SKATER SPEAKS.
Tells His Civil War Comrades Just
How Tt Was.

Chicago, Sept. ga special dispatch
to the Tribune from Constantine, Mich,
gives the following speech made by
Gen. Shafter at that place, where he
went to attend the reunion OF the 18th
Michigan regiment, of which he was
colonel during the civil war:
Gen. Shafter said that when the fleet
first left Tampa 1T was intended to land
1t IS miles from Havana and march on
that city When, however, the fleet put
back because of the reported prOximi-
~ of Spanish squadron, word was
received from Admiral Sampson that
Santiago could be taken in "A hours
and the army sailed for that point. Gen.
Shafter then described in his own char
aeteristic manner the campaign at San
tiagO. After reaching the point in his
tory where the Spanish general offered
to surrender, Gen. Shafter concluded as
follOws:
4 said Toral might march out. salute
his flag before taking 1T down and fire
guns and any other ceremonies he
pleased, and would observe what
so they took down their flag, fred
their guns, and Santiago was surren-
When we raised our flag the officers
took off their hats and our guns salu-
ted.
"A lot has been said about the lack
OF supplies. Men who go to war expect
to be short ratiOned sometimes. You
old soldiers here have often had much
less to eat than the soldiers ever did
at Santiago. My command during the
civil war often drew corn in the cob
for a meal.
1T was not a question of having sup
plies, when, II we had thousand Wag-
ons, the fearful roads would not have
enabled us to take them to the front
They had coffee, bread and meat. Some
times they had to pound the coffee in a
rag, but you all did that. Some of the
men complained, but they are good SOL
diers in spite of that and fought like
heroes when called on. A large number
of men died.
''Ients could not be upt up because
the men were in the trenches and tents
could not be pitched on the firing line
I'VE stayed longer than we expected
after the surrender but had to stay
the honor of the government demanded
1t, and we stayed. Five hundred men
came down every day with sickness, and
some days 500.
But we brought the war to a close
The capture of the fleet prevented
fresh troops from being brought over,
but 1t did not stop the war. The sur
render Of ToraPs army did stop it.
People say we should not have made
that campaign in the summer. What
else could be done? We had to end the
war and end it quickly. There was less
loss of life by 100 per cent than any
similar invasion. Napoleon returned
from Egypt with only a remnant OF his
army OF $4,000 men England sent to
this country in the war of the reVolu-
ton, 1900 laid their bones down to
which they fought.
our campaign would have been
frightfully disastrous if 1T had been
long"

Two Fast Harness Horses Have a
Windy Day.

ReadvilIe, Mass, Sept. 23.-Barring Star
Pointer, the two fastest harness horses in
the world Joe Patchen and John R. Gen
try, had a match race at the Readville
track yesterday, and the Marks horse won
in two straight heats A stiff wind blew
down the stretch and held the horses
back, so the time was slow, the first heat
being in 2:O5$4 and the second in 2:04A.
The day was cloudy and dull but a
crowd of over 900 was in the big stand.
Patchen, who was driven by his owner,
G. W. Marks of Chicago, was given the
pole and at once went head, being a
length in the lead at the quarter.
The horses kept the same relative posi-
lions until well by the half mile pole,
when Gentry began to close up and al
most nailed Patchen at the three-quarters.
From there to the finish the crowd saw a
grand race, for Mr.. Marks drove in the
best style, and managed to keep Gentry
at his wheel until just at the finish, when
the big bay almost caught him, the two
horses going under the wire with only
Patchen's black nose in front. The next
heat up to the half mile was practically
a repetition of the first, for Patchen went
Immediately to the front,and not only kept
the lead, but was three lengths ahead when
the horses came to the three-quarters pole.
Again Gentry made great squirt IN the
stretch, but was not fast enough for
Patchen and the latter won the heat and
the race by a good length.
With a warm sun and no wind the race
might have been sensational, but it was
too cool for either of the horses. Time.

YANKEE CHOSEN
As President of the Imperial Univer-
sity of China

Washington, Sept. 23.-The state de-
partment has received from Minister
Conger, at Pekin, information that DR..
William A. P. Martin has been appoint
ed to the important post of president of
the imperial university of China, re-
Gently established by imperial decree.
DR.. Martin is a citizen of the United
States, but went to China as a mis-
sionary about 40 years ago, and has
passed most of his time since then in
that country. In his knowledge of the
people, their language. folk lore and
customs DR.. Martin is considered to
nave no equal. He was president of the
Pekin university for nearly so years and
is the author Of several works on China
and her people. The doctors appoint
ment the minister adds, carries with
1t Chinese official rank and promotes
him from the blue to the red button,
that is from third to the second-class.
There was at first considerable opposi-
ton to his appointment, but particu-
larly owing to the efforts of Ii Hung
Chang the matter was compromised by
the appointment of two presidents, DR..
Martins colleague being Hsu King
Cheng, now minister to Russia. The
selection of the corps of professors, some
20, not including so native tutors, is left
entirely in the hands of DR.. Martin.

DON'T WANT TO GO.
A Returned goth Kansas Man Says
Soldiers Don't Want to Garrison
Manila.

T. Q. Whitted, who enlisted in the
Twentieth Kansas volunteers, has re-
turned to Topeka He secured a dis
charge for disability and says that he
has had enough of war
THE fact is said he, that the men
do not get enough to eat. The govern
ment furnishes more than the soldiers
could possibly eat, but before it gets to
them it somehow dWindles down to al
most nothing. do not know who is at
fault but do know that the men are
not given as much as they should have
to eat"
In speaking of the trouble between
Col Funston and Lieutenant Colonel
Ed Little, Mr.. Whitfield said: There
was more in the row here at home than
there was there. There was nothing in
It but politics and we all understood
that There is a great difference in the
two men. Little gets down among the
men and Funston holds himself up
above them. Little is liked by every
man in the regiment. There is not a sol
der in the regiment who would not
fight for Little.
. ''The boys don't want to go to Ma
Mia They know that the war is over
and are tired of the show. They have
heard the story about going to Manila
so often that they do not believe it
now"

HAULED TO SCHOOL.
Ellsworth County Districts Have
Been Consolidated.


State Superintendent Stryker has had
practical demonstration of the sue
cess OF his idea concerning the cOnsOli-
dation of district schools, doing away
with many teachers, cutting down the
expenses of maintaining schools and
decreasing the amount of taxation for
school purposes.
During the last session of the Iegfs-
lature a special bill was passed empow~
ering the directors of adjoining districts
IN Ellsworth county to consolidate them
and provide for the maintenance of one
school in place of three.
This idea IS one which Mr.. Stryker
has been putting forward for some time
and he watched the progress of the
Ellsworth county plan with much in
terest He even took the pains, while
returning to Topeka a few days ago,
TO stop off at Lorraine and inquire into
the matter, making also some personal
observations. Tie result of his visit is
explained by himself as follows:
The districts have been consolidated
and the school is beginning under the
most favorable circumstances. Where
six teachers were employed three are
now necessary. Where three school
houses were being maintained only one
now is necessary and in it Is being held
a graded school, the high school being
the most important, as it gives to the
pupils advantages which have never
before been enjoyed by them.
The directors have completed the
preliminary plans for the opening of
school including the closing of con-
tracts to haul the children living at a
great distance to the school house This
is the feature of general interest and
one which attracts wide attention. This
is the only state in the union where
such plans are being followed 1t will
prove successful, I am sure" said Mr.
Stryker growing enthusiastic, land
believe it is the fOrerunner OF greater
daVA1nn01aUtS in this direction

MILES HAS IT FIXED.
His Plan for Reorganization of the
Army is Completed.

Washington, Sept. 23.-Major General
Miles, commanding the army, has COM
pleted his plan for the reorganization
of the volunteer forces into corps, di-
visions and brigades. This plan has

which has not been ordered mustered
out, and designates an army of Occupa-
ton for Cuba, provides for the relief of
the army in Porto Rico, and esta blishes
a reserve of relief troops in the various
islands which viii be occupied by the

Seventh corps, now under General Lee,
will be designated to go to Cuba, and
that the troops from the camps at Lex
ington, Knoxville and Aiddletown, will
be selected for Cuban duty. 1t is I'M
derstood that General Miles deals only
with organizations, such as corps, di-
visions, brigadeS and regiments. The
matter of commanding and staff officers
will be settled after the mastering out Of
