Washi-voton Maroh la Senator
Proctor yestorday nftornonn In tlio
senate mado n statement concerning
liis Cuban trip
Senator Proctor began by saying
Jin t mora linportnnco hud boon nt-
uii'licil to Ills visit than necessary but
lie thought a public statumant would
bo beneficial. Tlio only thing lie
said that ho had Bald about the mat-
ter to the President was that hu was
i;olng. On asking If thcru was any
.abjection to It he was told thnt there
was none. Ho had lcttors from As-
sistant Secretary Day and business
mon of the United Status. Ho said
I ion oral Lee and other United States
alllcKls In Cuba nlTordod him oppor-
tunity to secure Information.
lie denied that ho had mado the
itntemout that tlio Maine was blown
up from tlio inside but said that it
was tlio sentiment in Cuba. Outside
jf Havana thoru was desolation and
misery. l'coplo were surrounded by
trochus and controlled by forts of
blockhouses.
His observations ho said wcro In
the four western provinces. Outside
jf tho trochas and forts there
wero no habitations or pcoplo
living. Tho Spaniards ho said huid
in the fdur provinces only what
their army sits on. Senator l'roetor
jescribod at &omo length tho condition
of tho roconcontrados saying that
suo-hatf of them had died owing to
the manner In which tlmy hud beou
kept in the small houses and bad san-
itation. It was no wonder one-half
had died he added.
Ho went to Cuba thinking tho coa-
lition of tho people had been ovcr-
Irawn but found their situation ter-
rible. What ho saw he could not toll-
o others could see.
In ono place in Havana the sen-
ator said he saw f0 emaciated people
with little clothing lying on utono
lloori. Tho children had no clothing.
Amorlcan pcoplo may be assured ho
coutluuod that their bounty will
roach the doslltutc and ha addod tho
condition of tho rcooncentrndos will
not bo changed until ponce shall
come No beneficial results had fol-
lowed General lllanco's onlor of No-
vember 13 1J07. For this ho does not
blame General Blanco as lllanco
looked at tho matter from a military
point of vlow.
As to tlio military bituatlon ho sal
llioro wero about 00000 Spanish
troops. He thought they would fight
well. Thcro was no urtlllory. Tlio
troops live In barracks. The cavalry
Is mounted mostly on ponlos.
He Bald tho Cubans had about 30000
mon in the field and were very nctivu.
The Cubans were well arniod but
poorly supplied wltli ammunition.
About one-third of tho Cuban army
are negroes. The cavalry mon found
their own horses.
Tho dividing lines betweon tlio par-
ties Is sharp. It Is Cubans against
Spaniards. The autonomists hu did
not consider as they wore Itioonblder
ablo In number. Tho Spaniards did
not want perfect autonomy is it
meant government by tho Cubans.
He Inquired as to autonomy of mon
of wealth business and professional
men. Without exooption thoir roply
wag that It was too lato for r-itonoiny.
It was they suld too lato for peaco
undor Spanish rula Some favored
annexation by the United States.
Senator I'rootor said ho was not in
favor of annexation. Tho conditions
for Belf-govorninont In Cuba wore fa-
vorable and not much danger of revo-
lutions. Ho thought tho matter
might be safely loft to an American
President and American people. With
these words ho closed.

ITO REORGANIZE THE ARMY
A lllll Introduced l'rorldlnc (or tti
Three llnttatlnn" System
Wasiiinoton March 1 llepreson-
tatlvo Hull of Iowa chairman of tho
House committee on military affairs
Introduced a bill yostorday reorganiz-
ing tho lino of tho army It Is
n swooping measure making many
changes in tho existing system. It
makes tho peace organization ot
oaoh regiment of infantry now
In scrvloo horoaftor embrace ono
colonel ono lieutenant oolonol
two majors ton canlnlns tw'olvo Hon-
tenants ton second lieutenants ono
sergeant major ono quartermaster
sorgoant ono chief musician two
principal musicians two battalions
of four companies ench and two skele
ton or unmanned companies tho or
ganized companion to bo constituted
as now authorized by law. It is pro-
vided howovor that nothing In tlio
bill shall bo construed as abolishing
the olllce of chaplain in ouch regiment
of colored troops.
Section two provides that. In tlmo
of war the President In his dleero-
Mon may establish a third battalion
for oach infantry regiment consisting
of four companies to be supplied by
manning the two skeleton companies
and by organizing two additional
companlos. Tho vacancies of com
missioned ofltcors in the nddltionnl
companies shall be filled by promo
tions by seniority In tho Infantry and
by appointments as now.
The bill then authorizes the Presi
dent in wa time to inoronso tho en
listed strength to not exceeding SAO
total enlisted men for oach infantry
company; 100 total enlisted for oach
cavalry trooj nnd 200 total enlisted
for each battery of heavy artillery!

field urtlllory and ISO total enlisted
for ench company of engineers. Tho
quartermasters commissary nnd vot-
orlnnry sergeants are to have the pay
and allowance of sergeants of their
ruspcotivo arms.
The bill places the war footing of
tho army at 101000 man. The Inten-
tion is to utilize tho State guard al-
ready orgnnlrod for lilting out tho
skeleton regiments thus putting tho
army on a war footing at onco. Tho
bill has been carefully gono ovor by
tho Wnr department and Chairman
Hull will urgo It vigorously.
Tlio basis ot tho bill will bo tho well
known throe battalion organizations.
That Is th ideal peace status of the
army but provision Is made for tho
oxorclso by the President of full
power to Increase aach ono ot tho ex-
isting companies from 71 man tho
pre lent strength to 850 men.

Washington March ia Thosoml-
ofllelal statement given out at Madrid
advancing tho government view that
a demand for Indemnity based on
Spanish responsibility for tho Mnlno
explosion would bo Indignantly ro-
pallod by Spain nltractod much t. cr-
est In ollloial circles. There has uoon
little doubt for some time that Spain
was preparing for tho contingency of
nn adverse report by tho American
court of Inquiry and to that end was
preparing to anticipate and olt-set it
by making clear the government's
policy of standing by tho report
of tho Spanish commission. Tho re-
port of tlio lntter body wns duo In
Madrid yesterday and while Its con-
clusions arc not olllolally known It is
a foregone conclusion that It will ilnd
that tho Malno disaster was due to
accident This was foreshadowed lu
tho advance utloraucos of Inptalu
Pernl head of the Spanish commis-
sion who statod publicly several days
ago that tho theory of external ox-
plosion was uutunnblu.
Along with the aoml-ofllrlal stato-
ment from Madrid that a doinr.nd for
Indemnity will bo Indignantly ro-
polled is tho further statement from
reliable sources that Spain has made
It olenr to the authorities hero that In-
tervention may lead to war.
Tho prospooU of such In'orvontlon
nppenr to bo seriously entertained by
Spain and strong ollorts have been
made to avert it by showing thnt tho
condition of the roconcontrados did
not warrant tho step and also that it
would threaten to end all prospects of
further paolllc negotiations.
lloth governments have beon sound-
ing ouch pth.r on the activity of tho
other lu searching for ships but thoro
has boon little ground for objection
on elthor side ns both hnvo boon in
tho samo murkots. The administra-
tion explains Its buying of ships on
tho ground that Spain's attitude has
boon so menacing as naturally to oall
for an nugmontod navy whllo Spain
tnkes tlio same vlow that tlio activity
of tho United States requires suitable
preparations by the Spanish navy.
Tho President expects tho report
of the bonrd of Inquiry to-day or to-
morrow. Majiii March la. Tho following
soml-oflleinl uoto was Issued hero to-
day: "Tlio report of tho Spanish
committee on tho Malno Is not yot
known but tho statement of several
technical ollloors who havo mado
oloo examination of the scene of tho
disaster shows it to be Indisputably
duo to un Internal accident Amoriaan
assertions to tho contrary thoroforo
nre deplored In ollloial quarters as
tending to mlstoad public opinion
and render tho situation still
more ditlloult from tho standpoint of
maintaining friendly rotations be-
tweon the two countrlos. It may bo re-
garded as certain that should tho
American technical committee prsut
a report deoluring tho disaster to be
duo to an external explosion Me
public hero will refuse to aoeopt suuh
a finding and any demand for an In-
demnity based thereon will bo Indig-
nantly repelled by Spain."
