MAY CALL EXTRA SESSION.
Congress Must Pass Army Bill or Meet
Again Soon.

Washington, Feb. 16-The president
has conveyed assurances to some of the
party leaders in congress, in addition
to those given last week, that he will
certainly call congress together in ex-
ira session if it fails to pass the army
reorganization bill at the present ses-
sion. The administration has declined
all propositions looking to tiding over
the needs of the army by passing a
joint resolution, simply extending the
appropriations on the basis of the
present organization, holding that this
device is utterly inadequate to meet
the absolute necessities of the case.
The status of the volunteers would, it
is said, be extremely useful, and there
would be absolutely no assurance that
the president could retain them in the
service even when the emergency is
great. The same statement would ap-
ply to the regular army soldiers who
enlisted for war.

CONFESSES HIS GUILT.
Pref Stephens Admits That He
Burned Pardee Hall.

Easton, Pa, Feb. 16.-The trial Of
Prof George II. Stephens, charged
with burning Pardee hall, La Fayette
college, reached a climax yesterday
when the counsel for the defense in
troduced as evidence a confession
made by the prisoner the day after his
arrest. The paper is a remarkable
piece of work and dramatic in the ex-
IRENE. Stephens admits all of the
charges under which he was indicted
but lays the blame of his downfall
and present predicament at the door of
President Warfe1d. He claims he was
inveigled into signing the paper by the
college president. Warfeld is severely
scored and condemned and he is held
responsible for the physical and men
tai condition of Prof. Evans, who is
now in an insane asylum. Stephens
was much affected during the reading
of the confession. At times he would
weep bitterly and at others laugh hys-
terically.

is estimated at $1,000,000, at the low

a higher figure. At about IL o'clock
the fire was under control. The cause
of the fire is unknown. The records

which was blown up in Havana harDor

ALGER CRITICISED.
War Investigating Commission Says
He Was Incompetent.

Washington, Feb. 14.-The following
is a synopsis of the findings of the war
investigating commission: Secretary
Alger was honest, but incompetent;
there is not the slightest evidence Of
corruption in the war department; the
beef supplied to the army was all that
could be expected; Gen. Miles charges
were unfounded; no beef was en-
balmed; the commissary department
was well managed; the quartermaster's
department did fairly we'll, except in
regard to the congestion of supplies at
Tampa and the equipment of the
transports; the medical department
was overrun with red tape and did not
seem 10 know what it was doing; the
signal service covered itself with
glory; the relief camp at Montauk
point was well managed; the other
camps were generally good, although
many of them had to be abandoned for
specific causes.

Most of the Spaniards refused and even

unpaid, unfed, and thoroughly disillu-
