The first charge is "scandalous con-
duct tending To the destruction Of good
morals There are three specifications
under the charge, in brief that he re-
ferred to Admiral Sampson as report
ing himself within four miles Of the
Colon when she struck her colors in order
to get his share of prize money; second,
he charged that in the chase after the
Colon the Oregon met the Iowa, going
to the rear, and that lighting Bob" took
the Iowa to the rear and kept her there
during the battle: third, that eastern
made ships failed to come up to expecta-
tons because the builders got their Or
ders through political pull and did not
care how much they cheated the govern
ment." The second recites three speci-
fications of the first charge with an ad-
ditional one based on the chaplain's
"public and cOntemptuous" reference to
Captain Evars as fighting Bob" The
third charge is conduct unbecoming an
officer of the navy" and recites the same
specifications.

BATTLE WITH TRAMPS.
Conductor Griffith Defends His
Train With Stone.

Three tramps, an old man and two
boys, riding on the blind baggage end
of the Union Pacific plug. We're put off
the train a short distance west of Man
haitian last night, and the youngest
whipped out a revolver and fired at the
porter w. S. Parks, a colored man.
The bullet crashed into the car with
in two feet of the colored mans head,
lodging in the corner near the flag hold
er.
Conductor Griffith was standing on
the ground on the side of the train and
watching the men get down in obedi-
ence to the orders of the porter, who
was urging them as much as possible,
but made no effort to enforce his or
ders by violence or pushing the
tramps.
Mr.. Griffith, while standing by the
steps, waiting for the men to get down,
had observed a spike and a large rock
lying close to the end of the tie. When
the shot was fired the negro jumped off
Griffith dropped his lantern and seized
the rock and spike. The spike was first
thrown and missed, but the rock was
hurled with terrific force towards the
three men.
The conductor could see only the out
line of the forms in the darkness, but
he let the rock fly in the direction in
which he supposed the boy with the
pistol might be found, and he was not
mistaken.
oh" yelled the boy, who tried to
gather himself up. having been knock
ed down by the stone. "Pn kill you
now.'
But he was mistaken. The revolver
escaped his hands when the stone
struck his body and couId not be found
AS soon as the three could get in mo-
ton over the fence they went and dis
appeared over a small embankment
abutting the river
The train then pulled out and Mr.
Griffith is so modest that he declares
nothing happened, but the fact remains
that he made a bold stand against the
invaders and succeeded in routing them
completely.
These facts are corroborated by the
porter himself, who said to a Journal
reporter today:

Senator Julius c. BUrrows of Michigan.
in signed statement in the World,
says:
4 am profoundly impressed with the
belief that in our relations with Spain
a crisis is near at hand; in a very few
days the government will receive the
report of the court of inquiry; that the
Maine was destroyed by the explosion
of a Spanish mine or a torpedo.
If the court makes the report I an
ticipate it will, then will come the tug
of war
What is the situation with which the
country is confronted?
"A vessel of the United States gov
ernment lies at anchor in the port of
a friendly power in the exact spot fixed
by that power, and that vessel is on a
peaceful mission. She is destroyed.
THE question of ports does not enter
into the discussion of responsibility.
Spain was as much bound to protect the
Maine and her crew from harm In the
port of Havana as if she had been an
chored at her own immediate door. l
care not whether the explosion was
produced by or through the connivance
of a Spaniard or Cuban, Spain'S respOn-
sibility for the deed is not lessened
thereby.
Suppose that the president of the
United States had visited Spain on a
friendly mission and was a guest or
the queen regent, and during the night
was murdered by some member of the
queens household, or by some fanatica1
Spaniard not connected with the
queens household, would not this gov
ernment have the right to hold Spain
responsible for the deed? contend
that it would.
Therefore it is that say that in our
relations with Spain, we are approach
ing a crisis, the solution and settlement
of which congress alone must deter
mine. The country expects congress to
do its duty in the premises and that
the president will do his. Neither can
shift the responsibility of the hour up
on the other.
ANY proposition of congress to shirk
responsibility or repOse special powers
upon the president to meet emergen-
cies as they arise, will be resented by
the people.
Congress must not only remain in
session until it knows all the facts con-
nected with the loss of the Maine, but
must not adjourn until it has settled,
and, settled right, all the other ques-
tions that are pressing for a speedy So
lutiOn.'

Washington, March Unsurpassed
excitement prevailed in all circles in
Washington today when it was learned
that the government will at once en-
large the army to 100000 men.
The bill has been prepared for the
placing of the army on a war footing
for the full strength of 10000 men. The
bill has been carefully gone over by the
war department and will be introduced
in the house, by Representative Hull,
chairman of the house committee on
military affairs, who it is expected will
urge It vigorously inasmuch as it is
an administration measure.
The basis for the bill, will be the
well known three battalion organiza-
tions. That is the ideal peace status
of the army, but provision is made for
the exercise by the president of full
power to increase each one of the ex-
isting companies from 75 men, the pres
ent strength to 250 men.
In view of the possibility of a con-
hict with Spain considerable interest
centerS just now in the strength of the
militia force of the United States which
would be liable to be called upon in
case of necessity
The aggregate strength of force in
each state is yearly reported to the ad-
Jutant general of the army who in turn
transmits it to congress for the infor-
nation of that body. An annual ap-
preparation is made by congress for the
support and maintenance of the militia
and is allotted among the states accord
ing TO the numerical strength of the
militia Of each. The latest report to
congress on the militia strength was
made to congress by Acting Secretary
of War MeikeljOhn and was based on
returns received at the adjutant gen
erals office for 1897.
This statement shows that the total
organized military strength of the Uni
ted States is ia, ,362 men, while the num-
Der of men available for military duty
(unorganized) of which a report was
made. at the time that the statement
OF the militia was sent in, is 10, ,301, ,339.
