General Feeling of Unrest Throughout
Macedonia.
LONDON, April AIN connection with
the collision between the Turkish and
Bulgarian frontier guards at Kozyl
Agob, between Lamboli and Adrian
ople, a correspondent in Macedonia
writes to The Pail Mall Gazette con-
cerning the seething condition in the
Balkans. He says: .
"Grave consequences cannot be de-
ferred much longer. The whole province
is armed and matters are rapidly drift
ing into open revolution. The people
are drilling for the coming struggle and
the country is virtually in state of
siege. Turkish troops have been
pouring into most of the dis
turbed districts, concentrating chiefly
in the north, and reinforcements
are arriving daily. Detachments guard
the Oriental railway from Salonica to
the Servian border, and the garrison
towns are packed with soldiers. There
is widespread impression throughout
the land that momentous events are i'm
pending. There is general feeling of
unrest everywhere, trade is at an abso.
lutte standstill and the Ottomans are
preparing in deadly earnest because they
are convinced that Bulgaria is at the
bottom of the trouble in Macedonia, and
will certainly actively support the ex.
pected rising, encouraged by Russian in
flucnce. It is estimated that 100, 900 men
are under arms, ready for action in the
immediate repression of the rebellion.

CUBAN ASSEMBLY VOTES TO DIS

Turned Over to General Brooke-Little
Opposition STANDARDIZATION to Go Out

for to Administration Taken WIN
Hasten tho Work OF Reconstruction ON
the leland.
HAVANA, April 5.-The Cuban as
sembly has voted to disband the Cuban
army and dissolve. The vote was 81 in
favor against opposed. The muster
rolls were left in the possession of the
executive committee of the assembly
who will facilitate the preparation Of
copies for Governor General Brooke.
The final session Of the assembly
lasted four hours and was calm and dis
passionate. After the motion to dis
band the army was carried the assem-
bly, entered upon the details and
methods of disbandment. A new ex-
ecutive committee was appointed to at
tend to the routine work and this COM
mittee will supply to General Brooke
the copies of the Cuban muster rolls.
Salvador Cisneros of Puerto Principe,
who was chosen president of the Cuban
republic at the meeting of the provin-
cial delegates at Puerto Principe Sept.
%, 1895, and was ultimately succeeded
by Senor Bartolomo Masso, was the
only member to vote against the resolu-
tions to disband and to dissolve. To the
very last he declared that, in any event,
the resolution to dissolve was unconsti-
tutional and that he would never give
up his position until new assembly
had been elected.
The resolution adopted calls for the
disbanding of the army with pernis-
sion to the soldiers to accept money
from the United States. The various
amendments had to do with the details

Says Army Beef smelled Like an Em.
bslmed Cadaver.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The court of
inquiry examined DR.. DAILY in regard to
the character Of beef furnished to the
army during the late war. He adhered
to his former statement, paid his re-
spects to the war investigating commits
sion and reiterated that the beef smelled
like cadaver that had been embalmed.
In a cross-examination by Colonel
Davis, asked if he was still Us much
convinced as when he made his report
of the quality Of the beef, DR.. Daily
said:
II am stronger in my convictions
than ever was, from the unsolicited
evidence that has come to me since the
report was made.
"No matter what authority says these
chemicals are safe, they are not safe, {"
said DR.. DAILY emphatically.
DR.. Nioodemus of Philadelphia, who
saw service in Porto Rico, corroborated
this testimony, comparing the smell Of
of tho beef to the odor about dissect-
ing room.
The day brought out proposition
from General Miles to supply the court
with the names of q large number of
witnesses and stating that in February
he had offered the names of l47 officers
as willing to testify, but the court had

WASHINGTON, April eff General
Otis is maturing plans for another cam

press dispatches from Manila, he has
not so informed the war department.
In fact the general has not thought it
needful to communicate with the de-

be necessary to send troops against the
insurgents who have gathered at Cal
umpit in order to make the authority OF
the United States more secure, and for
the effect upon the natives, yet it is not

Inspector Breokinridge Gives His Opinion

NEW YORK, April 5.-Inspector Gen.
eral j. G. Breckinridge, who has just re.
turned from Porto Rico. is quoted in q
World interview as saying:
ut is my opinion that the govern.
ment intended to furnish the American
troops with food the like of which had
been never seen by the army of any
country. Think that the contractors,

"The canned roast beef was largely
unfit for use. It had no nutrition. The
corned beef was not bad at all.
II put some of the canned roast beef
in my saddle bags and carried it over
to General Lawton's headquarters. I
gave it to one of the staff officers and
remarked to him: Here is treat for
you.' He at once opened one of the
cans and the appearance of the food
and the odor emitted nauseated him."

Work of Reconstruction Can Now Pro-
coed More Rapidly.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The news of
the Cuban assembly's vote for imme-
diate dissolution and disbandment of
the army was received here with relief
and qualification. The prolonged strug-
gle over the payment Of the Cuban
army had begun to exhaust the patience
of the authorities here. The admins
tration now looks for more rapid prog
ress in the work of reconstruction of the
island and less difficulty in instituting
reforms generally.
The vote, 81 to ], shows the lack of
quorum on the basis Of the original Or
ganization of 48 members, but the ap-
parent insignidcance of this is weakened
by the fact that numerous members of
the assembly left it without ceremony
on account of it's attitude.

crime, but it was not allowed in the
district court and the attorney appealed.

MANILA, April 5.-The insurgents are
massing strong forces north Of Calum-
pit, about five and one-half miles north
west of Malolos, and, according to the
observations Of the accommodating par
ties, they have fine intrenchments there.
1t is expected that hard fighting will
be necessary to dislodge them at that
point and at San Fernando, where Ag-
uinaldo is supposed to be. Large rivers
strengthen both positions.

MANILA, April 5.-General MacAr-
thur reconnoitered during the morning
with the Montana regiment, the Fourth

fact that there are fully 1000 rebels,
armed with Msuser rifles, preparing for
defense. Shots wero exchanged and
one of the Montana regiment was killed
and two were wounded, but there was
no engagement.
Later in the day General Macarthur
moved northward, as the water supply
of Malolos is inadequate.

Volunteers In the Philippines Cannot Be
Spared Vet.
WASHINGTON, April Sit was stated
at the war department during the day
that the provision of the army law al
lowing the retention for five or six
months of the volunteers in the Philip
pines had been construed to mean the
officers as we'll us the men and that the
volunteer organizations would be re-
tanned just as they now exist. General
Otis was given large plenary powers in
the matter, but was instructed by cable
to send all sick and wounded home, as
we'll as volunteers who had exceptional
reasons why they should return, such as
the support Of families and the loss of
property by reason of their absence.
General Otis will decide such questions
on their merits. The volunteers in the
Philippines will not be mustered out
until they can be spared, and the pres
ence there of these organizations, the
war department believes, makes it un-
necessary to organize the provisional
army of 85, 600 allowed under the army
