st. Thomas, D. w. l., June 12.-Wal-
ter Bett, who is said to have been a secre-
tary of Mr. Crawford, the British consul
at San Juan de Porto Rico, the latter now
acting for the United States, arrived here
yesterday.
Mr.. Belts it appears, was accused of
communicating information to the United
States authorities concerning the mines
and fortifeations of San Juan, and he was,
therefore, ordered 70 leave Porto Rico
The Spaniards claim this is a fragrant
breach of British neutrality and dangerous
for Mr.. Crawford, unless it can be proved
that the latter was not the employer OF
Mr. Bett and that the expelled secretary
is not answerablo for his actions to the
British government
Mr. Bett denies having supplied the
United States authorities with the infor-
nation referred to.
Thirty-one Porto Rican refugees. most

The newspapers say that two months of

SAYING "G0OD-BY."
Takes More Nerve for a Veteran Fa-
Their to Say II Than IL Did to Go
to the Front.

From the Boston Transcript.
well known state official was stand
ing i'm the Governors party on the plat
form at South birmingham the other af-
ternoon, while the farewells were being
said 10 the boys OF the Second Regiment,
who were on the cars about to start for
Tampa. AS he glanced about he saw four
old soldiers Of the war of the rebellion,
all of whom were veterans OF the old
Thlrty-sixth Massachusetts Regiment
1.-The Thirty-sixth," he said, in speaking
of the meeting afterward, was recruited
from the very counties in Western Mas
sachusetts from which the Second Regi-
ment now comes II had the same kind OF
men in It, and 1t happens that many Of
the boys in the Second are sons of the
men who went to the front with the old
Thirty-sxth. You see. 1t was good deal
as If the two regiments had been all one
family, though one was a generation be-
hind the other. Now, take these four vet
Grams l mentioned. One was captain In
the old Thirty-sixth, and he has a son
who Is captain IN the Second and the
young fellow, as he stood on the platform,
was the living image Of his father as he
went away thirty-six years ago. Another
of this group of four Dade goodby 20 his
son as a private In one Of the Worcester
companies, and with the old soldier was
the mother of the boy, who was herself
sister of a man who marched away years
ago as comrade TO her husband. The
wife s brother died in a Confederate pris-
on starved TO death at Andersonville.
"All but one Of these four veterans was
wounded, and 1t was a touching sight TO
see the two empty sleeves In the group,
one man having lost right arm, another
left arm. while the third was badly
wounded at Spottsylvania. And II was a
hard sight for them TO see the youngsters
going away. That's one of the strange ex-
periences the veterans are having nova
days. You may not believe II, but II takes
a good deal more nerve TO stand on rail-
road platform and bid your son goodby as
he goes away with his company, than il
did to go away yourself years ago; and
more than one old soldier. who went away
10 the front in the old days as gay and
glad as you please, breaks down now
when he sees his boy leaving for the
'front.'

BIG BATCH or LIEUTENANTs.
President to Appoint 200 During
This Week.

This Week.
Washington, June 1.-TWO hundred Sec
ond lieutenants in the army are to be APP
pointed by the President during the pres
ent week. There has been a very strong
pressure made by politicians and others to
influence the President in regard to these
appointments
Without regard to political influence the
President proposes to honor graduates
from state military colleges with some OF
these appointments. He realizes that
within the next quarter of century the
young men now to be appointed may be
the ranking officers of the army and he
proposes to get the best military talent
available.
1t is the intention of the President to give
at least one appointment to the leading
military college of each state, making about
forty-five appointments of that character.
He also proposes to appoint a number of
meritorious nOn-commisisoned officers
from the regular army.
There viii still be a goodly number of
places to be distributed among young men
with substantial political backing but the
President has told his friends that their
candidates must have some military train
ing and experience, and graduates from
state military institutions will be given the
preference.

these newspaper articles as suffering. In
each case it turned out, not only had full
rations been issued for this whole time,
and that no separate article making up
the ration has been short but that two
vegetable rations in addition to the ration
had been issued to all. Not only this.
but the whole issue had been in first-class
condition.

is, the sick rate has been steadily de-
