IN POSSESSION PLE CREEK, COLO. Secretary of War Root, In submitting his annual report to the president says that on the 1st of December, 1902, the date of the last annual report, the army of the United States consisted of 3,586 officers and 66.003 enlisted men, a total of 69,589. In addition, there were in the service 3,598 men of the hospital corps excluded by the act of March 1, 1887, from classification as part of the enlisted force of the army. There were also in the service 182 volunteer medical officers and 4,978 enlisted men of the Philipofficers pine scouts and twenty-nin- e and 840 enlisted men of the Porto Rico regiment. At the date of the last reports received from the military departments, October 15, 1903, the Declares FaGovernor of Colorado mous Gold Camp is in a State of Insurrection and Rebellion. Governor Peabody of Colorado has Issued a proclamation declaring Cripple Creek under martial law and suspending the writ of habeas corpus. He declares that the gold camp is in a state of insurrection and rebellion and that the civil authorities are powerless. In support of his action the governor cites the blowing up of the portion of the Vindicator mine and other acts of lawlessness, and he declares that it is impossible to control the turbulence of the camp by ordinary peaceable methods. The proclamation does not state la bo many words that martial law has been declared and that the writ of habeas corpus has been suspended, but officials at the state house say that both these things are Intended. The military will now deal with all alleged offenders and try and punish them. Governor Peabody bases his decision to declare limited martial law on the decision of the Idaho supreme court, which declared that the act of the governor of Idaho in putting into force to a limited extent martial law in the Coeur d'Alene was in thorough harmony with the constitution of that state. The constitutional provision relating to the writ of habeas corpus In this state Is similar to that of the Idaho constitution.
