the note continues, "as she always bus
rejected them."
Basing her attitude upon tho justice
of ber cause, the note then savs the
still adheres to these principle, "which
she ha heretofore iuvariably formu
lated." However, thn note adds, In her esire
for peace, she lias gone so far a to pro
pose Pertain compromise, which th
American have alwsys rejected. She
has also attempted to arbitrate some of
the material particular upon which the
two governments differed. Theso pro
posals for arbltiatlon, it I added, the
American had equally rejected. These,
allegations in Spain' reply, a to l-
'tnpted arbitration, refer to her pro
Mal to arbitrate the construction of
the third article of the protocol, and
also lo subaalt the Spanish colonial debt
of Cuba and the Philippine to arbitra

made in a written oommuni ration.
Since it presentation, and in return for

the territory in dispute. The Ameri

(eela that the United State' propoeale
could not be considered as equitable.
Spain hat, however, eihausted all the
resources of diplomacy and an attempt
to justify her attitude. Seeing that
an acceptance of tbe proposal made to
Spain is a neceemry condition to a con
tinuance of negotiation, and seeing
thai tha reaouice of Spain are not tuch

It is believed that the Portland wa

Hill bar, and went to piece. No part
of the thlp ha drifted ashore, and it I

Tha present army consists of about
180,000 men, exclusive ol all ordered
mastered out, 83,000 ol whom asMreg
nlars. Tbe for contemplated for
the Islands are:
For the Philippines, 80.000; for
Porto Rloo, about 7,000; for Cuba,
not more than 80,000.
Thia, on tbo. basis of 76.000 in fro for
th regular eatabllanrocnV which is
the number now reckoned oa by com
petent military forecasters here will
leave 80,000 men lor frontier and sta
tion work In this country. Secretary
Alger lecommendt 100,000 men.
There ar now 80,000 volunteer,
who are entirely useless, in view of the
technical cessation of hostilities. Or
ders for the muttering out of these will
be Issued without delay, which will
leave 100,000 men in the army. It
wa recalled by army officers that th
regular army of 28,000 men ha never
been opto iu limit of enlisted strength,
and that the army of 82,000 men under
tbe Hull bill lacked 10,000 of complete
enlistment.
Secretary Alger lefased to say
whether he would ask for more pay for
oils ted man. but it is asserted that it
will be impoaaibla to secure tho enlist
ment of 78,000 men unless there be
grain greater pay than f IS a month
for each man. An Increase of pay 'or
private In tba service will bo one of
the almost ceitain development of leg
islation for army reorganisation, th
argoment being based opon tbe danger
ous climate to be endnred in the new
possession. '
