TAFT WANTS CABLE
 FOR PANAMA CANAL
HE OBJECTS TO REDUCING THE CAVALRY BRANCH OF THE ARMY AND ADDING IT TO THE ARTILLERY.

Washington. March 2S.-Secretary Taft who was before the Senate committee on military affairs explaining items in the army appropriation bill spoke at some length concerning the necessity for a military cable at Panama, by way Of Key West, Porto Rico and Guatanamo
 Such a cable is provided for in the pending bill by an appropriation of $92I,- 600. Speaking of the requirements, the Secretary said that for a long time 1t cost the government 54 cents word on isthmian messages by the line through Mexico and Costa Riea, although the cost now has been decreased to % cents word He said that if the construction of the canal was left with the war de- partment the urgent need would continue for eight or ten years and probably more. He also asked that provision for a cable ship to be used in coast defenses which was struck out of the bill by the House, be restored.
 Senator Scott asked Secretary Taft for his opinion concerning the wisdom of reducing the cavalry branch of the army. five regiments and adding this force to the artillery The Senator took the po- sition that if the United States engages in a war it's battles will be on the de- fensive and directed against invasion Secretary Taft opposed the reduction of the cavalry arm on the ground that it requires two years or more to equip and train this force He also took issue with Senator Scott on his statement that this country would take the offensive. He stated tha every one in Congress be- lieved in upholdng he Monroe doctrine, and that the only differences of opinion were to the meaning of this doctrine Senator Pettus said that everyone agreed that the old Monroe doctrine should be enforced In accepting this definition of his remarks Secretary Taft said that if the army was made up on the belief that it was never going outside the bounda- ries of the United States then the Mon roe doctrine meant nothing

 Below Is letter from General Wheel CTS daughter:
 Washington, D. C., March 22, 19O6 Col, J. l.. Darby, Birmingham, Ala: My Dear Sir: Owing to some unfortu- nate delay. your kind letter enclosing the beautiful and touching resolutions of Camp Hardee, did not reach me until this morning. This l very much regret, as 1t deprived us of the privilege of prompt ly sending our grateful acknowledgement Our hearts are deeply touched by these expressions from my fathers fellow sol- diers.
 The wish of the people of his own state to erect an equestrian monument Is truly q lovely tribute. and l can not put into words the earnest appreciation felt by his children. A monument in Ala bama would be a great qualification to us, and | can think of nothing that would be so appropriate as an equestrian statue.
 My sisters and myself are going in a few days to our home at Wheeler, Ala. l think Ira Collins (photographer) of Huntsville, has a photograph of my father on horseback, and 1 have asked him to send you one.
 My brother and sisters unite with me in most earnest interest and gratitude
 Faithfully yours,
