Right Direction-Iudu ustrial Situation
on the Island Steadily Improving.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-General Fitz-

the people of Cuba are steadily improv-
ing under the existing protectorate of
the United States and are slowly but
surely rebuilding their war-wasted
homes and repairing their crippled for
tunes. Life and property are secure in
Cuba, owing largely, he said, to the
salutary restraint exercised by Amer

time not ripe yet, however, for purely
cuban government.
"Cuba," said General Lee, sis i'm.
proving. The Cubans are tractable and
quiet and the revolution has given them
self-respect and self-reliance. Their
impulses are generally in the right di-
rection, but of course
Both in Theory and Practice
Of self-government they are wholly
without experience. There is among
certain Cubans deep-seated prejudice
against some men whom they think op.
pressed Cubans under Spanish rule, and
if given free rein they would make
short work of them. The United States
government is pledged to grant indie
pendence to Cuba after the island has
been pacified and believe that promise
should be fulfilled as swiftly as we can
in reason and justice. The industrial
situation is improving and money is
gradually going into Cuba, but nothing
like it would if investors were sure
that property would remain safe for
years to come and lie protected by
government strong enough to enforce

Heavy Loss Of Omcers Embarrassing to

LONDON, Oct. 30.-The large number
of British officers killed in the battles
which have already taken place in Ma
tai has brought out strenuous protests
from many quarters against the ancient
custom of British officers in refusing to
take cover when under fire. From fig
ures at Glencoe, it is apparent that one
out of every four men killed was an Of

upon the principle that to every 25 men
there is one officer. 1t is evident that
if the same ratio of mortality is kept
up, the British forces will become Sc.
riously under-ofhcered. Among the en-
listed men at Glencoe, the proportion
of killed to wounded was 80 to 1866,
while 10 officers were killed to % Off

percentage leads to the conclusion that

Mr.. CAGES ANNUAL.

Favors Enactment Of the Gold Standard
and n More Elastic Currency.
NEW YORK, Nov. IA special to
The Herald from Washington says:
Enactment of the gold standard into
law and reform of the banking cur
rency laws so as to give the country a
more elastic bank note currency, will
be the leading recommendations of
Secretary Cages annual report
When the secretary went before the
banking and currency committee of the
house of representatives early in the
present month and declared for the
enactment of the gold standard into
law he startled many of his party asso-
ciates. He stood his ground, however,
and has had the satisfaction of seeing
the rank and file of his party. with some
exceptions, come up to the standard
which he has planted.
In the same way the secretary will
now take advanced ground in favor of
bank reform and system of banking
which will allow banks to issue their
own notes to meet extraordinary de.
mands for currency.
He will recommend the enactment of
law pro:iding for the issue of notes
against deposits of bonds, and green
backs, treasury notes or silver certifi-
Gates, and allowing the banks to issue
additional notes against their assets.
The details of the plan will be princi-
pally the same as those he recommend
ed in his first annual report in 1897.

His Engagement to the Widow Of Gen.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. - Admiral
Dewey has announced to some of his
more intimate friends the fact of his
engagement to Mrs. w. B. Hazen of
this city. Mrs. Hazen is the widow of
General Hazen, formerly chief signal
officer of the army, who died about 10
years ago, and is a sister of John R.
Mclean, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Ohio. Mrs. Hazen has no chill
dren and since her husbands death has
made her home with her mother. She
is woman of large means, about 40
years of age and popular in the best
social circles of Washington. The date
for the wedding has not been fixed, the
understanding is that it will take place
some time during November. Rumor
has connected the names Of the admiral
and Mrs. Hazen for some time, but
little attention was paid to the matter.
Previous to his departure to take charge
of the Asiatic squadron two years ago
he had been visitor at the home Of
Mrs. McLain, Mrs. Hazen's mother.
The adlniral's first wife died in 1878.

Feared the Vice President Will Not Re-
cover From tho Last Attack.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Vice President
Hobart, who has been i'll for weeks at
his home in Patterson, N. j., suffered a
relapse during the afternoon. He had
succession of choking spells, resulting
from an imperfect action of the heart,
an old affection, complicated with in
flammation of the stomach. Mr.. Ho-
bart has been ill since the close of the
last congress. DR.. Newton says that
between II p. IN. and 2 a. IN. Mr.. Ho-
bart's condition was more critical than
it has been at any time during the
eight months he has been ill.
After the passage of the crisis he
rested quietly until daylight and dur
ing the day he was in good spirits. 1t
is said that during the day he was
Able to Sit Up in Bed
and that he was able to talk to Mrs.
Hobart and aheir son, Garrett, Jr.
DR.. Newton refused to make any
-tatement as to the cause of Mr.. Ho-
bart's illness. He said, however, that
the report that Mr.. Hobart's mind was
in any way affected by the illness was
not true. This statement was also made
by members of the family and Hobart
Tuttle, the vice presidents secretary,
Mr.. Anson, Mr.. Hobart's lifelong
friend and law partner, said he did not
think Mr.. Hobart would die during the
night, but he feared the vice president
had not long to live. He refused to
enter into details relative to the malady
from which the patient suffered, but
his idea was that it was necessarily
fatal, though not Immediately so.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The following is
the text of General Whites dispatch to

II have to report disaster to the

Royal Irish Fuslleers, No 10 Mountain
battery and the Gloucestershire regi-
ment were surrounded in the hills and,
after losing heavily, had to capitulate.

tanned.

hospital orderly, came in under flag
of truce with letter from the survi-
vors of the column, who asked for as
sistance to bury the dead. fear there
is no doubt of the truth of the report.
II formed plan in the carrying out
of which the disaster occurred and 7
am alone responsible for the plan.
There is no blame whatever to the
troops, as the position was untenable."

HOW A BULLET TRAVELS.
Lessons the Soldier Is Taught In
Learning How to Shoot.

Lessons the Soldier Is Taught In
Learning How to Shoot.
The soldier is taught that the bullet
travels through! tho air in curved line
called tho trajectory, and that three
forces act upon it-frst, the exploded
charge, tending to drive it forward in
o straight line along the line of fire;
second, the force of gravity, and, third,
the air resistance. At 900 yards, owing
to these forces, the bullet, travelling at
the rate Of 1000 feet second, will
have fallen about two feet. In the ex-
citement of firing at close quarters the
aim will invariably be too high
1t has been calculated that when the
enemy approaches within $50 yards the
soldiers will instinctively fire as much
Us two feet OF three feet above their
heads. Now, it has been found by ex-
pertinent that the fact Of fixing bay
onets will cause the bullet to drop
distance of about 2la feet in $50 yards,
and therefore when about this distance
from the enemy soldiers are instructed
to fix bayonets, in order 20 counteract
OiiC C-AStSSlNc ClcfttlOl VI lHcll ulul
The recruit learns that the mean ex-
treme range of the bullet is 3, 800 yards,
and that the longest shot ever observed
was 3,7G0 yards. He is taught the pene-
trating power of his weapon, subject
full of interest. To take one or two ex-
amples, ramlncd earth gives less pro-
lection than loose; bullets easily find
their way through joints of walls, while
a concentrated fire of about $50 rounds
at 200 yards will breach u nine inch
brick wall
Only experience can teach q soldier
how much he must aim to the right or
left of his mark to counteract the force
Of the wind. "A side wind has more
effect on tho flight of the bullet than a
wind blowing directly toward the firer.
The soldier must learn the habits Of his
rifle, since somo shoot higher or lower
than others. Every rifle, like every
marksman, has its own Individuality
