is most probable that their contents
would have been divulged long before
this; but TO hint at them is always a
sure method of attracting attention;
and being, if they be. diplomatic mat
tiers, limiting is pre-eminently the prop
er way to treat them; to bring them out
into the light of day would spoil their
value for arousing curiosity.
During the war there were many
hints as to secret understandings with
Russia, and so numerous did they be-
come, and so persistently Were they
repeated. that Secretary Seward took
occasion to deny these rumors in let
ter written TO Mr.. Dayton, our minister
TO France. ANY statesman" said Mr..
Seward, who has observed how in
flexibly this government adheres to the
policy of peace and non-intervention,
would not need to be informed that the
report of an alliance by us with Russia
for European war is al absurdity.'
1t is possible that some secret I'M
Outstanding may have existed. but it
is much more probable that these Sc
cret understandings are the Pigments
of overheated imaginations.

"HAMACsv FOR CUBA.

The other day it was announced that
the war department had ordered ten
thousand hammocks for the use of the
troops invading Cuba. 1t was simple
announcement, one the people were
glad to have. for it gave assurance that
the health OF the troops intended for
service in Cuba was being specially
looked after. for in that island it is
almost certain death for one to sleep
on the ground. owing to its dampness
and the malaria arising from it.
But another interest attaches to this
announcement, and It is of a historic
nature. The hammock is a product of
the West Indies, and it was discovered
by Columbus in the island of Fernan-
dina, so called in honor Of his king,
but now known as Exuma. 1t was on
this island he first landed after leaving
San Salvador The Installations of the
people were very clean ard neat, and
sheltered under spreading trees. For
beds, they had nets of cotton extending
from two posts. which they called
hamacs, a name since in universal use
among seamen,'' SAYS Irving.
And now, more than four hundred
years after Columbus first saw a
"hamac' the Americans propose to
carry them to Cuba by the thousands
for beds for soldiers. whose purpose in
the island will be to expel the Span
iards, whose king and queen he served
so well and faithfully, and whose SER
vices SDa5n so i'll reCuited Oh the
irony of fateI

COLONEL T. d. GRANT as A
DIsCIPLINARIAN.

The Americans are not military
people, though they are very warlike
one when they become aroused and take
up arms. Those who volunteer at their
&C untrys call readily submit to disci-
pine because of their intelligence and
rot because of their servility.
An incident occurred at Camp Black.
Hampstead Plains, l.. l., one day last
week that is sure TO create much COM
ment, for it was a case where harsh
ness was mistaken for discipline. The
officer was Colonel Fred D. Grant; the
volunteer a member OF company c. The
New York Herald gives this account
of the affair:
Private John HEIGHT of company c
aroused Colonel Grants anger by re-
quest for leave to go home to visit ms
mother, who, he said, was dying. He
approached Colonel Grant in person,
with his sister.
81 cannot grant your request" Col
onel Grant said. DO you know th.'t /
have a margin of only four men in this
regiment
SPll ioin the regiment in two days"
pleaded the soldier, land pay my own
railroad fare"
Colonel Grant was obdurate. HEIGHT
said:
q must resign. then. sir, and go
home anyway"
;"Step back three PAGES and stand
at attention" Numbered the colonel He
sent for Captain Avery of company e.
When he arrived Colonel Grant said:
Take this man to his company, strip
him Of his uniform and send him out
of the camp in disgrace. I intend TO
make an example of him."
as HEIGHT left l asked Colonel Grant
what caused his sudden harshness.
The camp is overrun with women
begging leaves of absence for men,
he answered. Il am going to stop IT.
The Herald's correspondent says that
he found among the men entire sympa-
thy All HEIGHT; that not member of
the drum corps would have consented
to beat note fer his disgrace, and that
his captain, while he would not say so
himself, would have left the carrying
out of the order to Colonel Grant.
This was not an enforcement of dis
cipline but more of a display of tenn
per- HEIGHT wasn't mustered in and
officers who are authority on military
law say Colonel Grant exceeded his au-
be more subversive of discipline than
for an officer to exceed his authority,
and it only aggravates his offense when
he displays i'll temper. If Colonel Grant
inagines that he will establish a rep
utation as a rigid disciplinarian by
'ehowing off, his authority as he did
at Camp Black, he deceives himself as
much as he would were he to proclaim
that he is. as a military genius, a great
er man than his father.
The soldiers of the volunteer army
realize as much as its officers do that
discipline is absolutely necessary, and
to enforce it it is not necessary that
any officer attempt to make an exam
pie" OF a soldier as Colonel Grant did
of Private HEIGHT. The simple truth is
that Colonel Grant made a decided
blunder.

THE WAR HORSE.

There was never a war with which
the horse was not identified. The idea
of the charger in battle is inseparable
from that of the soldier in battle. Great
warriors have even loved to be pic
tured on horseback. 1t is said, by some,
the best portrait ever painted is I'll
tian's portrait of the Emperor Charles
the Fifth. 1t represents him on horse
back as he appeared just before the
battle of Muhlberg. And that portrait,
the finest in the world, hangs in the
gallery of the Prado, Madrid. Who does
not recall the picture of Napoleon on
horseback crossing the Alps? What
American does not carry in his heart
the image of Washington. in full con-
tinental uniform, seated on a magnifi-
cent charger? Every one in the United
States knows how Sheridan came 70
Winchester on that magnificent horse,
whose iranimate form is now one of the
treasures of the military museum on
Governors Island.
But who has ever described the war
horse as did Job? How Incompatible,
how perpetually grand his description!
Hast thou given the horse strength?
hast thou clothed his neck with thun-
der?
"Cans't thou make him afraid as a
grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils
is terrible,
HE paweth in the valley and re-
joiceth in this strength; he goeth on to
meet the armed men.
He mocketh at fear and is not af-
frighted; neither turneth he back from
the sword.
THE CULVER rattleth against him, the
glittering spear and the shield.
He swalloweth the ground with
fierceness and rage; neither believeth
he that it is the sound of the trumpet
He saith among the trumpets, Ha,
ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off,
the thunder of the captains and the
shouting"
Such is the war horse, noblest of ami
mails.

WITH THE SPRING.

Blow. winds Fall. RAIN
Your breath. your tears are vain
To quench the quickened lamp of joy
bear.
The crocus feeds the fire
OF this, my lamps desire.
But ah. my lamp was lighted otherwise
Oh. Spring. sweet Spring.
Is it p little thing
To know thy lovely feet tread our rough
road.
To see through field and close,
BY lily and by rose
The tall grass harvest and the last sweet
load?
For now Spring stands,
All fair gifts in her hands.
She brings US April and the hearts de-
light
And June smiles down the way
Trod by the feet of May.
And summer comes with magic day and
night.
Yet Spring. clear Spring.
Not for your sake / sing.
Not for your sake shines fair my JOY
lamps fame:
The lamp had still been cold
For all your crocus-gold,
But that today. with you, my true love
came,

RUSSIAN ALLIANCE RUMoRs.

The relations of this government to
Russia have always been very friendly.
and it will certainly be the aim of the
government to keep them such. But
whenever they come prominently before
the public there are usually hints of
secret understandings in the past, I'M
derstandinGs that were practically
treaties. The latest story of this kind
is to the effect that during the civil war
President Lincoln agreed to pay the
expenses of Russian fleets at New York
and San Francisco. The purpose of
this. Of course, was to prevent any at
tack upon this country by a foreign
government. especially England. Pro-
fessor Won Hoist, an authority on such
matters. pronounces the story a fab
rication, and he pronounces it such on
the published transactions, with which
he is perfectly familiar; of secret arch

months, and the Indiana and the
Brooklyn for eight months. The result
of this is an immense loss of speed.
Thus, with a clean hull, the Indiana

with her hull fouled by barnacles her

uings Bryan ought to be a glittering
success. His sagacity in Withholding
his offer to enlist in the military service
until after Nebraska's quota has been
fully made up and sent TO the front in
dicates a foresight that should stand
him in good stead when he energies

a Spanish brigade had killed Mr.. Bryan
and all who enlist under him.
