SALE OF LIQUOR
is PROHIBITED

New York, April 3.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Attorney
General Griggs will render an opinion this
week on the question of authority of the
secretary of war to permit the sale of beer
on public reservations under his control.
Temperance men all over the country are
making a strong effort to secure prohihi-
ton of the sale of beer at the military
posts and soldiers homes and they sue
ceeded in getting through congress dur
ing the last session provision in the
army reorganization bill that mo officer
or private soldier shall be detailed to sell
Intoxicating drinks, as a bartender or
otherwise in any post exchange or can
, teen, nor shall any person be required or
allowed to sell such liquors in any en-
campment or fort, or on any premises
used for military purposes by the United
States" The secretary OF war is specially
directed to issue such general orders as
may be necessary to carry these pro-
visions into effect. Judge Advocate Cen
eral Leber held that the section required
the total prohibition of the sale of lntoNi-
eating liquors, but Secretary Alger simply
published the law "for the information of
all concerned"

MARINE FORCE
BEING ORGANIZED

Washington, April 3.-Arrangements
have been made for the marine forces at
the stations in the Philippines. Three
hundred and fifty marines are to be sent
to the Cavte navy yard from San Fran
cisco on the army transport Newport. A
detachment of 200 marines will leave New
York City April 10 and these will be join
ed at San Francisco by 150 more. Fifteen
officers will accompany this force which
is the first battalion of 1000 marines
which will eventually be assembled at
Cavte. This force has been requested by
Admiral Dewey in anticipation of the
fact that the forces of the army will be
withdrawn from the naval reservation at
Cavite. The detail of officers for this
force is now under consideration by the
commandment but no officers have as yet
been definitely decided upon. Maj. Charles
McCawley, assistant quartermaster, will
accompany the battalion to the Philip
pines, where he will organize the quarter
masters work of the corps. When this
duty is completed, he will be relieved by
a captain and assistant quartermaster
and return to his proper station at Wash
ington.
1t is expected that the force of marines
for CWam, under command of Col. p. c.
Pope, will get away about May /. The
commandant of the marine corps has au-
thorized the procurement in the next an
nual supplies for the corps tank-colored
leather shoes to be worn in the tropics.
The marines destined for the Philippines
and Guam will be provided with the regu-
lar blue flannel blouses, but they will be
made in skeleton form entirely without
lining or stiffening of any kind. The sea
soldiers will also be provided with colored
linen such as is worn by the marine bat
talon in Cuba. This suit has proved
durable and at the same time lighter and
cooler than the army Khaki uniform. A
new white helmet has been adopted for
wear by the marines in warm climates
1t differs from the old white helmet in
that it has no brass ornaments, is lighter,
has more flare on the sides to protect the
temples and much longer rear piece to
protect the back of the neck. The body
of the helmet is made of three ply cork
covered with white drilling.

THE YALE
ALUMNI HALL

New York, April 3-Although no appeal
has yet been made by the public for
money to build the great alumni hail at
Yale, which President Dwight wishes to
make a conspicuous feature Of the bi
centennial ceremonies in October, 1901, Il
large sum has been promised by members
of the funds committee in New York aud
other cities At a meeting of the New
York branch of the committee last week
moro than $150,000 was promised, but this
does not nearly represent the total
amount that Yale men here are expected
to contribute after the appeal for funds
has been issued. 1t is expected that this
appeal will be made by means Of cir
cular issued from New Haven within 10
days. The Boston alumni raised $25, 0G0
last week. 1t is not known precisely how
much money will be required for the
alumni building, but there will probably
be no difficulty in raising all that is neces-
sary to erect one of the finest college
buildings in the world The original plan
outlined by President Dwight would call
for about half million dollars, but it is
more than likely that the plan will be
amplified to broaden the project beyond
anything dreamed Of in the original sug-
gestion. The building may cost 81 oo0

HE WAS MISTAKEN
FOR A FILIPINO

Chicago, April ga special to the Tri-
next two weeks the government will be
asked by Great Britain to indemnify the
family of British subject named Simp-
son, who was killed during the battle
at Manila, Feb. 20. Simpson represented
an English paper house and was acc1-
dentally shot. He was looking out of the
window of his house when the battle w&s
in progress and being dressed in white
clothing, he was mistaken for Filipino.
Early in March Sir Philip James Stan
hope asked on the floor of the house of
commons if the details of the occurrence
had been received by the government.
Parliamentary Secretary Broderick re-
piled that the details would not be in the
hands of the government until the early
part of April, when, he said, friendly
representations would be made to this
country.
1t is now said these details are in the
hands of the British foreign office and
will be Immediately forwarded to Sir
Julian Pauncefote, who will make repre-
sentations to the state department.. This
will be the first claim of the kind grow
ing out of the Spanish war and the opera
tions in the Philippines. When the facts
are presented to the state department, it
is believed the justice of the claim will be
acknowledged and congress will be asked
to make an appropriation, as there is no
fund at the disposal of the department to
meet such cases.

Proclamation Issued by the
President Today.
THOSE WHO FELL in BATTLE
And Have No Relations Here Will be
Buried in National Cemeteries
--Apri! 9th the Day.

Washington April 3.-The president
today issued the following executive
order:
'It is fitting that in behalf of the nation
a tribute of honor be paid to the memo
ries of the noble men who lost their lives
in their country's service during the late
war with Spain. 1t is the more fitting,
nasmuch as in consonance with the
spirit of our free institutions and IN obe-
dience to the most exalted promptlnSs
of patriotism those who We're sent to
other shores to do battle for their coun-
try's honor under their country's flag
went freely from every quarter of our
beloved land.
Each soldier, each sailor, parting from
home ties and putting behind him pri-
vate interest in the presence of stern
emergency of unsought war with an alien
foe was an individual type of devotion of
citizen to the state which makes our
nation strong in unity and IN action.
Those who died in another land left in
many homes the undying memory that
attend heroes of all ages.
1T was fitting that with the advent of
peace won by their sacrifice their bodies
should be gathered with tender care and
restored to home and kindred. This has
been done with the dead of Cuba and
Porto Rico Those of the Philippines
still rest where they fell, watched over
by their surviving comrades and crowned
with love of a grateful nation.
THE remains of many brought to our
shore have been delivered to their fami-
lies for private burial. But for others OF
the brave officers and men who perished
there has been reserved interment in
ground sacred to soldiers and sailors
among tributes Of military honor and
national mourning they have SO well de-
served
II therefore order: That upon the ar
rival of the cortege at the National
cemetery at Arlington all proper military
and naval honors be paid the dead heroes;
that suiting ceremonies shall attend
their interment; that the customary sa-
lutte of mourning be fired a the cemetery
and that on the same day at 2 o'clock
Thursday, the 9th day of April, the ma
tional flag be displayed at half mast on
all public buildings, forts, camps and
public vessels of the United States, and
that a u o'clock, noon, of said day, all
departments of the government at Wash
ington shall be closed.

tary Of War Meikiejohn issued this order:

who lost their lives in the war with
Spain during the operations in Cuba and
