, commanded
by General Brooke, so far as decided on,
are as follows: Department of Pinar del
Rio, Brig. Gen. G. W. Davis; Puerto Prin-
cipe. Gen. l.. II. Carpenter; Santa Clara,
Gen. Simon Snyder; Santiago. Gen. Leonard
Wood. This leaves the provinces OF Ha-
vana and MatanZas unprovided for. Those
commands probably will be left open until
the return of the President from the South,
but the probabilities are strong that Major
General Lee will be assigLed TO the De-
partment Of Havana and Major General J.
II. Wilson to the command of the Depart
ment OF MatanZas.
General Brooke. who has been in this city
in conference with the authorities for several
days past will leave for Cuba in ample time
to be on hand when the United States gov
ernment takes formal possession of the ISL
and New Years day.

There are two forms or funds of capital
existing at once in every well developed
community. The one is engaged in prose-
cutting industry. BY it's use crops are sown,
cultivated, harvested and moved to market
Through its use factories are built raw ma
terials bought, and, by the aid of multiplied
hands employed, are transformed into a
thousand kinds of finished products for So
cial needs. This fund of capital cannot be
seriously diverted by severe taxation with
out impairing the force which energizes the
industrial system. There is, however, an
other fund not thus engaged. This fund is
under the control of the many thousands.
1t lies comparatively dormant and unused.
1t can be diverted to the use of the state
with little or no prejudice to industrial ac-
tivities.
There are two possible ways to reach this
fund-as there are two ways to enlist the
soldier-elther by conscription of by volun-
teer service. AS we relied on the citizen to
become the soldier. so we wisely relied on
the citizen to become the nations creditor.

of the law. the smallest offerings-like the
widows mite-had the precedence over the
offerings Of the rich and independent.
Thus, by the voluntary action OF the
people, was the war chest supplied. A sys-

of Lieut.. Hobson and his seven pa

we'll informed on the condition OF
things in Santiago harbor. and then,
besides, Cervera probably realizes
that to make an even exchange the
United States would have to offer
a whole ship load of Spanish pris-

that this is the most prolific year
they have known the increase in
lambs being an average of 116 per
