The disgraceful treatment Score
tarv Sherman received at the hands
of the administration. has been titlv
characterized by ex-senator Ingalls,
as the eliminating of one of the most
cruel and diScreditable intrigues
that ever dishonored a political par
ty. For selfish and paltry personal
ends, it turned historical charac-
ter into puppet; made giant the
eatspaw of pigmies: exposed an in
ternational reputation to unfeeling
and unjustitiable reproval. and sub
Jected the innocent and helpless to

WHY Austria Sides With Spain.

There are many reasons for the
marked preference which Austria has
shown for Spain in the difficulties
which are now pending between Spain
and the United States.
In the first place, the queen regent
of Spain is closely related to the pres
ent emperor of Austria, and 'natur-
ally there should exist some affinity
between the two powers. In the
second place, there have long existed
feelings of enlargement between
Austria and the United States.
When the Monroe doctrine was
first proclaimed during the early part
of the present century, it was aimed
primarily to prevent the aggressive
pheIe. On this account Austria has
always associated the Monroe doc
trine and the United States together
in mingled repugnance.
Another alleged reason for the i'll
will which Austria entertains to-
ward the United States is that the
present emperor holds the United
States primarily responsible for the
overthrow and death of his brother,
Macmillan. in the latter's attempt tc
establish himself upon Mexico
throne. Other reasons are also cited
but they may fail to touch upon the
main cause OF estrangement between
the two countries, showing merely
the diplomatic ruptures which have
added to its intensity.
In the difficulties at present exist
ing between Spain and the United
States, Austria has not only clearly
sided with Spain, but has been the
controlling spirit in the movement tc
unite the European powers in alliance
with her. Failing in this attempt
Austria is still Spain's best friend
and is in charge of most of her diplo
matte affairs in the United States

COMMANDERS Of VOLUNTEERS

Wisely and we'll has the President
acted in choosing the commanders of
our volunteer army. The ma jor gen
erals and brigadier generals have all
been selected with regard solely to
their fitness to lead troops and man
age campaigns. There are no novices
among them. All have had military
training. all have seen service in the
field. With such names before the
country there can be no suspicion of
favoritism. no thought that politics
played part in their selections.
Military men for military work is the
need of the hour, and in declining to
take the commanders from civil life
the President reduces to the minimum
the dangers of mistakes, once our
army goes into actual service. To
have adopted any other policy would
have been deplorable in the extreme.
Especially gratifying to Washing
tonians are the appointment of Fitz-
hugh Lee. Joseph Wheeler and Will
liam Sewell to be major generals. be-
cause all three are so well known at
the Capital. The promotions from
the regular army are also worthy of

officers have served their country
faithfully and we'll. - Washington

ADDS GLORY TO THE VICTORY.

That which adds glory to the
American victory at Manila is the
fact that while several of the Spanish
cruisers engaged were armored, such
is not the case as to single one of
the Americans. Three of them are
protected, but not one armored.
Our Asiatic squadron, in it's arma-
mant and equipment, is not to be
mentioned the same day with the
North Atlanta squadron or the fly
ing squadron. The American navy
has been in large part made within
the past two months, but all the i'm
provements have been applied to the
squadrons in Atlantic waters, while
the Asiatic squadron has remained
unimproved. When these facts are
recalled one may we'll wonder what
would have happened off the Philip
pines # the fleet of Schley or Of Sam
son, instead of that of Dewey, had
hit the Spanish fleet. All honor and
glory, then, to the Asiatic squadron,
which, under these conditions, came
SO near sweeping the Spaniards from
the sea! 1t demonstrated, in the
most marked manner, the superiority
of American generalship and marks
manship.-Charlotte Observer.

TALKING TO THE CHILDREN.
Col. Burgwy Delighted the Children
of the public Schools Yesterday.

Col. Burgwyn delivered three
memorial addresses yesterday. Two
of them were quite impromptu but
much appreciated and enjoyed by the
two audiences that listened to them.
They were at the Murphey and the
Centennial schools. On the invita-
ton of the superintendent, Col.
Burgwyn went to the Murphey
School, where he was introduced to
all the teachers, and spoke for a few
| minutes to all the children, who
were gathered together in the capa-
cious study hall.
Col. Burgwyn then accompanied
Supt Howell to the Centennial
| school. AS this is principally a boys
| school, he told the children of the
boys in the Confederate army. He
| illustrated what war is by anecdotes
in which the boy soldiers had fig
ured.
The children and teachers appre-
ciated the favor shown them by Col.
Burgwyn. Supt. Howell, in intro
| ducing him at both schools, told Of
Col. Burgwyn's connection with the
Confederate army when only boy;
of his recent commission as Colonel
of the Second Regiment and thanked
him for taking time in the midst of
! so much business to address the
schools. Mr.. Howell also stated that
the article in recent issue of the
School Supplement on "North Caro-
lina's Part in the Civil War;" which
all had just been studying, was taken
from the address of Col. Burgwyn at
the University commencement OF
| 1898.
The scholars had already learned of
Col. Harry Burgwyn and his cele-
brated Goth North Caralina Regiment,
and fact the that they were listening
to the brother of this man, added to
the interest Of the occasion.-Raleigh

In an east side public school, where
they teach reading in the lower grades
by what IL known az the sight system
that is, by talking Of subject supposed
ly interesting to the children and then
writing sentences about it on the black
board--the following incident occurred:
The lesson related to nature and the
subject Of worms was touched upon
The teacher drew upon the blackboard
the picture Of worm and underneath
it wrote: "fhis Ii aworm. Do not step
on it, " This she read to the children,
and the lesson for the day was ended.
The next morning she called for volun-
teers to read the sentences, and little
miss Of 0 responded to the call. Wheth-
Ct the trouble lay in the fact that an
east side youngsters acquaintance with
worms IL not intimate or the teacher

MORE VOLUNTEERS WANTED.

Governor Otero Tuesday evening re-
ceived a dispatch from Major Hersey at
Tampa, Fla, stating that Colonel Loren

enlisted men 10 on the New Mexico
squadron 10 the maximum allowed by
law. The men desired are 10 be good

picked men in every respect. The gov
ernor has wired back TO know by what
time these men would have TO be In
Tampa before the regiment left Florida,
and a. soon as an answer IL received, the
recruiting Of the number will commence.
The men will be enlisted in this city and
sent on to Tampa.
The t~hirty-dye men 10 be furnished for
the New Mexico squadron OF the First
United States yolunteer cavalry, IL Is ex-
pected. will be enlisted in a very few
days, as this is q chance for the right
kind Of men to see service with q regi-
ment, that is to-day n OF the best
known In the United States and that is
composed OF exceptionally good material,
both among the officers and enlisted men.
Indeed any man, who can now Join this
regiment. should be very proud Of the
privilege. As said above, only hrst-class
men are wanted or desired or will be
taken.
NOT IN SECOND CALL.
The official order from the wal depart
ment containing instructions as to the
furnishing OF volunteers under the pres
ident's second call for 5000 men has
been received by Governor Otero and in
the second paragraph says:
"The following states and territories
having received under the presidents
drst call ali apportiOnment in excess OF
their combined quotas under the drst and
second calls, will not be included In this
order: Delaware, Idaho, Montana, Ne
yada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Yer.
mont, Wyoming, District OF Columbia,
Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and In-
dian Territories"
This means that no volunteers under
the second call will be furnished from
this territory. at any rate for the pres
ent. This is very disappointing to many
New Mexican citizens, who have already
applied for service under the second call.
A battalion Of infantry Of four COM
panies, 400 men strong, could be easily
recruited and mustered in within ten
daya-NeW Mexiean.
IL is learned that up TO yesterday af-
ternoon Gov. Otro had received no an
swer 10 his telegram TO Col. Wood, a. TO
when the thlrty-dye volunteers were
needed. The operator at Tampa, how
ever, wired message undelivered; left
town." which evidently means that the
First United States volunteer cavalry
have left Tampa for Cuba, presumably
for Santiago de Cuba.
