Stimulating Honesty.

The way to avoid leading farr: ers
.nto temptation in the matter of W. err
Ing milk is to use the Babcock test in
buying milk. 1t is the only honest way
by which we mean that it is the only
way in which every man will get his
own. We venture the assertion with
the utmost confidence that if the test
was adopted and every mans test put
in plain sight in the creamery where
the farmers could see it, many of the
cows in that creamery would at once
see the necessity of furnishing milk
richer in butter fat. The reason that
would begin the reform is not that
watering milk is universal, or even
common, but because the farmer would
so handle his cows in the way of feed,
and particularly in the way Of milk
ing. as to put more butter fat into the
milk. Freedom from excitement and
proper care. we think, would at once
put mere butter fat into the milk.

army REORGANIZATION BILL.

Hnrhntry Hoping That IL May Get ThreuGh
Congress Hou-Gen. Merritt Approves.
Infantry officers are discussing eagerly the
probabilities or the passage OF the Army Reor-
ganisation bill. which. It Is said. Chairman Hull
of the House Committee on Military Affairs will
soon bring forward. A Sun reporter yesterday
asked Gen. Wesley Merritt, commanding the
Department Of the East. for his opinion Of the
project Con. Merritt said:

this: Every regiment 10 to be divided into three

filled with men. The third will be o skeleton
regiment. This would not increase the num-
bers Of the present ARMY, but would simply

I'm case Of war every skeleton battalion could
be filed M and increased TO q regiment by the
accession of volunteers. The other battalions
could also BIO made into regiments and 10 for each
regiment a. now constituted we would have
three regiments ready for action. My own idea
would be to t~ransfer. in the case Of each regi.

Foreign Newspaper.

SIeciai Cable DeSpatch TO THE Sun.
LONDON, March IA despatch to the Times
from Havana says that the Maine Court Of
Inquiry has concluded its report. which will be
presented to Government Mt Washington within
a fortnight. Nothing is known regarding the
opinion OF the members of the court or the re.
suit OF their inquiry.
A despatch to the Times from Madrid de-
scribcs the Spaniards as being in q nervous mood.
their condition being such that the slightest hint
OF good will from a foreign paper 10 clutched
at as an earnest of an impending alliance. They
even heed such ridiculous inventions as the
story that Emperor William declared at a pri-
vate dinner that 30 long as he was Emperor the
Yankees should not possess Cuba.
The Tfmes's correspondent recalls that there
will be two verdicts in the Maine case. Tho
verdict Of the Spanish court Of inquiry is daily
expected from Havana. He says:
THE Spanish Government will find it difficult
to dissent from the judgment of its own com.
mission should the reports Of the two courts
conflict"
The Times publishes a letter from its Havana
correspondent reviewing the three disastrous
years since the outbreak of tho revolt. He com-
putes that the rebellion has cost Spain $780,.
100000 while the drain of men has been equal

either been returned to Spain as invalids or

In an editorial the Times says: President
Mckinley is confident of the ability of
the United States to cope with any
situation the publication of the Maine
report muy create. He knows that he
does not need to anticipate the course Of
events. He cannot moro surely tranquilize public
opinion and secure fair play for pacific en-
deayors than by convincing the American poo
pie that he is prepared for all contingencies"

Capt. Sampson received your correspondent
very pleasantly, but naturally did not answer

The correspondent. however, Is in a position
to say that tho board hos decided to postpone
its return to the United States indefinitely, be.
cause the naval experts, Powelson and Olsen,
declare that they cannot exactly say when their
examination of the keel OF the Maine and Its all.

are making q very minute examination. Every

make a resume for the board.
Diagrams showing tho boilers of the Maine
were sent for and have been received from tho

divers will resume their work tomorrow.
The last important reports heard by the board
have been those of Capt. HaGEarty of the Mer.
rift Wreoking Company and Mr.. Dryer. another
naval expert. Capt. HagRarty's testimony Is
considered Of great weight, because he has had
an experience Of forty years in submarine

LONDON, March 13.--The knowledge that the
danger OF an immediate rupture between the
United States and Spain has been postponed has
brought discussion here back to the merits Of
the Cuban question. The Daily Graphic, in an
article deprecating a war arising from the Maine
disaster, says:
"A war for the liberation Of Cuba would be
quite q different matter. On that issue our
sympnthies would be fixed. not only by q sense
o fkinship and tho horrors of the Spanish colonial
system, but also by the political tradition wisely
laid down by Canning in 1924"

SETTING THE TESUYIUS READY.
she May Have 10 Run Up 10 Norfolk To Adjust
Her Dynamite Guns.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March l3.-Emergency
orders have been received by the officers Of the
dynamite cruiser Vosuvius, and for the past
week the crew have been at work getting the
ship into proper shape for instant service. 1t
has been known that the air valve and other
parts Of the air reservoir apartment of the dy-
Mantle guns have not been in tho bsst of order
for several DAYS, and tho machinists have been
working hard to remedy the trouble, but it has
been found out that they could do nothing, and
that the cruiser must go north to some yard
where they can secure appliances and machin-
cry that cannot be had here.
II is thought that the cruiser will go out In
the morning and take a run to Norfolk and there
have the repairs made at once. Commander
Pillabury has been ordered to make room In his
shin for ten tons OF ammunition that is now
coming. This will be done at once by placing on
shore some ordinary stores. Besides this some
six-inch rapid. fire rifles will be mounted amid.
ships behind shields.
The vessel now only has her battery of three
two.pound rapid.fre guns, but her main do
pendence is upon her three dynamite guns.
"The vesuvius would DO one of the greatest
and most destructive vessels %afioat." said one of
the officers last night. "She has her dynamite
guns that would sink ships before they could
get a chance TO. harm her, She is low in the
water, long and SLIM and with wonderful speed,
