Government Is So Large That Compromise Is Probalilc-Conl Question Settling ItseK. WASHINGTON, Nov. C Contrary to the common understanding here, it ap pears that the draft of the Cuban reco procity treaty has not yet left Havana on its return to Washington, but Instead is now reposing in a pigeonhole In the desk of President Palma. The misunderstand ing as to the location of the treaty arose from a statement from Minister Squiers at Havana that he expectel the treaty to be sent the day following the sending ' of his message. The Cuban habits of pro crastination, rather than any disposition to actually refrain from entering Into treaty relations with the United States, are supposed to be the reason for delay. In view of the fact that the treaty has not yet come here, nor has Mr. Squiers had a look at it, it follows that the Unit ed States Government 5e officially Ignorant of the nature of the changes that the Cubans desire to make in the convention. Of course, generally, these are known to be connected with the increase of the re bate to be allowed on Cuban sugar and tobacco entering the United States, and there are indications that the Administra tion may be willing to yield slightly on this point, if no unreasonable delay Is ex hlblted In the negotiations, on the part of the Cubans. The rate of rebate proposed In the original convention is 20 per cent, and it is gathered that the Cubans want 50 per cent. This rate cannot be allowed, in view of the belief that Congress would certainly not sanction such a cut in du ties, but between these figures there is so wide a margin that there is room for com promise on a basis that might be accept able to either. side. The coaling station matter Is, for the time being, held In abeyance, the 10,000 tons of coal belonging to the United States Navy now lying in a warehouse at Trls- cornlafs. being diminished, according to the needs of the Navy In Gulf waters, so that the Cuban complaint of the exist ence of an American naval station In Ha van harbor is adjusting itself without friction, and, indeed, it Is said that the matter has not been officially mentioned lately.

Civil Service Commission. WASHINGTON. Nov. 6. President Roosevelt today began the transaction of business in the new executive offices ad joining the White House. The President was In his office early, but before he reached it the public reception-room was well filled with visitors. The President, however, was kept busy with Secretary Cortelyou until the arrival about 10:43 -o'clock, tUmoet simultaneously, of .Attorney-General Knox, Colonel Clayton ilc Mlchael, Postmaster of Philadelphia, and the members of the Civil Service Commis sion. The President greeted them to gether and after a few minutes' talk with Colonel McMichael, he had an extended consultation with the members of the commission. The President expressed to Colonel McMichael his gratification over the results of the election, saying that next to New York his principal interest was in the Keystone state. The members of the Civil Service Commission would not state the nature of their business, but it Is believed the charges of violation of civil service laws in Pennsylvania were discussed. The new office building of the President is very unpretentious. It Is one story of brick, painted white, and has three Roman dorlc columns at the entrance. In a general way, the severe classic style of architecture of .the whole house has been followed. Within, the space has been divided strictly with a view of the transaction of business. The entrance opens into a reception-room lighted from above by a glass dome. Directly behind this is the large room of Secretary Cor telyou. The" President's room Is in the southeast corner. It overlooks the White House lot, and commands a fine view of Arlington and the broad Potomac The -President's room Is separated from that of Secretary Cortelyou by a small private consultation-rom. On the north, it opens into the Cabinet-room. This wing communicates directly with the White House by mean3 of a walk under the old terrace, which was formerly the founda tion of the conservatory. The west side of the building is occupied by the execu tive clerks. The woodwork of the inter ior is dono entirely in white and produces a colonial effect. COAST PROTECTIOX LACKING. "Miles Recommends Better Fortillca tions for the Pacific. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. The annual re port of Lieutenant-General Miles, com mandlng the Army. Is a brief review of the reports that have been submitted to him by other officers. He Indorses the recommendation of General Brooke for a readjustment of the geographical limits of the different departments, with a view of equalizing conditions. General Miles calls attehtlon to the necessity of quar ters for troopS, saying that while hun dreds of thousands of dollars- are bein Epent for" quarters for cavalry, very little Is being used to afford shelter for artil lery, which is exposed to severe climates along the coasts. "These troops," says General Miles. "are required to be located adjacent to the fortifications, notwithstanding the ex posed positions of many of them, and I see no reason why buildings should not be properly constructed In time to be occu pied, when it is known for years exactly where and when they will be required. I also call attention to the incomplete con dition of the fortifications, especially on the Pacific Coast, where millions have been expended in engineering and ord nance work, and yet the commands have not been properly supplied with ammuni tion, electrical plants and other appliances essential to the effective use of these forti fications In actual warfare "The condition of the Indians is quite satisfactory, and there has been no dis turbance of Importance among them dur ing the last 12 -months. This Is accounted for principally by three reasons: "First, just and humane treatment of the Indians and the judicious manage ment of their affairs; second, their grad ual transition .from a condition of barbar ism to that of a semi-civilised people; and third, the close proximity of military garrisons, which arc always available in case of threatened disturbances. "This has been proved to be true by the fortitude, skill and heroism displayed In every serious campaign on every field of mortal combat wherever the Army has been engaged in any part of the world during the last four years. "During that time many changes have occurred, and the Army has been very largely increased.

Rear-Admiral Tylor. chief of the Bureau of Navigation, today made the following statement of the movements and objects of the proposed maneuvers In the Caribbean Sea next month: "The European and South Atlantic squadrons will combine at Trinidad the last week In November, and the North Atlantic squadron will arrive at Culebra about the same. time. "The search problem will follow, and will be completed about December 10, by which date the entire fleet will rendezvous at .Culebra. From December 10 to 19, the time will be occupied in perfecting the details of organization and in exercising. From December 19 to 29- the ships will be distributed among the various ports of the West Indies, for the purpose of giv ing liberty to the men, returning to Cule bra December 29. "After reassembling the fleet will en gage in exercises, maneuvers and target liring. directed by the commander-in-chief, the purposes of which are stated as follows: "To make the plans fpr mobilizing a large fleet a simple matter of routine; to engage In a more comprehensive search problem than was possible during the Summer maneuvers; In the, several squad rons to insure uniformity of routine and methods of progressive instructions; to develop the gunners b systematic target practice, ar.d to exercise the officers In tactical maneuvers of a large fleet." PUZZLE OVEH PRESIDENT'S FLAG. Coat of Arms Not tlie Same on Em Jjlems of Xary and Army. WASHINGTON. Nov. G. A question arose recently as to the correctness of the design of the coat of arms as displayed on the President's flag which has been in use in the Navy, for years. Attention was first called to the matter when a foreign attache remarked that it was strange that the Array and Navy should have two dif- the shield, while the Navy Depamenfs flag had seven red stripes and six white ones. The matter was referred to the President, but he sent it back to the de partment for decision. While Acting Sec retary Darling has not formally decided the matter, he inclines to follow the State Department. EVADES PRIZEFIGHTING RULING. War Department Prefers to Leave Subject to Post Commander. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. The War De partment is reluctant to commit itself on the .subject of prizefighUng in the Army. Some time ago the commanding General of the Department of the Mis souri requested a decision by the depart ment on the right of an enlisted man in the Army to participate, as a principal, in an athletic boxing contest. In reply he was informed that there are some sub jects as to which it is impossible for the War Department to prescribe a uniform rule, and that this was one of them. But, apart from the strict law of the case. It Is a matter of common Informa tion that local sentiment Is divided In respect to contests of the kind described, and this adds to the difficulty of framing a rule where there are no legal obstacles In the way of its preparation." There being no legal power In the de partment to establish a rule on the sub ject, the Acting Secretary of War decides that the question be left to the regulation of the post commander. Federals, who withdrew two years ago, went to the polls. The Republicans, he states, re-elected Degeteau' Commissioner to Washington, and re-elected 25 members of the Legislature. The Federals elected 10. and Sir ?.Iichacl Herbert have taken' up again the Bor.d treaty providing for lim ited reciprocity between tlsc United "Stateu and New Foundland. For Civil Service Reform. WASHINGTON. Nov. 6. In Its', annual report, the Civil Service Commission urges that Congress providefcr the reclassifi cation of the entire departmental service. The commission sajv; that until such re classification is made, it docs not feel justified in attempting to enforce any uni form system of regulations for promotion in the civil service. It urges that each utpartment adopt a system of promotions of its own, including examinations where advisable, which will bci-:t meet conditions within the 'department.
