Army
Reform with the Reorganization
of the Spanish Army on
Modern Lines.

MADRID, Jan. 22.-Army reform,
with the reorganization Of the Span
ish army on modern lines. now stands
an excellent chance Of being carried
out by the Cortes, aroused by the les
sons of the present war. General
Luque, the war minister, has proposed
such a reform since 1906. He regards
the formation of a general staff to be
of first Importance. To save time,
this has just been done by royal de-
cree. Then comes thu task Of reduc-
ing the enormous number of officers,
particularly generals, with whom
Spain's army is overstocked. This is
q delicate problem, and one sure to
cause a great deal of jealousy and
bitterness. Reforms in administers
ton and equipment will follow.

contract to build the court house for
ninety pounds. George Jackson was
accepted as his security for 1870.
Note: The pound in use was the

ty. This led to a law suit and long
vexatious legal proceedings before a

night Just before their entrance dur
ing the second act of ''Gotterdam-
merung" Cleofonte Campanini, gem
eral director. refused to meet their de-
mands and the opera proceeded with
out the male chorus. The strikers said
they were unable to live on their SAL
aries. Campanini said they were paid
as much as the chorus in the Metro

promised bonus of $40 each at the
close of the season six weeks hence.
The men complained that they re-

officials of the company announced that
the chorus would be recruited during
the week from New York and Boston:
and that in the meantime operas wouio
be given without the male chorus.
