NEW YOKK. Jan. 31. General Miles was
asked by an Evening World reporter today
what he had done regarding t'.io offer of
Colonel A. A. Pope of Boston to give $1.000
for proof that chemicals were used to "cm-
blam" beef furnished tlic United States sol
diers In the war with Spain.
"I have told Colonel Pope , " was General
Miles' reply , "that I appreciated patriotism
and had great respect for the public spirit
which he displayed , but that I do not think
It necessary to spend any such sum to prove
such a patent fact that the beef was em
balmed. The evidence of nearly 100 of the
soldiers proves It. The reports mode to me
prove It beyond a doubt. My report was
based solely upon personal observation and
the statements of officers In whom I have
every confidence. 1 think the evidence and
testimony I produced Is sufficient to estab
lish the truth of everything I said regardIng -
Ing the beef. "
General Miles refused to express himself
regarding the court-martialing of Brigadier
General Easran.
"It Is reported from WashlnKton. " the re
porter suggested , "that the War Investi
gating commission has reported a decision
in which It practically exonerates nil army
officers except yourself nnd General Brcck-
Inrldce. "
"Well , " replied General Miles , "there ere
many rumors afloat and thnro Is no need
for me to add to them. All 1 liavo to say
Is that the report will speak for Itself when
It Is made public. "

larger Quantity of mercuric cyanide than

The amount of mercuric cyanide , 4.M

WASHINGTON , Jan. SI. The bill to reor
ganize and Increase the standing army to
,
about 100.000 men , but giving the president
authority to reduce the size o. ' Infantry com
panies anil cavalry troops to sixty men each
thus fixing n minimum of about 50,000 enlisted -
listed men passed the house today by a
vote of 163 to 125.
This was the result of a week of hard and
otteu picturesque lighting on the door , dur
ing the progress of which the opposition
compelled these In charge of the measure to
Kivo this discretionary authority to the
president and to make other modifications ,
among wnlch were a reduction of 331 In the
number of staff officers. In consequence of
tncso modifications the republican opposi
tion practically vanished , and on the final
veto but six republicans voted against the
Mil , Messrs. Harbor of Maryland , Connolly
or Illinois , Loud ot California , Johnson ot
Indiana , McEwan of Now Jersey , and Wads-
worth of New York.
This republican deflection , however , was
almost offset by flvo members of the politi
cal opposition who voted In fnvor of tno
hill'Messrs. Berry of Kentucky , McClellan
of Now York , McAleer of Pennsylvania ,
Taylor of Alabama , democrats , and Hklnnor
of North Carolina , populist.
The galleries wore crowded throughout
the day ana every member who could pos
sibly bo there was on the floor to record
his vote on the final roll call. The pro
gram today Included provision for two hours
of general debate , which -wa to be occupied
by Messrs. Dalzell of Pennsylvania and Hop
kins of Illinois In closing for the majority
and Messrs. Halley of Texas and Settle of
Kentucky for the opposition.
Hut this program was smashed owing to
the failure t > complete the hill under the
flve-minuto rule before 3 o'clock , the hour
set for the vote. Among the Important
amendments adopted before the vote was
taken today was one to exclude the appoint
ment of civilians to positions In the en-
Stnecr corps , one to abolish canteens an I
the pale of liquors In camps and one to
strike out the provision for additional par
Tor commands serving In the Weet ladles ,
the Philippines and Alaska.
The amendment of Mr. Cummlngs of New
York to prohibit 'the use of troops In the
several stales to suppress riots , etc , except
upon the application of the states , was de
feated by a large majority. The motlon to
recommit with Instructions to report back
the minority substitute only commanded two
republican votes and waa lost by 117 to 170.
What the 11111 Provide * .
The bill , as passed , provides In nl'i'lon
to the general officers and staff ' pnrt-
ments , for twelve regiments of < ry of
twelve troops each , 144 coast u rerle ,
twenty-four field batteries , thirty regiments
of Infantry of twelve companies each , a
corps of engineers and one" regiment of en
gineers , an ordnance department ar.d a sig
nal corps , the latter with 625 enlisted men.
It also gives the president discretion to re
cruit the organizations serving In Cuba ,
Porto Rico and the Islands of the Pacific
in whole or In part from the inhabltauts
thereof.
Before the house adjourned today the river
and harbor bill was formally called up In
order to make It the unfinished business In
the committee of the whole.
When the house resumed work on the
bill today section 12 , relating to the pay
department , had been reached. The numbar
of paymasters general with the rank of colonel
nel provided in the bill was reduced from
four to three , with the rank of lieutenant
colonel , from eight to five , and paymasters
with the rank of major from forty-seven to
thlrty-flvo. The age limit for appointments
In this department was reduced from 00 to 40.
In the corps of engineers the number of
colonels was reduced from ten to eight ;
lieutenant colonels , ten to six ; majors ,
thirty-six to thirty ; captains , forty-one to
thirty-five ; first lieutenants , fifty to forty ,
and second lieutenants , fifty to forty. Mr.
Dram well , republican , of Ohio , moved to
strike out the provision authorizing the ap
pointment of engineers from civil life. The
amendment was supported by Mr. Walker ,
republican , of Massachusetts , but opposed by
Mr. Marsh , republican , of Illinois , who fa
vored the appointment of officers from civil
life and said the great engineer scheme of
Eads was scouted by the regular army
officers. Mr. Dockery of Missouri said the
best results In government work had always
been obtained from army engineers.
TriiopN * Attitude Ton-tin ! Striken.
Mr. Cannon , republican of Illinois , di
rected attention to the amendment of Mr.
Cummlngti , democrat of New York , who
yesterday gave notlco that he would olfer
one to prevent the use of United States
troops aa poeso comltatus , or In putting
donw strikes or riots except upon the writ
ten application of the governor of the slate.
That amendment , said Mr. Cannon , pro
posed to put It out of the power of the
president , the constitution to the con
trary , notwithstanding , to enforce the law
within the territory of any state unless the
governor appealed for help. It was the
duty of the president to enforce the law ,
said Mr. Cannon , who then recalled the
Chicago riots during the last administra
tion and the dispatch Into Illinois without
the assent of the governor and against his
protest of United Slates troops to sup
press the Hots. That action of President
Cleveland had been endorsed by the senate
of the United States and the people every
where. Had the proposed amendment been
law the president would have been pre
vented from enforcing the law. The federal
authority was and should bo supreme.
CiiniinlnK'x Amendment Dcfriitoil.
The house rejected Mr. Cummtng's amend
ment to prevent the army being used to
suppress riots In states except upon appli
cation of the governor * thereof. An amend
ment by Mr. Johnson of North Dakota to
prevent all sales of Intoxicants in array
canteens was adopted.
.Mr. Cummlngs replied to Mr. Cannon. '
"Thero was no question , " lie. said , "but
organized labor through the American Fed
eration of Labor anil the Knights of Labor
had condemned the effort to increase the
standing auny to 100,000. There was no
question that the reason for their action
was the fact the standing army might bo
used unconstitutionally to suppress them.
The gentleman from Illinois. " he paid , "had
referred to the action of Governor Altgeld.
but he had failed to refer to Governor JohnM.
Palmer , who bad denounced the action of

ToiichliiR Mr. Quesada'a mission to Gen-
cral Gomez's headquarters , iinilor Instruc-
tlons from President I'almn of tlio junta ,
the official * preserve a discieet silence , but
It seems entirely probable that If our gov
ernment found It expedient to make uny
proposition to Gomez touehlnR the pay ot
Cuban soldiers , that Mr. Qucsada would bo
the Instrument chosen for that purpose ,
not only because of his Intimacy with
Gonisz and other Cuban leaders , but nlso
bectiase of his executive ability.
The best Information obtainable so far at
the department , and perhaps It Is part of
Mr. Porter's duty toorlfy this , Is that the
Cuban troops who mlM't ' properly apply for
money In case It should be decided to pay
them off number 30,000. It was probable
11 was by basing a calculation of $100 per
man upon thX number ll people In Hawina
obtained Iho Idea that A.r. Porfer was to
disburse Ji,000,00fl ! for I MR purpose. It is
well understood that tli ; sum demanded by
the Cuban troops on account of back pay Is
fully ten times this sum.
It probably will bo represented to thorn
that as any payment whatever on this ae-
couut must bo charged up against the
Island of Cuba , the United States as the
temporary guardian of the Island ! B In duty
hound to nvolil burdening It at the very out
set of Us Independent existence wtlh a lo.id
beyond Its ability to bear In the shape of
obligations. The Cuban soldiers will be
asked to take this sum us a payment on ac
count , leaving the future government of
Cuba to add to the romuucrntlon later on If
It shall neo fit. The rendition precedent to
this first payment will bo a solemn promise
to dlnband at once.
The officials here believed that General
Urooke lias wisely settled the difficulty at
Santiago over the desire of the people ( hero
to' retain all of the customs receipts by 10-
talnng 20 per cent of the total receipts for
he benefit of the general government of the
stand and Hllotinz the remainder , not to
Santiago alone , but to all of the ports of the
irovince. If the arrangement works as well
is 11 Is hoped , It will be extended to the
other province * of Cuba.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31. There are now-
pending In the War department several
cases of American soldiers charged with
manslaughter and In two of these the death
penalty has been Imposed. They have not

sentence.
Ono of these cases Is that ofJohn , No-

The deceased princess of Bulgaria had been

domestic life. The palace nt Sofia Is a most
unsanitary place. During the first year of
her residence them tsho suffered a great
deal from Intermittent fever , owing to tno
drains. She only survived her first confine
ment and the enforced conversion of young
Prince Horls to the Orthodox Greek church
caused her , as a devout Catholic , great un-

The enmity that existed between her nnd
the late Stefan StamboulotT , the Bulgarian

CHEYENNE , Wyo. . Jan. : . ( Special. )
Representatives of three of the largest rail
road contiactlng1 firms In the country
reached here today and went out over iho
Wyoming illvlson of the Union Pacific for
the purpose of making an examination of
proposed cut-off lines to be built by the
company in order to make bids for their
construction. Thn cut-oft lines represen :
more railroad work that has been done lu
Wyoming for many years and will require
nn Immense expenditure of money. Thn re
sult will be , however , the IcFsenlng of sev
eral heavy grades and a material almituning
of the main line of the Union Pacific. The
surveys for the proposed Improvements have
all been completed , a force of engineers hav
ing been In the field several months last
fall running the lines for the proposed work.
The cut-offs to bn built are between Howell
and Cooper Lake station , a short distance
west of Laramlo , a distance of eighteen nnd
one-half miles : between Harpem and MedV-
clno flow , a distance of thirty-live miles ,
and a cut-off near Carbon by which the coal
camp of Ilanna will be on the main line- .
The changes will , 1 ; Is estimated , require
the removal of 125.000 cubic yards of earth
and rock per mile , or over C.000.000 cubfc
yards for the entire undertaking. The now
lines will be laid with the heavier ! ties
and rails , and will form a substantial portion
tion of .the road.

The chance of Senator Steele from Hln-
shaw to Hayward , following after the Hayward -
ward conference of last night In which
Steele took part , caused some stir today , and
KOVO the Hayward men renewed hope. They
express "tho " belief that the senator from
Jelfcrion will stay with them and that other
recults will follow. In fact , they expected
ono or two other new votes today , which did
uot materialize , but which they now Miy will
teen come.
The change of BVeaner and Steele , the two
original lllnshaw men , to the Hayward column -
umn does not leave HIiiHhaw entirely out ,
as Smlthbergor of Stanton , who opened out
as a Hayward man. still remains with the
Jefferson county candidate.
During the evening there were various
reports of on Impending change for tomor
row that canned a flutter of excitement.
Traced down these rumors led to the In
formation that the Gago'county members
were holding a meeting somewhere In the
city nnd that with them wau J. U. Weston.
who has been receiving the solid Gage
county vote for cvernl days. It Is mild that
Weston has told ! IH | supporters that he did
not care to be a stalking horse for eomo
uther candidate and that ho iisked them
uot to consider his name any further In the
light.
This story led to much speculation as to
where the four votes would go. Hlbbort
started Into the light as u Hayward man.
while Chlttendrn cast his first votes for
Field. Jones unil Prout were the original
Wcaton men.
The re-port that was current a few day *
ago Is being revived that when Hlbbrrt left
Hayward lor Wtston. It was on the under
standing that if Weston failed to make a
showing , the other members worn to como
with Hibbert to Ilayward. The Field sup-
uortcrg do no ! credit this story tonight , and
are In bopci thul they will gain two or more
of the Gage county votes In case Wcxton
drops out.
Senator Allen came In todcy and hold a
conference with his populist friends , going
to Omahi tonight. The only result waa an
understanding that the funlon vote * continue
to lo caa' solidly for Senator Allen ,
Metl.lltlo Nprruil.
The meeting of tlif Ga o county members
occurred at the Lincoln hotel , where Mr.
W < ston treated them to a nlro little eprcud
and during the prourcu of ih : euiokc whlutt
