lance Of the Government for the proper
prosecutions of the campaigns and the
care of the soldiers.
But thirty-three years have swept by
since then, and the new generation
came on with no practical knowledge
of the value to a nation Of a great
body of trained officers. But for the
war with Spain, it is likely that we
would have witnessed set struggle
to cripple and reduce the military
training system of the country, and to
substitute trust in officers by promo
tion from the ranks, and the courage
and skill of men taken from civil life.
If the late war had lasted even a
single year we would have discovered
more fully than is now realized that
the national military school is the most
beneficent and wise provision for the
preservation of peace, and in time OF
war for it's proper and humane con-
duct.

Chino Champion: 1t is interesting to
note how DESTROYS some of the great

past twelve months to cultivate friend

Even Germany, which for several years
has exhibited a rather ugly temper, has
just opened the door for the most cor

other peoples much more courteous to-

that is precisely what France wants

to say discreditable, subject But the
Dreyfus case, inquiry anew into which
is to be made by a special Commits
sioner just appointed, with view to
ascertaining just what the courts
should do in the matter, is very likely
to be one of the causes of possible po-
litical wreck of the republic There
are other causes also. France is ter
ribly afflicted by excessive taxation !;
she is annoyed not a little by the
scheming of pretenders to power; her
army seeks to dominate the civil gov
eminent; she has a debt of over So. O00.-
100000, or SIT per capita, for France
has less than 100000 people, who
are compelled with the income from
the customs to raise S9O0,OOO,OOO an

would find herself in the ripe condition
that breeds revolution. All in ALL the

For the Coin From This
Time On.

Havana, May s1.-Yesterday's events
in connection with the payment of the
Cuban troops entitled to apply here
for a share of the American gratuity
have effectually killed off the opposi-
ton to the receipt of the bounty by
privates. In American military circles
it is considered that a fine start has
defeated.
Three hundred privntes arrived dur
ing the day to apply for payment. but
though Lieutenant Colonel Randall,
the commissioner experimenting the
distribution here. kept his Office open
from 10 a. IN. to $ p. m, only 112 could
be paid during that interval, MS each
man took up several minutes. Many
who brought arms We're not on the
rolls at all. Nincty-nine rifles were
surrendered, most of the applicants
declining to take any chances in turn
ing the weapons over to the mayor OF
Havana, evidently believing it would
be better to give them direct to the
Americans.
All day it was practically impossible
to get through the front door of the
oficeunlessth the sentry cleared the way.
The Cuban officers who on the first day
tried to discourage any who We're dis
posed to apply, finding now that the
tide of feeling has turned, are offer
ing all the assistance possible to Col
onel Randall.
At the conclusion of the days work
there were more than 200 who had not
been heard. These will have to wait
until after the return of the pay car
on June Is, and there will probably be
extra days assigned for Havana.
This morning the pay car will leave,
carrying the money. Colonel Randall,
his escort, a physician and the pay
masters. One thousand posters We're
sent yesterday into the province OF
Pinar del Rio to 0 the places
and dates of payment.
General Pedro del Gado, command
ing the Cuban forces around Guanajay,
J called his men together, told them
they were disbanded and ordered them
to take their arms and go home. OF
ed on ponies, said they would ride to
Havana and get their money. There
upon Del Gado, who was formerly q
notorious bandit, called upon the rest
to draw up in line and to shoot any
man who took the road to Havana. The
thirty mounted men gloomily dis
persed. They will have al opportunity
to receive their shares later.
1t is said that most of the Cubans
who. though having arms, did not fig
ure in the muster rolls when they ap-
piled for payment, We're furnished
with the weapons by friends at GUIANA
bacoa, where many arms had been
stored with keepers of grocery shops
by people who had purchased them
from the Spanish guerillas and yolun-
teers. They were given out to enable
the holders to secure shares in the
American gratuity.
The ~disbanding of the troops contin-
ues. Twelve hundred men, under the
command of General Jacinto Herman
DEE, who were encamped at San jose
de Las Vegas, about twentS-one miles
from Havana, have been mustered out.
They We're given certificates of service
redeemable under the first Cuban gov
eminent.

ton. What has become of the funds

turned over to Mr.. Palma? is asked.
No mention is made of this money in

point that puzzles the officers Of the
Cuban-American League is show the net
sale of Cuban bonds realized only
$4,000. Agnerrn, III his report to the
congressional committee before the

Sl50,000 worth of bonds, and that the
prices obtained for them We're about as
follows: Ten thousand dollary worth

In this part of the train occurred3the

He expected to get better, but
breathed his last at S:15 o'clock.
The dispatch he dictated was sent,
and it is hoped it partly prepared his
sweetheart for the message that fol-
lowed an hour later.
An elderly lady sat in the smoking
apartment of IL sleeping car bending
over the form of a young man.
A doctor entered and as he placed
his hand on the cold brow the woman,
with sorrow pictured upon her face,
waited hopefully for a word which
might remove her fears. But they
came not. The man was dead. With
choking voice she said: "He was my
boy, my darling boy" Your son?"
No; my son died two years ago, but

Exercises were held this afternoon
at Grants tomb. The Grand Army rit-

A remarkable feature of the day was
the extraordinary reception accorded
to the seventy-drst regiment in tn.

officers of this organization had been,
subjected to an inquiry regarding
their conduct in Cuba. but the men
were greeted with enthusiasm. All

Women tore off sashes and ribbons anu
waved them in the mir.
The Seventh regiment of the New

volunteer for the war with Spain, was
Kissed as it passed the reviewing stand.
