Adi't General Corbin's Report.

The annual report of Major General
Henry c. Corbin, adjutant general OF
the Army, deals with every feature Of
the Army and begins with a statement
showing how the Army is to be reduced
by December I to 6o2oo men, of which
2,877 belong to the staff departments.
The report shows that during the fiscal
year there were IS officers killed in &C
ton or died of wounds and disease, Fl
resigned and 68 retired. Of the enlisted
men 1927 Here killed or died of wounds
or disease, $500 were discharged on
the expiration of service, 5,6o8 were dis
charged for disability OF dismissed by
order of court-martial, 1867 deserted, 2
were missing and 2o3 retired.
General Corbin, in calling attention to
his former recommendation that the
rank and pay of military attaches abroad
should be increased, suggests that re-
tired officers of high rank might be Sc
lected for this service While the num-
Der of attaches has been decreased, the
service has improved because of the re-
ciprocal relations that have been estab-
lished with the war departments of the
several governments WllClo ohlNelo an
stationed. He cites the two cases where
the military attacbe at Paris secured the
model of the Lebel rifle and the French
saddle from the French government.
General Corbin discusses the various
schools of the Army. and points out the
advantages that will accrue through
them.
In reviewing the reports OF the officers
who participated in the army and navy
maneuvers last September General Cor
bin says that much valuable information
was acquired.
He strongly recommends that similar
exercises be conducted annually and
made to embrace each year new theater
of operations, so that the benefit may be
shared by the different garriSons in the
several fields of defense.

FINANCES IN BAD SHAPE.
Cuban Exports and Imports Decrease-Cut-
ting Down Expences.

Havana (SpccialD The preamble to
the budget as sent to the Senate is now
published. In it President Palma says
that during the first half OF 1902 the
Cuban imports decreased $I,7oo,o 900,
compared with the same period in
1901. This was a decrease OF per
cent The exports decreased $I2,
ooo or % per cent This decrease was
due to the lower price OF sugar and
the smaller amount exported.
The President estimates the value OF
the crop OF 1902 at So, 900, 900 less than
that OF 1901. He says that the surplus,
as shown in the budget, will be need
ed to pay the cost of an increase in
the artillery, the cost OF the municipal
courts and interest and sinking fund
on the loan that is awaiting the appro-
val of Congress.
This is the lowest budget since 1850,
and it can be reduced rs per cent. as
soon as municipal and provincial laws
are made enabling the municipalities
and provinces to pay their own eX-
penses President Palma makes no
reference 10 payment Of the army in his
message. and only refers incidentally
10 the loan in the preamble to the
budget.

Prize Fights In the Army.

The War Department is reluctant to
commit itself on the subject OF prize
fighting in the army.
Some time ago the commanding
general OF the Department OF Missouri
asked whether an enlisted man in the
army had a right to take part as prin-
cipal in an athletic contest He was
informed that there are some subjects
as to which il is impossible for the
War Department to prescribe a uni
form rule. and this is one OF them.
But apart from the strict law in the
case it is matter OF common lnfor-
nation that local sentiment is divided
in respect to contests OF the kind de
Scrbed and this adds to the difficulty
OF framing a rule, were there no legal
obstacles in the way of its preparation"
There being no legal power in the
Department to establish rule OH the
subject the acting Secretary OF War
decides that the question presented be
left to the regulations OF the post COM
r,ander.

islands have been satisfactory They
now have civil government almost every

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Rural Free Delivery Service.

The annual gross cost of complete
rural free delivery service throughout
the United States will approximate $24,-
1000. according to the annual report
First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne received from August w.
Machen. the general superintendent OF
the service. The remaining 100000
souare miles not now covered by rural
free delivery service, according to the
report, will require the employment of
10000 or $1,000 carriers in addition to
those now employed, making the entire
force of carriers when the extension OF
the service is completed, within the next
three years, 10000. After this extern
sion is completed the annual rate of in
crease in the appropriations is expected
not to exceed 8 or 9 per cent, the rate
maintained in other branches of the
postal service.
To extend the service $4,000 routes a
wear until it becomes universal, the re-
bort says, will require such largely in
creased appropriations that the annual
postal deficits for the ensuing two or
three years will probably reach S8,ooo,ooo
or $4,000 900, if not more: but once the
service is completed the additional
revenue derived will soon reduce the
deficits to present figures, if not entirely
wipe them out.
During the year 1902, Il, 4o3 petitions
for the service were filed, making
total on July last OF 22,646, which ex-
ceeded by over 2,coo the total number
during the preceding four years. Since
July petitions received have averaged
over 600 a month. With the amount re-
cuired for routes to begin December I,
the entire appropriation has been abb
sorbed, leaving on December I fully
LOO routes for which there is 10 ap-
preparation available This number
probably will be increased by January
to at least 2,5oo Mr.. Wynne and Mr..
Machen say that to comply with the de.
mands of the people and of members OF
Congress the department will require all
additional appropriation otherwise fur
Their establishment of the service will be
deferred until July next. If these ad,,
ditional funds are granted, 5000 rural
free delivery letter-carriers will be in
active service by May I.
