The careful selection of men
evinced in the organization of the
volunteer regiments under the first
two calls and tho fact that the
National Guard of the various
states generally formed the nuclues
for the regiments now in the field,
is doubtless the reason that there
have been SO remarkably few criti-
cisims on the conduct of the vol
unteers in the various camps of
mobilization. Remarkable few
acts of disorder have been chroni-
cled. The nation has reason to be
proud OF It's volunteers private
conduct MS well as of their patriot
ism and courage.

Operations at Santiago the last

to the reading public who do not
have access to the full information
of the dispatches received at the

given out has been more of blind
that to give out facts. fust why
the public should be mislead
about matters which concern all

THOSE NAVAL ATTACHES,
Their Strange Conduct Mt the ShIpyar.
May Lead to Complies tIons

Nhear Strange Conduct Mt the ShIpyard
May Lead to Complications.
\ "A special from Washington to the
New York Herald says:
Germany and Austria may be asked
TO give attention to what naval off
Gals term the unprofessional conduct
OF their naval attaches in the Newport
News shipyard.
An official report was received this
afternoon by Chief Constructor HIGH
porn, and by him transmitted to the
department. from Naval Constructor
woodward. at the Newport News ship
yaru, reporting the visit of these Off
GERS and their peculiar behavior when
refused admission.
According to Mr.. Woodward's re-
port. the attaches called at his office
and presented cards bearing the names
of Commander Vaschwitz, Of the Ger
man navy. and Lieutenant Roden, Of
the French navy. and requested admis-
sion to the yard. The naval construc-
tor refused his callers admission, and
telegraphed to Chief Constructor HIGH
bord for instructions.
Subsequently Mr.. Woodward ascer-
tanned that his visitors, after their de-
parture from his office called on Cap
tain Warburton, the officer having
charge of the detachment Of men
guarding the yard. and asked his per-
mission to enter To him they pre-
welt. but on the ground that Mr.. Roose-
Eeit had resigned, he declined to allow
them entrance.
These foreigners were afterward
found in the enclosure, apparently
making sketches. They We're inter-
cepted by the sergeant Of the guard
and brought before Captain Warburton.
Who finally released them after Mr.
Woodward had received instructions
from Secretary Long to honor Mr..
ROoSevelt'S letter.
This incident is regarded as an un-
fortunate one by naval officials, and it
is expected that the German and Aus
TRAN governments will call the offend
ers to account when the matter is
brought to their attention.
''Naval Constructor Woodward's re-
port has been brought to the attention
or Secretary Long, and it is believed
he will refer it to the State Depart
ment for the action Of Secretary Day.
Just why the foreigners should de-
sire to inspect the work in the Newport
News yard and make sketches of the
battleships Kearsarge. kentucky and
Illinois. which are under construction
at that point. the officials are unable to
say. Had they applied to the Navy
Department for the plans of the ships
they would have been furnished by
Chief Constructor Hichborn. as is Gus
tomary.
The authorities have no desire to
permit sketches of the work on the
ships to get abroad. especially at this
critical time. and it is for this reason
that stringent orders have been given
prohibiting visitors visiting shipyards
where government vessels are under
constructions"
