The men who were in the United
States navy during the civil war have,
had, ever since the Grand Army was
organized, ga friendly grievance. Az
though practically all of them are
members of that order, yet they have
grieved at every national encampment
because, as they claimed, sufficient
honor was not paid to the great naval
heroes, in Comparison with those of
the army. There would be a dozen
pictures Of Grant, Sherman, Sheridan.
and other generals exhibited to one of
Farragut, Porter or S. P. Lee, and.
people seemed to have forgotten that
Winslow or Gushing ever existed.
The navy men, some years ago, organ
lied a body known as ''The National
Association of Naval Veterans, . which
has since met by delegate representa-
tion at the same time and place as the
national Grand Army encampment.
Among its Chief objects were the
transaction of business pertaining to
the welfare of ex-men-of- -wars-men,
and to cherish the memory of their
old commanders and the other naval
heroes OF the civil war. The boys felt
that the navy, having been compare
lively few in numbers, was overshad-
owed at the encampments by the land
branches of the service, and the old
fellows were sad thereat. But the
Spanish war has changed all this, and
the boys are happy. There is a local
society Of the national association in
the Twin Cities, with members scat
tered through the northwest, and the
newspapers say that it has manifested
renewed yigor since the navy came to
the front so grandly in the last war.
And they rejoice in the fact that the
great Dewey now outranks any man
in the army, for at present the army
has no officer who ranks as high as an
admiral; Grant, Sherman and Sheri-
dan being the only civil-war command
ers who held rank with that which
Dewey now holds. And sthe boys
who in their youth manned !" the
wooden walls OF the Kearsarge and
the Hartford, the Lexington and the
Tyler, rejoice that the time has come
when the Yankee navy is being prop
erly appreciated, orthey have always
believed that it was 1.-THE best on
earth"

THERE is little change since last
week to report in the conditions pre-
vailing In the Philippine Islands.
Some time ago delegation Of promi-
nent natives residing on the island of
Negros appeared at Manila and asked
Gen. Otis to send force to take pos
session Of that island, stating that the
inhabitants thereof were practically a
unit IN friendliness for the Americans.
They also asserted that, without op-
position, they had raised the United
States flag over the public buildings
Of their capital city. Gen. Otis sent a
force as requested, the delegation of
Negritos accompanying the expedi:
tion. On reaching the island the
Americans found that the sNegritos
had told the truth. The Stars and
Stripes were floating, as had been
stated, and the Yankee troops took
peaceable possession Of the island in
the name of the United States. AT
Manila our forces have been increased
by the arrival of Maj. Lawton
and about 1900 regulars. Gen. Law.
ton will assume command of the army
in the Philippines, Gen. Otis acting as
governor. Five or six Thousand addi.
tional regulars will soon reach Manila
1t Is the intention to then begin a
vigorous campaign inland, with the
capture Of Malalos, the insurgent cap
ital, as leading object. The capture
of Aguinaldo is also said to be greatly
desired by the administration, as it is
believed in Washington that the
young Filipino general is the back
bone of the rebellion, and that IL h.
should be captured his troops would
soon disperse. At present the insur
gents are engaged in throwing vi
earth-works, SO as to be prepared t.
resist the forward movement Of tn
Americans.

A KING DEPOSED.
Ruler of Toad-a-Loup Is No Longer a
Captain in the Kansas
Army.

TOPEKA, June T.-(SpeciaD William
Miller. king of Toad-a-Loup.' a tough
subdivision of Kansas City, Kas.. is no
longer a captain in the army. He was de-
posed by the state military board to-day
and his company was disorganiZed. Just
before the Leedy administration went out
of power it reorganiZed the national guard.
One of the companies was located in Toad
a-Loup and Miller was commissioned as
captain. Miller is about So years old,
weighs 2I5 pounds and runs joint. He
acquired the title of king of Toad-a-
Loup' because he dictated the politics of
that locality.
Miller's company was not organized In
accordance with military rules and has not
the required number of privates. There
are more officers than privates. The new
board to-day decided to disorganize the
company and depose Miller as captain. The
new regulations require commissioned OFF,
GERS to take physical examination.
Miller could not pass it under any cir
cumstances
Three other companies were also dis
banded by the board to-day. They are To-
towns are not large enough to maintain

KANSAS COUNTY SUED.
Bondholder Asks Supreme Court to
Aid Him in Collecting
Judgment,

TOPEKA, June T.-(Special) Edgar NJ.
Wood filed mandamus proceedings in the
supreme court to-day to compel the COM
missioners of Haskell county to equalize
the taxes of that county. He claims that
if this is done enough revenue will be
raised to pay judgment of 5000 which
he holds against the county.
Several years ago the plaintiff obtained
Haskell county bonds upon which the In
terest has been defaulted. Warrants were
issued to him, but the county has always
refused TO pay them. The county COM
missioners have claimed that the county
had no money to pay this debt and declined
to make levy for this purpose.
In 1886 MIR. Wood obtained judgment
district court of Haskell county. The debt
was ordered paid, but the commissioners
claimed they had no money and he has
been deprived of any sort OF revenue upon
the outstanding account.
The plaintiff then went before the board
of county commissioners, sitting as q
board of equalization, and requested that
the commissioners equalize the assessment
of the county, assuring them that such
action would raise sufficient money to pay
him. This the commissioners refused to do,
and now Mr.. Wood asks for a writ of
mandamus to compel them to do so.
The petition sets out the fact that the
commissioners should equaliZe the assess
ment because the assessors assessed real
estate at three times its actual value and
levied on live stock at one-fourth actual
value.
Under this system Mr.. Wood claims that
no money is brought into the county treas
ury He says that just system of val
uation would raise revenue to pay the
debt the county owes him.
