"REMINISCENCES OF SIGSBEE
He Has often shown His Bravery
and Discretion.

Commander Sigsbee of the Inflated
cruiser was born in Albany, N. Y, and
educated at the Albany Academy. He
was appointed to the United States
Naval Academy in 1859 by Erastus
Corning, first, then congressman from
this district. He was graduated from
that institution in 1863 and was i'm
mediately detailed into active service
as ensign aboard the Metacomet,
which engaged in the naval operations
that ended in the capture of Mobile.
That event was one of the most de-
cisiye in the civil war. There were al
so in that engagement two other AL
banians, Ira Harris, now of Cleveland,
the son of the former United States
Senator Ira Harris, and Clarence
RathbOne who still resides in this
city. Young Sigsbee was then known
as Dutch" a fitting sobriquet, con-
sidering the old Dutch town of his
birthplace. Sigsbee's ship, the Meta
comet, was commanded by Capt. Jan
EFT.
Commander Sigsbee is well remem-
vice for his work on the coast sur
vey. He is one of the bravest and
most discreet officers in the navy. He
is a man who is known to be what is
called remarkably level headed" and
those who know him best will be the
last to believe that such carelessness
as an explosion aboard ship would
indicate could occur on any vessel I'M
der his command.
A signal instance of his decision of
character in emergencies was shown
on the East River last summer. The
Maine had left the Brooklyn navy
yard and was proceeding down stream
on her way to sea. The river was
crowded with craft of all kinds. and
by one of those singular accidents
which occur on crowded streams and
against which no provision seems to
avail, an excursion steamer and a
| huge freight float got in the Names
{ way A collision seemed to be in
evitable, and what the result would
have been if the huge steel man-of-
war but brushed the crowded excur-
sion boat can easily be imagined
Capt Sigsbee did not hesitate a mo-
ment He ordered the helm a-star-
board and the Maine went crashing in
to the dock. Two wharyes were car
ried away by the impact, forty cars
were dumped into the East river and
considerable damage was done. But
no lives were lost, and except for the
losing of little paint, the Maine was
uniujured. Then Capt. Sigsbee went
ON his way and subsequently was
complimented by Mr.. Roosevelt, assis-
taut secretary of the navy, for the
manner in which he had acted.

CORBIN'S REPORT.
Makes Recommendations Regarding tn
Increase of the Army.

Washington. Nov. 12.-Adjutant Gen.
eral Corbin has issued his annual re-
port to the secretary Of war. 1t con-
tains much of a statistical allure about
the armies of the United States. includ-
ing the regular and volunteer branches.
General Corbin
Sine the signing of the protocol the
officers and men of the volunteer regi-
ments have remained at their posts of
duty. i'm most cases at great personal
sacrifice. That they have done this
cheerfully and without complaint makes
1t all the more desirable that a speedy
increase of the regular army be pro-
vided for, in order that the volunteers
may be released from further service
and be allowed to return to their peace
full vocations."
General Corbin has the following to
say concerning the increase of the regu-
lar army:
THE organization of the cavalry, ar
tillery and infantry regiments has stood
the test of trial in battle n received
the approval of those in command; SO
that the increase of the line of the army
demanded by our new possessions
should be by the addition OF the neces-
sary number of regiments organized as
are now those in service. The number
of officers should be increased by one
first lieutenant to each troop, battery
and company. This would enable the
department 70 meet the demands OF
various details required by law. Inc
then leave the troops with the necessary
number for their proper discipline n
instruction, and in war allow the ap-
pointment of sufficient generals n
general staff officers without destroying
the efficiency of the arm v, as shown by
the recent experiences of the depart
ment. The number of trained officers. as
herein provided. during the war. would
have saved many lives. At the begin
ming of the present wal some 400 officers
were appointed to the staff and voiun-
teer regiments. 1t is difficult now. with
the sick and wounded officers. for the
department to get one officer to the
company. and then frequently there
have been two companies with but one
officer. The increase proposed would in
no way give a greater number OF ofi-
GERS than required.
Officers serving in the West Indies
and Philippines will. as a rule. be sepa-
rated from their families. and living ex-
penses greatly increased. II is recon-
mended that all officers below the rank
of major. while so serving. shall have
the pay and allowance of the higher
grade"
General Corbin recommends that the
men of the national guards who entered
the volunteer army be allowed to return
and be readmltted to their state organ
izations. His advice to those who con-
troll the national guard Is that at the
yearly state encampments the men be
made dependent for their subsistence
on the army rations. to be furnished oy
the state authorities, on ration returns.
and cooked by the troops In precisely
he same manner as in actual service In
the field. This would give them the
same self-reliance which characterized
the regular soldier on duty. General
Corbin also recommends an increase IN
the pay of non-commissioned officers.

Indignation Expressed.

San Francisco. Nov. 12-The Gail says:
Indignation is running high In local ma
rine circles over the action OF the Seattle
officials I'm granting immediate citizenship
to the deck officers and engineers Of the
four British steamers. the Victoria. Olym-
pia. Tacoma and Glenare OF the Northern
Pacific company. that were recently
granted American register. In granting
immediate citizenship to the 80 officers of
the foreign boats they were enabled to
get American licenses and hold their po-
sitions under American registration TO the
disbarment OF native craftsmen. The local
Marine Engineers Benevolent association
has taken official cognizance of the matter
and measures will be taken to nullify
what the association considers an unwar-
ranted action upon the part of the gov
eminent officials.

Appeals r

Paris. Nov. 12.-Madame Dreyfus APP
piled to the colonial minister yesterday
friday for permission to send her hus-
band some warm clothing for his return
home. Her request was refused. on the
ground that the government would do
whatever was necessary. AT the same
time the authorities read to her a letter
from her husband to the effect that. hav-
ing for five months addressed appeals for
revision to General de Boisdeffre without
getting any reply, and being wearied and
exhausted by his useless appeals. he
would write no more TO his family or to
anybody. He described himself as Ill and
dying. and bequeathed 10 "the generosity
of my country the care of rehabilitating
my memory"
Madame Dreyfus then asked permission
10 telegraph her husband the decision of
the court of cessation. This request was
also refused. Then. through n friend, she
appealed to President Faure. with no bet
ter results. Her counsel Will bring the
matter before the court of cessation.
