No towards in New York's Seventy
First.

If the Seventy-first New York needs
any evidence to refute the libelous
charge Of cowardice, made by the New
York World, it can be furnished. Lis
ten to what Private julius Grothen-
dich, Of Company G, Sixteenth infan-
try, told The G l o b reporter
Our regiment was in Cen Hawkins
brigade. The Sixth regulars and the Seventy
nrst New York volunteers were with US. We
were in the battle Of San Juan, and were
IN the center Of the firing line when the
charge up the hill was made. We went into
action at 10 o'clock in the morning and did
not capture the block house until after 4
IN the afternoon. 1t was the hottest fight, 1
guess, IN history. The Spaniards were in
trenched in rifle pits behind barb wire fences
and we had to drive them out one after an
other. Our brigade was able to advance
through woods and tall grass for a consid-
cradle distance. and we had reached the
open when the Seventy-f1rst began to shoot
smoke from the guns gave the Spaniards the
range. SO they could shoot accurately and kill
US off. The Seventy-frst was then ordered
back out OF the firing line, for our guns are
the rag-Jorgensens, and we used smokeless
powder, like that Of the Spaniards. 1t is an
injustice to the Seventy-hrst to say that the
regiment fled from the fight 1t was ordered
to retreat so as to our lives and the
men had to obey directions. There NAV
have been a little fright, but there was no
cowardice anywhere in that battle'

Of testimony the police are winding

charged with the murder Of Emeline

man in the hat department Of Smith,

ment concerning the alleged purchase
of straw hat from him by Kennedy.
A paragraph in this statement is as
follows:

Kennedy made the weapon or even
had it in his possession. The search
for the diamonds has been equally

The selfish motives at the bottom of
all this English talk about an anglo
American understanding" aye clearly
outlined In the two letters printed in
The G ID e Of Sunday and Monday
from London. Their writer, &c. C. P.,'
is a clear-headed American, engaged
in business in England, who has had
exceptional opportunities for studying
The Englishman as he is at home. His
earlier training as a newspaper man
gives a ready flow to his pen and adds
to the keenness of his powers Of OBJ
Servation.
1t cannot be denied by those who
know the inside of newspaper CORE
spondence in New York and London
and who marvel at the ponderosity of
the English press that his railleries
are not without justification. That
these worthy gentlemen at both ends
Of the cable should have been wrought
up to a very high pitch over the idea
of some sort of an understanding or
agreement between Uncle Sam and
John Bull is quite natural. Environ
ment Is everything, and these same
gentlemen would be restored to their
normal balance, no doubt, If they were
assigned to duty at some other points
than New York and London. AS for
the society" of those two centers,
which is so absorbed in this question,

York has during the past quarter Of
q century, by It's incapacity to regulate
its port charges and otherwise attend
to it's own particular affairs, cannot
be trusted to deal for the whole United
States when trade complications
such as are involved In the English
cry for an "Anglo-American under
standing" must needs be considered
AS for the London and the New

Secretary Alger, in his capacity of
secretary Of war, appears to be unable
to square himself with the country OK
cept through the process of periodical
letters to prominent men in which he
taxes occasion to exploit his supreme
services to the country. Just now he
appears in the role of unbosoming him
self to Mr. Depew, Of New York. Just
why he should have thrown himself
upon Mr.. Depew for this purpose does
not readily appear. The proper thing
for Mr.. Alger to do would be to hold
the plug in his muzzle until he can
officially fire off his load at the forth
coming session of congress, which is
the proper body to receive it. Why
should Mr.. Alger be debating long
Screeds to private individuals with an
accompanying privilege to them Of
giving publicity to what he has to saw
on these subjects? Mr. Alger has made
himself ridiculous throughout this adj
ministration by his adulterated meth
DDS of gentility and his brazen effron-
terry, in an official sense, in his efforts
to square himself with the country in
connection with his shortcomings as
the head Of the war department.
The late war has been the most In
significant in it's mechanical detail In
the history Of the country. In it's &C
complishments the army has taken q
very limited part, although, when the
opportunity was afforded the men to
stand up and fight, they have perform
ed their work in the most commenda-
BILE fashion.
The fact of the matter is the war de-
partment has been badly managed
from beginning to end under the lead
ership Of Alger. Jealousies have pre-
vailed throughout. The most ponderous
obstruction to good conduct has been
the dominancy of the selfish purposes
and the favoritism Of the secretary of
war. When the history Of the Clrban
campaign comes to be written the
shortcomings of the surgeon generals
bureau will stand out conspicuously In
the record Of shameless incompetency
for which Gen. Alger himself Is more
directly responsible than anybody else.

NEW POSTAL REGULATIONS.
Mail Communications with the Philippine
Observation-Disclosures and Sailors
and Marines Letters.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Two orders in
regard to mail to and from soldiers and
sailors of the United States have been
issued by Postmaster General Emory
Smith. One order takes the Philip
pine islands out of the category of
places where mail communication with
the United States is suspended, and the
other revives a regulation permitting
soldiers, sailors and marines to send
letters postage upon which is to be
collected on delivery. Following is
the text of order regarding mail for
the United States forces at the Philip,
pines.
In view of existing hostilities be.
tween the United States and Spain,
which necessitates the presence Of
United States forces in service Mt and
near the Philippine islands, and of the
fact that postal communication with
said islands as one of the Spanish col
onies, is prohibited by my order, No
161, dated the Goth ultimo, it is hereby
ordered that articles of mail matter
for OF from persons connected with
said United States forces shall be sub
ject to the postage rates and condi.
tions applicable to articles of similar
character in the domestic mails of the
United States.
The articles shall be sent to com
mandauts of the forces by every op-
portunity offered by the sailing of a
United States vessel for said forces.
The sailing dates of the vessels cannot
be announced in advance, and the arti-
cles should therefore be forwarded
promptly to San Francisco in order
that they may be dispatched thence to
their destination at the first oppor-
tunity."
The regulation in regard to the mail
from forces in the field is authorized
by an act of congress passed in 1879,
and is as follows:
Letters written by officers, commits
stoned or non-commissioned, and pri-
Yates in the military, naval or marine
service of the United States to be
transmitted unpaid must be plainly
marked soldiers letter. sailors let
ter or marines letter. as the case
may be.
