The CONDEMNED SOldiers--Cable-
gram from Gen. Otis.

Washington, Sept. lS.-Those who
have been hoping and expecting Gen.
Otis would be shortly relieved of the
supreme command of affairs in the
Philippines are disheartened by the
fact that every request he makes is
promptly honored, which would indi-
cate that his suppression is not con-
templated by the administration. The
work before Gen. Otis is so important
and momentous that he will be fur
nished not alone with an abundance Of
materials and supplies, but with the
very best and most experienced officers
in every branch of the service, espe-
cially with the most competent and
accomplished quartermasters, commits
saries and medical officers. There are
now 5,59S officers and men Of the regu-
lar and volunteer service Of the United
States on the Pacific on the way to
Manila. With the sailing. of the
Belgian King Friday from San Fran
cisco with seven companies of the
Thirty fourth regiment, there are
six transports on the way loaded
with troops. The City of Sidney car

officers; the st. Paul $50 men and 40
officers OF the Third cavalry; City Of
Pueblo, $50 recruits and S6 officers; the
Warrel, 100 recruits and ~ officers,
and the Columbia, 900 men and 80

Morgan City, which went aground off
the coast of Japan, will go to Nagasaki

Ohio will take the men on the Morgan

He Would Not Be Ridden by Any One But
 a Cayalryman.
 A horse recognizes the master in the man quicker, if anything. than the man feels himself master of the horse. You will see it dozens of times if you will take the trouble to look.
 The other day Quartermaster Coe tried tomount his brand-new horse, and had some difficulty in doing so, because of the restless and nervous tempera- ment of the animal. Then along came Lieutenant Howard of the 3d United States Cavalry. The lieutenant looked interested when he saw the horse, for what interests cayalryman more than fine equine?
 Coe lifted ponderous neither limb and stuck his toes out toward tue stir rup. The horse stepped aside. The lieutenant tried again, but the horse continued a very pretty military side step until he had completed the full arc of circle. The jovial quartermas- ter was long time in getting into the saddle, and after he finally landed the horse was off at clip.
 Hum" said Lieutenant Howard Good horse, but wants training. Let me try him minute, will you?'
 The cavalryman walked up to the horse and before touching him stood a few minutes quietly at his side. The horse looked interested, and peeked around in something like surprise. Then the lieutenant lifted his foot and directed it toward the stirrup. The horse moved quickly aside, but the lieutenant was quicker Ills foot reach ed the stirrup and stuck there. With nervous jump the animal resumed his side stepping. Lieutenant Howard, however. stuck like barnacle, with one hand on the pommel and the other on the bridle. In this manner the horse completed the circle several times, the lieutenant with one foot sliding along the ground and the other in the stirrup. Finding he could not shake the officer of. the horse finally stood still. Then Lieutenant Howard lightly mounted, dismounted and then mounted again, tuC cpCl dSiOu d OOLCA lllOCS without stopping. The horse stood as still as statue, The whole science of it was that the horse understood thoroughly that the man with the yell low stripes on his trousers knew more about equine temperaments than the man with the white stripes. Lieuten- ant Howard made his will felt by intui- tion rather than by force.

New Words for Our vocabuIary.

One minor result of the Cuban in- surreetion and our war with Spain is the secretion of several new words to our vocabulary. Jncommunicado' is already aeclimated and is frequently used in the newspapers in accounts of arrests for crime. sReconcentrados is a term of more special meaning that can scarcely be introduced into our daily speech in an extended signif- canoe. It has almost the infiexibility of proper noun substantive. Dupuy de Lome's use of the term "politicas- tro" in his notorious letter has recalled the fact that in the English language there is already a similar word, ''politi- caster" which Milton found service able to describe petty politician, just as we use "poetaster" to describe an inferior versifier. Doubtless when our army comes back from Cuba they will bring with them many words which will gradually be adopted Into our vocabulary,

A Novelty in Bells.

Herr Appunn of IIanau has invented bell of new shape, which is said to have a very deep tone and to be as powerful as considerably heavier bells of the form at present in vogue. The shape is peculiar, being heInispherica1. while the metal is uniform in thick ness except near the sound bow tor the thickened tip which the clapper strikes). From the edge to some little distance above the sound bow the metal is veTy thick, and then alters suddenly to the uniform thickness which it has for the rest of the bell.

----------------------------- Buying GOdship in China.

It is possible for any Chinaman, or even any Chinese woman, to become a deity by paying for the honor. A few years ago rich and devout Chinese lady died in Soochoo. Her friends thought that an apotheosis was no more than her due, and communicated with the priests, who interviewed the gods on the subject and discovered that the God of the Left Little Toe Nail had no wife. The old lady was accordingly married to his godship and is now enrolled as the Goddess of the Left Little Toe-Nail." The honor cost the old lady's estate over $5,00O.

CAMP MEADE TO BE REVIVED
Troops Coming From Cuba VIII BE
Detained There.

The re-estabIiShmert of Camp Meade
near Middletown. Pa. as a place for the
muster out of volunteer troops is going
rapidly forward. An officer cf the quar-
termaster's department has been there
some time and is now putting the camp in
condition for the occupancy of the troops.
Major Harry +. Wilkins. chief commissary
of subsistence NJ New York, has been or
dered to Camp Meade to purchase and have
on hand supplies To feed the troops when
they reach Camp Meade.
The difficulty that has already been en-
cOuntered in southern ports has FASTENED
matters al MeaIe
The possibility that southern states will
declare a quarantine against volunteer
troops returning from Cuba for muster out
at Savannah is the cause of the re-estab-
IShment Of Camp Meade where many of
the regiments composing the army of OCcu-
patton We're GUartered last summer and
fall. As the transport facilities are poor, it
is believed that all the regiments cannot he

May /. when the quarantine against Cuban
ports goes into effect at Savannah. The
military authorities have reason to believe
that no troops Will be permitted to land
at Savannah after April IL. and it is GER
tain that this Will he the case If yellow
fever breaks out in the army of occupa-
tion before that date.
Should savannah quarantine against the
volunteers from Cuba they will be landed
at the Delaware Breakwater and taken TO
Camp Mead \ period of detention at the
camp will be fixed during which all volun-
tecrs will be obliged To remain under OBJ

average American male is far superior to
the kind now in service there. and the con-

While the publication of the testimony
taken in the investigation of the bureau
of engraving and printing has caused con-
siderable talk, there is no reason for be-
lieving that the Treasury Department will
take any action. The testimony was re-
viewed by Secretary Gage nearly two years

resulted in the dismissal of Captain Nor

At that time Secretary Gage held that

Likely to he Ignored,

In considering what policy should be
adopted toward the Cuban military assem-
bly, the authorities have consulted Gonzales
Quesada, the Cuban representative, who
has advised that the assembly be allowed
to run its course without molestation, as
he holds that it has no strength outside of
its own membership, and that any move
to disband it would give the members an
opportunity to appear as martyrs. This
view has been accepted thus far, and may
continue, although General Brooke being
on the ground has considerable latitude of
action.
