Washington.—ln a statement Secre tary Oarrison, pointing to the Ameri can army scattered In small units throughout the country, Impossible to doeletcence for practical Instruction in the larger tactical measures of bat tle, ' urged the Importance of assem bling brigades and divisions periodi cally and temporarily In times of peace for war training, pending the adoption of a governmental policy for the adequate distribution of the army. Epitomizing his the secretary Mid: 7 "I hope that war may never come, but In the present stage of civilisa tion we must recognise the possibil ity; and It is with this idea in mfhd that I say I believe it will be well for the country, it our legislators would make provision for the annual assembling of at least one division as a school, wherein our officers might be given that practical train ing which is so necessary to develop educated generals and staff officers. We may not need a large army, but It should be one which in organisa tion and training Is as nearly perfect as It is possible to make it. Otherwise, whatever is spent is not bringing its full efficient return. And this applies to thought, skill and training, aa well as to money." Discussing the question of a future military policy for the United States, Secretary Qarrlson said it seemed to be agreed that there were entirely too many army posts at the present time, and that many of them were not where they were useful or desirable under existing conditions: "Whether this situation should be remedied," he continued, "by concen trating the army into a few quiet, large posts or into only as many as would permit a regiment at least to be quar tered in each, I have not as yet formed any definite conclusion in my own mind. Much may be said effectively upon each side of this question. I hope, when I get the time, to give this mat ter my most earnest consideration, with a desire to reach a conclusion that is best for the army, which, of course, will be that which is best tor the country." REBELS GAIN OVER HUERTA Rebels Doing as They Plssse In All Parts of Msxlco. Mexico City.—Further evidence of the aggressiveness of the Northern rebels was given when several hun dred of them, well armed and mount ed, captured the town of Venegas, on the National railway, In the state of San Luis Fotosl. They cut the railway to the north and they moved over to Matchuala, a mining town and smelting center. The rebels continue to cover new terlrtory and cripple transportation facilities. More than 2,600 miles of the National railway system are out of commission. To this Is added a long stretch of the Southern Pacific south of Quaymas and other short independ ent lines. The inability up to date of the gov ernment to float a loan is a serious handicap, but notwithstanding this, President Huerta is doggedly forcing the campalßu. The recent announce ment that the pay in the army will be a peso and u half a day has been fol lowed by fresli efforts to augment the rank! Volunteers, for the most part, by conscription, are being obtained here at the rate of one hundred a day. However, the government's campaign appears to be largely defensive. Man Impaled to Stake.

Victory of Strikers Means Abolition of Plural Voting in Belgium. Brussels, Belgium.—Owing In great part to the advice of the king, the governmenlt accepted the compro mise proposed by the Liberal leader, F. Masson, and the great strike for manhood suffrage, which on account of the remarkable discipline main tained, the solidarity of those who Joined In the movement and skillful organisation, Is unique in history, will be called off. A week ago the Belgian premier, Charles de Broquevllle, declared: "No government could yield to a strike of this nature. To yield would be to abdicate." * Nevertheless the strike of 600,00® workers seems to have made sufficient Impression on the government to in duce it to unbend from its uncompro mising attitude far enough to Insure the termination of a situation which has already cost the country more than 914,000,000 and Is daily driving away from manufacturers customers they may never win back. The leaders of the Soclaallst trades unions and their followers gained their point, which was to make the government take up for consideration a change of the Belgian parliamenta ry franchise with its hated system of plural votes for the wealthier and more educated classes. TO FI6HT OVER THE SPOILS Greece and Bulgaria Rapidly Drifting to War. lx>ndon, England.—Bulgaria and Greece are rapidly drifting towards war over the possession of Balonlkl, The Greeks have mobilised every available soldier and concentrated one army In the neighborhood of Saloniki, while another Is being landed at Or fanl, in the Gulf of Orfani, to watch movements of Bulgarians at Drama and Kavala. The victorious Epirus army from Janlna is being distributed along the new strategical front from Saloniki to Orfani. In the meantime the Bulgarians have suspended passenger traffic be tween Dedeagatch and Saloniki and are utilising the railway for concen tration of troops in the neighborhood of Drama close to the Greek position. They have now brought one division each from Adrlanople, Tchatlja and Bulatr, and It is estimated that the Buigars now have 90,000 soldiers fac ing the Greeks and a Servian force, supporting the Greeks, which is as sembling along the railway Bryan Ordered to California. Washington.—President' Wilson di rected Secretary of State Bryan to proceed to Sacramento to co-operate with Governor Johnson and the mem bers of the jOalltornla legislature In framing a law regarding the ownership of land by aliens that would not con flict with the treaty obligations of the United States, particularly with Japan. "I am going in the hope that we may be able to And the best solution of the difficulty," said Secretary Bryan to the press. "1 feel sure that they In California will enter upon work with the same spirit of co-operation as the president and I do.

COVEREO. Those Who escaped Crawled en Their Hands and Knses Out of the Deadly Fumee. Pittsburg, Pa.—The Uvea of 100 miners, possibly more, paid the toll of a disastrous explosion tn the Cin cinnati mine of the Monongaheia Riv er Consolidated Coal and Coke com pany at Flnleyville, Pa. Over three-score of workmen in the mine made thrilling escapes, crawling most of the time on their hands and knees through deadly gas fumes and over debris. Many bodies were located by rescu ing squads of the United States bureau of mines, the Monongaheia River Con solidated Coal and Coke company and of the Pittsburg Coal company.- As the rescuers found bodies they were carried to the entries. The rescue work was hampered by afterdamp. Fire which followed the explosion has been completely sub dued. Three entries of the mine are entirely choked with debris. The force of the explosion was ter rific. A fifteen-ton motor was turned over. Many feet of mine track were twisted and ripped from the ties. Only a few of the miners who reach ed the surface could talk. Suffering from burns or fright, tne miners only knew that an explosion had occurred, and that the large number of men are either killed by the explosion or as phyxiated by the afterdamp. FORTRESS OF SCUTARI FALLS Action of Montenegro In Defying the Powers Causes Critical Situation. London.—News of the fall of Scuta ri to the Montenegrin army has been received with extraordinary demon strations in all the allied capitals, no tably Belgrade and the Bulgarian pre mier has sent effusive congratulations to the Montenegrin premier. The first effect of the fall of the fortress has been the extension of the international naval blockade to Du raxxo, but what will be the next step of the powers in facing tne new sit uation it Is difficult to foretell. Ac cording to the view prevailing at St Petersburg, the coercion of Montene gro would not be an easy matter. Belgrade.—Not even Servian victo ries during the war caused anything like the scenes of enthusiasm which were witnessed here over the taking of Scutari by Montenegrins. Business was at 'a standstill, while the whole population gave itself over to rejoic ing. Lawyers, merchants, soldiers and workmen danced in the streets to the strains of music. Wine may almost be said to have been flowing In the gutters, for everywhere barrels were broached, and all were free to drink to the victory of the Montenegrins and the glory of "Greater Servta." M-Y ear-Old Frigate Saved. New York. —The 95-year-old frigate Granite State, the largest wooden ves sel ever built for the United States navy, which seemed doomed by Are which broke out on board her, was saved from destruction, but not before serious damage had been done throughout her fore part The frigate formerly was known as the Alabama and the New Hampshire.

The Ocean ic Steam Navigation company sought to have Its liability fixed by the laws of the Halted States. More Pay Given Firemen.
