HE WAS MlsQUoTED.
Woodford Intended Hearty Praise of the
Navy Department.


New York, Feb. 3.-General Stewart
l.. Woodford has written letter to the
secretary of the navy in response to
Secretary Longs recent letter calling
his attention to alleged inaccuracies in
the reports of speech said to have
been made by General Woodford before
the Army and Navy club. In this let
ter General Woodford explains that
when he spoke, he talked freely, having
been informed that no reporters were
present, but he expresses the belief that
he was misquoted. He adds:
I'm the published remarks 1 find that
I am reported as saying that on Feb.
IS there were not on American ships
or in the ordnance depots of the United
States two rounds of powder per gun
at that time What I intended to say
was that I had been informed during
February, 1885, that on the 18th of Feb
ruary of that year there were no more
than two rounds of ammunition per
gun and per man in the ordnance
depots and arsenals of the United
States. and that l did not then believe
that we were ready for offensive OPP
crations or could be before the 18th of
April. That this was not true with re-
gard to the navy is the boast of that
department and the pride of all our
people. If I conveyed any other idea in
my remarks to the Army and Navy
club, l regret it."
In conclusion, General Woodford
says: Il meant no criticism on Captain
O'Neil of the ordnance bureau, or the
! navy, but said what I did in intention
al and hearty praise Of yourself and
your department.

EiIinino Death Traps.

Our troops in the Philippines have
encountered some curious examples OF
Filipino methods of waging war. In
the advance on Santa Thomas the enc
my was sighted along the road. There
had been heavy rain and the fat land
on either side of the raised road was
boggy and wet. 1t was clear that some
thing unusual was going on ahead, for
there were insurgents in the road at
work, while the frightened natives
were scurrying with their bundles and
loaded bullock carts across into the
woods.
A Utah gun was brought TO bear upon
the crowd in the road, a Gatling was
ranged to the right across country, and,
while skirmishers were swung out into
the bog to the left, the guns opened up
soon had the way clear.
The wonderful pitfalls proved to be

A. we sit and dream in the silent porch
Together my pipe and l.
A cloud of smoke from the old brown
bowl
Floats up to the dapp.ed sky;
And l watch through its dim, enchanted
haze
A little sunbonnet go
In shadow and shine DER the grassy links
That lie in the vale below.
For early and late, all the long, bright
day,
1t is busy fitting there,
With a caddie wandering in its train,
While the white ball flies in air;
A sunbonnet ancient of pattern, such
As Priscilla's sweet self wore
When she walked with the homesick Pill
grim maids,
Long since, on an alien shore.
And the jolly lads in the jackets red
There's never a one goes by
But he slacks his pace and he turns his
head.
And he feels his heart beat high
At the glance he gets and the bloom he
brings
To the roguish face within
That sheltering scoop, with Its soft
strings tied
In q knot beneath her chin.
But I bide my time on the silent porch,
For I know whom she loves best,
And that by and by, when the game IL
done.
And the day dies in the west,
She will hang the sunbonnet on her arm,
And the peepins stars will see
What a soft light lies In her happy eyes,
As she wanders home with me!

Wanted st. Paurs Address.

The Athens Asty reports that q
Greek benevolent society in the Turk
ish capital recently issued a printed
appeal to the Hellenic community In
Stamboul for some special charitable
object. The appeal contained a cita-
ton from one Of the epistles of st.
Paul to the Galatians. Two days after
the publication of the circular a COM
missary of police from the censor's
department called upon the printer
and demanded the address of st. Paul,
who was to be charged with the public
utterance of seditious and politically
provocative language
The printer was ut first inclined to
laugh outright at the absurdity of
the request and Indictment, but as 1t
Is always a little risky to venture upon
a pleasantly with a Turkish official,
he sedately replied that st. Paul, the
author Of the Objectionable citation,
had been dead for something more
than eighteen centuries. This ruffied
the gravity Of the police commissary,
who angrily exclaimed, How dare
you attempt such impudent cajolery
with meT' and forthwith arrested the
printer. Extraordinary as 1t may ap-
pear, the reiteration of the same simple
explanation to the censor had an equal
ly exasperadng effect on that intelli-
gent official. and the unfortunate ty-
pographer was locked up for his per
verse contumacy." 1t was only after
lapse of three days and on the urgent
Intervention of the Greek patriarch
that the printer was released.
