AN INCREASED ARTILLERY
Chairman Hull‘s Plan Includes Hospital
Corps of 3,000 Men. It Differs W'idcly
from that of Gen. Miles. Miles’ Plan
Regarded too Elaborate.
Washington, D. C. Dec. 8.——Repr_e-
sentative Hull, chairman of the House
committee on military affairs, has
introduced his. bill providing for the
reorganization of the army on a. peace
footing of one hundred thousand
men.
The bill was diafted by Mr. Hull in
confeience with officers of the war
department, and differs radically from
the plan submitted Tuesday by MajOr
General Miles to Secretary of War _Al
gei.
The principal feature of the bill is
the fact that the increase is rather in
the strength of the companies than in
the number of the regiments. Provis-
ion is made for the appointment of
officers from civil life and from the
volunteer army. '
A lieutenant general is named as the
commanding oflicer of the army. The
bill provides for six majo1 generals
and twelve brigadier generals of the
line.
The greatest inc1ease in the number
of regiments is in the artillery, of.
which forty—two regiments are provid-
ed. The artillery corps is to have a
brigadier general, two colonels and
fourteen lieutenant colonels.
To do away with the. difficulty in
handling volunteer artillery a suffi—
cient number of regiments in this
branch- of the regular service are pro~
vided in skeleton form in which enough
men can he enlisted in case of war
to bring the regiments to their full
strength.
The opposite principle is followed
with the 111.1antry.In this branch Lt
is intended to keep the regiments on
a war foo-ting all the time, the num-
be1 of enlisted men being increased ii
145 for each company.
In case of war the regular army with
the full quota of trained men woul‘l
be called upon to form the first lint:
of defence, behind which the volunteer:
would form the secondline.
The infantry is increased by five
regiments and the cavalry by two reg-
imen-ts. , __
The full strengthmhf this army is ap-
proximately one hundred thousand
men and officers.
One of the principal features of this
new army is to be the hospital cows,
in which there is to be a brigadier
general, ten colonels, twenty lieutenant
colonels, one hundred and ten majors,
and three hundred and sixty assistant
surgeons.
There are to be three thousand hos—
pital men with the necessary non-com—
missioned officers. ,
Chairman Hull said that he had read
General Miles's plan of reorganization
and was of the opinion that it was
too elaborate in 'the matter of rank to
receive the assent of Congress.
General Miles’s plan of army reor—
ganization was introduced in the Sen-
ate by Chairman Hawley of the mili-
tary affairs committee.
It is likewise on a. basis of one.
hundred thousand men, divided as fol-
lows:
Fifteen regiments of cavalry, of one
of sea coast artillery, of twelve hun—
dred men; two regiments of engineers.
of one thousand men each, and fifty
regiments of infantry, containing
twelve hundred men each.
The bill proposes to raise the grade
of the general in command of the army
to that of a full fledged general.
It also provides for two lieutenant
generals, six major generals of in-
fantry. one major general of cavalry,
one major general of artillery, eighteen
brigadier generals of infantry and two
each of cavalry and antillery.

Uproar in Hungary.
Budapest, Dec. 8.—In the lower house
of the Hungarian diet yesterday the
letter of Dr. D. de Szilagyi, president
of the Chamber of Deputies, announc- l
lng his resignation. was read and Dr. I
L. Lang, one of the vice presidents,
personally announced his resignation. l
Francis Kossuth, in behalf of his'
party, and Palonyi for the Independ- l
ents, proposed that no cogniance brl
taken of Dr. Szilagyi’s resignation.
When the premier, Baron Bannfy,l
arose to reply, for a time his remarks ]
were inaudible, owing to the great up-
roar. .
Finally the premier denied that the
government desired Dr. Szilagyi to
make illegal use of the rules of the
house and employ force.
A resolution was adopted requesting
Dr. Szilagyi to withdraw his resigna-
tion.

ATTORNEY GENERAL’“ 0 REPORT.
Tells of Prize Vessels and Reconnnends
Many Changes in Alaska.
. ._.._ - _-__.
Washington, D. (3..., Dec. 8.—Attorney ;
General G1iggs' he 3 submitted to Con-
gress his annual report:
“The war revenue act, ” he says, “has
been especially productive of doubtful
questions, and many instances of ad‘
vice and direction to the commissioner
of internal revenue relative to differ-
ent features of that statute will be
found in the report or that officer.
“Very soon after the outbreak of- the
war with Spain the department was
called upon to take charge of legal pro-
ceedings for the condemnation of ves-
sels and cargoes captured by our nav"
as prizes and brought into our. 3150sz
for adjudication.
~.“As early as April 22 th0, Spanish
vessels—the Beuna Ventura and the
~Pedro~were so taken, and thereafter
similar captures were made by our
warships during the progress of the
war until a total of fifty-six vessels
were brought into various ports and
libeled as prizes. 01' this number fifty
were taken to Key West, within the
jurisdiction of the southern district of?
F10rida’;foui weie taken to Charles~
ton, one to Savannah and one to New
York. vs - ‘
“All but eight of the fifty cas cs
brought in. 'the Florida district have
been heard and decided, those still un-
decided being cases of capture during
the later stages of the war.
“The amount realiZed from the sale
of captured vessels and cargoes con-
demned as prizes is $71,034. In ten
cases appeals have been taken on the
part of the claimants to the United
States supreme court and are pend-
ing.
,.“The attention of Congress is called
to-the necessity of providing a more
complete and adequate form of gov-
ernment for Alaska. The efforts to
administer justice and maintain order
in the territory, with the large acces—
sions of population that have recently
gone into that region, restricted by
the very limited machinery'provided
for Alaska in its‘ original sparsely pop-
ulated condition, are attended with
great difficulty and embarrassment.
“The machinery of justice is entirely
inadequate. There should be an in-
crease in the number of judges, the
number of United States commission-
e1s,and United States district attor—
neys
“Much complaint arises from the op
erations of the fee system in connec-
tion with the office ofénkUnited States
commissioner. I recommend that a
change in the method of compensating
these officers be made5 56 that their
compensation shall be paid entirely
by a fixed salary, and all fees covered
into the treasury."
EM Havana. in a Terrible Shape.
Washington, D. 0., Dec. 8'.—Advice9
received by officers of the war depart-
ment give a terrible picture of the sani-
tary conditions in Havana. The state—
ment is made that 'the death rate is
higher for the last month than for any
preceding period in twelve months, the
months of the war not included.
The condition of'the streets in the
poorer sections is said to be shock-
ing.
Emphasis is placed on the danger to
the United States troops, who will be
landed scon, but it is said that the
camps outside of Havana have been
well selected and fitted up with due
care for the health of the troops.
It is feai ed that any troops quarter-
ed inIHavana will soon be in great
peril.
it is suggestefiy one of the officials
that if permission could be gotten to
begin the uholesale cleaning of the
city now, much danger could be aver-
ted.
Santiago has been helped some in
this way, but even there the illness is
alarming.
Joint High Commission.
Washington, D. C.‘, Dec. 8.—-The joint
high commission has been obliged to
rearrange its_sessions, making them
from 9.30 to 11.30 a. m.,‘ daily, in order
to permit Senators Fairbanks, Repub-
lican of Indiana, and Faulkner, Demo-,51
crat of West irginia, and Reeresenta-
Republican of Maine,
who are members of the confinission,
to‘ attend to their congressional du-
- ties.
After yesterday’ 5 session; it was said
that the outlook for concluding a
treaty was fairly geod, although it
was not yet certain that such a result
. could be brought about.
Choate Said to Be the Man.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 8.——The Am-
bassadorship to the court of St. James
has been offered to Joseph H. Ch'oate,
; and he will probably accept.
This statement is made by a. senator
’ who is very close to the president, and
who is in a. position to know.
While it is known that Senator Platt
is unfriendly toward Mr. Choate, his
. friends assert that he will not make
: serious objection to any New Yorker
: selected by the president.
To Change J ury System.
'Exeter, N. H., Dec. 8.-—At the pres-
: quterm of the law court. a. committee
appointed to recommend changes in
the jury system has advised that the
1 selection of jurymen be left to a. board
‘ of jury selectors to be appointed by the
supreme court.
A bill embodying this idea has been
drafted and will be presented to the
next legislature.
Th-- Connecticut Milltia.
New Haven, Conn'., Dec. 8.-—Governor
Lounsbury yesterday appointed as ad-
jutant general of the state militia Lou-
is N. Van Keuren of Bridgeport, now
quartermaster general.
A strong effort to secure the reap-
pointment of Adjutant General Haven,
who has had thirty-two years of mili-
tary service, failed.
The Chase Conlet.
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 8.——A new
computation at Yale University brings
the Chase comet to perihelion 011 Janu—
ary 4, 1899.
Its nearest point to the earth will
be one hundred and thirty-five million~
