WASHINGTON, Dec. I3.-Major Cen
sral Miles appeared to-day before
the House committee on military af-
fairs for q hearing relative to tho pro-
posed reorganization and increase Of
the army. Two bills for this purpose
are pending, one drawn by General
Miles and introduced In the Senate %
tho Hawlcy bill, and another intro
duccd in the House by Chairman Hull
Of the military COMMITTEES. At the
outset General Miles addressed him
self to the general need Of increas-
ing the army without references
to either bill lie said he had always
favored tho establishment of n fxod
standard for the army. The expert
ence OF tho past year, hc said, had
demonstrated that our present milf.

idly increasing demands made by ous
s~eacoast Notifications. Tho latter, as
far as completed, required somc 1855
batteries OF artillery and when the en-.
tire increase in coast defenses was
completed Dos batteries would DO re-
quired.
Tho war with Spain had shown
pretty clearly how many men would
DO needed, General Miles said. Tho
war had required $4,000 men for actual
field operations at various points OF
these, $4,000 men went to Manila. co.
900 to Cuba and 10000 to Porto Rico.
These were men actually In the pres
cnco OF the hostile enemy. Since
then there had been reinforccments
for garrison md other purposes.
At the same time, this general
pointed out, the necessities ut home
must not be overlooked. Tho entire
frontier had been stripped Of troops
during the late war, and complaints
were coming in hat the lives, families
and property Of those along the 'front.'
icr were ;eopardized by this condition.
In particular there were fears Of an
outbreak in tho Sioux country because
of the absence Of troops. It was not
desirable, therefore, so to withdraw
our forces from the frontier as to
leave them defonseless or to invite dis
order.
These considerations, said General
Miles, had led him to recommend .
standard Of one soldier for 1000 popu-
lation at home, with native troops on
a basis Of two native soldiers for
every 1000 population.

NJ. Millevoyc and tho Comte do Ba-

marched TO the Chcrche Midi prison,

police and were begged to retire
Thereupon M. Milicvoyc mado o
speech, during which he said, as he
pointed at the police: I'VE do not de-
sire q conflict with these brave fel.
lows: He added that they had achieved
their object OF being able to shout,
spit upon Picquart" SO that he might
hear them from tho window OF his
prison.
The crowd then marched to the Ho-
tel des lnvalidcs, the home of General
Zurlinden, the military governor Of
Paris, cheering for the army and cry
ing: spit on Picquart." Meeting o
lieutenant Of cuirassicrs on their way,
they checred him, and the lieutenant
replied: II thank you in the name Of
The army"
The doors OF General Zurlinden's res
idencc were closed, but the crowd gath.
cred outside, cheering for the army,
and NJ. Milievoyc harangued his fol.
lowers, denouncing tho infamous
monsters of the court Of cessation. +"
He ended with calling for cheers for
the valiant General Zurlinden, who
commands the army" and for the 'tri.
color flying VI the Invalides."
The original Drcyfusites arc en-
barking upon a campaign against the
army, hoping by such means to bring
about u revulsion Of feeling. Partly
from sympathy with Picquart, these
attacks are gaining unexpected and
turbulent support In the community at
large. They i~rritate tho chiefs Of tho
army and threaten their prestige more
than any episode in the whole struggle.
