Some months ago Lieutenant Julien

known as Pierre Lott, was put on the
retired list, and he has been trying to
be put back on the active list ever
since. The old sea dogs of the navy,
however say that he ought To stay re-

sanction to the scheme ~ Baron Hor-

of Jewish agriculturists on 10000 acres
of the Baron's estate in Bassarabia.
The settlers will be restricted TO ag-

will be operated by Gentiles. Baron
Gunsburg hopes by this experiment

earthquake, the collapsing of the

A number of years ago the New York

1t would be interesting to learn what
are the interests active in the effort TO
remove the Naval War. College from
it's most advantageous location on
Coasters Harbor Island at Newport. to
Annapolis, as proposed by Assistant
Secretary OF the Navy Allen. The
United States Naval Academy at An
napolis is just now entering upon "A
period OF expansion. A plan for re-
organization OF the whole school plant
Is now under way, and IL is perhaps
likely that parties who fail TO under
stand the conditions and purpose of the
Naval War College fancy 1t would be a
fine scheme to add to the imposing in
stitution that graduates our naval ofii-
GERS the war college plant. But 1t is
to- be hoped that no such scheme viii
be carried through The Sun points out
how distinct aud apart Is the work OF
academy, and the peculiar advantages
OF not only having the former distant
from the academy. but i'm the exact
location where it has been established.
The Naval War College is what its
name suggests. an institution for the
study OF naval warfare. IL does not
aim to provide simply post graduate
course for naval officers. That may be
very well arranged for at Annapolis.
Annapolis possesses little that the War
College needs in its peculiar work.
Neither it's library nor any of its de-
partments are AT all necessary TO the
War College work. Indeed there are
few reasons for removing the War Col
lege TO Annapolis except an ambition
70 concentrate all the naval educational
institutions i'm one territory. And that
can only be advanced as a reason when
other things are equal. a proposition
TO also remove the torpedo station from
Goat Island to Annapolis would be
equally in order. The army does not
seek such concentration as that pro-
posed. but has its infantry ana cavalry
school at Fort LeaVenvorth, rather
than West Point. its artillery school at
Fort Monroe. It's engineering headquar-
ters at Willcts Point. The Naval War
College is already established at New
port. The location has the approval OF
high naval authority after test of
some years. IL should not be removed

GEN. GARCIA RELIEVED
BECAUSE HE WROTE AN UNFRIEND-
LY LETTER TO GEN. sHAFTER.
Cuban Officers All Under Instructions
to obey Orders of United
States Generals.

SANTIAGO, Aug. 31.-General Garcia has
been relieved of his command by General
Gomez acting under instructions from the
provisional government. This is owing to
disapproval of his action during the Shafter
incident and in view that Garcia is persona
non grata to the American government. At
the commencement of the war the Cuban
officers were ordered to put themselves I'M
der the orders of the American command
ers, and the letter from Garcia to Shafter
is looked upon as breach of discipline. His
resignation is not accepted, but he is re-
lieved of his command. General Rodriguez,
commanding in the east under Gomez, will
succeed him.
A courier to General Lawton this morning
confirms the news that General Lacrete
will arrive this evening from Santa Cruz
with dispatches from Gomez to General
Lawton. Their substance Is yet unknown.
A conference will be held at Santa Ana.
The Cuban leaders are Lacrete, CeVrecO,
Perez, Rabi, Castillo and others. Prelim-
fnaries will be arranged for the delegates
to the Camaguez to attend the election Of
the new Cuban government
Colonel Ray, of the Third Regiment of
immunes, reports from Guantanamo that
the Cubans there, consisting of two bat
talions, have intimated their intention of
entering the town and displaying the Gu
ban flag. Colonel Ray said that as Guam
tanamo is United States territory he would
look upon this action as hostile and call
out his men. Then the Cubans said the
reason of their proposed entry was a re-
port that the Spanish prisoners in the town
would rise and sacrifice the American gar
rison, and they finally concluded by asking
for four thousand rations.
General Castillo has been advanced to
brigadier general to the general division of
war and will go by steamer to San Juan
to-day to meet Garcia at Jibara, but it is
learned that the latter left there for
Jiguani.

Mr.. McCutcheon, the artist supports the
argument that we should not absorb the
Philippines by his drawing of the rainy
day costume in the heather section of the
world. We have been greatly scandalIzed
by the discovery that a rainy day costume
In the Philippines consists merely of hat,
and not a very good-looking hat at that.
OF course the advance of civilization, Which
Will follow our acquisition of the islands,
Will soon add TO the hat pair of stockings
ana perhaps an odd glove or bracelet, but
even these useful articles of apparel and
adornment are hardly sufficient TO meet our
stern sense of the proprietes of life The
rainy season in the Philippines extends
1rcm May until December, and from June
until November the rains are very heavy,
hence for more than five months the cos
tune of the people of the islands is confned

and gentlemen select their summer styles

Though we must admit, hardly with the
same agreeable results. MIR. McCutcheon
has really done us an inestima BILE service
with his picture of the gentleman in the

should demand from the PHILIPPINES is a

transported to the First Division hospital.
Empty army wagons that could be found
were used for this purpose, and the wounded
kept coming into the hospital all night. On
the following morning al, ambulance and
two wagons were taken to the dressing sta
ton just described and the wounded were
brought in. among them being Surgeon
Danforth, who was shot through the head.
Maj. S. Q. Robinson had assumed command
of this station on the previous afternoon.
but at this time he, with Capt w. d. Nc
Cav, rejoined their regiments and left the
station in charge Of Capt. Paul Newgar-
den. Maj. v. Harvard arrived later and
established an ambulance station at this
point, which was then comparatively safe.
1t was customary during the battle for
the writer to send filters and dressings to
the front in the empty ambulances. During
and after the battle the men of the hos
pital corps company did much of the work
in the First Division hospital. They as
sisted in operations, helped in applying
dressings, made soup and coffee, carried
patients to and from the operating tables
and acted as nurses to the wounded. With
but few exceptions they worked all day. all
night, all the following day and most of the
next night. They were assisted by members
of the bands of the regiments and by some
of the hospital corps men of the regiments. -
