ENGINEERS OF THEIR CONDITION.
he National Railway Publication Company,
OF New-York, has issued a valuable pamphlet
in the shape of a railway guide for Cuba, which,
with the maps which form part of the publica-
ton. will be found valuable by travellers. The
time tables include schedules for the following
lines: Habana and Jovellanos. Habana and
Union. Guanajay Branch. Union and Alfonso
XII. Empalure and Robes. Guines and Robes
and Madruga Branch Habana and Batabano.

Branch. Matanzas Railroad, Cabezas Branch,
JaQuey Grande Branch and Cienfuegos and Villa
Clara Railway. 1t gives also q time table Of the
steamer line between Batabano and Santiago de
Cuba.
In carefully prepared article. which is
printed in connection with the timetables the
railway managers in Cuba are described as
"active intelligent and very courteous gentle
men. Their business is transacted with
promptness that leaves nothing to be desired.
and compares favorably with the methods Of
railway managers in the United States or any
other country" The roads fenced in with
cactus hedges and stone walls, and the roads
are laid with steel rails from so to 60 pounds
to the yard The passenger trains are provided
with air brakes, and the baggage-cars are small,
but have permanent tops and not the tarpaulin
covers employed In European goods trains.
The European methods are followed in the mat
ter Of baggage, which Is weighed and meas
ured and the amount charged is collected and
a receipt given. An ordinary trunk costs 81 ~

though the classes are occasionally divided py
partitions in the same car. The conductor Is
called the chief Of train" and wears no uni

The resignation of Secretary Of War
Algerwill relieve thewhole country, for
1t Is accepted. Without regard to the
question OF justice or Injustice involved
IN the attacks that have been made
upon General Alger during his connec-
ton with the war department, and the
unfortunate lack of harmony between
himself and army officers, his retire
ment will put an end to a situation
which has been such source Of dis
afectlon. This will AFFORD relief to the
secretary and his friends and associates
in the cabinet, and bring a stop to the
continuous publication Of exasgera'
lions, and many bsseless charges, that
are intended for partisan effect rather
than as strict regard for fairness.
Secretary Alger will retire at an early
day possibly when his successor is
named and is ready to qualify. For
some days past General Miles has been
acting as secretary OF war, and mat
ters seem to have been running smooth.
IT may be that his hand is in the extra
Inducements that are being offered to
expedite the recruitment of the ten vol
unteer regiments. as announced in the
Washington dispatches this morning.
one Of the policies Is that, about all
the commissions having been issued
applicants have been advised to enter
the ranks. and in tina: way IT may be
possible to secure commissions, as the
intention is to fill vacancies among
commissioned officers from the ranks.
A large number OF these applicants
have already enlisted on these condi-
lions.
There are several cases of men who
are qualified for commissions, each fur
nlshIng forty men who can pass mus
ter, on condition that they receive com
missions, and in one case Texas OH
Ger states he win guarantee all the men
wanted from his state. This is prae-
teal way OF raising troops rapidly.

The Flsrsbusgh Times calls attention
to the fact that from time lmmemor-
Iai the commander OF an army and the
newspaper correspondents accompany
ing It have differed Us TO what should
be sent TO the papers. During the civil
war some now noted newspaper men
got into the guard house for this rea-
son. while the commanders whom they
denounced As failures are now among
the most honored Of American soldiers.
Even Grant and Sherman were 50 de-
nounced, and It is not forgotten that
national party convention in 1854 de-
nounced the war as a failure. reflected
on the administration of Lincoln, and
demanded its abandonment
Itis also recalled by some how the
censorship was enforced in the war
which resulted in the preservation of
the republic. A New York contempor-
airy suggests that the correspondents at
Manila should congratulate themselves
that they were not in Kentucky with
Sherman. In the soudan with Kitchen

manders. does not eonfne itself to the
leading fact laid down by the so-called

,ninistrntion at Washington feared TO
trust the American people with the
truth about the Philippine situation,
and consequently fed them with false

No such accusation is in the message
of the correspondents. Their charge
was that official dispatches from Mani
