PLOT AGAINST CUBANS.
Existence of The "Ordcr Of inc
 Dagger" Disclosed.

Havana, Sept. 19.-There has been for some time a scare among the Gu bans which has in some quarters ap- preached terrcr. The sUcry has been circulated that a Spanish secret society has been organized, it's object being as sassination of Cubans whenever and wherever possible. The Cubans claim to have been informed that secret con- silltations have besn held by the Span iards. and that the formation Of the society has been the result.
 The news of the organization of She Association League. which was called the Order of the Dagger reached the cars Of Captain -General Blanco, and he ordered an investigation by the secret service and directed that the force of the department of public order be in- creased. As a result of the inquiry made by the police Spaniard known as Carneado, who was reported to be at the head of the organization, was ar

COMMISSIONS
 WEAKNESS
Without Power 10 Compel
 Witnesses 10 Testify.
Army Officers Would. # is Claimed, Decline 10 Give Damaging Tes- fimonV Before 6 Court of Inquiry.

Washington, Sep,. 19.-The difficulty which is being experienced in the con- struction Of the proposed commission for the investigation Of the conduct cf the staff branches Of Inc army during the war with Spsiz: has excited some discussion in military circles as to the possibility of the practical failure of an investigation by commission. It de- velopS that there is q decided disap- proval among army officers of the proposition to have the conduct Of the war investigated by a civil commission. which cannot be clothed with any ju- dlcial authority. The objection is not on account Of any prejudice against civil authorities interfering in military matters, but is due to the fact that tes- timony before a commission net pos Sessing judicial authority would be in manner voluntary and would, it is said, put officers in the attitude Of gratuitously giving testimony which might be damaging to individuals or to the administration e. the war de- part.
 Some of the officers point out that injury is liable to result to the army if they give testimony when there is no power to compel them to testify They say that 1t would he TO trouble to get all the information there Is concerning the campaign at Santiago. the manage ment Of the war through the depart ment and the operations Of the medical, the quarterEa55er's and the oomnis- sary departments il q tribunal or bnard were organized with authority tc con- pei testimony; but that officers vii. n i-A int put themselves in the attitude Of be- ing voluntary informers when the composition Of the commission making the inquiry $ not such as to make it compulsory sDO2 them to tell what they may know.
 They say it will be impossible for & commissiCil net having the power to compel testimony to get at the facts. Most officers, they say, will make i- Q point of honor. as well as a matter of self interest, to decline to give testi- mony Of a1y importance unless com pelled to. If the commission could compel testimony s.n officer giving tes- timony which migh- be damaging would have the excuse that he had no choice but to tell what he knew In the absence of authority to compel tes- timCly the witness would have a right to conceal or Q decline to disclose any facts in his possession, and # he gave testimony damaging to any one it might be assumed that he did this sra tuitously and was bringing rspToach upon the army wheI he was under no conlpulsion to do SC. This. it is said. will undoubtedly have the effect Of pre- venting some witnesses from giving testimony Of 9 damaging character be- fore the commission.

 MCntauh Point, on which the camp is located, has nc trees and no lano- marks. To stranger lthe miles and miles Of rolling hills and the multi Jude of white tents, all of which look exactly alike, are as bewiidering as prairie. One night. shortly before the District of Columbia regiment came home, Washington mar camping there, set out on horseback a little af- ter dark for the telegraph office. By daylight this office was distant three mics from the site of the District camp and readily found by following the line Of wires tha. stretch diago- nally across Montauk His horse did not follow the trail. and when he had waGed through numerous marshes. reused scores of bluecoats from as many different regiments, to inquire the way, and reached the telegraph cf- flee. most of MCntauk's military pop ulation was sleeping. IL is almost use less to inquire Of the enlisted men, or, in fact, Of officers, for any particular regiment Few know where any camps are, outside CT their own imme- dlate vicinity. And the Washington ian did not reach the District camp that night.

Notwithstanding the sad associations Of that place for the gen. eral and his family, the outlook on all sides is edifying.

To the west and down the long incline from his headquarters are the tents os the cavalrymen. with their thou sands of horses tethered in long rows. Almost every movement Of the troop CTS and their animals by daylight is visible from these headquarters--the officers galioping up and down the roads continually, the bronZed men from the West,-who vary the nlonctony Of camp life in equestrian daring, and the ceaseless strings Of spirited horses that canter down to the lake of fresh water to drink.

After the arrests the story was circulated that several thousand Spaniards had rjoined the organization, and that the members were mostly merchants and clerks, a class which formerly largely made up the troublesome volunteers lThe startling statement was also made that it was the intention of this kuklux band to murder Americans as well as Cubans. both being considered enemies to Spain and to her people.

 Among the Cubans whom it is al- legged the society had marked for an early removal IS Baldomero Ocosta, the well known insurgent commander, whose name has figured conspicuously all through the recent war with the Spaniards on the island.

 When the news of the society's ex- igtence became known the Cubans were greatly excited. They issued circu- lar calling attention to the plot against their lives and urging all Cubans to arm themselves for defense.

MILITARY LIFE AT NIONTAuK.

: There are some delectab,e spots, even ia camp life at Montauk The best pa5ronized of these is probably the Off, icers' club. The organization is herald cd to the military world by great signs painted on canvas and nailed up on the two broad doors. Here the thirsty leaders Of the legions, late from Cuban soii. may gather unmolestcd within the four walls of the large rough-board- ed building, have round Of drinks, and swap stories O. the Santiago cam Daign. The canvas signs announce that army officers and their guests will be admitted, an arrangement that allows the enlisted men to secure so- cial glass if he happens to have friend among the volunteer officers.
 A robust New Yorker, whose ances- tors were probably sturdy tavern keep CTS of 'the familiar type, if appearances can be judged, presides over the impro- vised bar. There is no attempt at style i1 the furnishings, but On the wooden shelves the barkeep is able to lay his hands upon almost everything in the drinkable line. The price Of drinks is rather steep at this Montauk bar, but 25 cents bottle for beer-some days it Is only 29 cents. according to the dispo- sition Of the robust proprietor-and g 6 quart for any old kind Of whiskey doesn't phase the returning warriors The club does 6 rushing business, un- der the rather severe surveillance of the provost guard, and there is little :iltCXication.

 Generally the enlisted men at Mon tauA are kept closely within their camps, and there arc few ways of spending money. The regulations are very strict about gambling, and ped ding is not allowed. But even these regulations are disobeyed.
