WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. N-The
SENATE committee on military aflals
continued Its hearings on the army de-
ticisuey bin to-day. General Aiiies being
before the committee for more than an
hour. The pending proposition Is an
amendment supported by several mea-
bsrs, providing for the immediate mus
ter out Of 10000 volunteers. II is un-
derstood that Secretary Alger and AS
sistant Secretary MeIkeltohn opposed
such provision and Adjutaut General
corbln said 10 view of the recommenda-
tion Of the Cuban military commission,
IL would not be advisable.
General Miles said that he thought
5000 men would be enough for Cuba,
He said that the island must In time
and At an early day be policed by ma
tlves which should be recruited into the
army under American officers. Amert-
cans could not stand the climate unless
they were knmunes. he thought tho
standing army should be increased TO
rs, 900 men, and said at least soma OF the
volunteers should be continued in SER
vice until the Increase was made.
The large Increase Of stan ohieer9
General Corbln said, was essential 90
the peculiar new duties devolvlng on
army officers. In the Philippines, Tor
instance, they were collectors OF GUS
toms and would remain 80 until Con-
gress provided otherwise.
When Mr.. Hay suggested that Gem
eral Miles estimated 1000 for Porto Ri
co, and General Corbin proposed 5000,
the latter replied:
'I would defer entirely 70 the view OF
the major general in command OF the
army on that point. II he says 5000
then that Is undoubtedly adequate, as
he has been on the ground and knows
the situation there"
what is your personal opinion, wlth-
out reference to the recommendation OF
the Cuban commission as to the NUM-
Der Of men needed In Cuba?" asked Mr..
Hay.
II would not have an opinion against
such commission" responded the gem
eTai.
The serious events OF the last few
days, he feared, might be the casting
OF the shadow OF future events" No
one could see ahead as to Cuba, and i
was most serious question as % how
long 1t would take to establish order on
u-stuble ana perInanent pasls' on the IS
land.
