Summary of the Report of the Secretary oH

Summary of the Report of the Secretary o3
 War.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The annual report of the secretary of war, which has been submitted to the president, is very voluminous document, contain ing about 15,O00 words It gives the usual review of condition and opera tions of the army and in addition is de- voted especially to the progress of the work on seacoast defenses. Following is synopsis of the report:
 Secretary Lamont reports that it may be assumed that Indian warfare, is practically at an end in the United States; that demands for the em- ployment of the army to preserve order within the states must be- come infrequent as state authority, on which that obligation properly rests. demonstrates it's complete ability to dis chargeit and that, in consequence, the gradual concentration of the army on the seacoast and the frontiers is pre- scribed by the conditions of the time. Any considerable increase in the num- bers of the army would not meet with popular favor and is not suggested by any contingency, immediate or remote; but the work of fertilization at thirteen of our large seaports, already begun or projected for the near future, renders the conversion of portion of the in- fantry to the artillery arm a mamie st necessity of the period directly ahead of us.
 The total strength of the army on 80, 1893, was 2,144 officers and 25, 779 enlisted men. For various causes, discharge, purchase, desertion, etc, the army lost 9,456 enlisted men during the year and gained 9,O74 re- cruits Transportation was furnished 367,5 persons, SPAS animals and 99,- 692 tons of freight The new quarters, barracks and buildings at army posts compare favorably with military struct- ures abroad The discipline, health and general condition of the army are reported good.
 The secretary recommends strongly the repeal of the law fixing ten years as the maximum period of enlistment, and favors reduction of the period of first enlistment to three years instead of five. The prosecution of the experi- ment of enlisting Indian companies will be continued only on the present scale until its success or failure has been proved.

long before many people were aware Of it's
birth. The inspiration for War Department
company was furnished by Secretary Elkins in
a letter addressed to Gen. Ordway, in which the
Secretary expressed his interest in and admira-
ton for the District National Guard, and his
strong desire to see the department properly
represented therein. Over his signature ap-
peals were made by member of the Secre-
tary's staff, but although fully forty men re-
sponded. nothing was ever accomplished.
Last January three gentlemen connected
with the department met at the Columbia
Athletic Club and determined upon the or
ganization Of a company. All were enthusiastic
guardsmen and earnest workers. so it was not
at all surprising that on the 18th day Of Feb
ruary thirty-five men mustered in by
Col. Theodore Mosher. the adjutant general
Seven days later and there were eighteen more
recruits, and the following named officers were
in their respective places: Captain, Frederick
I. Wilson; first lieutenant. Robert E. Wilson;
second lieutenant. J. T. Fitzgerald. Charlton

tions will be insisted upon.
ITS OFFICERS
The company is especially blessed with good
officers chief among whom, OF course. is Capt
Frederick t. Wilson. who is a native Of Massa-
chusetts and whose military career commenced
when he was fourteen years of age at which
time be served as an officer Of the Boston High
School Cadets. Later he entered the regular
army and speedily achieved promotion For
over year he WAS drill sergeant ut the princi-
pal recruiting depot in New York harbor; he
became sergeant major. accompanied detach-
ment of 600 recruits To TIE xas and there attract
ing the favorable notice OF the commanding
general. was detached from his regiment to be
chief clerk of the military department. which
position he held until transferred to
Washington. He has assisted in the organi-
cation of six companies Of the District
National Guard and OF these he commanded
five. In the spring of 1892 he resigned
from the captaincy of the War Department
Rifles and the company Immediately declined
and refused to reorganize. Capt Wilson has a
national reputation a writer on military and
especially tactical SUBJECTS his familiarity
with the new drill regulations is probably as
great as tina: of any man in. or out of the army.

Altogether good work has been done and the
District National Guard has reason to feel
proud of the company that has been added to
1t. Within two months a hundred men have
been enlisted and not men of that character
likely to be careless as to their obligation. In
point Of numbers it is the strongest in the
guard and before long 1t can hardly fail to be a
leader In many other important particulars.
Its officers are conyersant with their duties and
all of the non-commissioned officers have seen

THE EXPELLED STUDENTS.
Col. Cook Has Concluded HI. Argument IN
Their Behalf


Yesterday afternoon Mr.. William A. Cook.
counsel for the students Of Howard University
who were lately expelled because OF alleged
misconduct. concluded his opening argument
before Justice o'Neill in the suit brought by
the students to prevent their ejectment.
Mr.. Cook claSned that the students had
rented and paid FOR their rooms in the university
buildings until Nav !. without any conditions.
and that they were entitled 10 the privileges
and quarters and could not be dispossessed
except by aue process Of Law, q proceeding
which the university had not seen proper
10 observe. He also claimed that the
government Of the university was vested in Q
board Of trustees. and could not be delegated
TO one or more OF the faculty. the powers Of
suspension and expulsion beng lodged in the
board OF trustees and not in the faculty. In
support Of his contention Mr.. Cook quoted
numerous civil aud ecclesiastical laws. all OF
which. he asserted. declared in the plaineet
terms that no one could be lawfully or rightly
expelled or suspended until alter speci-
&c charges had been drawn, the accused
acquainted with them and q full and fair
opportunity given for defense. Although such
privileges and rights had been asked BY the ac-
cused students in the present case, said Mr.
Cook, no notice whatever had been taken OF the
request. and the young men had been con-
demned unheard. And Yet. said Mr. Cook the
faculty OF Howard University. IN moral, social
and political sudsciiy, called such proceedings
justice and fair play.
At the conclusion Of Mr. Cooks argument The
hearing WAS adjourned until O'Clock Monday
afternoon, when Messrs. A. A. Birn.y a b. r.
Leighton, counsel FOR the university, Will argue
the case.

THE NEWARK INCIDENT.
Admiral Benham Makes an Omcial Repora
of His Reception at Havana

Admiral Benham Makes an Omcial Repora
of His Reception At Havana.
Rear Admiral Benham has written letter 70
the Secretary of the Navy SAYING that the report
that IAN indignity" was offered him by the
captain general Of Cuba on his recent visit 70
Havana is utterly without foundation, but that
the report is SO likely to create Q disagreeable
prejudice that be feels called upon to make .
detailed report of his reception at Havana.
He SAYS: Upon the arrival OF the Newark
and Bennington of the port OF Havana tho
pilots were received board at the usual
places and piloted the ships TO their bertm,
which were assigned to them in the most con-
venient places in the harbor. For this service
they refused compensation, they being en-
ployed by the Spanish government Officers
representing the captain Of the port and the
Spanish admiral boarded the Newark before
she had reached the inner harbor, with the offer
of any assistance or any facilities for supplies
which might be required by the ships during
their stay in port
Before the position where the usual salutss
could be fired by the Newark our flag was
hoisted at the masthead OF all five u the SPAN
ish men-of-war in the harbor and each fired .
salute of twenty-one guns, an honor which.
have never seen extended before These
salutes were returned by the Newark immedi-
ately after mooring and all vessels, including
the caravels, dressed ship at the masthesds. AZ
night these vessels were illuminated and the
next day we're again dressed.
Within half an hour after moving the Span
ish rear admiral, accompanied by his sta6.
called on me officially instead Of waiting for NJ
to make the first call, is required
Upon hauling down our flags from the cara
vels when the transfer was made, each Spanish
man-of-war fred q salute OF twenty-one guns,
and upon the Spanish flag being hosted On
board of them the Newark and Bennington
fired salutes of twentv-one guns. The next

the Spanish admiral signaled "A pleasant
voyage"
Altogether the greatest politeness and con-
sideration were shown me by the captain gem
eral. rear admiral and all other officials with
whom came in contact
