participated in the battle at Manila, Col.
Loc. chief quartcrmaster ut Camp
Thomas. and Major Hersey who was
for time in command Of the Roosevelt
Rough Riders. Each agreed in saying
that no army was ever so abundantiy
and luxuriously supplied as was the
American army in the Spanish war.
General L. Y. Greene, who was in
States troops at the battle of Manila
was the first witness.
The health of the troops at Manila
was excellent, and the commissary sup
plies were abundant. but there was diff

/ but during the other twenty-four days

There were only % or 80 sick in his

efficient. and had heard no complaint
from the men in the hospitals. The
sinks were inspected twice daily
1t had been impossible to properly sup
ply the men with shoes, and as a conse-
quonce about three hundred of the
troops marched into the city barefoot
after the capitulation.
General Greene thought the army regu-
lati0ns should be adapted more to cam
paign experiences than at present. The
commissary was so restricted that in n
case where Il lighter sank with rations
for a regiment, the commissary could
not issue others. without the authority
Of board Of survey.
Speaking Of the camp at San Fran
cisco, he said the site of camp Merritt
was very poor, but did not know wheth-
er better site could have been secured.
The location was made by General Otis
and General Greene felt safe in deny
ing the report that there had been collu-
sion with the railroad authorities in
choosing the site.
General Greene stated that the most
hagrant evidence of neglect that he had
seen during the war. was in the case
Of the transports at New York. Their
condition was Of character that should
have been remedied. He had also seen
green coffee issued, both in Florida and
at Manila
Comparing the experience Of his troops
with those Of Turkey and RUSSIA, he
said he had seen more suffering in the
Turkish army in Il day than he had seen

and said the comparison at every point
was favorable to the American troops.

Spaniards have been deported.

ORIGIN OF THE UTE WAR.
The killing of Two White Men Cost
the Government $4,000.

The last attempt to forcibly convince the
Utes of the majesty of the Colorado law
cost just sS0.3l472, when all the bills were
allowed, exclusive of interest which has
since piled up to quite a fortune itself. Two
whites were killed and four We're wounded.
This happened in August. 1887, when all
the White River Valley was included in
Garfield county. Under this treaty the
Utes could occupy the unsettled part of
their old reservation. not only for a hunting
ground, but to pasture their herds of
ponies, goats and cattle. This privilege
they used to the utmost and they became
very undesirable neighbors for the whites,
who were just occupying the country them
selves.
A young Ute buck gambling for ponies
designated as a stake a horse belonging to
a white man. He lost, and when the winner
went to take the pony and found it was
not his, a warrant was sworn out for the
Ute charge of horse stealing. Arrest
was resisted; the Utes scuttled into the
hills and the sheriff s posse was swelled by
every man in the county that could carry
a gum The Utes knew every inch of the
hills and the whites knew only the valley
trails. No knew where the Ctes
were and terror seized the whale region,
every ranchman feeling that a band of
hostiles might sweep down upon him at
any moment. Urgent appeals were sent to
Gov. Elva Adams, VINO is governor now,
showing such condition of affairs that
the whole state militia sent into the
field. United States troops were sent in
from Fort Duchesne, too. The militia found
the Indians at The mouth of Miller creek,
but while complicated military strategy was
in progress the Utes stole away. Next day
scouts found them at the fork of White
river where Buffalo postoffice is now
There was a lively running fight, in which
the only casualties or the war occurred,
as before enumerated.
Then the Utes, minus from seven to
twenty of their men-nO one knew how
many-abandoned their f1ocks, raced back
to Utah. The settlers took in the ponies and
cattle the goats were left to the mountain
lions and the Utes abandoned the idea of
anything more than brief and fugitive WIS.,
it's to Colorado. COlorOw, after craving
permission of the whites. paid last regret
full visit to the White River Valley and then
died in his lodge in Utah. Since then the
Utes, though bad tempered enough, have
had no leader whose name bore any terror
to white ears, and so have avoided any col
lisions, sneakng in and out by unfrequented
ways.-Denver Republican.

OF single man becoming insane are six
times and more greater than the chances
OF married man going mad Between the
ages of 20 and "a the odds" against the
single man are something like n to 10,
although they become slightly smaller as
the ages increase.
AS far as women are concerned, the
married woman has a marked superiority
over the unmarried woman, according to
this report; but this superiority is far from
being so great as that Of a married man
over a single man.
Il had charge OF an insane asylum in
this state for number of years. and my
experience leads me to believe that the
conditions prevailing in Great Britain pre-
vail to the same extent right here in
America.
"A young man without the restraint of
marriage develops a general irritation or
restlessness. He begins to drink. or what
is worse, begins to smoke cigarettes. to
keep late hours.
"All this causes excessive irritation OF
the nervous system, which uses up the
elasticity OF the nerves and dries up the
juicy walls In the cells in the front part
OF the brain, which is the seat of the mind.
1t Is the elastic condition Of these cells of
the brain which determines a mans bal
ance of mind. The moment the cells be-
come dried up then the mind snaps and
the person is a maniac
Another great factor in irritating the
nervous organism between the ages Of 19
and % is the fact that at this age young
man is looking about to determine into
what profession or line of business III

KANSAS PACIFIC SALE.
The OrER niZatiOn Committee Holds
the First Mortgage in n Position
to Squeeze Out Uncle Sans
Second Mortgage.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. Gov.
Hoadley was in consultation with the at
torney general yesterday upon the subject
of foreclosures against the Kansas Pacific
railroad. 1t has been decided by the de-
partment of justice that the government
will exercise the power conferred upon
the president by the act of 1887 and te-
deem the claims of the first mortgage
bondholders upon the eastern and middle
divisions respectively and become sub
rogated under the law of their rights.
This will make the government the owner
OF both the first and second liens upon
these divisions of the road.
An application will be made to Judge
Sanborn at St. Louis next Saturday for
leave to redeem, for a postponement of
the sales of the road which are now ad-
Nertised to take place on February 16 II
and IL, and for the appointment Of re-
ceiNer in the government suit to opera tie
the railroad for the benefit of it's liens
The present receivers are opera ting the
road under the suit of the third mort
gage bondholders commonly called the
consolidated mortgage). BY this means
it is expected that the immediate sale of
the property will be deferred and that
the government will have more opportul-
ity to negotiate for a better price than
has been offered by the reorganization
committee, which controls the first mort
the profitable option of the road if it
continues to be profitably managed will.
under the receiver appointed in the gov
eminent suit. be to the advantage of the
government by way of reduction of it's
claims.
Notices OF the application to be made
next Saturday have been served by tele-
gram upon the reorganization committee
and upon the counsel of the respective I'M
DERIVING mortgages. Ample authority for
this action on the part of the government
is conferred by the act of March s. 1857
Whlch provides that whenever in the oDin-
ion of the president it shall be deemed
necessary to the protection of the govern
ments interests in any Of the bond aided
roads, the secretary Of the treasury Is
required to redeem or otherwise clear off
the paramount lien or mortgage by paving
tie sums lawfully due out Of the treas
ury.
The amount which will be necessary to
pay the first lien holders in this case
Is something over $S,0000OO the same
amount which the government would have
been compelled to pay them had it ac-
CURED title under the pending sale The
situation OF the government is regarded
by Attorney General Griggs, who advises
the present course, and other leading off,
clals, as greatly improved thereby, and it
Is now expected that Judge Sanborn under
the circumstances, will willingly consent
to postpOnement of the sale for an
indefinite period or at least to a date suffi-
GENTLY remote to allow the government
ample time to dispose of it's interests To
the best advantage
