One of the things the next Legisln-
-ture is expected to do is to inquire into
the investments of the school money
by the present state administration.
There is a report, possibly a truth, that
some OF the state money has been
loaned upon security that does not Sc
cure. Likewise there will be an inves-
tigatlon into some of the borrowings
that have been going on. There Is an
AWFUL cloud OF secrecy surrounding the
states finances, and the books are not
exposed to public view, nor are the
facts about many transactions made
public, But the light will be turned
on in due time.-Sentinel.
AS the above is mostly a sneaking
InsInuatlon, It is condemned by ITSELF
II the Sentinel knows of any crook
edness, why doesn't 1t have manhood
enough to tell It? When the Sentinel
saws chat a cloud OF secrecy surrounds
the state finances, It wilfullF and de-
lIberately misrepresents. There never
was a time in the history OF the state
when there has been as much publicity
in the AFFAIRS of the treasurers office
as the present. The books are open to
inspection at all times, and the treas
urer is always ready to tell Just what
Is being done with state funds. MT.

THE GALLANT SIXTEENTH.
Sergeant Major Patterson Tells of It's Heroic Conduct. at Santiaqo de Cuba.

An interesting letter has been received by John L.: Eerget from Samuel c. Pat terson of San Francisco; sergeant major of the Sixteenth United States Infantry under date of July g. in intrenchments in front of Santiago de Cuba, from which the following extracts are taken:
 For the past few days we have been under a flag of truce. awaiting the result of some kind of peace. negotiations. It was a great battle: It lasted from 6:25 a. .n July 1 until II a. m. July B. In looking. over the battlefield we wonder by what manner of luck so many of us lived through the fight For hours there was hail of bullets. Our regiment and the Sixth, I am proud to say, did the hardest and best. work of the whole army But let me tell you that war is a thing horrible beyond all powers of description:
 If the United States is not proud of It's regular army it. ought to. be. The bravery and fortitude displayed by it has, in my opinion, never been equaled. You must remember that this is the first great battle fought with rapid-fre guns and under modern conditions.

 letter received at the Presidio yester- day says: ''The First Infantry was sup porting Captain Capron's battery of ar tilIery. They did not lose man. A majority of the officers and enlisted men of the First would have greatly preferred to have served with Colonel Miles. The condition of affairs prevents Colonel Miles from recommending any of his own regiment for advancement"
 Other letters report that General Shaf- ter did everything in his power to have Colonel Miles placed on the retired list before the campaign opened, and came very near accomplishing his purpose.
 When all the facts are brought out, 1t will doubtless be found that General Shafter had good grounds for holding the First in reserve as artillery support. He commanded the regiment for eleven years and knew that it could be trusted in the event of great exigence in battle. As affairs turned out the regiment did not get under a deadly range of fire. but nevertheless the men performed the duty which they were directed to perform and deserve credit for that performance. Per haps General Shafter thought the enemy might mass for 3 determined sortie, and,

No animal can en- Croach upon his neighbor's allotment of space. Each stall is provided with a metal feed trough, and water faucets have been applied to piping at frequent intervals.
 :: Each stall is provided with a veteri- nary sling. This is a canvas and rope affair. by means of which sick horses may be suspended. It is. thought that these will be necessary after a severe storm, and will also permit of the horses resting at any time. The mules, more hardy than their fellows. have been placed on the tween decks, while the horses are on what was originally the main deck Above this. however, there has been built a false deck that will make who go in charge of the horses. The com fort of the men has been well cared for.
 Lieutenant Cameron is in charge of the expedition. With him is Dr. Emerson, acting assistant surgeon, and Dr. Plum mer. a veterinary surgeon The horses will be cared for by thirty men from the Fourth Cavalry and nineteen civilian teamsters, The horses are the pick ot those availah hle, while the mules, which will be used by General Merritt for trans portation, have been used by the quarter master in this department The ship is expected to sail at noon to-day.

The Utah Cavalry, which has been or dered to leave the Presdio tomorrow and proceed to Yosemite Valley and the Se- Quoia National Park in seperate detach- ments, will not go this week. The delay has been caused by .he fact that there have been. no pack mules furnished to Captain Caine for use with the necessary wagons It will require about fifty mules mules can be secured. which will probably be next week, the cavalry will start: Cap tain Caine said yesterday that his com mand was ready to move just as soon as the mules were furnished him.

The conditions at the division hospital are daily improving. While the hospital is filled to it's utmost capacity the mor- talfty is greatly on the decrease. There have been no deaths reported for the past two days. The surgeons and nurses are working faithfully and since the men have got into barracks the surgeons have been able to cope with cases that would have been fatal in tents.
 Sergeant Charles H. A. Brooke, Troop B, Fourth Cavalry, has been appointed sergeant major of the regiment, vice Dis ser, appointed post quartermaster. Ser geant Brooke's promotion is a deserved one and he Is highly thought of by his officers.
