Molasses for cavIary Horses.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Chicago Tribune says:
''Molasses for cavalry horses viii in
future be one of the items of expense
for the maintainance of the army in
the Philippines. Gen. Otis. in a cable
to the war department some months
ago, objected to the departmsnt send
ing cavalry regiments because the
horses would not eat the hay or grain
in the Philippines, and the cost OF
shipping forage from the United States
was too great. Not only did the
horses decline to eat hay but the ma
tive grasses we're too much for them.
Recently Gen. Otis said he would
like to mount Col. Kennon's Thirty
fourth Volunteer Infantry, and asked
the war department to send him horses
for this purpose. Secretary Root be-
came curious and requested Otis to
send him an explanation as to how he
intended feeding the horses. a reply
was received in which General Otis
said cavalry men had found that by
sprinkling mOlasses over the native
ha, and grasses the horses were fond
OF it and ate it as readily as that
grown in the United States. In future
operations in the Philippines mo,as-
ses for cavalry horses will be as much
a part of the ration as is tobacco for
the men -
