GETTING BACK AT ROOSEVELT.
The Citizens; Union Decides 10 .ame
N Candidate.

New York, Sept. 25-The Citizen s
Union committee, which recently nomi-
mated an Independent State ticket with
Col. Roosevelt at its head, met in solemn
conclave in the Reform Club this after
noon and decided to run q candidate
against Roosevelt. II was finally decided
that the nominating committee, together
with the candidates already named,
should meet in Albany tomorrow after
noon, and it is very likely that a candi-
date for governor will then be selected
informally. The formal nominations will
not be made until after the Goth.
In the meantime, it is the intention of
the Citizens Union to keep right on with
the work OF securing signatures for the
nomina tion petition. The election code re-
quires that 5000 names shall be signed TO
a petition for the Independent nomination
of State officers, and John De Witt War
ner and other members of the Citizens
Union committee say the work of getting
these signatures is practically finished,
and that the petition will be already for
filing in a few days.
When asked who would be the probable
successor of Col. Roosevelt on The in
dependent ticket, the Citizens looked wise
but declined to talk on the matter. They
admitted that several names for the place
had been under discussion at the meet
ing. but they refused to disclose them. on
the ground that IL would be manifestly
improper TO discuss matters which prop
eTly belonged TO the nominating COM
mittee.

TWO MEMORIES.
The Hatred of the Soldiers for Hard

(From the New York Tribuue)
Two of the hated memories of Cuba
that linger with the Santiago heroes are
hardtack and buzzards.
"Hardtack" said one of the GONZALES
cents, has about as much taste as pa
per, and it is not long before the stomach
rebels at It. We tried in every way to
make it palatable. We fried 1t, we boiled
it, we roasted it, and we fricasseed it.
Then we mixed it with water and sugar
and made a sort of pudding out of it.
There was only one time when the hard
we began to mix up with the Spanish SOL
diers after the surrender Some of those
poor devils were as badly off as the re-
concentrates. Their stomachs were dis
tended abnormally, in the same manner,
from starvation. Hardtack seemed to
them a priceless treasure. and one could
buy anything they had One fellow
bought gold-handled machete from
Spaniard with one piece of hardtack. An
other man bought watch with a hard
tack, and afterward sold 1t for so. We
got all the tobacco and cigars We could
use, and the hardtack was spoken of with
more respect after that.
"BuzZards,' continued the same man,
were so thick that they made the sky
black. / actually think that all the buz-
yards of the world collected there. They
were so tame that if a fellow just lay
down they would almost light on him. We

NAVAL CADETS.
The Different Methods of Training
In France and This Country

From the Baltimore SUM-
It has been announced that the French
naval cadets are no longer to make their
practice cruises on sailing vessels. They
are to have a modern steam warship as
signed to their use and are to be educated
upon II. The reason given for this action
is that, as no warships have sails. 1t is
waste of time TO teach the use of sails to
young men who are to serve upon vessels
which have no sails.
The French admiralty has arrived at
this conclusion at the very time the
United States Government is building
sailing ship for the use of our naval
cadets. 1t has heretofore been the prac-
tice here for the cadets at Annapolis to
make their annual three months cruise
upon a sailing vessel without even aux
iliary steam. The working of the ship is
done by the cadets They set the sails,
take them in, and, in point of fact, do the
work of common sailors. In addition to
this three months work, one day in each,
week there Is. practice in the rigging of
the ship lying at the academy wharf.
Considerable time IS also spent in drill
ing with small saiIboats and in steam
warship, the design being to make the
cadet thorough sailor before he leaves
the academy. The last two years of the
six years course are spent aboard a
modern man-of-war, so that when the
young man finally receives his commits
sion as an ensign he is equally at home
on a sailing ship, a cutter, or a modern
warship. The Inference from the present
construction Of the practice ship Chesa-
peake is that this policy is to be con-
tinued.
The question.is. which policy is correct
that of France or that of the United
States? Several incidents of the late war
may help TO decide the question. At the
Port OF Ponce the American feet cap
tured a number of Spanish brigantines
and schooners. A junior officer from one
of the warships was detailed to take COM
mand of these vessels and sail them TO
the United States. 1t would have been
a most embarrassing thing If an officer
could not have been found fit for this
service. On the contrary however. there
was not an officer in the fleet who was
graduated at the academy who was not
perfectly competent to work the sailing
vessels, command them and set or reef
every sail. There was another incident
which illustrated the value of the cadet
training. A warship was anchored five
or six miles from land. It became neces-
sary to send a Saiiboat ashore although
there was stiff breeze and a rough sea.
A cadet just from the academy was put
in command and found that not one of the
crew could sail the boat. But he had no
difficulty in doing the work himself and
he brought the boat safely to the landing.
Instances showing the importance of be-
ing able to command sailing vessels could
be multiplied. 1t seems, therefore. that
there is no reason why the United States
should follow the example of France In
confining the education of naval officers
10 steam vessels.
