DEFECTS OF NEW ARMY LAW.
War Department Is studying How to
Best Meet Provisions.

VI
Best Meet Provisions.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The new army
law is being critically studied in the Wal
department. There is general disappoint-
ment at some of the features of the meas
ure, but its provisions will be met in the
best way possible, though 1t will take con-
| siderable work as well as time to make
the preliminary arrangements for the full
| fillment of the radical changes made in the
! law.
No orders have yet been issued for the
mastering out of the volunteers, nor has
any scheme for re-enlisting volunteers been
framed. The War department has hopes of
securing many of the discharged volunteers
as re-enlsted men in the regular army, es-
timating roughly that 200 men in each regi-
ment will remain in the service.
The first impression made by the new
army reorganization bill upon some of the
officials of the War department Is that with
out perhaps so intending, the governors of
the states are to be deprived Of all power
of appointing volunteer officers. 1t is said
that there will not be even volunteer state
regiments in the usual sense of the term,
for the volunteers are provided for by the
reorganization bill as volunteers and not
state volunteers. If that is so the presi-
dent will have the appointment of all the
Volunteers, hOI ouly SeIelalS, DuI COmpduy
officers well. This is realized to be an
important point and the officials will 60 slow
| in constituting the law.
good many defects have already been
found by study of the bill and their effect
is being calculated. 1t is questionable
whether the bill does not provide for an
entire new deal; the complete discharge of
the present volunteer troops and their re-
placement by fresh levies. This, of course,
would not prevent the re-enlistment of any
of the volunteers now in service, nor would
it estop the president from reappointing vol
unteer officers now in service.
1t was said at the War department that,
up to this moment, no final decision had
been arrived at concerning the officers to
be retained, even in the higher grades of
the volunteer service. There must be some
severe cutting, for of the present nineteen
major generals only five are to be retained.
General Brooke, being in command in Cuba
and major general in the regular army,
would not be affected and beyond doubt
General Otis at Manila will retain his rank.
1t is also to be supposed that the remain
ing major generalcies will go in large part
to men now on the fighting lines, which, of
course, would favor the general officers at
Manila but these details have not been yet
arranged.

DREYFUS HEARING BEGINS
Judgment Of the Court Finds Picquart ant
Leblois Guilty of Forgery,
TO BE TRIED BY THE CIVIL AUTHORITIES
Hearing of Dreyfu. Revision Matter
40 He Taken Up In Conformity
with New Trial Re-
vision Law.

PARIS. March 3.-The criminal section OF
the court Of cessation, rendering judgment,
finds that Colonel Picquart and NJ Leblos,
a lawyer, should be tried by civil court
for the alleged forgery, with which they
are charged, and for using the forgery and
divulging matter contained in secret docu-
ments in the Dreyfus case.
Relative to Picquart, the court finds that
the alleged illegality in communicating to
NJ. Leblois war office documents was not
connected with the above charge and that,
therefore, the court-martial retains it's jurs-
diction.
The united sections of the court of cassa-
tion will begin the hearing in the Drey-
fus case tomorrow, In conformity with the
new trial revision law.
AS a result of the judgment the military
authorities will transfer Coloel Picquart to
the civil authorities. The charge of forgery
being punishable with severer penalties
than the other offenses imputed, will form
the first subject of investigation.
