ANU SEMENTS.

BURR MCINTOSH LECTURE.-Burr
Mcintosh, who went as a correspondent to
Cuba with General Skaters army, related
his experiences again last night at the Ma
tional Rifles Hall and incidentally stirred
up a hornets nest in his criticism of Roose-
welt and the officers who We're responsible
for the Guasimas fight. Mr.. McIntoshs
hearers were intently interested in what he
said and keenly appreciated the bits of dry
humOr which punctuated his remarks The
lecture, which was modestly styled The
Little / Saw of Cuba" was substantially
the same as the one recently delivered at
the Columbia Theater and related merely
to the personal experiences OF the lecturer
and statements that were made to him. A
soldier of tae Santiago campaign, one who
had fought under Roosevelt, was indignant
at Mr.. Mclntosh's statement that Roose
welt seemed to be pleased at the heavy loss
his regiment sustained in the fight at Qua
simas, and a dispute followed for nearly
half an hour, which was followed with
cheers by the audience. Mr.. Mcintosh de-
Clared that he was not DESTROYS of any
cheap nOtoriety and did not make state
ments in denunciation of that first fight
with any such idea in view. He had no
feeling against Roosevelt, but he believed
the fight was without orders. and was
wholly unnecessary, and was made simply
to give the officers glory.

Summer Cooking With Kerosene OF,

Miss A. E. Hunt. the wellknown cooking
expert OF Philadelphia, is now giving pub
lie demons tration of the workings of the
wonderful new Puritan blue-hame oil stoves
at Barber & Ross, 18th and G SITS, to which
the public are invited. Miss Hunt explains
the various points of the stoves. which
seem TO be simple and easily operated, and
prepares little food necessities and dainties
which her audience are invited to taste.
The process of the stove is very simple
The supply of oil to the burner is con-
uoiled by u tiue needle valve, which allows
the oil TO flow one drop at a time This
slight supply is carried to the vaporizing
bowl and converted into vapor by the in
tense heat of the chimney, which gives a
pure blue flame as hot as gas or gasoline,
and at less expense.

MEMBERSHIP FORFEITED.
Action by Loyal Legion in Case
Gen. Engan.

Gen. Engan.
in the Loyal Legion was declared by that
organization to be forfeited at a meeting
held last night. While the proceedings
were secret II is understood the vote stood
100 to 40 in favor of the action taken.
The meeting was called for the election Of
officers and the annual banquet. 1t was I'M
derstood that General Eagan's case which
had been postponed at a previous meeting
would be taken up. The grounds upon
which the forfeiture was urged was his
conviction by an army court-martial of
conduct unbecoming an officer and a gen.
ueman. On account of the leniency which
the President showed General Eagan there
was general inclination last night to be as
easy as possible with him, and instead of
adopting an order of expulsion favored by
some, his membership was declared for
feited, some of his friends claiming that
the latter method was less offensive.
At the business meeting the following
ohcers were elected: Commander Brga-
der General John NJ Wilson. u S. A:
senior vice commander, Rear Admiral Ed

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1 do not know upon what lines Pass IN

a great injustice to the majority of the

on the l4th street line great deal In the

the extreme courtesy of the conductors to
old or intirm passengers, and the care with
which they have helped such pass myers on

but II We have one side of the shield We
