PARIS, March S.-In the chamber
Of deputies the debate on the army
budget led 10 the usual references to
the necessity for preparedness against
Germany and to comparisons of the
two armies. The members OF the
house, while complaining of the bud

admitted the impossibllity OF retrench-

The minister OF war, VI. de Frey
clnet, admitted that the French et-
fectiveness was Inferior to the Ger
man, but he pointed out that It was
impossible to remedy this owing to
the lack of population. The minister
also expressed the belief that more
numbers above a certain point did
not add to the effectiveness OF the
army, as the excess beyond that point
could only act as reserves and he was
convinced that the fate of conflict
would be decided before the reserves

or the Retirement of Volunteer

WASHINGTON. March s.-orders
were Issued at the war department to-
day for the Twelfth New York volun-
teer Infantry, now at Matanzas, Cuba,
to take passage on the transport Berlin
for New York City. where 1t will be
mustered out.
This is the beginning OF general
movement for the muster out of all the
volunteer troops stationed in Cuba and
Indicates that the administration be.
lteves that the time has come when Il
can safely reduce its military forces in
Cuba The fact that the rainy season
Is not far off Is 4 potent reason for the
early recall OF the volunteer troops in
Cuba. The homeward movement will
have to be gradual because of the limit
ed transportation facilities now at the
disposal OF the war department. The
various regiments will be brought
home, however, as rapidly as the avail
able troops ships can make the trips
between the island and various ports in
the United States selected for their dis
embarkatlon.
There are now about 5000 volunteers
In Cuba and their withdrawal will leave
about 5000 regular troops there for the
enforcement OF the policy OF the admin
istraton for the establishment OF q
stable government on the island.
Under the present plans Of the depart
ment 1t Is expected that all OF the vol
unteers troops will be withdrawn from
Cuba by or before the first OF May and
so escape the dangers of. the fevers
which make that country such an un-
desirable place OF residence during the
summer months.
The officials OF the administration eN-
press satisfaction at the present politi-
cal state Of affairs In Cuba and are con-
fldent of 4 continuance of the prevail
ing peace and good order. The troops
are to be withdrawn on the theory that
there Is no longer any need OF their ser
vices in that country and that the ques-
tions of government will work out
themselves without the presence of u
large military force Consequently
there IS no present purpose of replacing
the volunteers with regular troops but
such course of action will be taken
only In case 1t becomes necessary for
the execution OF the administrative pol
icy. The Second United States infantry
has been at Admission, Ala, for several
weeks under orders to proceed to Cuba
and it Is expected that that regiment
Will make the trip in 4 short time. So
far as known no other troops are in
tended for service on the island during
the coming summer. But one or two
artillery regiments will be held in re-
serve at points on the Atlantic coast for
such service In cases some OF the regu-
lars in Cuba have to be brought home

The shipyaru Combine.

CLEVELAND, o., March S.-The pro-:
moters Of the ship yard combine have,
it is stated. secured options on nearly
every ship yard on the great lakes. The
owners Of the plants selling out to the
trust. have agreed TO take so per cent Of
the amount to be paid for their plants
In stock. The Cleveland building
Company, however, has declined to ac-
cept the price offered for its plant. The
promoters OF the combine say that they
will eventually reach an agreement
with the latter concern by which 1t will
be brought in. 1t is understood to be
the intention to close down n number
OF the smaller ship yards permanently
rs soon as the new company is organ
lied, while the big plants will be en-
larged and improved.

SAN FRANCISCO March s.-Dr. John

council OF .Apla, arrived hero to-day on
the steamer Alameda. To an Associa-
ted Press representative DR.. Rnffel said
that when he left Samoa everything was
tranquil and that the Mataafa govern
ment was recognized as the provisional
government by the three leading pow
ers, and 1t had the support OF ninety per
cent Of the native population and a ma
jority Of the foreign population.

the decision was in opposition to the
customs Of the Samoan people. and tho
Samoan government, and that pending
instructions from the home government
he could not seek to enforce 1t. particu-
larly when 1t was so obnoxious to SO
large number OF the Samoan people.
"As to the report that the German
consul led the attack Of the Mataafa
forces" he said. that is untrue. Amer

the fact and Mr.. Morse. an American
citizen has SO informed his government

"The reason the provisional governs

The president OF the municipal council
under the treaty, not only has jurisdic-
ton In the municipal district. but Is also
treasurer, adviser and executive officer
OF the Samoan government. He Is such
to the provisional government under tho
treaty. The provisional government
held that 1t could not recognize court
to whose decision it was in antagonism.
Afterwards 1t was decided that 1t would
not declare the chief justiceship vacant.
But Samoans do not recognize the court
and do not bring suits in 1t. The whites.
however, do.
my opinion is that II the treaty pow
ers attempt by force to install the
Malietoa government, 1t will simply re-
suit In the Mataafa government going
into power and controlling everything
outside of Apia. Allowing for defec-

HONOLULU, March /, via San Fran
cisco. March S.-Princess Kaulani is on
her death bed and although she was
still alive when the steamer Alameda
left for San Francisco. it was thought
she could not survive another twenty
four hours. rheumatism OF the heart
Is the cause Of her illness.
Four physicians had been attending
her all day and they agreed that the
young woman would die within twenty
four hours, one doctor expecting her to
pass away at any moment. 1t has been
known for some weeks that Kaulani
had been Ill. but 1t was not expected
that her ailment would take serious
turn. To-day rheumatism has affected
her heart and there is no hope for her
recovery.
Kaulani is the daughter OF the late
Princess Likelike. 4. S. Cleghorn, n
Scotchman. was her father. He Is now
living In Honolulu. She was born Octo-
Der 16, 1915 After the death OF kala-
kaun when Liliouokalnnl ascended the
throne, Kauani was declared heir ap-
parent to the throne of Hawaii.
Since the princess has been in Homo
lulu she has received very conslderate
treatment from the government In Ha-
wall When she took the oath OF ale
glance TO the republic Of Hawaii. she
was granted liberal pension. and the
last legislature renewed the allowance.
Some weeks ago q paper was circu-
lated among the business men praying
the United States Congress to make
some provision for the young woman.
The paper is now In Washington.
