Washington. Aug. 3o.-Before leav-
ing Washington Governor Black said
regarding his investigation of the New
York troops in camp here:
This is real war 1t is no pleasure
trip. Neither does it in the least re-
semble a state camp FOR instruction.
The privations complained of by the
troops in camp I consider merely the
necessary privations of war. Under
stand that this applies only to Camp
Alger as far as l saw 1t. II we are
able to come through the war without
further hardships to our men, then
the United States has cause for con-
graduation.
IT admit that the men have under
gone hardships. They may undergo
even worse ones in the future, though
that is unlikely in the case Of New
York men, for the state will probably
take care of them as soon as possible.
But the present condition of affairs
at Camp Alger, while hard, is in no
sense an intolerable situation"

Hobson's Kiss.

Lieutenant Hobson performed a
gallant and heroic feat when he sunk
the Merrimac under the Spaniards
fire and every loyal American rejoices
to see him honored. But the war
had other heroes, too, and so far as
history has recorded not one of these
has yet been publicly kissed by a beau
tiful young woman as a tribute to his
valor. To be sure, Hobson is not to
blame for this. He merely took what
the girl at the Long Beach Hotel
offered him. But why should there
be any discrimination IN his tavor, as
against Dewey and Schley and Vain
wright ? Why hasn't somebody kiss
ed Theodore Roosevelt yet7
1t would be wholly unlike Hobson
to demand especial honors. In sheer
gallantry ard politeness he could not
refuse to comply with the young
woman's request. He couldn't run
away, because he is military man,
ahN liz idd nv ouDOliillldtC OlllCCT DIT
hand whom he might have ordered to
receive the salute. He had no time
for delay, especially after the young
woman had ascertalned his range and
cleared for action. There was moth
ing for it but to sail in under Socapa
battery of two bright eyes and open
fire.
Hobson being thus acquitted of
any purpose to monopollze honors, it
remains to be seen whether American
girlhood is to ignore its plain duty in
making due amends to tine other
heroes of the war. Let judgment be
suspended until all the men who sunk
Spanish fleets or stormed Spanish forts
have come home and placed them
selves within firing distance of the pa
triotic American young women.

Chattanooga. Aug. 31.-Governor Black
,pent the entire day yesterday IN Camp
Thomas with the New York soldiers.
He would not allow the officers to ac-
company him through the camp, and
went alone, saying:
IF the men have anything to tell
let them tell It,"
into almost every company street of
every New York regiment the governor
went. He shook hands with the men,
chatteG with them here and there, and
visited every hospital where soldiers
are confined.
Everywhere the governor was receiv-
ed with manifestations of approval and
gladness. He came to see and he cer-
tainly saw. Nothing escaped his scru-
tiny.
At night he returned to the city, after
messing with Colonel Green of the
regiment. At his room in the Read
house Governor Black gave out an in
terview for the press. He said:
when / arrived here I was pre-
pared for anything. I had been led to
believe that the camp was a hell on
earth, and that death and destruction
lurked in the very atmosphere. These
statements are gross exaggerations and
Misrepresentation of the conditions
as found them.

Caught.

A country merchant from a west
ern rural district visited the city to
purchase goods. His proper punish
ment for shabby trick is recorded
thus:
He bought cheap but pretty table
caster, for which he paid dollar. On
reaching home he put on it tag
marked $I4, and made a present of
it to a Methodist preacher, whose
church his family attended. The
minister took the package home, after
thanking the donor, but the next day
he fetched the caster, with the tag at
tached, back to the merchant, and
said to him:
81 am too poor in this worlds goods
to display so valuable caster on my
table, and if you have no objection l
should like to return it and take $I4
worth of groceries in its stead"
The merchant could do nothing but
assent to so reasonable a proposition.

Lots Wife Island.

Lots Wife, perhaps the strongest
island in the Pacific, is in latitude
2o.4I and longitude I4o.22.3o east
and is southeast of the island of Nippar,
the largest of the Japanese group.
Meares, the explorer, ran across it in
1888 ard at first mistook it for ship.
He called it Meares' rock, but it had
very likely been discovered in ad-
vance of that time by Spanish ex-
plorers, who charted it as Vela rock.
The United States steamer Macedo-
nian passed it in 1854, and she, too
mistook it for sail. Its rugged peak
rises nearly 900 feet above the sea,
and it can be seen for IS miles. There
is great cavern in the base of the
rocky pinnacle, and the sea roars
through it with voice of thunder. It's
diameter at the water line is about SO
feet, and it stands as an impressive
monument to the force of nature in
convulsion.

received advices from most reliable
sources this morning that the Cuban
government had relieved Major Gen.
eral Calixto Garcia from the command
OF the Cuban troops in the eastern part
or the island. 1t is understood that he
will be succeeded by General Lacret.

the release of General Garcia was due
to his sulky conduct toward the Amer

fusal to allow the Cuban troops to en-
ter Santiago, which furnished a bad
example for the Cuban soldiers, q ma
jority of whom at this end of the island
are not pleased by the exclusive occu-
patton Of Santiago and Guantanamo
and the administration of the govern
ment by the Americans.
General Demetrio Castillo, the Cuban
military governor of Santiago for two
years, has been advanced to the grade
of brigadier general.
