law. Armories are rented by the
companies. The State arsenal is too
small andinadequate for the purpose.
Springfield rifles now in use should
be replaced by the newer ones turned
in by regular army. The condition
of the guard is improving steadily.
Considering the discouragements
under which it labors, the small APP
propriation made for its support by
the State (barelv sufficient to pay
the armory rents Of the companies
and the moderate expenses of the
adjutant generals office) without
any aid for encampments, it is sur
prising and gratifying to note the
interest manifested by both officers
and men. 1t is desired by the Gov
ernor and is confidently expected
that the next legislature will con-
siderably increase the appropriation
for the support of the guard and
restore he fund for annual encamp-
ments which was cut off by the legis-
lature of 1898.
A high military authority, speak
ing of the uses and objects of the
notional guard, SAYS: 1T is a citizen
soldiery of the United States. 1t is
the reserve army of this country, the
only one We have. 1t is not only
subject to the call of the Governor of
the State, but it is also subject to the
Presidents call. 1t can be used by
the Governors of the several States
to uphold the law within their res
pective States: it can be used BY the
United States to repel any hostile
force Under the acts of Congress.
based upon constitutional provision,
the national guard of any State may
be used under the orders of the
States; that is to say, if the President
saw fit he could order the national
guard for duty in Cuba or in Canada.
After it has been ordered into the
service of the United States its only
distinction. so far as it's duty is
concerned, is that the courts-martial
which may be called on to try offences
of national guardsmen must be COM
posed of officers of the national
guard. In the event that the Presi-
dent should desire troops of the
national guard he would address a
request to the Governor of such
States as command the tr .ps he
desires. to furnish the number Of
men required, to report at designat-
ed point. On arrival at the point
designated the troops would be re-
ported to the United States army
officer in command. The President
can call on Governor for any or all of
his national guard regiment and may
designate the regiments wanted. Ifa

If I were teaching geography and

ernment in school, | would com
bine them all and teach them out of

erence.
The futility of cramming meaning
less geography into children's heads
will appear to most people on second
thought, except those who teach it
and those who make and publish the
books. 1t was only yesterday that !
saw a graduate of our University
take up an atlas and institute a
search for the English Channel. There
is no doubt that man had had that
question asked him fifty times in
school. This only shows how long
some of our senseless teaching lasts.
My hope is that we may be wise
enough to see the necessity of at
least some teaching of a better kind
in the schools.

RESENTMENT AGAINST AROLAS- POPTLA-
TIOS GENERALLY PEACEFUL
10y CABLE To THE TRIBUNE.

Havana. Nov. lI--iiavana Is quiet since the
strike Of the Ordrn Publico was suppressed but
the strain Is intense and the outlook does not
improve. The population generally shows
peaccabe disposition, looking upon the trouble
as an army matter. but the Impotence for
American control is great.
Little can be learned Of the feeling among the
troops. though the evidence If unrest is pro-
nounccd. and the resentment against Arolas
for the killing Of one OF the Orden Pubco is
bitter II is now admitted that his death
caused 10y a blow from Arolas's machete and
not by blows struck by other officers
Banco is concilatory. and hopes to handle
the disanected soldiers by persuasion, while
Arolas is arbitrary. and insists on exercising all
his functions military governor. He would
quel the incipient mutiny with cannon. but 1t
is not certain that one body Of troops would fire
Oh the others.
The plan has been to bring in battalions from
the country, who were not in association with
the Orden Publico 1t answers temporarily,
but Will not be a permanent assurance Of peace.
The statement is made that all the men Of the
Ordcn PublicO have been disarmed, but this is
doubted.
Small payments to other battaons Of arrears
due make palliative but not a cure. The
bankers say that $2.5oo,oO0 out Of SS.ooo,0o0
supplied by the Madrid Government has been
paid over but none Of it has gone 10 the
soldiers.
To-day the troops camped In Havana streets
are more numerous than on Thursday. when the
crisis came They are more than needed for
police duty. but do not fulfil the police functions
abandoned by the Orden Publico. Besides the
military unrest. the presence Of the troops is
bad for sanitary reasons az the exercise Of the
functions Of the civil government is absolutely
SUSPENDED.
