THE ARMY BILL.


Washington, Feb. 23.-That there Is
to be an adjustment of the differences
on the army reorganization bill in the
senate is the general understanding
among senators tonight Few, how
ever, will attempt to give details, IL In
deed they have been arranged. The
democratic senators have contended for
little more than the fixing of the time
limit for the continuance of the EXIST
ence of the enlarged army, being Will
ing, as they say, to give the adminis-
tration all the men and all the money
nesessary to its purposes for the press
ent.
Accordingly the time for the contin-
uance of the increase has been fixed at
July 1, 1901. There is mutual UNDER
standing that the new army shall not
number to exceed $4,000 men, as provid-
ed in the Cockrill bill, and that the
staff provisions of the Hull -Hawley bill
shall be retained in substantially the
same form as reported from the mile
tary committee. OF the troops author
ized $4,000 are to be raised subject to-
the discretion Of the president and may
be natives of the new possessions or
otherwise, as he may determine.
The committee on military affairs has
been called to meet tomorrow, and the
presumption is that the new bill will re-
ceive attention at this meeting The
programme is to continue the truce to-
morrow, and not to attempt to take up
the army bill in the senate before Sat
~ L, 4 ~
ure may be reported and passed after
only a reasonable delay. The present
understanding is that the bill shall be a
new measure. To make it a substitute
would leave the matter open to a con-
ference committee, and the democrats8
are not willing to take their chances in
a conference. Hence, after the bill shall
have passed the senate it will go to the
house and be acted upon there as IL no
army hill had passed that body.

QUICK ACTION BY BRITISH

THE OMAN AFFAIR,
The Lease by the Sultan to That coun-s
try of Port on the Coast Met by Wig
orous Action-The British Admiral.
Threatened Bombnrdment at a Given

Bombay, Feb 23-1mportant details
regarding the action of the British
authorities at Muscat, the capital Of
the Sultan, in Oman, have just becomes
public. 1t appears that the news Of the
lease to France on the coast of Umkom
leaked out while the British political
agent at Muscat was absent He
promptly returned to his post, but the
Sultan refused to furnish him with any
information. The commander Of the
British boat Sphinx thereupon despatch-
ed lieutenant and crew to Abandar-
Josier. Balt the Sultan, hoping to re
ceive aid from the French, continued to
be recalcitrant. The arrival Of the
cruiser Eclipse, flagship of the East In-
dies station, with Rear Admiral Ed
the Sultan's subjects into panic, the
Sultan himself still remaining obdurate.
During the morning of February 16, Adj
miral Drummond sent word ashore that
unless the Sultan attended Conference
on board the Eclipse at 2 O'Clock that
afternoon he would bombard the forts
at p. m. Notice Of the admiral's irl-
tention was sent to the foreign consuls
and the town was speedily brought into
confusion. The Sultan posted a notih
cation to the custom house and on the
gates of the town that the agreement
with the French was cancelled, the Sui
tan sent his soldiers on board the Elipse, N
but the admiral refused to receive them
as substitute. The sultan later acqui-
esced to the British demands.

STILL FEEDING THE CUBANS
FIVE PER CENT, OF POPULATION
Lying ON AMERICA,
Havana Alone Cases of Fraud-Ap-
pltcants That VIII Not Work Some
Are Said to Sell the Meats and Grocer
les They Receive.

Havana, Feb. 23.-The United States
is to-day feeding 5 per cent. of the
total population of Cuba, and the num-
ber appears to increase, rather than
diminish. From 10000 to 5000 are fed
in Havana alone on army rations, or 10
per cent. of the city's inhabitants Dur
ing the last five days the number of
rations distributed has been double the
previous average owing to the change
of system.
AS soon as this new system was we'll
under way the amount Of rations daily
distributed rose from 10000 to 20,O0O
and even $4,000. The junior officers in
charge Of the relief stations are still re-
quired to make personal inquiry, as far
as possible, but in spite Of every pre-
caution, there Is not a little to indicate
that undeserving persons receive the
American charity. For instance, it hap
pens now and then that an applicant,
supposed to be poor wretch, engages
q cab at twenty cent fare to take the
rations home. 1t frequently occurs that
applicants waiting for rations decline
offers of work. At one distributing
office a householder of Havana recog-
llized his laundress among the appli-
cants. AS matter of fact, the woman
was earning $40 a week. 1t is common
" reported that Havana servants re-
sign their jobs because they are able
to live on the rations distributed by the
Americans. One story has it that no
fewer than 1000 servants of one sort or
another have done this.
People of the country are said to come
to Havana to get share of the gro
ceries distributed, and then to sell clan
destinely the canned meats, for in
stance. Doubtless some of these state
ments are exaggerated, while others
fled, but the officers who are doing the
relief work say that many such unwor-
thy cases are found. On the other
hand, it is much better they argue,
that five unworthy persons should re-
ceive than one who is worthy should go
without. There is no doubt that thou
sands upon thousands are genuinely in
most of them at present, the United
States must relieve their necessities
Otherwise starvation is before them.
But how to stop the widespread desti-
tuition is the serious question which
the military administration has to han

STTU1TION IN P1RTS.
More Demonstrations and Over 200 Ar
rests-A Deputy Among Them.

Paris Feb. 23-At about $3.50 p m. a
of the Libre Parole and started shout
! ing Panama" and Down With Lou
| bet" Several of these persons were
promptly arrested and Deputy Mile
voye, national republican, who attempt
ed to rescue them, was also arrested,
while a friend of his was captured and
taken to the police station at the same
time. A sergeant of police was serious
ly injured with sword strike While
making an arrest. In the course Of the
evening crowd of demonstrators broke
the windows of the Petit Journal with
stones. The staff of the newspaper dis
persed the mob with a fire hose, but
stones were still thrown until the police
dispersed the crowd. M. Paul De
Foude, chief of the league of patriots,
and Marshal Colbert were placed under
arrest for refusing to quit the barracks
at Eruilly, where they had entered with
a returning regiment. There were other
demonstrations during the evening. Up
to midnight about two hundred arrests
had been made, most of the denonstra
tors being held as witnesses.
1870 a. MAT this hour the city is
perfectly quiet. The manifesto tions of
last evening gave no indication of gen.
eral feeling or appearance of the city
and at no time during the night exceps
at certain points on the boulevards and
in front of the Libre Parole office has
there been any intimati that the peo-
pie cared about the crisis through which
they were supposed to be passing. The
arrest of Mn. Dourelde and Marcel
Habert had a salutary effect 1t was on
direct order of M. Dupuy, who gave in
structions that they should be allowed
no further license. Dourelde was taken
for melting soldiers while returning to
the barracks near the cemetery, and NJ
Marcel-Habert for being mixed up in a
row in the Rue Montmartre. Among
those arrested were Comte DeChoisseul
M. DeHarcourt, M. Tallyrand and NJ
Cuverville, son of Admiral Cuverville.
Nearly all these taken into custody were
charged with assaulting the police or
uttering sedtious cries. Some Of the
rioters reached the depot with their
faces covered with blood and two police
men were seriously injured. M. De-
Soullades' theatrical invitation to Gen
eral Roget to march to the Elysee was
evidently pre-ararnged with view Of
securing nOtOriety.
