TO IMPROVE THE NAVAL MILITIA.
THOROUGH INSTRUCTION IN THE PROTECTION OF
STATE WATERS-A TWO WEEKS
CRUIsr, RECOMMENDED.

In his annual report to the AdJutant-General
Captain Jacob W. Miller. Of the Naval Militia. re-
views the work OF that arm OF the service for the
past year and makes the following rccommenda-
tions:
7 would recommend that the law he altered TO
permit first second and third class with
corresponding rates OF pay when on duty. IT does
not seem right that a new recruit should have the
same rating as a man Of five years standing. and
the different grades would excite interest and esprit
de corps. would also recommend that the chlef
OF staff OF the captain be given The rank OF CON,
mander. and that few petty officers he allowed
the STAFF for clerical work and for tabllating the
information notes which arc becoming volumlnous
and Of much value.

TALON In his report Of the cruise made by the men
says:
I consider that the cruise for the men was great
success and think that they learned great deal
as 10 their duties and the routine o. ships, but
think that the officers OF the Naval battalion would
accomplish n great deal moro II more responsibility
were thrown on them. and II they were allowed
moro to do with the handling CT the ship; and !
would recommend that a smaller Class OF ship be
ASSIGNED to such cruises. in these large ships IL
IA i'm apostolic for officers TO have any command
where large proportion OF the regular crew
remain on board.
The Board appointed b. Captain W. C. Wise

this report the committed consisting OF Lieutenant
Harry Phelps Lieutenant Mark l.. Bristol and

We are OF the opinion that the annual cruise OF
one week Is entirely short. ana shou.d De OF ~

be mpra ilcabe TO have the entire orce at sea Ior
longer periods we would suggest that the OHlce1s
be attached to the various ships Tor PERIODS OF a

Washington. JAN 1.-The story OF the dlspos
session OF a party OF Americans from Clipperton
Island by n Mexican warshp. reported by an
incoming steamer at San Francisco, as yet has no
official confirmation. All that is known at the
Mexican Legation here is that vague rumors were
ahcat that the British had taken possession OF the
island. and that With n, view to asserting the
sovereignty OF Mexico over Il. warship was sent
there TO maintain her claim. The Department OF
State has nothing at all on the subject but Is not
disturbed over the news. The law permits an
American citizen 10 locate on guano islands. such
as Clipperton solely for the purpose of taking off
the guano. but 1t must be anirmatvcly shown
that the island Is not part OF the territory Of
other nation at the time Of location. AS to Clip
perton Island therefore II IS simply question as

ties in Cuba.
Washington, March 81. - The presi-
dent remains steadfaSt in his cOnvic-
tons as to what is his duty in the
present crisis, and adverse criticism,
which it is asserted is mainly due to
misinformation as to the situation or
ignorance of the presidents purpose,
will not be permitted to swcrve him
in the least degree from the course he
has planned. AS already stated in the
Associated Press, the president some
days ago made percnptory demand
upon Spain to put an end Immediately
to Institutes in Cuba, to release the
concentrates and to permit them to
return to their homes and resume their
several occupations unmolcsted. This
statement is made by unqucstionable
authority. and since that demand was
communicated to spain the president
has not taken step backward or al
lowed himself to be persuaded into
modifying it in the least particular.
SPANS final reply to this demand. it is
known. is now receiving the earnest
consideration Of the Spanish authori-
ties Mt Madrid, and their final reply
may be reasonably expected within the
next few days. Should these demands

Decision in Markham Case

Fargo-.Judge Amidon, Of the United
States court, has denied the habeas
corpus case of Markuson, the Valley
City blind pigger who was sentenced
to the pcnitentiary for one year for
violating an injunctional order OF the
state district court by maintaining Il
common nuisance. The chief point
was whether the state had Il right to
declare such places common nuisances.
The court held that the state acted UNI
der its police powers. and all the pro-
cecllings followed naturally. The at
torncys for the defendant held that
one point raised, that of the demand
for Il jury trial. had never been passed
upon by tie supreme court of the
United States. and asked that bail be
fixed for an appeal to the supreme
court
