A SOLDIERS LIFE.
The Experiences Our BeIding Boys In the
saith Are Meeting With
in Cuba


stan Cor Detroit journal.
From reserve work on the firing line
to outpost duty farther back, and road
building with the engineer corp, the
Thirty-fourth Michigan volunteers
have already had all kinds of expert
ence in Cuba. ! speak most especially
OF the second battalion in command of
Major Latimer. When the engineer
officers wanted one battalion OF the
Thirty fourth for road work, Col.
Petermann picked out Major Latimer's
men, and they made "A record for
themselves. One bridge was built
under direction of Lieut.. Thielmann,
over the most dangerous ford on the
river, that was Il particularly good job,
and that officer was highly compli-
mented by the engineers.
The rainy season evidently set in last
night with a vengeance for the cleo
tric storm that prevailed for a greater
part OF the afternoon and night was "A
revelation to the Michigan boys in
that regard. They were all soaked
through, the small shelter tents being
inadequate protection. The heavens
simply opened and let the rain down in
torrents that went through every
thing. The worst of is that the rain
invariably comes just at sundown,
leaving the clothing of the soldiers
wet and damp ground to sleep on.
The Thirty-foruth got its first batch
of mail from home on Sunday, July 10,
since leaving the United States, and
nothing was more thankfully received.
Lieut.. Thielmann and Sergeant Kohl
haas lugged the heavy sacks of letters
which held only first class matter, up
from Siboney, and when they reached
the second battalion, which was then
doing outpost duty, everybody let out
"a cheer. The batch included lot of
accumulated mail, so that nearly
everyone got few letters from the
bunch.
The first and third battalions of the
are very comfortably
located on the side of the hill where
the famous charge was made on July 2.
Col. Petermann has his headq quarters
with these two battalions. 1t is ex-
tremely ditHsalt to get rations to the
men at the front a. it has to be carried |
through the mountain passes on pack
mules, and there are several thousand
men To be fed daily. Hardtack fried
in SOW belly makes dish that is great
ly relished, while stewed or fried man
goes, tropical fruit which grows in
great abundance, is a great favorite
for dessert. Canned beef and tomatoes
are also issued. 1t is laughable when
six cans of tomatoes are divided among
II men in a company, each man getting
about a spoonful. Coffee and sugar
constitute the remainder of the issue
Every man is his own cook at each
meal,
Maj King assures me that none OF
the sick or wounded of the Thirty
fourth are in serious condition at
present, and their condition is not bad
enough to cause any anxiety to their
people at home.

to the inevitable" and that the
hope of amending the Morgan re-
solution "out of shape" is one of
"frail fabric" These are his
observations:
The more imminent danger
is that the news of the Speakers
more moderate attitude will pro-
duce an effect upon the Senate in
favor of ratifying the treaty. Some
of the Senators who have been
standing out against the treaty
are not absolutely welded to their
present position, and when it
comes to their knowledge that Ha
waii is to be annexed anyway by
resolution if not by treaty, they
may succumb on the ground that
nothing can be gained by further
resistance and vote to ratify.
If the foregoing are not the
notes of surrender by one psrti-
cular opposition bugler, then
surely the trumpets give an un
certain sound on the eve of de-
cisive battle.

Said TO BE Complicated with the Cuban

A Washington dispatch of Feb

"The ratification of the Haw
allan treaty is in danger. The
Administration is responsible for
this state of affairs. By it's vacil.
lation on the Cuban question it
has weakened members of its own
party. These Senators refuse to
be led any longer by a policy
which is one thing today and an
other tomorrow. In his speech
on his Cuban resolution this aft
ernoon Senator Mason sounded
the alarm. He said he could not
look westward two thousand miles
from the Pacific Coast to the an
nexation of any territory, because
it forced him to turn his back on
Cuba. This declaration was re
ceived with looks of absolute as.

CRIMINAL STATISTICS.
Clerk Of the Judiciary Criticizes star
Comments.


Referring to Editor Atkinson's
comments in Fridays Star
anent the percentage of crimina-
lily based on the population of
the country, the clerk of the Judi
ciary department is of the opinion
that it is still an open question as
to whether or not it would be fair
to exclude from the count that
proportion of our population
which is between the ages of 13
and 16 years. In this country,
children of both sexes mature
rapidly, consequently many robust
young men who are not yet 16 are
easily taken to be either of age or
are considered as adults. 1t may
be that the lawless classes are
furnished in large measure by
those who are not yet Is years of
age. At any rate, the Stars com
ment seems to infer that the Chi
nese and japanese are all adults,
whereas the Chief Justices per-
centage of criminality was esti-
mated, not by excluding the chill
dren of any one race, but by inclu
ding the children of all classes.
Why discriminate by excluding
the children of Hawaiians aud
Portuguese, and not of the other
races as well2 To exclude from
the count Hawaiian and Portu-
guese children, it would be fair
also to exclude the children of
Chinese and japanese. BY SO
doing you increase the percentage
of not only the one race, but all
races alike. According to the
Star, such offenders as truapts
and other violators of school and
the curfew laws should be exclu
ded from the count.

There Ia every reason to be.
lieve that the feeling in and out of
Congress places the Cuban ques-
ton as superior in immediate i'm
portance to the Hawaiian. The
effect of this situation, however,
may not be the shelving of the au-
nexation treaty, but its being hast
ened to determination. AS an
nexation was the first subject to
come up in an acute stage, being
pushed withal by the administra-
ton with practically full Repub-
lican backing, it could hardly be
abandoned now on account of the
Cuban, Chinese or any other
question without stultifying the
entire ruling combination. Where
the danger lies, but simply as
to the treaty, referred to else
where in a Washington dispatch,
is in having a decision forced pre-.
maturely while some friends are
disgruntled at President Nc.
Kinley on other subjects.
The foregoing premise as to
the relative standing for the
moment of the Cuban and Ha-
waiian questions has corrobora-
ton in a statement made to
representative of this paper by
visitor, who is a personal friend
of Chairman Hit of the House
committee on foreign relations.
Shortly before starting for Homo
lulu more than a month ago, this
gentleman had conversation
with Mr.. Hit. He told that
statesman he was going to Hawaii,
and asked him jocularly if he
might carry the news of annexa-
ton accomplished to the isl
anders. ooh, no." Mr.. Hit in
effect replied; "tbe Cuban matter
is of more immediate importance
to us. There is no need of hurry
with Hawaiian annexation"

the outlook for its ratification can
