GENERAL WOOD MAKES
VERY FRANK STATEMENT

(By Victor. Elliott.)
WASHINGTON, Alay 23. Is tbe
old man to bo driven out of the
army, too? Is younger blood to push
mm aside there also?
Major General Leonard Wood re
cently made an astonishingly frank
statement to the bouse commiteeo
n
ion
on military affairs that would lead
to such a belief, and that uas caused
considerable talk here at the capital,
where the army has its headquar
ters and the money is appropriate!
for its maintenance.
"We don't want the professional
" soldier any more," said the chief ot
tho staff. "Tho recruit, the youus
man, makes the best fighter. An
army vita old captains, old privates
and seasoned campaigners, ia gen
erally a dead army, with little in
erest in its work and tho daily rou
tlno ot army life.
Not Worth His Salt.
"The man who has been in the
service for a number of jears may
bo all right for a park policeman,
but for a fighter, he is hardly worth
his ualt-
.Frank words wore those of Gener
al Wood, and the committee mem
bers urged! him to go fully into tnls
problem ot supplanting the season
ed campaigners with raw recruits.
General Wood was opposing the
Hay bill, which proposes that the
period of enlistment shall be extend
ed from" three to five ears. The gen
eral told the committco that three
yes?s is sufficient, and that tho
army did not want all of its sot
diers to reenllst. About twenty five
por cent of them, do, eaid the gener
al, and this is approximately all
tho army needs In tho way of traln-
od and service-seasoned men. lien-

erai houu u mi. . bi. -
experience, and that the compara-
tivo nsclessness of the old soldier
iiad been aexnoustrated during the
war with Spain.
Volunteers Needed.
"II the Spanish-American war
had continued mnch longer," ex
plained: General Wood, "wo would
havo had to finish it -with volun
teers. It wa3 well for tho old men
In the service that it ended soon af
ter the fall of Santiago."
The chief of staff declared that at
- tor a soldier had been three years
In the aJrmy. it bo-umes a monoto
nous existence to ira, that he doe
not tako interest in drills, that be
objects to being thrown in with re
cruits and that general dissatisfac
tion results, to tho detriment ot the
service.
"A three year enlistment with a
reserve corps is tho right plan. 1
belong to that military school that
Is opposed to long enlistments,"
continued General Wood.
"Here is tho situation that con
fronts u& today. Most of tho young
men join the army with the Idea of
seeing something of the world. For
a time tho service Is a novelty and
they take an interest In their work.
What happens if these same men
re-enlist? They must go over, day
after day, tho same drills, the same
maneuvers. The old-timers know It
all, yet they are expected to go out
on tho field1 with a lot of recruit
who are Just learning.
Interest Decreases.
Naturally, this becomes irksome
and all ot the Interest In the work
iierarts from the soldier, who re
mains In the service year after year.
We are trying to discoura&u the
professional soldier. We do not want
him. Speaking frankly, the man who
stays in the service for thirty years,
at the cad of which time ho may re
tire, but woo never rises above the
tank ot a private. Is not a good sol
dier after all.
lt le said that some of these men
remain privates because they do not
vrant to assume the responsibilities
attached to the position of a non
commissioned officer. That does not
speak well lor them. A man wuo
nhftka responsibility n this way has

Soma work for tho insurrectos

available in that territory, together
with troops from this section, will be
turned on the revolutionists in thn

activity. Little fear that the return
of Gen. Reyes will have a disturbing

Tonight the rebel leader Issued Ihe
following statement commenting en
tho utterances of Gen. Keyes at Ha
vana. Tranqullizlng Effect.
'The declarations of Genera' Keyes,
made at Havana, are extremely tran
qullizlng to those who saw in him
danger to the public peace. I person
ally never have entertained such
fears, but it pleases me that he ha
expressed himsell in such explicit
terms because he thus facilitates onr
work of pacifying tho country and
adds to the confidence of foreigners
In us. With all Mexicans united and
inspired by the highest patriotic sen
timent which In the present time
guides all parties, eradicating, as
General Reyes well says, all sorts ot
personal ambitions, there is no doubt
but that Mexico very soon will repose
In peace, prejudice which has caused

Last Visit to Chamber

Afternoon

TO GIVE DIAZ CRUISER
As He Leaves. Francisco I.
Madero Will Enter
the Capital in
Triumph
MEXICO CITY, May 23j Notwith
standing tho official signing of the
peace agreement, the capital is more
nearly Isolated tonight thep since tho
inauguration or hostilities. Ignorant,
apparently that the war Is endod- of
ficially, one email band of rebels un
der Candido Navarro last night cut
the National railroad near San Felipe,
south ot San Luis Potosi, and an
other band stopped all traffic over
tho Mexican railroad .by ripping out
tho rails ani burning a bridg-j near
iluamantle.
Ignorant of Peace.
This revival of rebel activities was
not regarded as meaning that the
Insurrectos will refuse to abide bj
the terms of tho peace treaty. Yes
terday the armistice agreed upon
came to a. close and it is believed
not Impossible that there are bun
i dreds and possibly thousands of reb-
' nntry is officially at peace.
At tho foreign office and in other
government circles almost every oao
expressed optimism believing thai
the peaceful solution ot all difficul
ties is near.
Prepare for Attack.
Unofficially this optimism is not so
apparent Within tho last sevemdays
the federal garrison has been great-
ly strengthened- and the capture of
tho capital would now be difficult.
From Cucrnavaca comes a dlsauiet-
Ing rumor today that the Figueroas
will tnot agreo to stop fighting
unless the cabinet chosen Is accept
able to them.
Fight Among Themselves.
It is reported also that Figueroa
and his chief lieutenant, Asunsolo.
are not thoroughly in accord and that
Asunsolo has incurred tho enmity of
Zapata, the captor of Cuatla, -whom
ne nas oranded as a bandit. It is
not tapwslbto that tbe forces of thoro
two may yet come in conflict. Such
dissension has the effect of minim-
tno gouth,
Diaz's Last Visit.
Unless there is a hitch in the plans
General Diaz will present his resig
nation to the chamber of deputies
tomorrow afternoon. He is expect
ed to go to the chamber personally.
Accompanying him will be tho fam
ous presidential guards, and his visit
will be attended by all the ceremon
ies ordinarily observed. Vice Presi
dent Corral's resignation Is said to
have been received.
Just prior to the resignation of the
president, it is expected that all mem
bers of the present cabinet with the
exception of Minister of Foreign Re
lations de la Darra will resign. Their
letters of resignation will be deliver,
ed to Minister de la Barra ror trans
mission to the president.
Will Leave Soon.
When Diaz will leavo Mexico is not
generally known, but it is certain
that not many days will elapse after
his resignation. With him. will go
his entire family, including his son,
Porflrlo Diaz, Jr.
It has been thought that the Jour
ney to France would be made on an
ordinary steamer, but today the
French legation, acting upon the re
quest of the French colony, asked is
government to place a cruiser at
the general's disposal.
. Many Others to Retire.
Almost coincident with the resig
nation ot President Diaz, it is expect
ed will be offered tho resignation ot
many army officials and federal Min
orities who prefer to retire, instead
of awaiting possible elimination by
the Madero government. Among
thoa ";nown to have presented their
rcsiaatlons Is Gen. Garcia Cuellar,
tho officer who commanded the fed.
erals at the battle of Casas Grande.
Another probable resignation is that
of Gnelarmo do Lancia Y Escando,
governor of the federal district.
A Brilliant Event.
Francisco L Madero's entry into
the capital will be a brilliant event.
At tho station there will bo men
whose claims for tamo havo been,, es
tablished in tho last six months, as
well aa men who have long enjoyed
tho gopd- will of the old government.

WATER SUPPLY NEEDED
Water Company Is Preparing
Data Concerning Cost
and Requirements
for Supply
At a special meeting of the city
council last night Mayor Edmundson
and Aldermen Nowman, Henderson,
SchmMf German aiid Hughes were
present. While there xias not a
great deal accomplished deflnitely, a
number of important matter: were
discussed and this evidenced tho
fact that Bisbee's city council is
earnestly at work to keep the city
affairs in the best shape possible.
City Engineer Zeisiner prescntea a
plat flung tho grade up Tombstone
canyon from Masonic temple to the
Metz soda works. It was approved
by the council and the city attorney
was directed to draw an ordinance
establishing, tho grade as platted.
Attorney J. M. Roes presented a
bill for 5G.075 on account of a Judg
ment against tho city in favor ot
Mrs. Braziel. The matter was laid
on the table.
City Plumber Perry reported 21
feet of water in the reservoir and
that he -was pumping at the rate of
12.000 gallons per day and that 7,500
gallons por day was being taxen oui
for sprinkling purposes.
It was reported that the cost of
extending the sewer up Tombstone
canyon from .the Lincoln school to
i the cltr Hmlts, nine-tenths o:annlle,
would bo $1,500. A portion of this
extension would bo of eight-Inch pipe
) and some would bo six inch plpo.
It was suggested that tho street
committco should make an examina-
!tlon staining .walls a1 proposed
extensions and decide what was
necessary to be done before tho
rainy season started, for protection o
streets and property. The street
committco after deciding what is im
peratively necessary will confer with,
the finance committee regarding
tunds available. -Tho committee will
start on an Inspection trip ,at 4
o'clock tills evening from the Fair
store.
Alderman Henderson suggested that
there were several places where ex
tensions to the sewer could be made
at little expense which would accom
modate a number of homes. The
street committee was asked to look
into these matters and report. The
city attorney suggested that In any
extension of tho sewer a right-of-way
should be taken from owners of
property through which it passed.
Alderman Oilman brought up the
matter of providing water for the
cemetery, which has had no water
for two months. It was suggested by
Alderman Schmid that it should be
easy to raise money by public sub
scriptlon for this purpose. Tho clerk
was directed to notify the lodges ot.
the city to send representatives to
meet the water committee of the
council in tho city hall at 4 o'clock
Saturday evening.
Fire Protection
Alderman Nowman brought up tho
matter of tho proposition made to
tho city bv a representative of tho
fire insurance companies for cheaper
insurance for tho city. Mayor Ed
mundson stated that Mr. Reed .of
tho Blsbee-Naco water company nau
told him that he was having some
data prepared and that he would"
probably bo ready to meet the coun
cil, or a committee, at an early day,
when the matter of the requirement
of an additional supply of water to
bo available in caso of a .series of
tires could be discussed intelligently.
It is believed by several members of
the council and perhaps all of them
that it is possible for the council to
effect a very important saving to
the property owners of Bisbee in the
matter of fire insurance rates. The
insurance expert, who recently visited
Bisbee, found that the city water
supply, while adequato perhaps for
putting out an ordinary fire, was not
sulnclently reliable to Justify nny re
duction in rates. It was, however,
pointed out that if the city would
provide an additional source and sup
ply ot water which shall be avallablo
at all times to the extent of ono
thousand gallons per minute deliv
ered in their reservoir, a substan
tial reduction In insurance rates
would bo granrcd to Bisbee.
In consideration of this condition
and the ultimatum of the board ot
fire underwriters, tho mayor and
