ARMY MOBILIZATION.
Quick Movements of Our Troops
During the Recent War.
MARRIAGE Law IN The PHILIPPINES


Washington, Jan. 49, Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg has compiled some fig
ures as a basis of mortality calcula-
tons in the Spanish-.American war
which, incidentally, developed the in
terestng fact that the mobilization
OF the army during the Spanish
American war was accomplished in
only fraction of the time required
to assemble an equivalent number of
troops at the outbreak of the civil
war. In May, 1861, the main strength
of the union army was l6,16l. and in
one month it had increased to only
$3.50. In the first month of the
Spanish-American war the United
States army, starting at l63,126, had
increased before the close of the
month to 202,526. This is regarded as
remarkable feat of military organi-
cation, far surprising he best results
obtained by the British government.
Marriage Law IN the Philippines.
Washington, Jan. 80. - Secretary
Root yesterday received from Manila
copy of the marriage law laid down
by Gen. Otis. Up to the date\of this
order, December IS last, only Catholic
marriages were celebrated in the Phil
ippines or recognized as legal. To meet
the peculiar conditions in the islands
Gen. Otis laid down no specific cere-
mony, only providing that any estab-
lished form will suffice, providing
there is an open acknowledgment of
the marriage by the parties thereto.
The form of a certificate is published
and this may be attested by priest,
rector or Judge.

Washington, Jan. 3O,-Quartermas-
ter General l.udington has received Il
telegram from Agent Massey at la-
vana in regard to the work of col
lecting the remains of American SOL
dierw who have died in Cuba since
the Spanish war, with view of their
transportation to the United States
for reinterment. He says that the
work is finished in the provinces Of
Pinar del Rio, Havana and Matanzas
and that there are l29 bodies at Iris
coma and nine at Matanzas. Burial
parties are now working on the north
coast of Cienfuegos.
Coast and Geodstic survey Report.
Washington, Jan. 80. In answer to
a senate resolution Secretary Gage
yesterday sent to the senate report
upon the coast and geodetic survey,
with special reference to the new is
land possessions of the United States.
He says the resources of the surveyor
are inadequate to complete the sur
vey of Hawaii and Porto Rico. He
says the problems OF the Philippines
are much larger and recommends the
establishment of a sub-office at Ma
Mia.
