PARIS ADTICES CONFIRMED.
THE PEACE TREATY MAY BE SENT TO THE
SENATE BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS

THE PEACE TREATY MAY BE SENT TO THE
SENATE BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS
Washington Dec. 6.-The advices from Paris
70 the effect that It might be reasonably pre-
/ sumed that the Peace Commissioners will be
ready to sign a treaty within a day or two are
fully confirmed here. It Is learned that the
Presidents instructions TO Judge Day were to
hasten the conclusion. and to that end the
American Commissioners have been authorized
to limit the treaty closely TO the protocol points
leaving other matters, such as the acquisition
Of ca bic stations and naval stations to be dealt
with hereafter.
As such a separation OF the points is entirely
in line with the expressed desire of the Spanish
Commissioners. there appears 10 he no reason.
now that an agreement has been reached as 10
ell OF the protocol points. why those should not
be Immediately reduced to the form in which
1t is desired they should appear in a treaty. and
be at once signed by the Commissioners. In this
case It is possible that the treaty Of peace may
BE submitted TO Congress even before the
Christmas recess 1t is believed that it will
make toward a speedy treatment Of the conven-
ton in the Senate to limit the peace treaty to
the points Of the protocol.
As to the other points which the American
Commissioners were instructed to negotiate
upon. they may or may not he disposed Of in
Paris by the present Commissioners. but the in
dications now are that they will he left TO ad-
+ba ord ho1 c
Of diplomacy. the Madrid Government being
under no compulsion whatever. except such as
may be exercised by the Spanish people, who
may suffer from the lack Of proper treaty safe
guards to regulate commerce between Spain
and the United States. Perhaps consideration
for this threatened evil will lead the Spanish
Commissioners to consent TO the inclusion in the
peace treaty Of a clause providing for a re-
newal Of the old treaties Of commerce and
arnity and extradition. at least temporarily and
until other treaties can he agreed upon 10 take
their place
II this should not be tho case, however. there
will not he an entr. stoppage Of trade between
the two countries. but American merchants will
suffer from the imposition Of the maximum
tariffs in Spanish ports, and many other petty
charges which will amount TO A considerable dis
elimination against them. while the United
States statutes already contain clauses which
might operatc against the Spanish merchants

Headquarters Of the Army. Washington d. c..
December >. 1898.
The Honorable the Secretary OF War
Sir: have the honor TO submit herewith the
draft OF the bill for the rehabilitation OF the
United States Army based on a strength OF
one soldier to one thousand Of the population or
the United States and two soldiers 10 one thou
sand Of the population I'm the dependent colonies
approximately. one hundred thousand men.
Ny recommendations are for what believe 70
be the best interests OF the Government. not
only at present. but, as far as we are able TO
for the future. The recommendations have
been regardless Of any personal consideration
OF any officer or soldier now connected with the
military service.
The proportion OF artillery. cavalry and in
fantry is in accordance with the immediate
necessities OF the United States. We have four
thousand miles of coast. with twenty seven prin-
Cipal harbors. where located millions OF peo-
pie and property of almost inestmable value.
That they should properly be defended is de-
manded by every consideration OF prudence and
good administration. In addition to this. We
have the important harbors in Porto Rico. Cuba
and the Philippines 70 defend, requiring a large
force Of artillery
The organization recommended is such as TO
give rank IN proportion to the important and
great responsibilities required Of the officers in
the United States service. and is similar TO tho
organizations which have been found most
effective I'm the armies OF all other civilized ma
tions. and also to- that which found TO be
most effective in the Confederate Army between
the years 1861 ana 1865. 4 similar organiza-
tion has been recommended by General Sher-
man and Lieutenant-Cieneral SchOfeld
earnestly recommend favorable considera-
ton Of the organization As presented. Very re-
spectfully, NELSON A. MILES.
