Spanish government that Spanish laborers who
have gone TO Panama were grossly deceived and

finds that all European countries waking up to
the drain upon their labor supply caused by better
wages and prospects in America. and the govern

to transport coal for the Atlantic battleship

by firms shipping it in foreign bottoms This
company has the steamer Virginian. OF 1900
tons capacity and will receive IS a ton for
transporting coal to Magdalens Bay. San Fran
cisco or Mare Island.
The Virginian will be used in the Pacific SER
vice which makes it possible TO accept the
terms of the department. The Virginian's cargo
is less than 10 per cent Of the entire amount OF

change in the attitude of the other American
bidders over 90 per cent of the fuel must oa

troducer Of the bill appeared later and took his
place with the commission. Most of the questions
were put by Mr. DIN. although the members Of
the commission interrupted frequently to ask for
information.
Adjutant General Henry and Major General Pts
ter Indignantly denied the reports of the regular
army officers that the New York State troops were
not efficiently equipped. General Henry said that
some of the statements contained in the reports
absolutely false. and that he could account
for them only by the fact that of the guard
officers had not reported fully the equipment

nstment as a means OF improving the service. He
said that to-day man might be in the guard for
thirty years and have nothing to show for II.

the Third Brigade. comprising the 1st. ID and 10th
regiments. The general recommended that the
elective system for officers be done away with, be-
cause IL caused many factional fights and that
instead the officers be appointed after the organi-
zation had recommended two three men. He
also recommended central board TO control the
examinations in all brisades.
General Phster submitted his revised military
code. which, he said, based on the regular
army code, lie advocated the abolition Of the Gov
crnor's stan and recommended the appointment OF
a general staff. such directs the regular army.
