Ordered Discontinued - Command
Transferred to the Department OF
the East.
WASHINGTON, November 12.-The
following order was made public at the
War Department to-day:
WAR DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, November 9, 1900.
BY direction of the President, the
Department of Porto Rico will be dis
continued on December 10, 1900, and
the island of Porto Rico and the islands
and keys adjacent thereto, will be at
tached to the Department of East and
designated the district of Porto Rico.
The colonel, lieutenant colonel, head
quarters. band and one battalion of the
Eleventh infantry and the squadron of
the Fifth cavalry, now serving in Porto
Rico. will be relieved from duty there
in as soon as practicable and sent to
New York city whence they will pro-
coed to such stations as may be desig-
mated hereafter.
Brig. Gen. Geo. w. Davis, U. s. Vol
unteers, now in command of the De-
partment of Porto Rico, will upon the
discontinuance of that department, re-
pair to Manila, Philippine islands. and
report to the commanding general, di-
vision of the Philippines for assign
ment to duty as inspector general Of
that division.
Signed. ELdHU ROOT,
Sec. of War
BY command Of Lieut.. Gen. Miles.
H. c. CORBIN,
Adjutant General.
This order was issued after a full
cable consultation with Gov Allen, Of
Porto Rico, and after Gen. Davis, who
lately has been in command, had made
his recommendations 1t was the opin-
ion Of Gov. Allen that the reductions
OF the force in Porto Rico would be
eminently satisfactory TO the people of
the island and that the force TO be re-
tanned would be ample for all present
purposes. This order leaves in Porto
Rico the native regiment consisting Of
$50 men, battalion of the Eleventh
Infantry and batteries z and G OF the
Fifth artillery These troops viii be
under the command Of Lieut. Col James
a. Buchanan, who is now in command
of the native regiment. 1t is quite
probable that the troops which are or
dered from Porto Rico may in time be
sent TO the Philippines.

USE OF REGULAR ARMY
To Quiet Riots Favored by Senator
ScOtt-An Interesting Statement,
C0rrObOrative of Mr.. Bryan.

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November II.
Senator Nathan B. Scott, like Senator
Hawley, is a believer in the use of the
federal sololery to quell domestic riot
and in an interview in the Washing
ton Post Of to-day, corroborates Bry-
ans assertion that army posts will be
located near large cities to .overawe
discomfort.
The Senator, in advocating the in
crease of the army urges enlargement
of the artillery army. 1.-THE artillery
regiments" he is quoted as saying,
"can serve a double purpose. They
can care for the coast defense equip
ment and for the purpose of quelling
riots in the cities. They viii be every
bit as effective as infantry"
Senator and Mrs. Scott stopped over
in Washington on their way to Wheel
ing, where the Senator will look after
his business interests until the open
ing of Congress.
