COAST ARTILLERY UP.
Plan to Separate 1t from Army
Discussed Here.

bill designed to change the present status OF
the coast artillery corps which is being prepared
for the next session of Congress has excited much
comment among the artillery officers around New
York Lieutenant Colonel Henry II. Ludlow, at
Fort Hamilton. said yesterday afternoon he had not
heard OF the plan to separate the coast artillery
from the rest OF the army and have the chief of
artillery stand in the same relation the Secre-
tary OF War that now held by the chief of staff
But in regard to the transfer of the coast az
tlery to the navy. which has been spoken Of
several times" said Colonel Ludlow. II believe
that Eine-tenths OF the officers would be strongly
opposed to It, The corps has always been a part
OF the army, and It's esprit de corps would be in
jured. believe, by the change; certainly at first
And you know that the efficiency OF an organiza-
ton like the coast artillery corps depends in
great part upon the spirit which binds IL together
There are many arguments however. in favor
OF the transfer continued Colonel Ludlow. The
coast artillery exists for the destruction OF the
warships OF hostile fleets. and has all the re-
sponsbility OF planting torpedo fields and firing
them on at the proper moments Then. too the
big guns OF the coast artillery are much more
similar in their mechanism to those OF the big bat
teships than TO the field artillery of the army"
A reporter asked the colonel where the officers OF
tho coast artillery would be trained If their CORPS
transferred to the navy.
AT West Point he replied. THE artillery
officers could have for the long courses
given in navigation at the Naval Academy. As for
your question about how the transferred force
would receive it's supplies and equipment the
navy's supply department could easily take care
If il. There would be trouble in that direction
though that point has been much emphasized by
the opponents Of the plan
1t IS known that the Secretary OF War has asked
Brigadier General Murray. the chief of artillery,
to devise some plan for the separation OF the coast
administration is expected to present TO Congress
a bill TO that effect next winter.

COLONEL E. s. DUDLEY ON THE ARMY.
Lack of Men Due to Poor Pay and Hard
Work, He Says,

Colonel Edgar 5. Dudley, judge advocate, L. 3.
A. and professor Of law at West Point, talked to
the members Of the Patria Club the first meet
ing OF the season at the Hotel Savoy last night
The Army and the Nation; The Relation of the
Army TO the People" lie noted the lack of re-
cruits for the regular army and the unusual fact
recently brought light that the graduating class
at West Point was seventy-three members short of
the regular complement
The condition III the regular army due he
thought. largely TO the inadequacy of pay. the
severity of service and other causes The pay in
the army for the enlisted man. he said, had not
been changed in thirty-four years.
The prejudice against standing army IN proper
ton to the extent and Importance Of the country
was i'll founded, he said. The soldier to-day he
said was well educated and well informed In his
way, and was just capable of good citizenship
as any one else. The army was maintained only
because It was necessary.
Never the necessity OF being prepared more
apparent than now" said the colonel War is
sure 10 TO unless IT is manifesty dangerous
TO attack us. The expense of being prepared for
war is greatly cheaper than war itself"

PEACE MEETING PLANS.
Discussed By Central american
DELEGATES Here.

The Central American delegates now in this city
awaiting the opening of the peace conference at
Washington were greatly surprised yesterday at
the cable dispatch from Nicaragua telling Of the
peace meeting held at mRpala between the presi-
dents OF Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador. Ex
President Bonilla OF Honduras said at the Waldorf
on thursday evening that he doubted the accuracy
OF the dispatches saying that the meeting OF the
presidents was to be held He had no official in
formation about il. Minister Corea Of Nicaragua
was as much in the dark
The three presidents who met were ZeiAya OF Nj
caragua, Davtua Of Honduras and Figueroa Of
Salvador They declared in favor of peace in Cen
trail America. which it had already been planned
the Washington conference should cement with a
treaty that would hold. II agreed also at ANA
pala 10 hold another conference TO follow the one
Washington. at which the five countries Of
Central America asked to have representative
The Amapala conference was called IN some
haste and without much previous announcement,
which has caused suspicion among Central Ameri-
cans here that Zeaya, who called the meeting. is
trying block the work OF the Washington con
ference, although Nicaragua will have delegates
there.
Jose Madriz one OF the Nicaragua delegates. ar
rived in this city yesterday from Managua. He
was formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs and is a
lawyer and author.
The president for the conference which opens
next week, has not yet been chosen. There
several candidates mentioned the pIace-in fact
each country would Ike OF their delegates %
preside and there is likely to be argument
before the question is settled as neither republic
wants 10 give the other the least advantage. The
most likely proceeding, and what appears 10 be
the simplest VIII be the selection Of the president
according TO alphabetical precedence, as was done
at the Vienna congress If this plan is carried out
the presidency will fall TO Luis Anderson Minister
OF Foreign Affairs OF Costa Rica. who is his coun-
trv's chief delegate. He is q leading lawyer in
Costa Rica and formerly professor Of law.
He also IS a political writer OF force and is
Of the strenuous type. SeTor Anderson is thirty
four years old and viii be the youngest OF the
delegates TO the conference.
The fact that Costa Rica IS not involved in any
of the controversies pending between the Central
American countries will be advanced a strong
argument in favor of making Sefor Anderson the
president Of the conference

NATIONAL GUARD INVESTIGATION.
Ton of Soap Left at Armory in Buffalo With
out an Order.

Buffalo. Nov. S.-When the Wainwright Ma
tional Guard investigation met o-day General
Samuel NJ WEIGH was questioned relative To a
wagonoad OF soap left at the armory Of the
s5th Regiment in 1899 OF 1900 General weIch
said about two thousand pounds Of soap which
had not been ordered had been left at the arm
ory About year later a man whom he did not
know called on him and said he could not get his
pay. He told him he could take il away as IL
had not been ordered. Witness never saw the
man again and never signed a voucher for the
soap. About one thousand pounds OF it had been
used and the rest was at the armory Wit
ness did not know who ordered the soap.
The remainder of the morning session was de-
voted to the expense of erecting and completing
the new 65th Regiment armory,. General Petit
bone testified that he did not think there was
any extravaganza in building the armory I
think. ne said, that what's in there simply fits
the building"
General Pettibone also said that he did no.
rescind resolution giving the supervisors Of
Erie County the power to advertise for and
award contracts because OF extravaganza on the
part Of the supervisors. Supervisor William E
Shifferens. when asked by Colonel Sanger II he
suspected graft in connection with the building
of the armory, replied Yes" and in reply to fur
ther questions said he believed there had been
extravagances in building the armory
