MORTON CADETS WILL GO.
To Take Part In the Savannah Com
petitive Drill.

To Take Part In the Savannah Com
petitive Drill.
The Interstate competitive drill situation,
locally, underwent marked change today
when the commanding general of the Dis
trict of Columbia National Guard took
favorable action on the application Of Capt.
Edgar A. Shilling for his company to par
ticipate in the Savannah competition, May
II to Is, inclusive. This course was some
what unexpected, as it has been understood
for several weeks past, from good authority,
that the policy of Gen. Ordway was to per-
to leave the District for the purpose men,
toned. The Morton Cadets began drill in
preparation for the contest last evening,
and will continue to maneuver nightly until
the start is made for Savannah.
Almost simultaneously with the arrival
of the news from headquarters came Lieut..
w. G. Cam from Savannah as representa-
tive of the projectors of the drill. Lieut..
Cam is one OF the most prominent military
lien Of the Georgia city and is well known
to many District guardsmen as the brother
of Capt. Cam of the Georgia rifle team at
Sea Girt last September. Lieut. Cam to-
day visited the commanders of the local
companies who are likely to participate in
the drill and made clear many points that
have heretofore been more or less ambigu-
Gus.
AS result Of the coming of Lieut.. Cam,
it may be announced, practically as GER
tainty, that the amount of the first prize in
the interstate drill will be raised from 5000
to $500, and that the Galveston semi-cen-
tennial championship cup. which carries
with it the title of champion military COM
pany of the United States, will be placed in
competition. At the request of Lieut. Cam,
Capt. Shilling will this evening forward to
the commanding officer of the Thurston
Rifles of Omaha, Neb the present holders
of the cup, formal challenge to compete
fer the same at Savannah.
1t is the opinion of many that the increase
in the amount of prize money will insure
the participation of the National Rifles, the
National Fencibles, and possibly the Cor
coran Cadet Corps from this city. Capt.
Domer stated today that it is possibility,
but not probability, that the Fencibles
would attend. However, Lieut.. Cam will
meet the officers Of the company this even
ing and when 1t is explained that $500 has
been added to the first prize. in addition to
2ie probable presence of the Galveston cup,
fuel will be added to the latent fame in
favor of going to Savannah, now in evidence
in the company.
Lieut.. Manson. representing the National
Rifles, has promised to agitate the matter
among the members of his company, and
WILL if possible. induce Capt. Oyster to call
a special meeting at once for the purpose of
considering the proposition. The officers of
of Corcoran Cadet Corps will also take up
the matter at regular meeting Friday
evening next. and report on the same at
meeting of the company Monday next.

Cared For.

A man named William Hanowright call
ed on Sanitary Officer Frank yesterday
afternoon with a letter from Capt Cutler
superintendent of the Municipal Lodging
House, and asked that ne be sent to a
hospital for treatment. Under ordinary
circumstances his application would have
been refused, for the reason that he is
nonresident, but his condition was pitiful
and his plea dings could not be resisted. In
the letter Capt. Cutler said that the case
was only one Of many in which non-res;-
dents are dumped here for the District
to support. Handwright. who suffered a
stroke of paralysis some time ago, is a
native CT Charleston, W. Va, forty-six
years old, and is widower. He was given
railroad ticket and sent here to be cared
for in one Of the hospitals at the expense
of the District. Under ordinary circum-
stances he would have been put on train
and sent hcme, but he begged SO hard to
be sent to hospital because he could not
get good treatment that he was sent to
Freedman's Hospital, with the understand
Ing that if he does not get better within
a rec esonable time he will be sent home.

LATE NEWS BY WIRE
Spanish Troops Again Mistake Each
Other for Insurgents.
FIRE VOLLEYS WITH FATAL EFFECT
Gomez Returns Westward From
Santa Clara.
CAPTURE OF AMMUNITION

HAVANA, March A.-Another terrible
mistake attended with loss of life and re-
sulting in many soldiers being wounded has
taken place In some manner unexplained
two columns of Spanish troops opened fire
upon each other at midday.
According to the few details received, the
columns of troops commanded by Gen. Go
doy and Col Holsuin, at the Santa Rosa
plantation, near Esperansea, province of
Santa Clara, mutually mistook each other
for insurgents. owing, it is said, to the
thickness of the sugar cane. Each detach-
ment opened fire upon the other, and for
the few minutes shots were exchanging re-
srlting in the killing of seventeen soldiers,
among them being Lieutenant Colonel Fu-
eEmayor of the Navas battalion. In addi-
tion, five officers and eighty-four soldiers
were wounded. Two of tpe latter have
since died. six others mortally wounded,
and tnirtytwo are seriously injured.
Lieutenant Colonel F'uenmayor died while
leading his troops on and shouting, Long
live SPAIN
Owing to the fact that the meeting be-
tween the columns took place at midday,
the explanation furnished by the Spanish
comma anders is considered unsatisfactory,
and court-martial will follow

The explanation given for the capture of
the three boats loaded with arms and am
mUnition at Varadero, near Cardenas, is
that CcllazO, who Is understood to have
commanded the expedition, mistook the
landing place and went ashore at Vara-
deco. instead of at the San Anton canal.

Chestnut Time,

And the foliage is painted by the artist hand
of fall,
IT'S then my heart goes backward to the days
of happy youth,
When life was glowing innocence and limo
cence was truth.
Oh, the simple songs of nature have a power
to inthrall
When the bur is on the chestnut and the chip
hunks on the wall!
Then I'm again an urchin full of frolic and of
glee,
ing chestnut tree,
all around,
As the bursting burs fall cracking in show
er to the ground.
Oh, my heart is filed with memories of youth
that never pail,
When the bur is on the chestnut and the chip
hunks on the wall!
see the gray old cider mill down by the foam
ing sluice,
Where life was bright and sunny and dream
of apple juice,
hear the old game rooster as he heralds in
the day,
And see the cattle browsing and the frisky
colts at play.
All, me! What youthful memories come flock
ing to the call,
When the bur is on the chestnut and the chip
hunks on the wall

What Next?

The Populists, who are all wild free
silverites, say they would not vote for
Bland if he continued to call himself
Democrat. And yet Bland worked for
free silver earlier, harder and longer
than any man in the Populist ranks.
He Is ADLER and honester than any man
holding a prominent place iIfthe Popu-
list party. If present party lines were
effaced and the division we're on silver
solely, Bland could poll ten votes to
every one which would go to any man
ever mentioned in connection with the
Populist candidacy.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
Oh, my! Oh, my! Here is the lead
ing Republican paper of the west all
riled up and tearing It's hair in
dramatic frenzy because the PoPulist
party won't endorse Bland. Republic
cans know that such course would be
death to the Populist party, and that IL
what they want.
These pestiferous Pops must be abb
sorbed back into one or the other of
the old parties, or else 1t will wipe them
both off the earth. If neither one Of
them can toll the Pops back they will
probably take Senator Hills advice,
and make common cause against these
meddlesome clodhoppers.
Mr.. Bland is all right on silver, but
he is in the wrong party to catch Popu-
list votes.

If a poor man receives money on
trust and fails to account for 1t at
proper time, the law calls its embezzle-
ment and railroads him to the peniten-
tiary forthwith.
If a banker receives money on trust
and fails to account for it, it is called
bank suspension" and this is the first
instance on record where it has been
regarded as criminal offense, and
then only because the bank received a
fair-sized deposit just before closing its
doors.
OF what use is it to coin all the gold
and silver in the world if it is to be
turned over to bankers without an
equivalent?
That government which fails to pro-
vide a safe place Of deposit for the peo-
pies money other than those depend
ent purely on the integrity of the
banker" is in itself failure.
The monetary "reformers may howl
all they please about all other phases Of
the money question, but their bowling
will amount to little until they pull off
their kid gloves and go to work in
earnest to take the kinks out of the
banking business.
Make the bankers give bonds to COW
er deposits or shut up shop.
The people running their own bank
ing business, through country and
township treasurers, would be good
way, too, to afford the relief demanded.
BY all means, gentlemen reformers,
If you don't do another thing toward
settling the money question, revise the
banking business, and at least make it
as honest and as fair dealing with its
creditors as other kinds of business.
