Herbert appealed to the legislative branch
OF the government 10 authorize the en-
,argement OF the number OF enlisted men
by two thousand pointing to the number OF
new ships that will be completed and
termed over to the navy I'm the course OF
year or two "a the basis for his appl-
cation. The appropriation committees,
however, saw fit to cut this number down
to one thousand additional men. Now
the battle ships Maine, at the New York
navy yard, and the Texas, the Norfolk
yard, will be ready TO so into commission
this summer. To man these two ships
about seven hundred men will be required.
and as the Lancaster is also to go into
service as a practice ship, three hundred
men must be assigned to her. Thus the
entire additional one thousand men allowed
by Congress viii be absorbed. Meanwhile
the biz battle ships Indiana, Oregon, Iowa
and Massachusetts, are rapidly approaching
place on them unless the department shall
put out OF commission some other ships
and transfer their crews to the new YES
sells. There are already lying at the Mare
island navy yard several war ships that
the department could put to good service
II they could be manned, and il is said
that many of the ships now in commission
are manned with crews far below their
natural quota, thus imposing unduly heavy
tasks on the few men employed and tend
ing 70 foment discomfort among them. 1t
IL probabie that when Congress meets
again the Secretary of the Navy will be
Obliged TO make a prompt appeal for more
men or 10 allow our war ships to remain
idly tied up at their docks when they are
needed Tor foreign service.

THE STANFORD SUIT.
Judge McKissicl<'s Argument i'm Be-
half of the Government.

SAN FRANCISCO, June Judge McKis-
sick, special counsel for the government,
made his argument in the suit against the
Leland Stanford estate. to-day, in the
United States Circuit Court. He endeav-
ored to demonstrate that the debt which
was created under the act of Congress of
1892 was merely a statute limitation, and
not a condition, the Stanford counsel
contended. He showed that each stock
holder is liable for the debts of the cor
poration. He argued that the railroad had
entered into a contract with the govern
ment, and as a result certain liabilities
were created. The railroad had accepted
the land grants and agreed to pay the
bonds on maturity. The government had
exacted the railroads pledge that it would
maintain the road in good condition, trans
port the mails for certain fixed sums and
pay into the treasury of the United states
certain percentage of the dividends In
order to redeem the bonds when they ma
tured. Counsel argued that Congress had
imposed "a personal liability. The govern
ment was not dealing with an inanimate
body, like corporation, but with the
stockholders themselves.

WASHINGTON. June 7.-Thei report from
Florida as to the dispatching OF three tor
pedo boats with Cuban revolutionary
party is thought by Spanish officials here
to be a ruse to divert attention from move
ments at other points. 1t is stated that the
torpedo boats could make but a feeble
showing against the large fleet OF Spanish
cruisers and gunboats no~ patrolling Cuban
waters. 1t is said that Gen. Rafael Que
sada is the moving spirit OF the present
operations and that he is now at Abita
Springs. Florida dispatches mention a Con
ZalO De Quesada as one Of a revolutionary
board meeting at Ocean Beach, Fla. This
General Quesada is a former secretary TO
Jose Marti. The latters death is now con-
ceded by revolutionary leaders, according TO
adyces received here.
Department officials do not attach any
Importance to the statement of the London
Standard that Spain would make a claim
against the United States based on the
precedent of the Alabama claims for per-
States in aid of the Cuban cause. IL is said
that no definite information of this aid
has yet been given ana that whenever IL
is given the United States will use every
available means to suppress the traffic. In
this connection official attention has been
directed 10 the open carrying OF the flag
of the Cuban revolution by armed bands
in the streets of Tampa, Fla

AN UNFORTUNATE OFFICER.
The Case of Commander j. VI. Quack-
enbush, of the Navy.

The Case of COmmn nder j. VI. QUack-
enbush, of the Navy.
WASHINGTON, June THE application
of John Nj. Quackenbush, late commander
United States navy, for a writ of manda-
mus TO compel Secretary Herbert TO restore
his name to the rolls OF the navy, came UP
In the District Court to-day the question
at issue being whether a rule should issue
requiring Secretary Herbert to show cause
why the mandamus should not be granted.
Quackenbush was tried by court-martial
and sentenced TO dismissal from the navy,
but his sentence was commuted by the
president 10 suspension for six years. Be
fore the expiration of this time the officer
next below him In rank was promoted into
his place and later Secretary Chandler re-
moved his name from the rolls. Quacken-
bush applied repeatedly to Congress for
refnsta tement and several times nearly sue
ceeded in his efforts.
said he was of opinion that his court had
no jurisdiction, the only remedy lying with
Congress. He continued: ''The case how
ever, is one to excite the sympathy of any
unprejudiced person. The record shows that
it was not the intention of Ire President
or Secretary of Navy to dismiss Quacken-
bush and that he was dismissed accident
ally by the promotion of another officer
to his place He could have been restored at
any time by recommendation to Congress-
made by the President or Secretary and
the delay in doing this reflects on the hold
ers of these places. Simple justice demands
his restoration, and, IL 1t is possible, l will
must decide that the court has no jurs-
1irtion -

ing of this motion was fixed for Monday.

Changes I'm Drill Regulations.

WASHINGTON, June 7-General Ruger.
since his arrival in Washington, has been
devoting his entire time to work on the drill
regulations and the manual of arms, making
the movements suitable for the new gun
which has been adopted for the use of the
army. 1t has been found that the important
changes made in the regulations necessitate
generally a revision of the ph-aseology of
the entire tactics, SO that large percentage
OF the changes are verbal 1t is expected
that the National Guard will adopt the reg
ulations as soon as they are promulgated
by the War Department. The guns used by
the army and the National Guard are differ
ent but it is expected that the regulations
can be adapted TO the use of the latter with
out material changes.
