GENERAL WOOD FAVORS A BIG VOLUNIEER ARMY UNITED STATES ARMY NOT PRE¬ PARED FOR WAR, SAYS THE CHIEF OF STAFF. TO RE-ESTABLISH CANTEEN General Wood Paints a Gloomy Pic¬ ture of Shortcomings of U. S. Army in Annual Report. Washington.—Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff, paints a rather gloomy picture of the lack of prepar¬ edness of the army in case of war in his annual report to the secretary of war. There are weak spots in many di¬ rections, he says, and most serious is the shortage of field artillery and am¬ munition, a fault which should be im¬ mediately attended to. General Wood declares that there is a great lack of reserve seacoast ammunition, and that at the present rate of appropriation by congress, it will take more than fifty years to obtain a reasonable sup¬ ply of ammunition for the coast de¬ fense and a still longer time to se¬ cure the necessary number of field artillery guns and ammunition. If the regular army and organized militia at war strength were called to arms now, says General Wood, there would be a shortage of more than 50 per cent, in the field artillery necessary to equip them. As this force would represent only a portion of the force called to arms in case of war with a first class power, the gravity of the situation becomes apparent. General Wood Btrongly urges the passage by congress of the bill pend¬ ing for raising a volunteer army In time of war. He says this will cost nothing in time of peace, and will save the government millions of dollars In time of war. The present law is so unsatisfactory and vague that the gen¬ eral staff cannot make preparations in advance for its execution in event of war. Other needs of the military service are set out in the report, including the addition of 610 officers to replace those detailed from line duties for staff and militia work; the creation of a reserve of not less than three hun¬ dred thousand men who have served in the regular army or militia; the concentration of the army in large posts; the re-establishment of tue can¬ teen, and finally the increase of the signal corps and the acquisition of aeroplanes.

C.—With his body riddled with bullets and a lan¬ tern hanging above Ills head, Flute Clarke, a negro, lies dead on the side of Little Mountain.

Radical Changes in the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Law Suggested. Atlantic City, N. J.—Resolutions calling for drastic regulation of all railroads of the country and giving the interstate commerce commission power to nullify freight and passen¬ ger rates proved to be extortionate, were adopted by the National Grange.

PORFIRIO DIAZ, PRESIDENT OF MEXICO. ANARCHY FOLLOWS REVOLT MEXICO, AFTER CRUSHING THE REVOLUTION, IS FACING ANOTHER TASK. Madero, the Revolution Leader, Has Disappeared, Despite Efforts of the Agents of Diaz. Mexico City, Mexico.—With the Ma¬ dero revolution practically crushed out the Mexican government found a task of great magnitude on its hands—that of crushing out the wave of Anarchy which is following in the wake of the rebellion. Bandits and desperadoes have banded with criminals released from jail and. according to latest re¬ ports, they are attacking and pillaging small towns, driving off stock and do¬ ing great damage to railroad property. Federal troops were sent to confiis oate the Mexican property of Frances¬ co Madero, upon whose head $10,000 reward has been set by the Mexican government. Madero has disappeared despite the efforts of soldiers, rurales and govern¬ ment secret agent to find him. A great nation-wide search was started for him under the stimulus of the re¬ ward. Government agents continued their activities throughout the states in the danger zone, buying up all the arms and ammunition they could find. They have acquired thousands of guns and millions of rounds of ammunition al ready. The jails are full to overflowing, and secret trials will soon be ordered by the government. Following the dras¬ tic policy of President Diaz, it is fully expected that scores will be executed. .Mexico City maintains the quiet that has marked it through the entire up¬ rising. Americans are not molested on the streets, and the newspapers print subdued accounts of the con¬ flicts between troops and rebels. New Orleans.—James M.
