S.-A special to the Herald from Washington say: Army officer are discussing the prop osition fur a colonial army. "Th proposition for a colonial army," said Lieutenant-General Miles, "if de veloped properly, would seem to have advantages. The Idea la not an entire ly new one. as our present volunteer force of 35.000 men was enlisted ex clusively for service in the Philippines, and the pending army reorganisation bill provides for an increase in the army at the president's discretion, to meet the prewnt emergency In those Islands or any other Incident that may arise, "It seems, however, that the trouble in the Philippines is not of as tempor ary a character as has been predicted. In view of this it might be well to mode an army somewhat after Eng land's Indian army, where the natives of India are enlisted and made to do excellent police and campaign work." Adjutant-General Corbin pointed out that the suggestions for a colonial army are In line with the policy which will be observed by the war depart ment. "A man," said General Cor bin, "will be enlisted for service In any part of the country or In any one of our dependencies he may select. If he desires to serve In the Philippines he will be enlisted for a regiment serv ing there; if for Cuba, for a regiment serving In Cuba; if for New York har bor, for a regiment serving at Gov ernor's Island or Fort Hamilton. "The department will be glad to dis charge an enlisted man after his en listment has expired in the Philippines, If he si wishes, and in order that he may be In a position financially to en tire In business will pay to him the sum which would be required to de fray his transportation and mess ex ponas to the United States. Arliona nd New Mexico were settled by men discharged frm the army in those ter ritories after their enlistments had ex pired." Inspector-General Rreckenrtdge said: "I am In favor of an army the six of which shall be based upon Lieutenant Oeneral Miles' recommendation of one soldier fir every thousand Inhabitants of the United States." Senator Hawley, chairman of the senate committee on military affairs, said: "Precisely what should be done must depend upon current events. We are told that in Cuba and Porto Rico we can organize a veiy considerable and re liable native force, but to what extent this can be done In the Philippines is very Indefinite. There ou?hl not to be any hesitation whatever as to our duty of establishing a very con siderable standing army." REFUSES TO PAY TAXES. Muss Antory Demands Suffrage as Due Her as a Taxpayer. ROCHESTER, N. Y.. Jan. l.-The la test development In the woman suf frage fight, begun over a quarter of a century ago when Susan B. Anthony and her sister, Mary S. Anthony, were arrested and fined.

Different Parties of Constitutional Con vention Submit Diverse Reso lution. HAVANA. Jan. J.-Th Cuban con- stttutional convention Is considering two promulgations of the future rela tions between Cuba and the United Slates. On of these affirms, in the first place, an acceptance of the Mon roe doctrine and the establishment of friendly relations with all nations, to gether with a resolution to proceed In all eases In complete accord with the United States, In the second place It proves to put at the dl?osal of the United Slates a portion of the stiore of any by of the north coast and of two bays on the south const for naval stations, to gether with concessions sufficient l ' tent for the purpose of defense and sanitation. . In the third place. It declares that Cuba will place herself on a war foot ing to help the United State In case such asslslance fenould be needed, while a fourth proviso Is an amplification of the first, second and third. The other promulgation contem dUus: First That the, convention Is vested with authority only to convene. Second Not having been granted leg islative functions, ;he convention can not arrange the basis of future rela tions. Third Nevertheless, should Washing tan desire such a discussion, the con vention la wilting to discus and agree upon an arrangement of mutual rela tion. Fourth The aspirations of the con vention are merely lo consolidate the country for re-contruction. Its ener gies are directed toward supporting the avowed policy of the United States, to which Cuba Is bound by Indestructible ties of gratitude, said policy being .bas ed upon the unequivocal preservation of liberty and independence through the American continent. The former promulgation embodies the desires of the delegates friendly to the United States. The latter Is a coun tercheck to the extremists. It Is con sidered that the former Is likely to carry. s PACIFIC MAIL'S FIGHT. After January !4th Southern Taciflc Instead of Panama Railroad Will Handle It New York Business. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. S.-After January Stth the Pacific Mail I to handle all it business between Central American and Mexican Pacific points and New York and Europe by the way of San Francisco and the. Southern Pa cific's New Orleans route. When ex tensive wharf facilities are completed at Guaymas, part of the business will be ont via that port and the Sunset rout. Thla new departure by the Pacific Mall Is due to It quarrel with the Panama railroad. It I admitted bv both side that ll proi-pect for a set tlement of the fight have vanished. To aid It In it fight for Central American and Mexican business, th Panama rUroad ha enlisted the ser vice of the Pacific Steam and th Chilean Navigation companies.

They also receive ubsldle from e eral Central American states. Pacific Mall official say that the mall steamer will continue to run to Panama, making all the old port of call and several new ports In addition. They say the Taclflc Mall Is bound lo lose considerable business from Central America and Mexico, 9 per cent of which consists of coffee shipments to the Atlantic seabonrd and Europe, but they hope to h ld a fair share of th traffic by quoting rate via thl port in conn-ctlon with the Southern raelfle.
