better treatment than we got

miles His train picked up sleeping cars
at some cross line in Wisconsin when he
was coming into Chicago. 1t was Dams

there his duty stopped. 1t was the pusi-

His passenger was not there. He made

The porter had so understood the con-

''Dan sat down and filed both sides Of

A LIEUTENANTs LESSON.
How He Was Taught to AcIxnowI-
edge SnIutee.

COtSG oAAuACNs
When Gen. W. NJ. Graham was colonel
of the Fifth Artillery, with headquarters
at the Preside In San Francisco, he had
under him a young officer, lately from
West Point, on his first detail This
young officer, says the New York Sun,
fell into the habit of disregardng the sa-
lutes of the enlisted men around the post
They noticed the omission, of course, with
much comment Probably Col Graham
heard of the matter.
One afternoon, when the colonel was
walking from his Office to his quarters
with his orderly about thirty feet be-
hind him, the young West Pointer came
down the gravel path from the opposite
direction. He saluted his colonel. and
the salute was promptly returned; but
he was apparently too much preoccupied
to see the salute of the orderly, and did
not return It, He did not know that the
gruff and sturdy colonel had wheeled
around and was watching him. When the
young man had passed the orderly, the
colonel hailed him:
Lieutenant A word with you"
The young lieutenant walked back to
the colonel.
'One Of the requirements of officers In
this army" said Col. Graham, lis that
they shall return salute for salute. Or
Derby salute the lieutenant Lieutenant,
salute the orderly!'
The Lieutenant blushed and saluted the
grnping orderly.
Now, lieutenant" continued the colo
mel. you and my orderly may pace back
and forth in opposite directions for awhile
both of you observing regulations as you
come in salutlng distance of each other"
The colonel sat down on a rustic bench,
and for a few minutes watched the two
men exchange the courtesies obligatory
upon private and general alike. 1t is said
that the young officer has not Disregard
ed the humblest salute since that time.
Most readers have heard the old story
told of Gen. Washington, who, when Pres
ident OF the United States, was passed by
a slave. The general was surrounded by
his brilliant staff. AS the colored man APP
preached he saluted with becoming hui
mility. This the STAFF did not notice, but
Cen Washington bowed and lifted his
hat
When asked why he condescended to no.
tice a black man, he made the memorable
reply:
Am 1 to be outdone In politeness by a
negro?"
The recognition Of courtesy is one of the
things that mark the difference between
boor and a gentleman.

TO HOLD A FORCE IN CUBA.
SPANISH INTEND TO RETIRE ONLY
WHEN PEACE TREATY IS SIGNED.

Washington officials Declare That
Undergo No ChRnge-Americans to
he Masters in Cuba on Dec. Re-
CARELESS of the Wishes of the Mad
rid crnment-Spaniards Can
Remain Only Uncle Sans
Guests.
Madrid, Oct. 1.-THE Spanish govern
ment announces its intention to maintain
a strong force of troops in Cuba until
the treaty of peace with the United States
is definitely signed. Immediately after
peace is signed, the Cortes will be con-
vened and measures dealing with the re-
organization of all the state departments
will be submitted to Parliament.
Washington, Oct. 11.-When the atten-
lion of the officials of the war department
was called to-day to the statement made
in Madrid, that a strong force of Spanish
troops would be kept in Cuba until the
treaty of peace had been signed, it was
simply stated that there had been and
would be no change in the orders to the
United States troops, and that the instruc-
tions given to the American military COM
mission in Havana to lake possession of
the island on Dec. /, irrespective to the
presence of or the absence of the Spanish
officials. would be vigorously adhered to.
The Spanish troops may stay in Cuba
for time after that date if evacuation is
not complete but they viii be no longer
the masters of the island. and the United
States officials viii administer all of its
affairs.
The United States military COM
mission in Cuba, fixing Dec 1 as the
date when Spanish control over the island
must cease.
The commissioners, acting on these in
structions, have notified the Spanards
that all ports and customs receipts, and
the management of municipal affairs viii
pass into the hands of the American mil
itary commander in the island. This or
der was not intended to work hardship 10
the Spanish troops or government but it
was thought best to fix a definite time to
end the Spanish rule and to begin opera
tons under the United States. 1t is prob
able that the United States troops will
go 10 Cuba before that time. BY Dec ],
il is expected to have troops so stationed
that there will be no need of Spanish
troops to preserve order. The proclama-
tons that have been Issued by the Presi-
dent, establishing custom rates and de-
filming the manner in which Cuban terri
tory shall be governed will prevail until
it becomes apparent that new regulations
are needed.
On Oct IS, Gen. Brooke will assume alb
solute control of the island of Porto Rico.
1t is possible that all the Spanish troops
will not have left Porto Rico at that time;
If so, they will be quartered in barracks
until they can be taken away. In the
language of Secretary Alger, the United
States will be the host, and the Spanards
the guests after Oct. 49, The United States
will not ship the remaining troops to
Spain al its own expense. That was no
part of the protocol The custom houses,
the money received for customs, and the
government of the island will pass com
pletely from Spanish control on the date
sci. The present custom regulations I'M
der the proclamation Of the President will
prevail.
