The Remains of 1853 Soldiers and

marines who fell in battle and died of
disease. Captain Tayman reports that %
OF the bodies are from Porto Rico. 246

The majority of those brought back were

from Michigan. ~ from Illinois, 10 from

The identity of the member OF the Dis

ment or at the headquarters of the Dis
trict National Guard. but il is probably
First Lieut.. Richard ]. Harden. of the
Emmet Guard. The only other District
soldier left in Cuba was Private Poor. OF
Company K.
The list OF the names has not yet been
made out. 1t is not known when the
bodies will be brought to Washington.
although it will probably not be earlier
than Saturday. They will arrive on a
special funeral train over the Penn5yI-
vania Railway. Each casket is metallic,
and will be draped with the national
colors. When claimed bodies will bs
turned over to friends for interment. and
those not claimed will be buried in Airing
ton, including the marines. whose friends
will not be allowed the privilege OF claim
ing them. This is done as a sanitary
precaution. Colonel Moore. OF the Quar-
termaster's Department, has charge OF all
arrangements.
The train bearing the dead will be side
tracked at Roslyn and army wagons are
to be used to transport the bodies to
Arlington. where they will be placed be-
side those who were brought here three
weeks ago. The funeral will not be q
national affair as previously
Undertakers disinterred 2e0 more bodies
than arrived here on the Crook. but as the
officers of the transport were in hurry
to get here before warm weather set in.
the bodies were stored on small island
in Santiago Harbor. About 200 more oodies
remain to be disinterred Further re-
movals of bodies to this country. however,

Mukie,s wonderful cour.

II Is beyond doubt that great many
people will be Mortified at the exposure of
the great internal revenue stamp and silver
certificate counterfeit conspiracy, some de-
tails of which appear in our news columns
this morning. We are neither shocked nor
surprised. That former public officials
should be charged with guilty eopareener-
ship in scheme to rob the Government of
millions may reflect discredit upon them
but il should be remembered that they
must have been sorely tempted.
II il be asked how that could be, it is
only necessary to refer the reader TO the
notorious fact that other people who have
done a worse thing, in fattening on the
poisoning and murder of our troops in
Cuba and Porto Rico; who have robbed
the Government in exactly as criminal a
way: Mho have stolen as openly and fla :
graatiy as the countsrfeiteTs did or meant
TO. are rolling in ease and luxury today,
and are not in any particular danger Of
punishment or even of legal exposure.
When individuals who are not over nice
in the matter of conscience see their fei-
lows wallowing in credit, honor. and power
on the strength of their ability to black
mail the trusts and TO bully and bribe
voters. thus being able to purchase legisla-
lures or even Presidential election, what
wonder is IT that they should consider the
Commonwealth as teat TO be emulgated
in any way necessary TO draw the milk.
When inherent rascals see other rascals
growing rich on corrupt contracts, carry
ing death and misery in their train, and
for which the people at large must bleed
in money, who can be surprised if they
assume that one way of stealing from the
Treasury Is as virtuous as another way?
No, we should not wonder at this hid

consequences of the things We have borne

the thousands of young sleuths now en-

readily dilletante detectivity may be di-
verted by false scents from a direct line
leading to the real snakist.
No doubt the solution of the mystery lies
among the dime museums. the Oriental
dancers, and the boots of the city. We
rather incline TO the boots. Science, which
tells US that the boots of many persons are
as full of snakes as a red can is of ex-
plosive carrion, has thus far failed to pro-
vide any classification OF them. Snakes"

osition is that a gentleman with an ample

might think of some one who

proper desire to restore the equilibrium OF

American vs.. Filipino savaees.

(From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.)
The Filipincs are as savage as the North Amer
lean Indians. 1t Is matter of record, however,
that The Americans tanned the red men of this
part of the world and they can do this for the
brown men OF the Philippines. Nobody who
knows anything about the record Of the fighting
qualities OF the Sarragansetts, the Iroquois. the
Miamis, the Wyandottes the Semnoles. or the
Sioux will suppose the filipinos are more for
midabe than were these fierce warriors. Nobody
believes that Aguinaldo is abler than was Philip,
Pontiac, Brant. Little Turtle, Tecumsel, osceola,
or any one of dozen other Indian chiefs whose
names could he cited. Aguinaldo himself will
take care to keep out Of harms way. But his
rebellion is bound to collapse when, at the close
Of the present rainy and inclement season, the
Americans reach out for him in earnest This
the Americans viii unquestionably do il the rebels
do not subside earlier.
