ARMY DISCIPLINE GOOD.
Inspector Generals Report Speaks
Well of the Service.

The report of Gen. j. c. Ercckinridge,
Inspector General of the Army of the United
States, made public yesterday, speaks
highly of the Army as icing in as &c cd
condition in respect to instruction, dis
cipline, equipment and supplies, as ever
before in its history.
Considerable attention, he says, has bcen
given to minor tactics and training in the
field, which under the present short service
term have become more pressing.
He states his opinion that the growing
improvement in the quality of the Young
men entering the Army has not abated in
the least
Much of the rest of the report consists of
"details not generally interesting, but he
especially notices the advances made in
cavalry drill.
The number of enlisted men who de-
serted during the year was 1,075, an aver
age OF l4.b per post. The Pacinc dis
trict has the least general average, "a
per cent, and the North Atlantic the great
est, 81 per cent. OF the three military
posts having the largest number of de-
sertions during the year, viz. Fort Warren,
Mass, Fort Riley, kans., and Fort Mason,
Cal, it will be noted that the location of
two of them is adjacent to large cities and
the other one is in a thckly populated coun-
try.
The scope of both the theoretical and

have been more comprehensive than in any
preceding year, and with promising efforts
toward further improvement. In the cav
airy instruction in individual horsemanship
has received general attention. The course
of equitation as prescribed in the cavalry
drill regulations is being more thoroughly
and more extensively applied than ever
before. Wherever proper facilities exist
this instruction has progressed systemati-
cally, with reasonable success. The good
results are evidenced in the better horse
manship of the individual soldier, and i'm
provement in the training of the cavalry
horse.
The lyceums and nom commissioned off
GERS schools have been carried on in ac-
cordance with the regulations and orders.
The orders Of department commanders have
been noticeably full, exacting, and detailed,
and their personal interest and attention
have greatly developed, systematized, and
perfected both drill and practice, such as
reconnaissance.

SPAIN DOESN'T MIND.
That Delaware Flag Incident VIII
Pass Unnoticed.


Pass Unnoticed.
The Spanish Legation is not likely to
make any complaint to this government
with reference TO the action OF the students
at New Castle, Del. few days ago, who
destroyed a Spanish flag. There is no
Spanish counsul at New Castle and the in
cident, to that extent, was robbed of any
official character.
Moreover. both the Spanish and Amert-
can Governments have reached so perfect
an understanding with reference to cir
cumstances of this character that litti".
if any importance is attached to them. 1t
was said at the State Department yester-
day that if a Spanish flag displayed from
a Spanish consulate or warship had been
offered an indignity the attention of the
State Department would be at once di-
rected to the matter and a suitable apology
demanded.
1t is regarded as not unlikely that the
LINGO" press of Spain may attempt to
magnify the incident but there is excellent
authority for the statement that it will
receive no official attention either at the
hands of the American or Spanish autho.-
tiles.
