ANNUAL REPORT ON CONDITION OF ARMY

IH to Come.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 20. In his annual
report , which was made public today , Secretary -
rotary Lament renews his previous recom
mendation that the Infantry bo reorgan
ized on the general Idea of three light and
mobile battalions of four companies each
to the regiment , Instead ot the cumbersome
ten companies , a formation adopted a cen
tury age- and abandoned by other nations
slnco the development ot modern magazine
rifles ; and ho quotes Generals Sherman ,
Sheridan and Lieutenant General SchoflcUl
In support of the necessity of the reorgan
ization of the Infantry. The completion al
ready ot some coast defenses and tbo approaching
preaching completion of other modern bat
teries render necessary a larger force of
artillerists , but no other Increase of the army
Is asked for. The plan of seacoast de
fence Involves 100 distinct batteries In over
twenty harbors.
Investigation this year has shown serious
deficiencies In the arms and equipments of
the state militia. When the states furnish
tlio armories and defray all expenses In
cidental to keeping their forces In training ,
Secretary Lament suggests that the United
States should provide them with the Imple
ments which they will need In active serv
ice arms and field equipments as the sup
ply on hand Is totally Inadequate for serious
and prolonged field operations. The secre
tary recommends that the Springfield rifle ,
caliber -15 , bo Issued to state troops , obso
lete arms and equipments to be sold and
the proceeds credited to the states , and that
the states bo allowed to purchase from the
department supplies at regulation prices.
The report shows that , whereas , on the 1st
of July , 1893 , ot our modern defense but one
high-power gun was mounted , by the 1st of
July next we will have In position seventy
high-power breech-loading guns and nlncty-
flvo breech-loading mortars of modern de
sign , and by the following July , on com
pletion of work already under way or pro
vided for , 128 guns and 153 mortars. A bat
tery of two or three of these guns takes the
place of the former pretentious fort and Is
vastly moro effective. The number of gun
carriages completed and building , all of
which will be finished within the next fiscal
year. Is twenty twelve-Inch , sixty-nine ten-
Inch , eighteen eight-Inch for guns and 153
for mortars. By July , 1S97 , there should
bo ready seventy gun carriages and 123 mor
tar carriages. The total number of guns
completed to date since the first appropria
tion Is sixty-one eight-Inch , fifty-six ten-
Inch , twenty-one twelve-Inch and eighty
mortars. With the money already provided
thcro will bo completed by Juno 30 , 1S97 ,
seventy-two eight-Inch guns , eighty-seven
ten-Inch guns , forty-seven twelve-Inch guns
and eighty-eight twelve-Inch mortars.
The-estimates of the department for the
next fiscal year aggregate , $10,482,208.
The armament'- 'trcopa4wlth UIio'abw- ;
magazine arms was completed In May , and
the armory Is'turning out 125 rifles or car
bines per day. under the appropriation made
last year. All the ammunition for small
arms now made Is supplied with smokeless
powder of American manufacture a"nd of sat
isfactory quality.
The secretary says the Mississippi river
commission has decided to discontinue the
plan to Improve the river by bank protec
tion , and to adept the plan of dredging
channels In shoal places and maintaining
with state and local co-operation an effect
ive levee system. With this change * of pol
icy the minority believe the function of the
commlf.slon Is ended and the work should be
turned over to the secretary of war.
The 310 Apache prisoners of Gcronlmo's
band have , the secretary saj-s , led a quiet ,
pastoral life at Fort Sill , and have reached
a self-supporting conndltlon. He recom
mends that In time title to the 30.000 acres
they occupy bo acquired by the government
and that they then ho placed under control
of the Indian bureau.
The report shows total expenditures for
the war department for 1S9B , aggregating
$51,803,298.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. It Is expected
that one of the first decisions to be rendered
by thu United States supreme court when
It reassembles will be on the writ of error
In the case of Elvcrton R. Chapman of New
York City , one of the "contumacious" wit
nesses before the Sugar trust Investigating
committee of the senate a couple of years
ago. Chapman's was taken as a test case
by the government largely to govern the
prosecution in the other long litigated cas"s.
If the writ Is dismissed It Is probable that
the New York broker will bo Immediately
surrendered by his bondsmen and habeas
corpus proceedings then Instituted In order
to secure a decision on the constitutionality
of the law on which the prosecution Is based.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 20. The joint con
gressional library committee has decided
not to Investigate the accounts of Librarian
Spofford. When the committee was ap
pointed It was understood It would be op
tional with It to go Into the question of th&
accounts , and the committee for sotno days
has had under consideration the advisability
of Investigating the charges of Irregularity
made against Spofford a year ago. The ques
tion was taken up In secret session yester
day , and , after an exchange of views cover
ing two hours' time , a decision was readier
to allow the matter to rest where It was
left by the Treasury department. Said r
member of the committees today : "Wo shoulr
have gene Into the Investigation It there
had been anything to Investigate , but wt
have satisfied ourselves that Mr. Spofforc' '
owes the government nothing. It Is true
there was a discrepancy In his accounts
amounting to about 130,000 , but this was
duo to his method of bookkeeping. This
money from thu beginning was In n gov
ernment depository , but It was there with
some ot .Mr. Spofford's own funds. The ac
counts were so entangled that the respective
accounts could not bo determined until the
treasury Investigation $ was made , The
amount duo the government has been turucil
Into the treasury. This leaves a shortage ,
and , satisfied as wo are that there was nc
Intention of wrong doing , wo have concluded
not to open up the subject at all. Wo arc
of the opinion that the trouble was duo
to the complication of duties Imposed upon
Mr. Spofford , and wo shall , I think , try to
prevent a recurrence by recommending the
appointment of a registrar of copyrights.
Mr. Spofford has rcqlUsted that this bo
done and there Is every reason why con
gress should grant therequest. "

WORK OF THE STORM KING
Telegraphic Communication with Western
Nebraska Practically Out OfT ,
MUCH DAMAGE ON NEBRASKA RAILROADS
AVI n ( I nuil Sleet Dflny All of the
'I'mInM nuil Ilrenk DIMVII Mllen

In the Went.
Thcro was but little activity In local rail
way circles yesterday. There were three ex
cellent reasons for this. In the first place ,
a holiday means that the passenger men
can have at least a half holiday ; secondly ,
several of the railroads took off BOIIIO of
their freight trains , nml , thirdly , the
telegraph service was so Interrupted as to
Klvo but llttlo work to the clerks of the
various headquarters who keep track of
affairs along their respective lines.
\Vevl.iraday night's storm provnl to bo most
severe , and there Is not n railroad In Ne
braska that did not suffer deleterious effects
In consequence. Telegraph poles by the hun
dred and telegraph wlro by the mlle went
down during the night. The wires became
covered with a heavy coating of sleet , and
when the wind came along and steadily
swayed the wires to and fro they could not
stand the vibration with their Increased
weight and Just tumbled down In 11 heap.
The rails also became covered with slcel
and their slippery condition caused the
wheels of the locomotives and coaches to
slip and slide along , delaying all the trains
during the day.
The Union 1'aclflc yesterday morning found
over 300 of Its telegraph poles between
Columbus and Kearney measuring their
length on the snow covered ground. ' It Is
needless to add that all telegraphic com
munication between these points was sus
pended. West of Kearney there was not
BO much trouble , although the wires were
pretty well tingled. The poles remained up
right , however , and the wires did not fall
down. At 1 o'clock In the afternoon the
telegraph department reported that the
worst trouble was between Schuylcr and
Elm Creek. Largo gangs of men were
sent by Superintendent Korty from several
stations along that part of the line , and
It Is said at headquarters that all the wires
will bo In working condition by tills
morning. It will take several days , though ,
to put the telegraph department In as good
condition as It was before the storm.
The Burlington alee reported much damage
along Its line. No telegraphic communica
tion could bo had at headquarters yesterday
morning with points west of Aurora. The
presumption Is that the wires and the poles
beyond that point have nil gonu down In the
etorm. The Ulkhorn had no communication
whatever with the western part of Its road
during the morning. The Iowa lines are nol
so badly handicapped. They were receiving
no news from Chicago headquarters yester
day. This , however , Is because all the Chicago
cage offices are closed and the Windy City
haa born captured by King Foot Hall , and
not because the telegraph wires In Iowa are
lying on the ground. No trouble has been
reported along any of the Kansas HncjS and
so far Is la known all .the wires thor6iiro In
working co'ndltlon. The storm was a' gen
eral one throughout Nobracka and but few
points 'escaped UH fury. There , was more
sleet than snow and everywhere there was , an
abundance of wind during the night , although
It n-ng.iot ; so very high nt any point.
Most ot the general officers en mo down to
their desks In the morning to
open their mail and to read the
telegrams that did not come. The
clerks were given a holiday generally ,
although a number ot them showed up Just
to convince their superior officers of their
loyalty to the company's Interests. The
foot ball fever had oven spread through the
railroad headquarters and the local ticket
offices and the railroaders were during the
morning figuring out the probable scores of
the day's game , rather than freight and pas
senger rates. All the ticket offices , Just for
the looks of things and not for any real busi
ness , were open jcstcrday morning from S
o'clock until 12. Then the ticket men de
serted their posts to enjoy one of the few
afternoons they have had to themselves
slnco last summer's excursion to Hanscom
park.
All the eastbound trains were delayed
from an hour and a half to two hours In
getting Into this city. The train men re
ported sleet and about an Inch of snow as
far west as Cheyenne. Overland Union Pa
cific No. 2. which Is duo here at 4:15 : , did
not reach Omaha until 6:30. : The Hock Is

Joao Reyes , aid-do-camp of General Macco ,
wounded and cnrouto to New York for med
ical treatment and with dispatches to the
Junta , passed through here yesterday. He
says the fighting In the Rubl hills of Pinar

the war. Ho claims 2000 of Weyler's men
were killed In two daya and twice as many
wounded. Weyler went to the Held "with
35,000 men In three columns , one of 15,000
under himself , one of 10,000 under General
Echague , and a third of 10,000 under Gen
eral Munoz. They found Macco entrenched
In a crescent-shaped range of hills. When
at the foot of the hills , the Spaniards were
met with a withering fire that cut gaps In
their ranks. Macco's men snot from behind
rocks and trees and gradually gave way be
fore the Spaniards , who , encouraged by what
they thought to be victory , pursued them.
Suddenly a deafening explosion rent the air
and a scene followed oomewhat like the
mine horror at Petersburg during the civil
war. Horses and men were blown high In
the air and fell to the earth dead and
mangled. The dynamite mine was touched
off by Johni Linn , formerly of thli city , who
Is MOCCO'B electrician. Mucco then let loose

For almost three hours yesterday afternoon
Nebraska and Iowa struggled upon a rough
and slippery fluid of Ice , and most of thu
time In a snow storm , lu their annual cham
pionship foot ball game. When time was
called on account of darkness , with a
minute of the halt still left , neither
eleven had succeeded In crossing Its op
ponent's goal line , and the contest ended
with the score 0-0. The tie gave the west
ern championship to Iowa , for even had Ne
braska won they would have been tied for
thu title.
Tomorrow afternoon the teams will meet
again and make an effort to decide the su
premacy.
A more disagreeable day could not be
Imagined for the game. When morning :
dawned rain was falling steadily , and this
changed into sleet as the temperature went
down with thu advance of the day. At noon
the regular foot ball 'Held at University
park was a solid sheet of Ice , and It was
found necessary to slake oft auother grid
iron on another purl ot the grounds. This
was but a slight Improvement. Soon after
the game began snow commenced to full
and continued to the finish. On account ot
the Inclemency of the weather the game ,
which Is usually attended en mubse by the
society people ot the city , was not wit
nessed by many of swelldom. The attend
ance was about 1,000 , constating principally
of students and alumni ot the two univer
sities represented on the field , and by foot
ball enthusiasts not to bo deterred by the
weather.
The game WUR a hard fought contest , anil
was filled with Incidents calculated to keep
up the enthusiasm of the spectators to the
end. The condition of the ground neutral
ized Iowa's advantage In weight to a great
degree , and to this Is duo lowa'x failure to
score. Ac It was , Us goal wau nqver threat
ened , whereas on two different occasions
It had excellent opportunity to cross No-
braska's line. One occurred In the first and
the other In the second half.
When the first half was , within fifteen
minutes of the end the ball U'IIB on Ne
braska's fifteen-yard line. In the possession
of Iowa. The contest wus waged within
these fifteen yards for the next twenty-two
minutes , for Ilia tlmekecpcr'B watch stopped
and the fact was not discovered until the
halt was forty-two minutes long. The ball
changed hands frequently , until Iowa had
it within five yards of Nebraska's goal on
the first down. Here Nebraska stood Ilka
a rock , and held like a stone wall against
the rushes of Iowa's backs. By a mistake
the officials allowed Iowa five downs , but
on the last the ball was no nearer the goal
than on the first down. Nebraska rushed
It out of danger , and when the half was
called It was on the ten-yard line , In Iowa's
possession.
Again In the second half Iowa seemed to
bo In sight of victory. The half was within
a few minutes of being up , with the ball In
Nebraska's hands on Its fifteen-yard line.
Nebraska gained nothing on two downs
and Thorpe droppcil back for a kick. Milford -
ford , center , snapped the ball back to him ,
but It flow over the quarterback'a head In
the darkness. It rolled to within a foot of
Nebraska's goal , when some one fell upon
it. A uquabhlo ensued , and both captains
finally agreed to call the game. Throughout
the game Iowa showed to better advantage ,
had the ball the greater part of the tlma
and kept It largely In Nebraska's territory.
IOWA BUCKS VICIOUSLY.
With the wind blowing a stiff breeze from
the northwest , Captain Thorpe kicked oft
for Nebraska and the game was begun. The
punt was against a strong wind and failed
to carry moro than twenty yards. Iowa
at once began a scries of short , strong
rushes against the Nebraska line , which was
expected to bo such an easy thing. The
line of the Lincoln men held well and the
Kalns through It were not worth mentioning.
Then Iowa called upon Meyers , Its sturdy
and fleet-footed right halfback to advance
the ball. Ho resondcd | with n run ot
twonty-flvo yards. There was a flutter
among the gold-colored flags , but the red
and whlto waved a moment later when
Iowa lost the hall to Nebraska on a bad
fumble.
Nebraska realized the strength of the
opposing team and at once massed Ita
strength back of the line for a tandem play.
It gained a few yards the first tlmo. but
on a repetition of the play the Iowa team
was thuro low and ready ( o break It up.
Nebraska was forced to punt and under
adverse circumstances , as the wind from
the west was strongly against them. For
Iowa Meyers took the ball on a thirty-yard
run between the- left end and tackle , and
then followed a series of short rushes. In
stopping one of thpBo Jones , Nebraska's
left end , was hurt , but pluck liy resumed
play u moment later. The ball went to
Nebraska before Iowa had a chance to push
It any further along toward the Nebraska
goal. The loss of the ball wuu for BOIJIO
rank holding In the line by Iowa. Cap
tain Thorpe brought joy to llio Nabraukans
by gaining four yards on u fake kick. An
attempt to go through the line was unsuc
cessful , and Thorpe kicked for twenty
yards. Hobbs returned the ball for Iowa ,
the exchange of punts giving neither sldo
an advantage. Holbrank made a short gain
for Iowa after Thorpe hnd ruturned the
punt of Hobhs. Then thcro was M > mo fum
bling ) l > y Hoth BldoM. HoblM failed to
gather In Thorpe's second kick , and Wlg-
Klns missed thu pigskin after Hobbs hud
lot U got past him. Iowa finally captured the
ball , twenty yards away from Nebraska's
goal. With the coveted goal In night the
lowans now put on a full head of etcam ,
but thu excellent tackling of Thorpe and
Shcdd all hut neutralised their best effortx.
Turner , tlio big right guard of the No-
iruHka team , too , showed that ho was able
to stop the advances of tlio lowans. On
Iowa's last chance to aavo the ball ho wai.
through the line like a flash , tackling the
runner back of the line and throwing him
for a loss of two yards. It was an olcgunt
pleco of defensive work , ono of the mout
meritorious Individual plays of the game.
NKBRASKA ON THU AOGRESSIVB.
The ball went to Nebraska , Iowa having
fulled to gain the requisite flvo yards , thanks
to Turner's timely tackle. Cook wan sum
moned and answcri-d with a run of four
yards fnr the Lincoln lads. Dungan , the
loft tucklo , went through thu other vvlsK
for two yards , and was fa'lowed by Wiggins ,
who pushed It along thrco yards further.
