LEBANON, Ind, Sept. 13.-Jesse NJ
Troutman, sergeant of Company B, Tenth
Infantry, stoutly defends the authorities
from the attacks made by sensational news
paper correspondents. In letter to his
brother, Councilman John Troutman, of this
city. he says: Il suppose you have been
reading about the starving of the soldiers
and other similar rot published in the
papers abusive of General Shafter and other
big officials. / was clear through the San
tiago campaign and was in every days
fighting and | am positive that things could
not have been better done had Grant, Lee
or any other general been in command
General Shafter did everything he could
We were short on Fations a few times but
had we had every mule and wagon in the
United States they could not have taken
forward rations enough to supply the army
owing to the condition of the roads. But as
soon as the homeSick volunteers and q few
reporters got home they began to raise
cain about the mismanagement of the army
Had they left some of the volunteers at
home that we had with us there would be
living to-day some men of my own brigade
who are dead owing to the wild shooting of
the volunteers"
Mr.. Troutman is now at Camp Wikoff In
speaking of the place he says: This is 3
fine place here and everything that heart

RICHMOND, Ind, Sept. 13.-Hon. c. E.
Shiveley, of this city, a prominent member
of the knights of Pythias, has received a
circular from Honolulu giving a warning
to the people of this country. 1t is issued
by the knights of Pythias lodges of that
city and is addressed to all knights of
Pythias. 1t says:
THE annexation of these islands (Ia-
waiian) by the United States has caused
many of the brethren to project attempts
TO better their condition or to find employ
ment in what they consider new country.
Such we consider ii our duty to warn and to
speak to in plain terms The social and
business communities of these islands were
old and well established before the rush to
California. This is in no sense a new cOun-
try. The only opportunity here is for the
man of large capital. There is no employ
ment here for mechanics of any kind or for
unskilled labor. Many men of ability, of
good habits and frSt-claSs recommendations
are now here practically stranded. All lines
of small business are filled, and in most
cases crowded. Do not come here unless
you have the assurance in advance of
steady employment or have the capital to
engage in land development enterprises re-
quiring large means. We spread this posi-
tive advice because we wish to save
brethren disappointment and distress. We
state the facts as in more than honor bound
and trust sincerely that this circular will
accomplish its mission.

New Workers May Have a Parade.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1S.-General Miles
said to-day that dispatches were being ex-
changed with New York concerning the
proposed parade of troops there, and, al
though he feared the parade was off, yet
efforts were still under way to bring it
about.
Aside from the troops coming from Porto
Rico and those at Montauk there are some
seven thousand cavalry horses, which, with
their mounts would make a considerable
showing of the equipment for the mounted
branch of the service. About one thousand
horses are to be disposed of, but the re-
naming six thousand probably will be
driven across Long island up to New York.
thence to take stock trains for distribu-
ton to cavalry posts The drive through
Long island would not take place until after
next Saturday, so that a parade with this
cavalry adjunct hardly could be arranged
before next week. AS a result of the tele-
grams being exchanged with New York, a
final decision on the parade is likely to be
reached very soon.
