CHILDREN POLITICALLY.
Chas. NJ. Pepper Writes of Spani-
ards in Cuba.

dGdS III luna.
Chas. NJ. Pepper, the Chicago Trib-
une correspondent well known here,
writes thus interestingly of Spaniards
in Cuba:
On the political side the Spanish
property owner will prove a disap-
pointment to those who have been
sounding his praises. His education in
public affairs has been neglected. If
his class should have their wishes graf
flied and secure immediate annexation
to the United States a kindergarten
of political instruction would be neces-
sary. The raggedest and most ignOr~
ant Cuban soldier who has been carry
ing his machete in the bushwhacking
warfare of the last three years has bet
ter preparation for citizenship. IN the
struggle to free Cuban from Spain he
has at least learned the elementary
principles of government He knows
that it means more than a system of
legaIized plumber for the benefit of a
privileged few. The property owner
and shOpkeeper from Catalonia and AS
turia, or from the Basque provinces,
has faint conception of what his own
rights and responsibilities will be. In
had a part. The integrity which marks
his private dealings would have placed
him at a disadvantage if observed in
transactions with the official classes.
To buy justice has been his first rule.
To pay rOundly for concessions which
give him trade has been another. To
make out false bills where his custom
er was the government has been the
recognized practice. To bride customs
officials from highest to lowest has
been the indispensable condition Of do
ing importing business of any kind.
To engage in the shipping trade with
out lining the pockets of the harbOr
officials would be to invite ruin. 1t is
saying of vessel captains that Ha
vana is the only port in the world
where a ship can clear before she en-
tiers the harbOr. 1t is not the fault
of the Spanish merchant that these
practices exist, and heretofore he has
been able to manage so that it should
not be his misfortune. But the process
Of educating him away from the sys-
tenn which makes the government an
instrument of plumber viii not be COM
pleted in a day.

RED CROSS WORK
clara Barton and Her
Forces in Cuba.
Constant Service and Great Hardship Sleep
less Nights - Iron En-
durance.

A letter to The Sun, New York, from
Siboney, says:
Late last night one of the ambu-
lance wagons came rumbIing into
camp. Four or five comparative con-
valescents lay inside Of it. and sitting
bolt upright and grasping one Of the
wagon-poles tightly, was Clara Barton,
fast asleep, enjoying the first solid
hour Of rest she has had since the bat
tie Of Santiago began. The moment
that trouble began at the front Miss
Barton started for the field hospital.
Mrs. Lesser and the other four nurses
have remained here and have worked
indefatigably under Major Lagarde and
DR.. Lesser. The brunt of most of the
hardest WORK has fallen on these young
women. There is not one OF them who
has had more than six hours of sleep
since the wounded began to come in on
last Friday night, and that some of
them have not already collapsed only
goes to show what an amount of grit
and endurance there is in young Amer
lean wOmanhood The heat in the
tents, during the morning hours par
ticularly, has been almost insufferable,
and none of the men here except the
doctors have been able TO stand the
strain of remaining in the operating
tent for more than six hours at time;
and yet for six days have these five
noble women been working there for
twenty-thr hours out of each TWEEN
ty-four."
The papers were full for days Of the
story of Miss Jeanette Jennings and
her heroic work on the ship Seneca,
which brought one hundred sick and
wounded from Cuba TO New York.
Here is Just a brief extract from an
interview with her:
THE attack on Santiago began on
the morning of July 1. In the after
noon the wounded began to come back,
some in army wagons, some on strecth-
ers. and some on foot. We fitted up
hospitals in the tents that had been
abandoned by the soldiers moving to
the front, covering the ground inside
with straw Six of these tents were
fitted up as operating rooms, and at
the invitation of DR.. Lagarde, DR.. Les
ser of the Red Cross aided in the surg
zeal Work. IN twenty -lOui nOuIS IhS
surgeons operated on and dressed the
wounds of 475 men. The nurses worked
on as steadily as the surgeons without
thinking of sleep, and only stopping Oc-
casionally TO take a cup of coffee, for
it was trying work
The next afternoon l was at work
in the Red Cross hospital when DR..
Lagarde rushed in and said:
Can anybody get out to the State
of Texas at once? l have here an ord
er from Gen. Shafter authorizing Miss
Barton to seize any army wagons she
can find and send them to the front
with supplies for the wounded there.
Where are the hospital supplies OF
the army?' [ asked. Where is the
hospital service? Have you brought
10000 men down here and sent them
to fight without making any prepara-
tons for the care Of the wounded?
"He was very much distressed, and
there were tears in his eyes.
4 don't know he said, I don't
know. God knows what we could have
done here without the help of the Red
Cross. Our only hope at the front now
is in the Red Cross and the help 1t can

Snakes and Monkeys.
letter of Geo. E. Barron Of the Tenth
Pennsylvania
The natives are very ignorant, and
to us are curiosities. The girls marry
at 9 years of age and are mothers at
ten. Many of the natives are afflicted
with leprOsy. We see thousands Of
these people every day. We do not
fear them, but shun them as we would
the devil.
Just to our left is a native village.
The streets and fences are decorated
with human skulls. To our right is a
burying ground. Human skulls, with
flesh and hair yet attached, are lying
all around. Read Stanley's Darkest
Africa and you will get a fair idea Of
our scenes. Snakes ten to twelve feet
long are found in the jungles, and mon
keys chatter in the trees everywhere. ."

Very Serious.
(Harper's Weekly.
Every day the newspapers have re
ports of disorder created and damage
done by obstreperous or drunken vol
unteers. Bar-roOm brawls are COM
mon. There are, OF course, many ne'er-
do-weIls and some criminals IN our
armies. In time the incorrigibles
would be weeded out, and those amen
able to correction would be improved
by discipline Meanwhile the ructiOns
that our troops are responsible for are
probably not more numerous or Serl-
Gus than we ought to expect. 1t IS IN
teresting and somewhat cOnsOl1ng to
read that our British brethren have at
Halifax a regiment of new irish re
cruits which seems to be more dlsOr-
derby than any of ours. During the
week ending August 20 twenty-eight OF
| its members were sentenced to 1mprls-
Onment, and responsible men are so
scarce among the rest Of the rank and
file that it has been necessary to send
back to England for experienced ser
geants to keep the men in order.

ment today gave out the following let
ter addressed by Secretary Long TO the
President of the War Board in recogni-
ton of its services:
bingham, Mass.
My Dear Admiral: In view of the
practical ending of the war with Spain
and the well-earned relief from further
duty to which the Naval War Board is
now entitled, | cannot, though absent
from the department, fOrbear to ex-
press to you, and through you to your
associates on the board-CommodO
CrowninshieId and Captain Mahan (re-
tired -the very high appreciation
which the department has of the ser
vices it has rendered since the war be-
gan. That it's members have been
faithful and diligent in the highest
manner goes without saying, for they
are animated by the high professional
spirit which distinguishes the navy,
and which they have themselves done
much to stimulate and maintain. But
from my personal observation and
knowledge | desire to add to this that
equally marked have been the intelli-
gence, the wise judgment, the cOmpre-
hensive fOrethOught and the unfa1llng
competency to meet every eXlgency
which have distinguished their deliber-
atiOns and action. May it not be said
that not one error has been made?
Proper control by the department has
been exercised over all movements in
the field, and yet at the same time
commanding officers have been duly
left to exercise discretion and have
never been hampered in their work.
[ do not know how your work, as mem
bers of that important board, could
have been better done, or where, in the
arena of the war, you could have rem
dered better service or deserved more
honor Very truly yours,
JOHN D. LONG, Secretary OF Navy
To the Rear-Admiral Montgomery
Sicard, U. S. N, Chairman Naval War
Board, Washington.

REPRIEvE FOR DAVIS.
The Murderer Is Given . Further Lease

Of Life To Dec. Ia.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Boise. Idaho, Oct. Ex-Governor Steun-
enberg to-day at the request of the state
board OF pardons granted a reprieve to
"Diamondheld Jack" Davis. who was un-
DER sentence TO hang a week from to-
morrow for the murder of Cummings and
Wilson. the sheepherders. The reprieve is
TO last until Dec. l6 and further consid-
Grafton OF the case was postponed by the
board until Dec. ]. at which time the in
vestigation will again be taken up for
the purpose of ascertaining whether Da-
Wis killed the sheepmen.
James T.. Bower filed an affidavit in
support OF Davis plea for clemency that
the shooting was done in his presence by
Jen Gray I'm self-defense He allowed Da-
Wis to go to the foot of the scaffold be-
fore he stated the truth. 1t Is one OF the
most remarkable cases ever recorded IN
Idaho criminal courts.
II Is perhaps the first case on record
OF an election issue being made OF a
criminal proceeding. Governor Steunen-
berg Is up for reelection and the fact that
he granted the reprieve is being used in
dustriousy against him. The board of
pardons has prepared and given out a
voluminous statement. covering its rea-
sons for granting the reprieve and this
statement is being used to combat the
arguments of the opponents of the gov
ernor. IL is the general conviction that
nothing can be said to rebut the affda-
Wit of Bower as the only other living eye
witness to the tragedy. The almost univer-
sal belief is that "Diamondfield Jack" will
ultimately be given his freedom.

Boiler Bursts on q Torpedo Boat
With Fatal Results.

Three Others Arc Expected to Die-Ths
Boat Was on Her Omciai Trial Trip.
Deraneement of Q Water
Gauge the Cause.

Astoria, Ore. Oct. 20-During the
trial trip Of the torpedo boat Davis to-
day an explosion occurred in one of the
boilers. Men in the boiler room were
scalded. three dying from their in
juries. The dead are:
CHARLES O'NEILL. fireman.
PAUL LUITHLE. coal passer.
HARRY WOODS. fireman.
The injured are: w. Woods, superin-
tendent of the boiler ROOM, ]. Ryan
fireman: A. Johnson. fireman; A.
Buehle, fireman. The accident occurred
in the Columbia river. about 20 miles
above this city. while the boat was on
her trial run. The nature of the explo-
sion has not yet been made known, as
an examination of the boilers will be re-
quired to determine exactly what por-
ton OF the boilers burst.
One OF the men on the Davis said: 1T
Is impossible to tell whether the tubes
In the boiler or a steam pipe burst. All
we know Is that an explosion occurred.
The boiler room was filled with boiling
water and steam and the men In the
room were scalded to death.
The Davis was towed here by a river
steamer and the injured men taken to
st. Mary's hospital
The Davis carried II men all told. She
was one of two torpedo boats recently
built by wolff & Zwicker at Portland
and was soon to have gone into COM
mission.
At the time of the accident the boat
was In charge OF the Official trial board.
The officers declined to make any state
ment as to the cause of the accident.
The best theory obtainable Is that
some of the tubes In the forward boiler
exploded, owing to a arrangement OF
the automatic water gauge. which per-
mitted the water to get too low. Ex-
cepting for the havoc naturally wrought
In the fire room. the boat Is uninjured.
the hull and engines being in perfect
condition. II is the opinion Of the sur
geons in charge of the men at the hos
pital that all OF the injured will die.
The Davis left up the river for the ship
yard tonight In tow OF the tug Harvest
Queen.
Later-Late tonight the four injured
died. making the total dead seven.
