dividunl IS said to revolt from another

repeatedly. TO approve the recommenda-

What Or. La Garde thought of this high

himself But by and by General Otis was
called away from the post on business.
Then the surgeon began operations on his
own account He got authority to con-
strrct the baths. and they were put in with
all possible speed. to the jcy of the SOL

checked twice as quickly in clean reg

Otis returned the military atmosphere was
considerably sweeter. and the surgeon was
placid in the consciousness CT duty well

Then there was a time! General Otis
ragged. He said things about the surgeon.
He spent-a considerable time in expressing
his disapproyal CT the whole proceeding,
lock, stock. and barrel But it is not
known that his diatribes were received
with much concern by anyone. There was
nothing he could do in the matter, how
ever. except to forbid the soldiers to use
the baths. and as he probably did moi wish

VINO were held up and stopped with rifses
IN the hands Of the; Indians. Mr. Strpna-
nan called council OF the discouten,ea
members OF the tribe. He explained the
rlsats granted TO the railroad company by
Congress and the rights stin remaining to
tne indians. He told them that the rail-
read company had given bonds for the right
OF way across their lands, subject only IL,
the payment OF a fair compens1Ao1k u for the
same which sum might be reached by an
agreement with the company or by an ad-
justment OF the damage in the courts The
Indians threatened to use force II necessary
to keep the railroad graders from their
lands. Mr.. Stranahan told them his duty
was clear and that he would proceed to
take down their fences In order to allow
the railroad to proceed. One Indian, a
leader, declared he would give his life ii
necessary to defend his property and told
the agent that he would meet him at the
fence with his rifle in his hand Mr.. Stran.
ahan explained that even II it cost the
Government an agent or two. in the end
the will of the Government would prevail.
and the right of way would be main
tanned. Better counsel prevailed, and
the Indians asked for further time A
private council was held and the result ex-
pressed to the agent The Indians stated
their protest and named the damages they
will expect if the railroad proceeds. They
agree, however. to let the graders go on
with their work and the matter is. for the
time being, settled, but further trouble is
likely 10 occur at any time. as some rene.
gade Indians are bent on causing mis-

a story Of General Otis which has
developed within the last few days throws
peculiar light on his character. It comes
from an officer who happened to be on duty
once at military post where Otis was In
command. 1t seems that the surgeon of
the garrison. DR.. La Garde, recommended
that the troops be furnished with bathing
facilities. And there was trouble.
Dr. La Garde is an officer OF distinction
and unquestioned ability, as hundreds of
men who served in the Cuban expedition
have reason to know. Whatever lack Of
method or efficiency there may have been
in the hospital service during the Santiago
campaign, all authorities agree that this
officer was uatiring in his toll and skillful
in his ministratiohs. II Is not necessary.

The interest and welfare Of the plain soldier,

Commanding the Army, ought to have, under
