new Cuban congress assembled in this
city at noon Wednesday, marking the be-
city at noon Wednesday. marking the be-
ginning of renewed Cuban independence
after more than two years of American

a law providing for the arbitration Of
disputes between capital and labor and
the establishment of cock fighting as a

ARMY NOW FIT TO
FIGHT ANY POWER
is ALMOST TO MAXIMUM SIZE.
AND WITHIN SHORT WHILE
RECRUITING STATIONS MUST
CLOSE DOORS TO APPLICANTS.

Within the next year. probably within
few months, the recruiting stations
the country will close their
doors to all applicants, but formersoldiers
bent on re-enlisting. For the first time
since 1893 the army has almost reached
the limit of its authorized size. By order
of the president, issued October Is, 1t can
not exceed in number S7,724 officers and
men; and at that time. the strength OF
the army was rs, 16S officers and men. Since
then the recruiting has been the briskest
in the history of the army and now Uncle
Sans khaki forces stand in the unusual,
almost unprecedented condition, of be-
ing almost on the heels of the prescribed
maximum size.
When the recruiting stations do close
it will mark a sort of epoch In
the army. Not since 1898 has such a thing
ferent from what they are now, for the
simple reason that the maximum limit
regarding the size OF the army was much
smaller than IT has ever been before.
Best Condition In History
Just now, the army of the United States
is in the best condition in its history. Its
total strength is in excess of $1,000 men
and officers, the fiber OF its soldiers is
finer and in every way 1t is on higher
plane. 1t is a fit match for any world
power now. With its full, force almost
attained. 1t can now measure up shoulder
to shoulder with the powers that rune
the world, and present an army that is
in keeping with it's navy.

result Of another explosion at the Lick
Branch mine, at switchback, about 20
miles from here, between 50 and 100
miners were killed at $50 o'clock this

creased, as from ESQ to 800 miners were
at work at the. time and it had not been
ascertained, shortly before noon, how
many had survived.
On December %. last. an explosion oc-

time, had been regarded as a model mine.
On that occasion the cause was not as

Mine Declared Safe.
The last body in connection with that
explosion was brought to the surface only
last Friday. after which the state mine
inspector declared that the mine was
again safe and that work could be re-
sumed.
The majority of the miners who were
engaged to resume work at the mine
were Americans. with a few foreigners
and some colored workers as laborers. II
was stated that the mine was examined
early today before the new shift vent to
work and that 1t was said to be perfectly
safe.

SNOW STORM TIES UP
TRAFFIC IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Jan. H.-With continued
snowfall until an early hour this morning
when the flakes ceased to fall, tempo
rarily at least, New York prepared for
discomfort on street and sidewalks, de-
layed and interrupted schedules on street
cars and suburban transit lines and hard
work for the street cleaning departments.
William Edwards, the new street clean
ing commissioner, and former Princeton
football star announced last night that
unless the snow attained a depth of 8
inches, contractors would not be called
upon to clear the streets, but it was
evident that the covering on the ground
this morning reached or exceeded this
depth and that 5000 men or more would
be busy throughout the day with shovels
and carts.
Broadway, streets near the ferries and
bridges, Fifth avenue and the shopping
districts received first attention and be-
fore dawn an army of workmen were busy
at work.
Although all transportation lines were
more or less hit by the storm no seric us
tie-up ha soccurred. Commuters were a
little late in reaching the city, but the
fall of snow was not sufficient to block
traffic to any great extent.
Hundreds of destitute and homeless
were sheltered by the charity depart
ment and various charitable institutions
during the night, and at most OF these
places hot rolls and coffee were served
this morning.
So many persons applied for shelter at
the charities bureau in East Twenty-sixth
street, that It was found necessary to
convert the steamer Thomas p. Bren-
nan, of the department into a temporary
floating place of refuge. One hundred
and fifty men found place to sleep on
the vessel.
After attending to scores who were in
iured by falls during the night the hos-
pitals began today receiving additional
victims of various street accidents caused
by slippery pavements.
