ARMY REORGANIZATION
The Hull Bill Heartily Endorsed by
Secretary A1ger


NEW YORK, March 19.-Secretary
of War Alger dictated the following
statement to Washington correspond
ent of the World concerning the Hull
bill reorganizing the line of the army:
"The Hull bill has my entire approval
and SO told the President this after
noon in answer to a question from him
as to my notion Of the measure.
"The organization under this bin In
time Of peace calls for eighty companies,
two companies to q squadron, a major to
each battalion, a lieutenant-colonela and
a colonel to each regiment.
There are now ten companies, accord
ing to law, in each regiment. two of
which will be skeletonized under the
new plan, by which It is understood that
the officers Of the two companies re-
main for duty and are detailed for spe-
cific duty.
1--WE have one hundred men at coll
leges and places Of learning where mill
tary tactics are taught and we are en-
abled to use these officers, under this
bill, in time Of war.
THAT company where all enlisted men
are mustered out Is called q skeleton
company. Another thing about the Hull
bill is that when q man deserts he can
never be restored and afterward draw q
pension. Under the present system we
have many deserters who have been
restored and are drawing pension from
the government"

Sir Michael Hicks Beach, will be unable
to make his annual financial statement

croachments. He has been well receiv-
ed at the British Foreign Office, where

better, considering the interests Of the

ton of q treaty came from the United

It would, if granted. put an end to the statehood movement. It would efface Arizona from the map SO far as ma terial development is ccncernsd.

It was a democratic 1egis- ature that passed the first tax exemption law making 1axless railroads a possibility in Arizona. The bill was signed by a democratic governor, too.

STAINS ATTITUDE.

The attitude assumed by Spain at Paris is net that of a conquered nation but of one voluntarily negotiating for peace in the interests cf humanity. She seems to have forgotten the less Of her ships, the surrender of her forces at Santiago and Manila, the protocol signed for her by Ambassador Camb-n, and everything else that brought her to sue for a cessation of hostilities. She presents her case very much as one would ready and not unwilling to ap- peal to arms again if necessary to en- force a contention.
 This may be a mere bluff, CT it may arise from the suitability and mode-a- tion cf the American demands. Spain may again be in error about the Amer ican character and temperament. Her first mistake was in assuming that she could make shcrt work in the field cf people whom she characterized as mare pigs and traders. She found herself confronted On beth sea and land by her superiors in every way. She was done for so quickly she must have felt the fcrce of the inquiry as to what the war was begun for.
 Was she surprised at the moderation Of the American terms? Did she e1- pect such as are the fashion in Europe, and would have been presented by any of those powers in the hour Of victory ? Has she been misled by the difference between the European and the Ameri- can fashion? Does she associate med eration with timidity or indecision Does she really believe that the failure to demand a big indemnity argues weakness on the part of the United States and justifies her in assuming that this government either does not know the value, or has not the enter prise, of its opportunity?
 While the United States is the vic tor, with the power and the right to enforce is own decrees, there is 10 disposition to make the fact offensive ly prominent aIt Paris. At the same time too much should net be conceded to the matter cf ceremony ard good tas:e. If necessary, the Spaniards should be brought to understand at a not tco distant day precisely how matters stand, and what the victory n American eyes comprehends Just as it was necessary to bring the war to an early close in the interest cf both par -ies, so is it necessary now to push the proceedings at Paris with all req sonable expedition. A treaty in time like a stitch in time, serves a very val uable purpose.
