LESSONS OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Important Things Learned by Military
 and Naval Experts.

Washington, July 28.-The military and naval experts say that several i'm : portant lessons in ordnance and fortifi- cations are furnished by the campaign against Santiago. It is pointed out that the long contentious between the relative merits of land Notifications and naval ships as a means of coast defense have received much light by recent operations. When Admiral Sampson was chief of the ordnance bureau of the navy department he held that most effective means of defending coast was by means of warships rather than coast defenses. It is said, however, that the Spanish defense of Santiago harbor has demonstrated that coast defenses are even more effective than warships. The batteries of Moro castle, Sacopa and the other, aided by the mining and torpedoing Of the harbor. was effective in preventing the American fleet from entering the harbor, and this, despite the fact that the Spanish guns were in no sense fortiication armament It is said by some of the experts that if Moro had possessed the large modern fortifica- tion guns. such as those protecting New York or Boston. it would have been able not only to have defended Santiago, but to have done serious damage to the attacking fleet.

He brings word that Skaguay has turned out in force and is hunting down the bunco men with guns. The latter have taken to the hills and are hiding in holes in the rocks. Six have been captured so far. Four vigilantes rode through here a little while ago. armed with Winchesters, in pursuit of one Bowers, who got away with the greater part Of the stolen gold dust. If they catch him they will shoot him. They described him as a man with a bullet hole through his nose. He passed here late last night without stopping.

HOBSON'S PROMOTION.
Not Forgotten Even Though It Was
 Not Mentioned to Him.

Washington, July 28.-President Me- reached a decision about the promo tion of Lieutenant Hobson, and did not mention the matter to the young officer when he was here.
 They take it for granted that Lieu tenant Hobson desires to be trans. ferred to the line of the navy, as stated some time ago by members of his family. This will require a special act of congress, postponing the promo tion until next winter. If Lieutenant Hobson desires to remain on the saff of the navy his promotion can be made at once by Secretary Long.
 Lieutenant Hobson will return to the city in a few days and may then announce his preference.

CAPTAIN CAMPERS SENTENCE.
The Papers Still in the Hands of Sec
 retary Alger.

Washington, July 2S.-The findings and sentence of the court martial in the case of Captain Ober1in M. Carter, corps of engineers, charged with de- frauding the government while in charge of river and harbor improve ments at Savannah, are still in the hands of the secretary of war, where they are likely to remain for some time. It has been learned from an au- thortative source that the court has imposed one of the severest sentences ever declared in the case of an army officer, and that unless the sentence is mitigated Captain Carter will have to pay at least three penalties. The first in unquestionably dismissal from the army. The second is imprisonment for a term of at least ten years, and perhaps twenty years. In addition to this Captain Carter will be required to return to the government the money embedded, and this amounts, accord ing to the best information, to not less than $3,000,000. It will be necessary, however, to bring an action in civil court to secure the refunding of the money. The court martial, if it had so desired or if it had taken the pains to do so, could have so framed it's findings and sentences as to make the action by a civil court unnecessary.
 The papers in the case of Captain Carter, after theil review by the judge advocate general of the army, should have been handed to the commanding general of the army, and by him, in turn, to the secretary of war, as re- quired by the army regulations. In this case, for some reason, the papers were not referred to General Miles at all, but were transmitted directly to Secretary Alger.

BRIAN BORU's HARP.
Ancient Instrument in the Possess
sion of Trinity College, Dublin.

instrument IN the Possess
sion of Trinity College, Dublin.
From Lloyd's NewA paper.
No more interesting relic of Ireland's old
historic days has come down than the in
strument preserved in Trinity College.
Dublin, and known as Brian Boru's
harp" 1t is the Oldest instrument of its
kind known to exist in the land of Erin
and probably in Europe.
The legend attached to the harp gives
IT the honor of having been played at the
court of King Brian Boru. slain at the bat
tie of Clontarf, in the year 1914. having
passed into the possession of his son DON
ough, the murderer of league, in conse-
quence OF which act he was deposed by
a nephew. Donough retired to Rome
Thither the avenger carried the regalia of
of his assassnated father, and also the
musical instrument. Deposited in the Vat
ican 1t remained there centuries until
sent over by the Pope TO Henry VIII, then
honored by the Pontiff as the Defender
of the Faith"
This legend is only fiction. One of the
greatest of Irish antiquarian scholars the
late George Petrie has extensively and
convnctngly shown that the story has no
foundation in fact From its size pecu-
liar structure and heraldic decoration, Mr.
Petrie deduced. to the satisfaction of arch
biologists, that the harp belonged TO the
smaller class of instruments used by the
Irish ecclesiastics to accompany voices in
the singing of hymns at private devotion
or In the services of the church. The
instrument is but thirty-two inches hgn.
Thus Mr.. Petrie contended that ii was too
small TO have been a bardic instrument.
quite untitled to have been played by the
minstrel al festal functions. The scholar
also points out that his argument for the
instrument being one for devo-
tional purposes Is strengthened by
the appearance of the letters
81 II. S." carved in relief in The
Gothic character. 1t was the opinion of
the antiquary that this harp was made for
one of the two O'Nellls who fiourished In
the fourteenth century. the first as Bishop
of Clogher. the second as Bishop of Derry.
The harp, when perfect, had thirty
strings. 1t Is of exquisite workma nshiD.
