thorities at Oneida, despite thorough
search have been unable to find any clue

CHAFFFE SUPPORTS MILES.

Hs America Needs.
Lieutenant General Miles. acting Se.,-
rotary of War, in commenting today On
General Chafee's reply to General Cor
bins desfatch asking how. the American
light artillery compared SIN the arms
OF other armies in China. called atten-
tion to the features of the German bat
terry which General ChaHee said Is su-
perior 10 the American battery Gen
eral Cnaffee said: Powder charge in
case fred with trigger like pistol More
rapid result"
This is the feature calling for fixed
ammunition as against loose ammunf-
ton, said General Miles. with loose
ammunition the gun is fired Bith Ian
yard, while with ammunition already
fixed in the shells the gun can be fr5d at
a trigger like pistol, thus giving great
er rapidity
Our artillery should also have Axed am
munition and from General 4ChaGee's de-
spatch you will see he regards that fea-
ture in the German gun as superior to
ours.
General Miles also called attention to
the statement by General Chaaee that the
brake arrangement also better" He ex-
plained that the brake arrangement re-
TeTred TO the non-recofI feature by which
the gun Is kept IN firm position. Both
these features are to be included in the
gun which Captain Lewis proposed to eon-
struct. 1t is thought that By the adoption
Of such an improved type the United
states would have a field gun firing about
twenty shots q minute as compared with
less than FIVE shots minute by using the
present type Of gun.

THE CABINET MEETING.
Informal Discussion of the Army Re-
organization Biz.

OEEGnIzasfOA AltAAs
The Cabinet held bur a brief session to-
day, at which all the members. except Sec
retary Root, were present. Owing to his
absence the discussion Of the reorganiza-
tion bill which had been expected to he
taken I'D, was postponed until his return
message taken under consideration being
not yet sufficiently advanced Routine de-
partmental matters. therefore, occupied
most of the time.
The most interesting incident in connec-
ttion With today's session was the presence,
during part OF the time OF Chairman Hull
of the House Committee on Military At
fairs, who previously had held conference
with the President The inference drawn
from this incident was that the President
wished the Cabinet to learn Mr. Hulrs
views on the Army Reorganization bill. and
it was stated after the meeting that Mr.
Mckinley would consider this matter with
special reference 10 the situation in the
Philippines
1t is regl rded as highly probable that
the message will recommend the insertion
of a clause providing for the enlistment
of Filipino native regiments, differed by
whites The information which has been
received by the President regarding the
operations of the army in the islands all
goes to demonstrate the fact, it is said.
that United States soldiers carrying about
twenty pounds OF cartridges and an &ddi-
tional fifteen pounds Of equipment, are
unable to chase bands OF half-naked Ia
tives, who can sleep in the jungIes with
out covering and with very little danger
of contracting the tropical feyers. The
logical way to meet these conditions,
Army officers think, seems to be by the
adoption of the enemy's methods-in 9TH
er words. hghung natives with natives.

port from Constantfnople that the Turkish
Government has declined to grant recogni-
tion to the United States Consul at Har-

been a source of much difficulty

TO foreign representation in the districts

and other Governments an undisputed
ground on which to protest.
The american Government contends,
however, that it has the right to estab-
lish consu9ates in foreign countries IN
der the general treaty arrangements with
those countries, and that a refusal to
permit a consul to serve for any other
reason than his personal unsuitability is
