the vicinity of San Pedro Macati, all was
for an occasional volley and some indi-
Vidual firing by the rebels from the jun
gle near Caloocan, along the river and in
Manila. Feb 21.--11:55 a. m.-Except
quiet along the entire line last night. The
enemy's sharpshooters at Caloocan con-
tinue to annoy the soldiers in the day
time but the Americans no longer pay
much attention to them, reservng their
fire until the rebels appear in the open
in sufficient force as to justify a volley.
During the night time the men are accus-
toned to the enemy's salutes and a ma
jority of them remain undisturbed, Sc
cured by the outposts and sentries.
In Manila absolute quiet prevails, the
streets are deserted and the only sounds
to be heard after o'clock in the evening
are the tramp Of the patrols and sentries
and the occasional canter of hoofs of an
officers horse.
The insurance companies, after a con-
ference, have decided to accept war risks
at an additional premium of 5la per cent
per month.

OF THE CANALS

Washington Feb. 27.-Chairman Burton
stated after the meeting of the river and
harbor committee that the sentiment of
the country favored the Nicaragua canal
amendment and favored government con-
struction of both the Panama and Mic

engineers of routes, cost, etc, acquiring
by the president of the right of way and
for an Appropriation of 81 100000 for sur
veys. The express provision is made that
''in no case shall any obligation be incur
red nor money paid to any company or
individual for rights" This would be
proposed as a substitute for the senate

DE ROULEDE is
PROBABLY CRAZY

New York, Feb. PA dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says: There is only one
man in France who takes Paul de ROu-
lede's escapade tragically and that is de
Roulede himself. He is anxious for a sem
satonal trial with a heavy sentence that
will crown him with the martyrs halo
for his followers. He accordingly is do
ing all he can to eXaggerate his offense,
by declaring orally TO the officials his de-
sign to overthrow the republic and writ
ing letters to the same effect. Nobody
else, however, looks upon him as anything
but lunatic. AS journalist here said,
the worst punishment that could be given
him would be to sentence him to be con-
fined as non compos mentis and one is
compelled to admit that this would be
making the punishment fit the crime.

A Witness Who Was Sick After
Eating It.
THE FOOD ON TRANSPORTS
Another Officer Who Was Instrument
al in Getting "rravellng Ra-
tiOns" in the Army.

Washington, Feb 27.-When the army
ness was Lieutenant Charles F. Dwyer,
Ninth infantry. This witness had only
a vague memory of what the meat COM
piement of ration was on the voyage
from Tampa to Santiago He knew after
the command landed the mon had bacon,
corned beef and canned roast beef.
There were numerous complaints as to
the canned roast beef, but there was no
official action taken on these complaints,
as it was difficult to get anything in the
way of rations to the front, and the army
felt the commissary department was do
ing the best it could
After the capture of Santiago the wit
ness was stationed altogether in the city
and his command, getting refrigerator
beef early in the day, it was always
fresh and good, and he heard no COM
plants as to it's quality. The witness
had been made sick on one occasion by
eating canned roast beef stew, but other
wise his health had not suffered.
Brigadier General Robert ID. McFelley,
retired, commssary general of subsst-
ence from 1875 to $780, testified that dur
ing his service he had recommended the
introduction of a regular travel ration,
with a view of bettering the condition of
the soldiers. Prior to that the men often
had suffered on long trips in trying to
live for several days on what was known
as the cooked ration" which usually
consisted of bread and meat, without
even coffee. Colonel Davis read the
record referring to these orders dating
back to 1878, and showing that canned
fresh beef was included as a part of the
travel ratiOns.

During the Indian campaigns in Tex

war with Spain it was not a matter Of
surprise to knowing ones that he was
appointed major general of volun-

this been promoted to the rank Of
brigadier general.
The particulars of his campaign in
Cuba and the taking OF Santiago are
of such recent date and are so we'll
known that they need scarcely to be
