PERSECUTION OF HERR.
State Department Will Demand In
demnity From France.


London. June 2.-Documents proving
the American citizenship of DR.. Cor
nclius Herr, who was prominently con-
| nected with Panama canal matters,
are now on their way to Washington.
1t is said that Secretary Day has in
formed DR.. Herr that if he can show
he has done all possible without avail
through his lawyers to obtain compen-
sation from France for his seeming
persecution the United States Will take
up his case.
1t was announced in January, 1897,
that counsel for DR.. Herr presented at
Washington a claim for Indemnity in
the sum of S., 600, 600 against the French
government for the alleged illegal at
tempt to prosecute DR.. Herr. DR.. Herr,
whose name stands very high in scien-
tific circles as an electrician and ply
stefan, was born in France of French
parentage, was educated in New York,
and at the age of 16 years served in
the United States army. He married
an American woman and when his
children were born in Paris he caused
them to be registered at the American
consulate.
Jan. TO- 1898, while he was stopping
at Bournemouth, England, with his
wife, he was arrested under extradition
proceedings on a warrant from the
French government, charging him with
fraud and embezZlement, growing out
of the Panama canal scandal. Under
the law, a prisoner wanted for extra
6ition must appear at the Bow street
police court. DR.. Herr was confined to
his bed and so was unable to appear
The case was kept open and he was
kept under arrest in his bed for four
years. Then the British parliament
came to his aid and passed an act for
the magistrate to proceed to the bed
side and take his testimony. This was
done, and the magistrate promptly de-
clared that the charges were invalid
and scarcely deserving of notice. Herr
was thereuDon released from arrest.
Meanwhile, the French government
had instituted numerous proceedings
against him in France and confiscated
all his property and that Of his wife.
DR.. Herr alleged that this was Derse-
cution pure and simple and that the
French government knew even before
his trial that the charges against him
were baseless. Therefore. claiming to
have been injured in name and in
health and in other ways, he demanded
that the state department should pre-
sent a claim against the government of
France.
Although he mentioned no sum, the
brief showed that he demanded the
sum of S., 600, 900 in letter he sent to
the president of the French republic,
which was never answered.

ice at Dyea, but utterly out Of the ques-
tion in the suff0cating heats OF a coun-
try that lies nearer the equator than
Calcutta ard Bombay.
The problem OF clothing troops COM
fortably in hot climates, which was
long before the government of India,
resulted in the adoption of khaki CLOTH
a kind of linen, light but stout, and or
the protective color of dried grass
Possibly and very probably it cannot
be had here nor lawfully procured from
Hongkong, but there are drillings near
~ as serviceable which the government
might easily get and make up in time
TO equip the troops now waiting TO
start. We do not doubt that enough
tailors and SeamstresSes could be had
in San Francisco TO make up LOCO OF
such light suits per diem. What mat
ters il if red tape rules are in the way?
The main thing is to equip the troops
for the weather they are to meet, not
for the satisfaction of martinets, who.
like the Bourbons, learn nothing and
forget nothing.
Suits of drilling, green-visored he'll
NETS of cork, hammocks and mosquito
netting viii save more u4acctmated
lives in the Philippines than the red
cross. But wooden uniforms, felt hats
and blanketed sleeping billets on the
ground are bound to fight for Spain.
These comments are just, and before
the troops have been in Manila week
they will all testify that the WOODEN
uniform is a curse and a danger. Their
only salvation in this respect will be
to buy themselves clothing suitable TO
the climate, unless the war department
insists that they shall die in regulation
uniform rather than live in climatically
suitable clothing. Red tape and wooden
clothing seem to predominant in the
war department.

In the Philippine islands people need
scarcely more clothing than Adam and
Eve did Immediately after the fail, and
fashion and comfort bid them wear as
light and loose clothing as they pos

world is lighter clothing worn than at
Manila The American troops that are
soing to the Philippines go with tight
fitting wooden clothing that is very
comfortable in pretty cool climates, but
that viii simply serve as men killers
in Manila. Commenting on this mat
ter, the San Francisco Chronicle says:
Perhaps the oHartermaster's depart
ment of the army is doing its fun duty
toward the troops going TO the Philip
pines, but such new uniforms as are ia
evidence among the volunteers, the ar
tillery command at the Fontana bar

THERE IS STEALING SOME
WHERE.


Yesterday we received from Senator
Frank J. Cannon a letter, in which he
says:
Some time since 1 had the pleasure of
making reQuisition upon the war de-
partment for a military map Of Cuba,
TO be sent to you. Two weeks elapsed
before the department was able to COM
ply with the request On the 18th day
Of May 1 was advised by Assistant Sec
rotary MeiklejOhn that he had for
warded the map to your address. AS
this is most valuable publication, and
as / have had frequent complaints that
matters OF this character have gone
astray in the mails beg that you will
trouble yourself to inform me if you
received the map in question.
We were under the necessity to an
swer Senator Cannon that the map
had not been received. There is some
thing very rotten somewhere in the
postcfice department. For several
months magazines and reviews that are
issued monthly that The Herald has
been receiving regularly have been go
ing astray. This very month Of June
the Century, Scribners Magazine and
the Review of Reviews have not been
received; some months as many as five
or six have gone astray. Complaint at
the postofice elicits the reply that they
have never been received, and that the
trouble is in the railway mail service.
Where the trouble lies we do not pre-
tend to say, but when anywhere from
two TO six magazines and reviews go
astray every month, it is certain that
there is some stealing going on some
where. There should be an inTestiga-
ton, and we hope that Senator Can
non, whose mail seems to go astray as
we'll as other peoples. will make COM
plant to the postoffice department and
have one instituted.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

| Chicago Dispatch: Perhaps something
Will be done toward prosecuting the war

| invasion Of Cuba will begin next Thurs
day, and Havana canot run away,
perhaps the bombardment of Blanco 5
stronghold will be inaugurated. So far
the board of strategy has let spain play
/ four cruisers and three torpedo boats has
kept the United States squadron of 10
men of war busiiy engaged in burning
coal and disappointing the expectations
of the people.
St Louis Globe-Democrat: admiral
/ Dewey is one of the most economical men
in the service of the government. The
cable tolls from Manila are so high that
he deems it imprudent TO report oftener
than once a fortnight, and even at this
his messages are confined to simple
statement that he is we'll and in complete
control of the situation. His style of
correspondence not only saves expense,
but tends TO discourage any attempt at
familiarity on the part OF the board OF
strategy.
Chicago Chronicle: Any excuse for

the Spanish ships designed for the relief
of Cuba have placed themselves hors du
combat. For the purpose of naval opera

be a difficult task for even a moiety OF
our fleet operating in those waters. The
rest may be spared for an assault upon
the capital of Cuba, held defiantly. even
eXultingly, by Captain General Blanco.
Denver Republican: This government
cannot afford to remain idle awaiting pos
sible developments. Cuba must be freed
from Spanish domination at the earliest
possible moment, and no further delays

paign shall be delayed. the worse will be
the condition of the sufferers from
Butcher" Weyler's malign orders of re-
concentration. 1t was the suffering of
righteous American wrath, and this
should never be overlooked for moment.
Chicago Dispatch: Dewey didn't wait
for land force to support him. If he
had delayed for that reason he would still
be doing what the Atlantic squadron is
doing. which is simply nothing. How
ever. as has been said. there is some pros
pect of action during this week. May
the people not be disappointed, and may
a quick sharp and decisive blow be struck
which will end the war.

will be Cuba will go to Hanna, Puerto
Rico to Elkins, the Philippines to Fair
