KILLED IN BATTLE.
Lieut.. Charles Morris smith Falls in
the Philippines

The first news received Of Second Lieut.
Charles Morris Smith, of Washington, since
his arrival in the Philippines was his death,
an account Of which was cabed to the War
Department by General Otis yesterday The
news Of Lieutenant Smiths death was a
great shock to his sister, Mrs Charles NJ
Towson, Of 1913 Riggs Street northwest
and his brother, Lewis Smith, of the South
ern Railway Company. They had received
letter from him written at Honolulu tell
ing them that he was well and strong and
anxious to join the fghng in the Philip
pines. They were expecting letter from
him daily telling Of his arrival at Manila,
and when messenger from the War De-
partment called at the ToWsOn home yes
terday with the news Of his death, Mrs.
Towson was completely prostrated.
Lieutenant Smith was killed in almost
his first engagement. He arrived at Ma
Mia about November 10, and met death at
the head Of his company Of the Eighteenth
Infantry at Iloilo November %.
Lieutenant Smith was born in Washing
ton tweuty-one years ago. His father was
John Amber Smith, who represented the
Richmond, Va, district in Congress, and
afteTward removed to Washington. His
mother was a daughter Of the late John +.
Lewis, at one time United States Senator
from Virginia. The elder Smith died when
his son was about fourteen years old and
the boy only received a public school educa-
tion. He secured a position with the South
ern Railway Company and by hard work
rose to a responsible clerkship. He studied
out Of Office hours and acquired a splendid
education.
When war was declared with Spain, Lieu
tenant Smith and his brother Lewis served
as privates with the District OF Columbia
Volunteers in Cuba. They both contract
ed fever and for months after their return
home were critically Ill. Lewis Smiths
health prevented his again entering the
Army. but Morris stood a competitive ex-
animation at Fort Monroe for an appoint
ment in the Regular Army. His general
average was 9S.9 per cent and 100 in mathe-
mates, which is said 10 be the best average
ever made by a civilian appointee.
He received his commission July /, 1899
and from August 16 10 September was at
Columbus. Ohio, barracks. He was at San
! Francisco. Cal, until October 5, when he
/ sailed for the Philippines. Lieutenant
| Smith had a wide circle Of friends in Wash
| ington, he and his brother Lewis being al
most iuseparable and known by many as
! the Smith twins. though Lewis was the
elder He has another brother in Texas.
Mrs ToRson and Lewis Smith are max
! ing ARRANGEMENTS to have the body brought
home from the Philippines by the first
| transport.

Secretary Root Directs Another
Herring in Pension Claim.
Responding to an application from Rep
resentative Alexander, Of Buffalo Secretary
Root has consented to reopen the pension
claims OF the widow of John Schamburger
late of Company II, Twelfth New York
Cavalry. The case derives its interest from
the fact that there are twenty other
cases Of the same kind, and the Schambur-
ger case is TO be used as a test.
John SchamburgeT and his twenty y-nine
comrades in the war Of the rebellion were
convicted OF melting mutiny and sen
fenced to be dishonorably discharged from
the army and imprisoned for one year
While they were in prison President John
son remittted this sentence and they were
released. After Schamburgers death in
1892, his widow received pension but in
1897, she was dropped from the roll on
the ground that her husband had been dis
hOnCrably discharged The widow recent
ly discovered papers, however, showing
that the soldier was pardoned and honor
ably discharged. The records of the War
Department, are now being carefully ex-
amined to determine the point in ques-
tiOn.

TO SAIL IN SOUTHERN WATERS.
North Atlantic Squadron to Go on "A
Winter Cruise.


Rear Admiral Norman H. Farquhar, the
coTnmander-in-chief of the North Atlantic
naval station. had a personal interview
with Secretary Long yesterday in regard
to d winter cruise for his squadron, the
famous collection Of vessels which was the
nucleus Of the victorious naval force that
operated in the West Indies during the
war with Spain. It had not been in
tended that there should be winter cruise
Of the squadron on account Of the reduc-
tion Of the number Of ships available
through sending the Oregon and Brooklyn
to Manila and the Iowa to the Pacific
Coast, and the withdrawal of the Indiana
from service for repairs II is now proba-
BILE that the Massachusetts will be sent TO
a navy yard for repairs also, thus reducing
the number Of armored ships in the squad
ron TO two, the armored cruiser New York,
Admiral FarquhaI S flagship, and the sec
ond class batLeship Texas
Admiral Farquhar explained to the Sec
retary that it had been customary for the
squadron to proceed to the West Indies
in the winter season and the opportuni-
ties for drill during that period were better
in semi tropical waters than on the At
lantic Coast of the United States.
Secretary Long granted the admirals
request. The squadron that viii go to the
West Indies in the coming winter will be
very small, consisting of only the New
York. the Texas, the cruiser Detroit, and
he gunboat Machias. 1t has been GUS
tomary for this squadron to go as far
south as La Guayra, Venezuela, and Ad-
miral Farquhar viii probably follow that
practice.

1t is impossible to get any accurate

upon them as bad risks because of their

the great mortality among them
The mortality in infancy, as compared
with the whites, is simply frightful. The
