First's Dlscouraglng Outlook.

The men of the First Rhode Island
Regiment, now at Camp Alger, Va,
seem to be passing their time principals
ly in getting their clothes soaked with
rain and i'm drying them again. for the
weather has been very unsettled for the
past few days. There are rumors on
every side that the regiment Is going
to Porto Rico but the officers do not
place any faith in such reports, and
tney do not hesitate to say that, owing
TO the regiments fitness for action, 1T
will be kept In camp until, the war Is
over. II is evident that only the COM
mands with a political pull have been
ordered to the front, and the Rhode
Island Regiment appears to have nc
such pull; at least, 1t is certainly not in
evidence.
In the meantime the men are doing
some hard work in drilling, and are
doing IL so well that they have been
complimented by the general commando
ing Maj. Barker and detail are at
work constructing rifle range on the
Lynch farm, and, perhaps. after having
done all the hard work, the Rhode ISL
and troops may be allowed to use the
range. IT is believed, however, that the
government win grab the range and
hand IL over to the brigade. DIR. Lynch
says that he will not allow the ground
to be used by any but the Rhode Island
troops, but this. OF course. would "cut
no ice" with the government.
The health of the camp Is very good.
the work Of the surgeons being confined
to attendance upon cases Of minor sick
ness, and, considering the treatment the
men have received at the hands of the
war department. they are very con-
tented. But under the surface there is
deep feeling, and even other regiments
claim that Rhode Island Is being
shamefully treated. Private Gilfillan OF

Filibustering.

The country understands in a general
way what a senatorial fflibuster is: that
members band together to defeat a meas
ure simply by talk. There is no pretense of
debate. There is no effort 10 impart in
formation. There is no encouragement to be
entertaining. All expected of a mamber of
the band is that he take the floor and talk
as long as possible. He may be dull re-
dUndant, Illogical, even incoherent in what
he says. It does not matter if only he con-
sumes time Language and lung power are
the qualities that best equip the fIibuster.
But one must be on the scene here to fully
appreciate such proceeding. In this talk
against annexation is exhibited the whole
sham 1t goes on day after day to empty
seats. 1t is often ths case that only the
stenographer is listening. The presiding
officer occupies himself with other matters.
Senators as rule keep to the cloak rooms
or their committee rooms. Nov and then
one comes into the chamber, but never to
listen to the speech in progress. He busies
himself at his desk for a moment auI then

Street Cars and the Right of Way,

A New York justice. in deciding recent
quietus upon the doctrine that cable and
other rapid transit cars traversing the city
have an exclusive right of way through the
streets. The case in point involved the
question of whether wagon could lawfully
be driven across street car tracks in front
of an approaching cable car. 1t was shown
that the wagon was upon the tracks ahead
of due diligence by the gripman. could have
been stopped In time to prevent the colls-
ion that formed the basis of the suit for
damages. The company claimed that the
car had the right of way and that the
wagon should have been held until the car
had cleared. The deciding justice held that
such a doctrine would tend to divide tha
city into practically impossible zones
bounded by rapid transit routes, the wagons
and pedestrians passing from one to an
other only at their own peril and without
right. Such theory, he believed, was un-
reasonable and the right of way was to be
held by the vehicle or person first arriving
al the point of crossing. This principle of
universal right of way may cause some les
sening OF the ultimate speed performances
of the straet cars, but 1t assuredly tends to
equalize more nearly the privileges of the
street users and 1t should in practice, IL
supported by the courts, operate to reduce
tks dangers Of the modern use of the thor
oughfare. Locally the problem Is as yet in

A Shocking Charge That Calls for
Prompt Investigation.
Frem the New York Herald.

tTem the New 1ofk Herald.
Mr.. W. r. Hearst, a conspicuous citizen
of New York. prints over his own sigma
ture the shocking charge that forty Span
ish prisoners of war were turned over by
our troops at Caney to the 6,,rh,ns who
proceeded to murder them.
This statement Mr.. Hearst publishes as
made to him at Siboney by one of his own
correspondents, a man named Laine al
ways alert to the demands of his neWspa-
per, but before that-before every other
consideration-he is a Cuban soldier"
Mr. Hearst says this gentleman found the
body of General Vara del Rey upon the
battlefield. and describes how "Laine
beamed the JOY he felt as he tapped his
camera and exclaimed, L have here a
photograph of him Just as the vultures
were flying from his body" This is the
same gentlemans statement about the al
legged murder of prisoners as personally
narrated by Mr. Hearst:
l found a Spanish prisoner and told him
to go to the blockhouse and tell those in
side that the Americans were about to fire
a dynamite gun at them and they had best
surrender. Forty of them came out and
the Americans kindly turned them over to
me for the Cubans. His eyes flashed.
And what did you do with them?" He
shifted contemptuously: I'VE cut their
heads off of course"
Such an appalling violation of the rules
of civilized warfare would seem incredible,
but being made in cold type by a citizen as
conspicuous as Mr. Hearst and on the au-
thority of q man in his own service whom
he vouches for as 'of generous and gra-
cious impulses" it calls for prompt investi-
upon our own gallant troops and the direct
charge of savagery against their Cuban al
lies are too horrible to be given broadca ST
to the world unchallenged.
