WASHINGTON, March 2.-W. II. Santelmann of
this city was appointed leader of the Marine
Band to-day. to succeed Prof. Fanciulli. now
leader of the Seventy-first New York Regiment

graduated at Leipzig. He was q member of tho
Marine Band for some years. acting as assistant
leader during n greater part of his service. OF
late he has managed. an orchestra Of his own.
Prof. Fanciullis abandonment of the Marine
Band leadership was the result of an incident
that occurred on last Memorial Day. Lieut..
Draper Of the Marine Corps told Prof. Fanciulli
to play. !ivelier airs. and the band leader re-
sponded in terms which caused the Lieutenant
to prefer charges against, him. Tho loader
was tried by court-martlal and sentenced to
be discharged with q bad-conduct certificate,
but the Navy Department. although not dis
approving tho courts findings, restored him to
duty. When hic enlistment expired in October

Miguel Betancourt. Battle-scarred and Child
loss, Sent Hero for Medical Treatment.
Some interesting facts about the Cuban
patriot. Miguel Betancourt Guerra. were made
public yesterday at the Junta. He arrived here
a few days ago from Nassau. to which island he
went from Cuba in an open boat. He was badly
wounded several months ago at Victoria de las
Tunas when that town was captured by Gen.
Calixto Garcia, and after long sufferings in the
Held ne was ordered by the Cuban commander
to come to New York for medical treatment.
Besides his recent wound, Betancourt il COW
cred with scars. testimonials or his courage in
tho Cuban war OF 1868, in which, he played a
prominent part. One of those old wounds was
made by a bullet which pierced his bronchial
tube. When the veteran received his orders to
leave Cuba he brought with him his son. who
was severely wounded and suffering besides
from fever. The young man died in his fathers
ARM on the voyage from Nassau to New York.
Betancourt said yesterdays:
My Rriefs have been many, but thousands as
we'll as I have suffered and still suffer for Cuba.
All this will DO fully atoncd for II in the end we
see our dear country freed from tho yoke of
SPAIN"
