Howard Joyce.

Among the peoples in which England
is very intensely interested just at
present, there is one whose actions she
is watching more closely than anyone
else, on account of the grasp she is
getting on China, and that is "The
Muscovite" or Russian. Mr.. Joyce
treated the subject historically at first,
telling the condition of things under
Peter the Great and Frederick IL.
Russia is pure despotism, though to-
day she is in the outer edge Of the
whirlpool of democracy and is slowly
but surely being drawn to the vortex.
The first move in that direction which
has been manifest is her seeming will
ingness to entertain the disarmament
proposition. If international disarma-
ment can be secured, what wonderful
things might be accomplished. We
hope she may not prove a bear in
Sleeps clothing in this matter.

delivering the class history, Miss Chap.
man had ready hearers. The history
of the class of '99 is divided into three
eras-ancient, medieval and modern
The ancient period covers the time
from babyhood to entering the pri
mary; medieval from primary to higf
school, and the modern covers the
four years of the high school In con-
nection with first part of the medieva
period mention was made of Miss
Brown and the time they were under
her instruction was made memorable
by the fact that they acquired the ar
of drawing pictures and of writing anC
passing notes. The class then passed
through the dark ages or the grammar
grades, and they made themselye
famous in their initial year of higl
school work by one of their numbe
winning an oratorical contest with tn,
older tribes. Then was the period o
class parties begun and the social spiri
of the class began to manifest itsell

THE DIsTRICr GUARD.
The Plans for the Coming Encamp-
ment ut LeesburE.

In anticipation of the coming encamp-
ment of the National Guard of the District
of Columbia, near Leesburg, Va, from
June to l6 next, a conference Of the offi-
GERS OF the Guard was held last evening.
The meeting was held at o'clock in the
drill hall at the Centre Market ArmOry.
About fifty officers were present. The
meeting was opened with an informal talk
by General Harries. in which he referred
to the depletion of the ranks Of the Guard
by reason of the war and the process OF
reorganization now under way. He said
that the war had affected the National
Guard of almost every State. and that the
Guard in twenty-five States had been de
moralized. He explained the object of th5
coming encampment. 1t was not intended
to be grinding upon the members OF ths
Guard.
Major Parmenter explained that the raj
roads had given assurance of excursion
rates to the Leesburg camp. so as to IA
cilitate friends OF the Guardsmen in visit
ing there
During the conference many officer
made various suggestions regarding details
Of transportation and subsistence. Ii wa
announced that all servants TO officers vii
be furnished free transportation and sub
sistence The meeting adjourned at II
o'clock.

mostly unfordable, In addition the enemy
had built strong entrenchments from ten to
twenty feet thick at short intervals
along the roads. on the river banks and
especially along the railroad. These
trenches were OF modern type. The ad-
vance OF the army was so rapid that the
enemy had no time TO destroy the iron
railroad bridges and the unfordable streams
were crossed on these with little delay,
the mules and horses swimming.
THE detachment under my command
went into action in the following engage
ments: Near Cabalahan on March 20. COW
ering with the artillery the advance OF the
Montana and Pennsylvania regiments
against strong entertainments on the Malin-
ta-Novaliches road. In the afternoon OF the
same day a platoon of thirty men from the
Fourth Cavalry found the enemy strongly
fortified on the opposite bank of the Tu-
liahan River and engaged with heavy loss
to themselves. The Colt gun with one
piece OF artillery went into action under
heavy fire on the left OF the road and the
enemy shortly fed from his entrench-
ments At the Marialo River March 2S,
the detachment advanced under cover to
within seventy-five yards of the enemy's
trenches strongly thrown up on the bank
across the river ana Dy sweeping HTe
covering the trench. which was about 15O
feet long. silenced the enemy's fire and
enabled the artillery to come up on the
open road to within seventy yards OF them.
Twenty three OF them surrendered In this
trench, though a deep river was between.
Some twenty-odd who attempted to es-
cape were nearly all shot down. AS an in
stance of the accuracy OF the Colt gun,

and Assistant Surgeon Smith. attached TO
the artillery, reported that one man was
found dead with five holes in his body
in a space that could be covered with

the Colt gun as he attempted to escape
At Guiguinto on March 30 the enemy was
encountered In force on the opposite bank
of the river retreatng before the advance
of our troops to fringe of woods about
1900 yards distant, from which they pour
ed in heavy and destructive fire as We
crossed the river on the railroad bridge
Our troops were here under a great dis
advantage, their Springfield rifles not be-
ing effective at this range. My detachment
crossed the bridge under this fire and
opened up at a range of from 1.600 to 1900
yards with. it is believed, good effect
Near Malolos on March 81, the artillery
and the Colt gun commenced the action
and in a few minutes the enemy retreated
from behind strong entrenchments. Al
ter the artillery had driven them from
their works the Colt gun kept up a fire
on the retreating enemy up to range of
2 600 yards Malolos was then occupied
with little resistance. On April l took

part with my detachment in a reconnois-
sance northward as far as the Quingua
River, where the enemy was encountered
in some force, fortified on the opposite
bank.
Il returned to the ship on April in
obedience to your orders of the Sd instant.
I'm my opinion the efficiency OF the au-
tomato gun in operation on shore was am
ply demonstrated in this campaign. The
light weight of the gun and ammunition
and it's simplicity of handling makes it
available for varied uses. AS an adjunct
to artillery, especially as the modern ten
dency seems to be toward close ranges, it
would seem to be invaluable. A gun, tri
pod, and $500 rounds of ammunition, the
whole weighing less than $50 pounds, could
be readily carried on the timber OF each
piece. But two men would be required to
set it up and operate it. and it would be
equivalent to the support of a company of
infantry with the additional advantages OF
being able to fire over the heads of advan--
ing troops with perfect safety, as was done
at Guiguinto. Its portability is such that
1t could form part OF the equipment OF
each infantry company or cavalry, and it Is
so small and compact that it can be taken
with its tripod almost anywhere a man
can go. Another point is its value for high
angle fire. The value of a battery of such
guns to a regiment is obvious. During the
campaign about $500 rounds were fTel
from the gun. An examination OF the bar
rel and mechanism shows the whole to be
in excellent condition after total OF over
1000 rounds had been fired from it. The
Winchester ammunition furnished proved
to be defective and not fit to be used in the
gun. The Z. NJ. C. ammunition was salts
factory in every respect. The last $500
rounds were fired without a single jam.
The conduct OF the detachment is de-
serving OF commentator.
Il cannot refrain from expressing my
admiration at the skill with which the
campaign was conducted and OF the valor,
endurance and cheerfulness OF the Ameri
can troops"

Charges AEninst the Late Colonel
stot-enburg Rcfuted.

The Assistant Secretary of War has Just
received from General Otis full reports
concerning the charges preferred by rela-
tives and friends of enlisted men of the
First Nebraska Volunteers against Col,
John H. Stotsenberg, commanding said
regiment. These charges embraced allie
cations of ill-treatment of the men of his
command and were accompanied by res
olution of the House of Representatives of
. the Nebraska Legislature, requesting a
complete and thorough investigation Of the
matter.
General Otis, in response TO the direc-
tions of the War Department, Immediately
set on foot an investigation. The Inspec-
tor General assigned to the duty states in
his report that he personally interviewed
every officer of the Nebraska Regiment on
duty with 1t, and all other officers detached
from il, who were accessible, and an
nounced the substance of the charges and
the resolution to each company and the
band; that he also visited for the same
purpose the several hospitals and invited
