WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. --Adjutant
General Corbin stated at the hearing
before the house military affairs com
mittee that the Cuban evacuation com
mission, Generals Wade and Butler and
Admiral Sampson, had recommended
that an army of 1000 was requisite to
maintain order in Cuba.
1t was on this recommendation, said
General Corbin, that the plan of send
ing troops to Cuba was based. 1t might
be found that $4,000 men would not be
absolutely requisite.
But we are holding $4,000 men in
readiness to go if required" said the
general.
LAS to the Philippines" he went on,
General Otis, in command there, had
recommended that $4,000 men were re-
quired there. In Porto Rico, the officers
in command there recommend that the
force now on hand is about adequate for
the requirements. The present force
is 6,1O0. That made 81, 900 men, so, ,OJO
for Cuba, $4,000 for the Philippines and
about 5000 for Porto Rico, leaving, with
an army of 100000, about $4,000 for re-

weeks to live. An operation was recon-
mended, but the specialist SAID the patient
must be stronger to undergoit. MIR. Chenet
adds:

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The United

Colonel c. A. Woodruff, assistant COM
missary of subsistence, has forwarded
to them by the steamship Mississippi,
which sailed at noon for Santiago and
Ponce, 10000 pounds of prime turkeys
and 1900 pounds of fresh cranberries,
which should reach them in plenty of

though they had bought them off the

Disappearing Gun Carriages.

The disappearing carriages are built
in accordance with any one of a num-
Der Of mechanical principles; but,
whatever system be employed, the
practical operation is the same. In
front of the gun is an immense shield
of sand and concrete presenting no
projection or angles which would re-
veal its location. Behind this thegu
lies hid, It is loaded, given the
proper elevation and direction, rises,
discharges it's projectile, and the re-
coil returns it to it's hidden position.
To test the value of such mountings
the English conducted experiments at
Portland in 1885. A pit was dug in
the natural slope of hill and in this
pit wooden model Of a large gun was
mounted upon disappearing carriage.
It was arranged to appear for half =
minute at intervals of three minutes,
emit puff of smoke and disappear.
The Hercules at 800 yards fred in ten
minutes 6910rounds from the machine
guns and 80 rounds from its 6-pound-
ers. The gun stuck at the seventh
minute and could not be hauled down.
In spite Of this it was struck only six
teen times, and had it been steel the
effect would have been simply to
scratch the paint. Besides this %
1O-inch shells were fired at it from a
distance Of $500 yards and no hits
were made, the shell striking from
800 yards short to 800 yards over, and
from 100 yards left to 100 yards right.
This was under circumstances nfavor-
able to the gun since it did not return
the fire. A fixed gun subjected to a
similar test was struck over 200 times.

X-Ray to Determine Sex.

Another new use Of the X-ray has
recently been discovered. Much diff

tinguishing the masculine from the
feminine silk cocoon, and the distinc-

more silk. The female cocoon con-
tains many unripe eggs, rich in min
eral salts. The dark shade produced
by them denotes the sex.
