Our Washington J Washi.smtos, July 5, 1901. Gen. Miles has an idea that it would Iv wise to withdraw tho most of our troops from Cuba now, instead of wait ing uuiil tho Cuban government is es tablished, and ho has olMially recom mended to Secretary Root that 50 per mit of the 5000 a meriean troops uow in Cuba bo ordered home, and tho work they ore doing be turned over to tho Cubans. He thinks it an excellent op portunity to test the capacity of the Cubans to govern themselves ia a small waythe preservation ot peace, protec tion of property, etc. But it is under stood that Secretary Root is opposed to nny further reduction ol our troops on the island until the Cubans have their government established. In a large room of the Smithsonian Institute a permanent exhibition will shortly be thrown open, under the name of the "Children's Museum." The ceil ings are hung with artificial wild vines, among which are swung uiauy cages of live singing birds, and the exhibits, meteorites, insects (dead and alive), models of diamonds, gold nuggets and all the commoner minerals, small ani mals, and many other things with which children are BUtBciently interested in, being specially arranged for the compre hension of children. The idea of a mu seum especially for the amusement, and incidentally for the education of chil dren, came to Prof. S. P. Langley a year ortwoag:, and he has since been ar ranging to put it into practical effect. The method of exhibition itn't the only unique feature of the new museum. It has, so far as known, been the invaria ble custom in every museum in the world to label all exhibits with their technical names, which are puwling to the average well-informed adult, and absolutely meaningless to a child. In this museum everything is labeled with its common name, and in addition, where possible, a short lact relating thereto. The additional claims against China, put in by Germany ,and several other powers, which were at first so puzzling to this government, are now known to iiiltC lATdl J.'lUHl"i'i J fevw ....... the powers should be heartily ashamed, iiy some error in figuring, China agreed to pay a total indemnity which exceeded the aggregate demand of all the powers by $25,-130-000. As soon as tbat became i. iiown, Germany put in a claim for Vl'i,000,(KJ3 more and Japan for $5,000, L'CO, and other powers annoui.ee their intention to do tho same. This govern ment proposed that the excesa be de- ii. ieted from the total indemnity to be paid by China, but from the manner in which the proposal was received, it is certain that it will nut be accepted, and that the rnajr:tyof the powers are de termined to squeeze the last dollar pos sible out of China. Secretary Hitchcock believes in adopt inn good ideas wherever found. An in vestigation having shown him that Ger many had been successfully renewing its forests, he submitted a plan for the establishment of a bureau in the De partment of the f rterior for the restora tion of American forests by a similar plan, and it was promptly approved by the President and the other members of the Cabinet, and the forefctry bureau will soon be iu operation. The receipts of the government for the fiscal year ju-t closed exceeded its ex penditures by $";,000,u00, which was about $3,000,000 less than th surplus of the pr'vi ;U8 fiscal year. There will be no such surplus for the fiscal year be ginning today, as the act of thi latl Congrats reducing war laxei went into o iect on the 1st iist., and that will re duce the revenues of the government to tho extent of between 'fuJtty and fifty million dollars.
