GEN. WOOD TELLS WHY
It Will Be Necessary to Keep $4,000
Men in Cuba.

Washington, Jan. 20.-General Leon
ard Wood told the senate committee on
military affairs that his estimate OF
$4,000 soldieS as necessary TO be kept
in Cuba, was so large because the
climate caused so much ma1arial and
other sickness that not over 35 to "A
per cent of the force may be capa bic
Of effectual aggressive action. Half his
present force was not now fit for effec-
tive service. In the Cuban army 60 per
cent frequently were disabled
It was as yet too early to say wheth-
er oar troops in the island would be
come so accIimated that they would be
able to resist disease. This was an i'm
portant point, and if decided in the
negative would require change of
troops. He was hopeful that by an
elaborate system of sanitation in the
island improved conditions might be
secured, just as Great Britain had pro-
duced an Improvement in Jamaica. Still
it might prove as il had in India, that
Cuba was not a white mans country.
A year or two at least would be neees-
sary to decide this problem
Replying to a question from Senator
Proctor, General Wood said that it was
feasible to construct a railway line be-
tween Santiago and Havana and that
a Santiago firm had agreed to guaran-
tee the funds for the enterprise.
He spoke at eonsidera bic length in
this connection in regard to the re-
be made the market garden OF the
world He thought that this govern
ment should grow there the vegetables
used by the army in Cuba and said he
meant to confer with the secretary of
agriculture in this connection.

THE KANSAS STATUTES.
What the Publishing Company Says
About Another Revision.

Mr.. John A KIeinhans, manager of
the Kansas Statute company, has this
to say about the proposed revision:
II think the current criticism of the
Revised Statutes unjust and unfair. 1t
is certainly a good scheme for book
publishers to try TO have a new pubHca-
ton Of the statutes, but are the law
yers and tax payers asking for it?
The sale of the 1897 general statutes
is practically made, having sold 1000
sets at an expense of about S35, 900 to
the people of the state Everybody has
them, lawyers, bankers, merchants,
loan agents and farmers. It is a differ
ent story to pay IS for the laws of our
state. The price of the 1889 statutes
was so per set. The contract for the
publication for the general statutes of
Kansas, 1897, in two volumes, annota-
lature to the lowest bidder. The late
Judge w. c. Webb received the con-
tract at the price Of So. so per set which
is $1.20 per set less than the contract
price made for the 1889 statutes. The
saving to the state, on this contract let
by the legislature of 1897 for statutes
for use Of the state, was $4,000, and the
people have saved already on what they
have bought. $40, 600, a saving Of SIC, 900
net.
In regard to legalizing statutes au-
thorized for publication, it is only a
pretence. In 1891 a law was passed to
legaliZe the 1889 statute, though il re-
ceived only sixty-two votes on final
passage in the house.
My idea or revision is, when the pro-
per time comes, to let the Legislature
appoint commission to revise and
compile the law and make their report
to the legislature for adoption. This is
how we got the general statutes of 1863,
and they have proven atisfactory.T Then
another suggestion. the state should do
the printing, which 1 believe, If ever
the question comes before the supreme
court for decision. they would declare
printing of statutes is public printing
and must be done by the state printer.
The state should be benefited blythe profit
derived from the sale of the statutes.
which would buy a printing plant every
time a compilation is needed We get
many compliments on the new statutes.
but I DON'T suppose that man lives that
could compile the statutes and please
every one.
THE fact that nearly every law Office
in Kansas, over half of the banks and
people in general have purchased these
stateutes, and the state of Kansas ex-
pended about SIS, 600 to supply its public
officers are facts in themselves sufficient
to prove that the work is not worthless
or in no demand.
81 may be prejudiced, but think this
movement for a new revision is of more
interest to law book publishers than to
the tax payers or to the lawyers"

NEWARK TO GO WEST.
Will Sail For the Pacific Station
Via Magellan Straits.

Washington, Jan. 20.-It was stated
at the department of state today that
dispatches had been received from
United States Consul Osborn at Apia,
but as to their nature the officials had
nothing TO say beyond that they went
to confirm the news dispatches already
printed. Admiral Kautz, the command
er OF the Pacific station, Is now on
board his flagship, the Philadelphia, and
1t was stated at the navy department
that he would accompany the ship to
Samoa
Orders have been sent from the navy
department to have the cruiser Newark
prepared to start with dispatches from
the New York navy yard for the Pa
cific station via the straits of Magellan
The Newark is a powerfully protected
cruiser of about the same type and
power as the Philadelphia. whose place
she will take on the station, the Phila-
delphia going to Samoa. The latter YES
sci is now at San Diego. Cal. and Will
not be ordered north TO Mare island,
but to save time will take on a full sup
ply Of coal at San Diego and start at
once for Samoa.
WILL NEED A WEEK.
San Diego, Cal, Jan 2o.-"Under no
consideration" said Admiral Kautz to-
day, can I get away from here under
a weeks time for Samoa, but if we must
go will leave on orders for San Fran
cisco in a day or two If another snip
is secured we will probably remain here
about a week before going north.
Speaking of the trip. Admiral Kautz
said the most important item OF news
he had learned was the great desire
of the people OF Nicaragua and Costa
RIGA where he had called, for the
United States government to take hold
of and construct quickly the Nicaragua
canal under government control This,
he says, was universal and unanimous
among the people and merchants OF
both countries.

Don't Like the Ladies.

Some of the railroad ompsnies have
issued orders dischsrging the lady en-
ployes and replacing, them with men.
This is an undue reflection upon the
business qualities of the fair sex. Oh
course, there are very few lady clerks
or employees of the transportation COM
psnies who are working ,zealously for
the presidency or even for the general
managership, but there are many OF
them who are energetic and enterpris-
ing-and withsl, invaluable assistants
in their respective capacities. A
bright, charming young woman by the
name of Miss Sarah McAleiter. who
holds down the agency for the Port
Arthur Route at Ewing, Mo-, has not
only demonstrated her ability as COM
petent railway emp'oye, but also as a
heroine of unusual :; fortitude. One
