was designed to entrap me into an
admission that the company was for
Burns and / had made such admission.
Suffice it to say that my whole in
terest in this matter was because Of
the earnest desire of Mr.. De Young to
be United States SENATOR / had dis
cussed the matter with him, las / have
said, at different times. If he had not
desired to be United States Senator I
should not have. had any interviews
with him upon that subject. 1t was
my desire to have amicable relations
between Mr.. De Young and the COM
pany / represent and to protect the
company from his hostility / may
have been over-anxious to accomplish
this purpose.
There is no doubt that if the COM
pany had been agreeable to the pro-
gram proposed by Mr.. Spreckels and
MIR. De Young they would have been
glad to have it's cooperation. This in
cident simply represents the expert
ence of the company, which is when
those who solicit it's aid and co-opera-
ton in political matters are refused, lC
incurs their hostility, and they de-
nounce its interference in politics as
entirely l1nwarranted; whereas, If the
company had acceded to their wishes,
it would have been welcomed as a
respectable ally"

indorsed by the Secretary. OF the
! Military Academy, for instance, he in
dorses the recommendation for an in
crease I'M the number of cadets by twen-
ty annually to be appointed by the
President, and one by each Senator, to
supply the officers needed for the army
of the future.
Of the Adjutant Generals recommen-
dations, the Secretary says they are
judicious, and merit the favorable con-
sideration Of Congress. Instead of in
crease of pay for officers serving in the
West Indies and Philippines to the
next higher grade, as recommended by
the Adjutant General, the Secretary
thinks that the pay of those officers, as
we'll as those in Alaska, should be in
creased fifty per cent. while they are
so serving, because of the additional
expense they are put to.
He says the question of payment for
damages to farms and other property
by movement Of troops will be made the
subject of special communication to
Congress. He recommends that $50
instead of $40 should be allowed for the
apprehension of deserter
In the Subsistence Department, the
Secretary finds an urgent need for a
Regimental Commissary, and also for
Commissary Sergeant for each regf-
ment
Discussing the Surgeon Generals re-
port, he says it was a mistake to detail
regimental surgeons to large hospitals.
but this could not have been avoided
and division and general hospitals,
which were indispensable, maintained.
Ample provision should be made to
supply the places OF surgeons who fall
sick.
One of the great mercies of the cam
paign were the women nurses. The re-
port says that until one has had expert
ence or has made careful observation,
he cannot realize the work that these
noble women did for our sick soldiers
in the hospitals; but they cannot be
we'll employed at regimental hospitals
in campaign.
Both the division and general hos
pitals are absolutely necessary, in the
opinion of the Secretary, but the gem
eral hospital should be provided with
separate wards for each regiment so
that comrades could be kept together
The Secretary says the Red Cross and
other relief associations contributed in
a very large degree TO the care and
comforts of our sick soldiers. and
should receive the grateful thanks of
the nation.
The Secretary calls attention to Sur
geon General Sternberg's circular of
instructions to the army, issued April
25th, and says had it been strictly fol-
lowed, less sickness would have re-
suited. j
He feels that a force Of practical en-
) gineers, skilled in electricity, should be
provided, and that large number OF
engineers should be educated at West
Point, so that an officer can be placed
permanently with each river and harbor
project, These projects should also re-
ceive Recommendation Of az board of.
skilled engineers before appropriations
are made for them.

A CUBAN STORY.
The First of the Forthcoming Crop
of Tales From Our Boys.
eFrom the Detroit Free Press.)

tFrom the Detroit Free Press.)
1T was after the fight at Caney." said
the colonel between long pulls at his
short-stemmed black brier pipe.
1.-The boys were all tired out. you know;
they had been keyed up 10 concert pitch
so long that when it was all over and the
relaxation came they were like dishrags.
Everything was quiet and only now and
then would Mauser bullet sing in our
ears, for the sharpshooters were still at
their deadly work. II was necessary that
they should be dislodged from their
perches in the trees. and 10 bring about
such an end a means was adopted that
was original and grimly humorous. With
us, before Caney, was the Tenth United
States Cavalry, a regiment of colored
troops, seasoned fighters, and as brave
and soldierly a crowd of men as ever
snapped Krag-Jorgensen. Upon them
devolved the duty of cleaning out the
sharpshooters. They were ordered TO
take up their rifles and go out cunning
for the Spaniards, singly and in little par
ties of two and three and four.
when the order was given those color
ed boys let out a yell of delight that
1t seems to me must have been heard in
Havana They started helter skelter from
the camp. The delight they took in the
work was deadly humorous. 1t was simp-
ly a coon hunt or a squirrel shooting
bee to them One would duck in and out
among the bushes and wriggle on his
body through the grass, his eyes fixed
on some tree or other. He would spot a
sharpshooter half concealed up there in
the branches and creeping up would pop
a bullet at him. The aim was, in every

TO REDUCE THE PRICE.
stamped Envelopes and Wrappers
VIII Become Cheaper.

The Postoffice Department has decided
to reduce the price of stamped envelopes
and newspaper wrappers, and an order
to this effect Is expected to be issued
shortly from the Postmaster Generals
Office. 1t is not the policy of the Govern
ment to make money on the sale of en-
velopes, and the extremely low bids which
have been made by manufacturers will
allow the reduction to be made.
The price to consumers will be but very
little more than the Government pays,
only enough to cover the cost of handling
and transporting them. This is regulated
by an act OF Congress of July u, 1876,
which provides that no stamped envelope
or newspaper wrapper shall be sold by
the Postoffice Department at less Tin ad-
dition TO the legal postage) than the cost,
including all salaries, clerk hire and other
incidental expenses. -t
Under the new schedule stamped envel-
opes will be sold for four cents bunch,
with the price of the stamps extra. OF
course this would make a bunch OF twen-
ty-fiye two-cent stamped envelopes, gov
ernment grade, cost "a cents. These
prices will doubtless operate TO the detri-
ment OF the small stationers, as they will
be unable to compete with Uncle Sam at
these prices.
