The warm sunny days have walked up
the sugar makers who are now getting

chase of stock, until the rise, which
obliged them to cancel their orders. This
is q sad mishap to the poorer class of

but letter times are hoped for soon.

POLITICS IN THE ARMY.
Experienced Officers in the National
Guard Are Ignored.

New York. June 4-Much interest was
manifested by National Guardsmen in the
announced determination Of Orig. Gen.
McCIosky Butt 10 obtain from President
Mckinley an appointment as brigadier
general in the American Volunteer Army.
1t was told that Gen. Butt went 10 Wash
ingtOn on that mission last Tuesday at
midnight. and returning 10 this city late
on Wednesday hurried to Albany.
Il is known that politics has entered
largely into the appointment OF brigadier
generals thus far made by the President.
and only one or two persons whose names
have been suggested from this State have
been recognized. 1t was said that Col
Frederick Dent Grant owed his appoint
ment as brigadier general 10 the friend

nected by marriage with the Havemeyers.
of sugar fame. and it was cOnjectured
that perhaps their influence would be OBJ

Gen. Roy Stone. who was yesterday ap-
pointed a brigadier general at one time
was an engineer in the Department Of
Public Works of the former city Of New
York, and in 1880 presented two petitions
TO Mayor Grant for appointment 10 a Va
cant aqueduct cOmmissiOnership.
l. IS q matter of comment among Ma
tional Guardsmen that suggestions by
Governor BACK as 70 the appointment OF
brigadier generals have been ignored.
The governor recommended Major Gen.
Charles F. Roe and Brigadier Generals
George Moore Smith, McCOsky Butt and
Peter c. Doyle for appointment. but their
military sphere is still restricted to the
/ National Guard.
An officer of the National Guard said
| yesterday:
Every member of the National Guard
/ is wondering why Generals Roe Smith.
/ Butt and Doyle have been overlooked
( when the President has made prominent
/ officers of civilians. These men have
/ worked hard in the National Guard and

| Republican, has been regarded as an
| anti-Platt man That may account for

RIGHTS OF FREss BOATS.
Jamaican Authorities May Hold
They Are BeIgiGerents.

Jamaican Authorities May Hold
They Are ReIgiGerents.
Kingston, Jamaica, June 4-The gov
ernment here is much exercised over a
point that has arisen in connection
with the observance OF neutrality
1t has been stated that press dis
patch boats touching at the various
ports of the island have been carrying
not only press messages but also Of
fetal communications passing between
the American Government and the
commanders of the fleets in Cuban
waters.
It is contended in some quarters that
in many cases where they carry gov
ernment dispatches the press dispatch
boats should be regarded as tenders
to belligerent vessels and should only
be permitted to take on enough coal
to last them the nearest port in their
own country, and that they should not
be allowed to enter the same port twice
within three months.
The attorney general declines to give
an opinion on the new point in interna-
tional law herein involved. and a de-
cision by the imperial authorities has
been asked for by cable
Whatever the answer from the home
government, dispatch boats will be re-
garded as private vessels except in
specific cases, where it is proved they
are carrying official dispatches.
