SNOW STORM COMING.

A snow storm will in all probability strike New Haven this morning. Just how long the snow will continue to fall cannot be said because the chances are that it will turn into rain before noon today, as the indications are for warm CT weather. The storm originated in Georgia and is coming up along the coast. It rained in Georgia, hailed in Virginia, and was showing in Maryland. It will begin showing here at any rate. but the weather for the succeeding days will be much warmer with considerable cloudiness and rather muggy. It will be genuine old fashioned grip weather.

TO-NIGHT'S POLO.
New Haven Will Play Hartford

New Haven Will Play Hartford-A
 Good Game Looked For.
 The ever popular Hartford polo team with Tom Cotter at it's head will be at Bowling hall tonight to oppose the boys in Blue. Hartford never fails to draw a crowded house, and the fans never go away from a Hartford New Haven game dissa tisfied, for the reason that both teams always play scientific polo and all the games are as a rule closely contested. The Blues are now in fairly good form and spirits, and ought to give good account of them- selves tonight.

FUTURE OF THE REENA MERCEDES.
Congress May Have to Decide What
to Do with Her.

The members IF the board of naval bu-
reau chiefs who will be called upon to de-
eide TO the nature of the repairs and
changes to be made upon the captured
Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes now at the
Norfolk navy yard, are somewhat divided
in opinion, and it may be that the cruiser
will be tied up a the dock at Norfolk and
left there to await the pleasure of Congress
at the next session.
The Mercedes, though a good enough
cruiser of her kind. by no means represents
the latest ideas in naval construction. she
is about similar in type to the Newark OF
would not think for moment of building
another Newark at this date. If it is de
cided to refit the Mercedes as a man-of-
war, it will be necessary to supply her with
a new battery, for the guns she carried
We're of different calibers from the stand
ards now in use in the navy, and it will not
be eXpedlent TO attempt to maintain a spe-
cal supply of ammunition for her benefit 4
conservative estimate, which, of course, may
he considerably qualified by the report of the
inspection board, places the cost of reftting
the Mercedes so as to entitle her to a place
on the naval lists at about quarter of a
million dollars, which would be about -
per cent of her value. The naval bureaus
are scarcely disposed to expend so much of
their indefinite appropriations for this pur-
pose, and that is one reason why the propo-
sition to let the matter await the action of
Congress finds support.

WILLING But INCAPABLE.
Col. Philip Reade Criticises the Men
of the Sth Infantry Recruits.

Col. Philip Reade inspector general has
made a report of the condition of the Sth
Infantry and other troops in Cuba, show
ing poor state of efficiency. He says in
part:
with the passing and discharge of old
time soldiers, there also passes the old-time
discipline, which formerly could be relied
upon in any emergency. l doubt If any
foot regiment, composed as the army will
be in TWO months from now, could live con-
tentedIy for two days from haversacks or
ten days from wagons. In order to make
the army representative of the nation, re-
cruiting officers should be instructed to eIe-
vate the type and standard by enlisting
only men of special qualifications or mill
tary experience. A considerable proportion
of our citizens are now habituated to ham
ding firearms, and are possessed of some
experience in field service. Some enthusi-
aSm for soldering prevails; small army
is recruited up nearly to the limit. The
faithfuIness and discernment of our re-
cruiting officers can now be measured by
the character and abilities of the recruits
sent to the regiments.
Men come and go; short periods of en-
listment and the facility with which dis
charges are now obtained have operated to
change the standard of effectiveness. The
wartime connections are severed and the
regiment will lose not only its military
identification, but also its effectiveness, un-
less the mass is leaVened by the assignment
of veterans. If reasons of location or eli
mate are advanced as cause why target
practice cannot be had here, it is submit
ted that such be required to be had at Co
iUmbuS barracks or some recruiting depot
of concentration before sending recruits to
this department. Better yet would he the
effect of instructions from the War De-
partment to all recruiting officers to spe-
cially enlist for the organizations serving
within the limits of this department former
soldiers of known qualifications. and none
drill with occasionally and not to shoot
with is an object of ridicule. but not of
laughter: the lack of ability is too serious
a matter to be laughed at. On the battle
field OF the future the soldier who has not
received the marksman's training will be as
useless as woman.
Having no space within which to ma
neuVer, this regiment of recruits has not
been able to have extended order drills
The majority of the men now in ranks do
not know the names of their equipments:
who is in charge of it: do not know the
condition of their clothing accounts: do not
know what the soldiers handbook mparts;
do not know the component parts of the ra-
ton; do not know how properly to care for
their own equipments: are not inabued with
the spirit of military traditions: do not
know the extent of their own ignorance
upon matters considered elementary a year
ago. The men are willing enough, but
being willing is hardly being ready,'

II wish to call your attention again to the
outrageous treatment we United States
prisoners are receiving at the hands of the
brutal state officials. We have solicited aid
from the Department of Justice but have
received no assistance. Yet Major Strong
of the department came here, examined the
prisoners and found that they had been
brutally treated. and promised to do some
thing for us. Yesterday a poor deformed
prisoner was taken and struck twelve
laSheS on his bare back because he could
not do a strong mans work. After he had
been whipped he told the officers he was
going 70 report the matter to the Attorney
General. He was then taken and struci,
ten more blows, and when taken down was
unable to stand. He was then told bv the
warden that unless he did the work assign
ed MIN he would be dealt with in a severer
way, and that they We're going to treat the
prisoners as they pleased as long as the
government kept them here; that they
need not expect any assistance from the
Department of Justice, because they were
not running the penitentiary. As a result
OF this inhuman treatment two prisoners
who had been recently tiogged, ran awav

AN CNFOUNDED CRITICISM.
The Alleged Want of Stability in
Some of Our Gunbonts.

After the adverse criticism to which our
naval designers Were obliged to submit
some years ago, because of a supposed lack
of stability on the part of some of our
gunboats. they have been gratiied to as
certain from personal inspection that the
standards in foreign navies are far below
our own In this matter. A careful compu-
tation of the qualities of some of the war
ships purchased just prior to the outbreak
of the Spanish war has shown that the
center of gravity is considerably higher
than in the case of what We're believed 10
be the most faulty of the American built
ships. Yet these foreign-huilt vessels be-
haved very well in active service during
forms.
