intend to deal not only justly, but also
generously with the people and to seek
no grounds for harshness. 1t has been left
to the discretion OF General Brooke to dis
solve or ignore the Assembly, and he has
preferred TO bear its abuse rather than ex-
ercise his power.
There is every reason to believe that
the great body of the Cuban people have
full confidence in the justice and wisdom
of this Government and its purpose to pass
gradually into native hands such Offices
as they can administer without peril to
the unselfsh aims and great responsible

ANOTHER SOLDIER TRAITOR.
Cook for the Regulars Led Astray

Seattle, April "A second traitor to the
arms and flag of the United States is re-
ported from Manila His case is not quite
as bad as that of Corporal John W. Hayes,
OF the California regiment, as he is not
native born American. Like Hayes, he
met his Just deserts. The second traitor
is Liverpool Irishman named Walsh. who
lived in the Eastern part OF the United
States for many years.
He had been connected with several reg
iments as cook. and. while not enlisted
had fought against the Filipinos. A wom-
an was the cause of his downfall. She
persuaded him to follow her to the Fill
pinos' camp He was given captains
commission and sword. He was found
badly wounded near Paco and died while
being brought to hospital. He expressed
profound repentance at having turned his

score or more Chinese cooks have
been demonstrating their fighting ability
in the vicinity of Manila They were Sc
cured by the various regiments to do camp
work and followed the soldiers into the
field. Ii was not long until they asked
for Springfields and ammunition They
promised to fight only when not needed
to do cooking and have been doing good
work. They can hardly be driven from
the firing line TO get the necessary meals.
Several of them have been killed but that
fact does not seem to bother the others.
Two connected with a company of reg
ulars have established a reputation as
crack shots. They cannot be made to FIRE
at the command. but keep pegging away
as fast as their guns will allow.
During the February battles many bod

DinIomn.ic Dismissal.


In one of the recent dialect story books
there is a clever little sketch of plantation
life, in which figure a master and an
overseer. The master, ii is recorded. was
a mean man. and the overseer was much
meaner. One day the master went away
and during his absence by what means
it Is unnecessary to relate here. he was
brought TO experience a change of heart.
When he came back he dismissed his over
seer automatically. by telling him that he
had reduced the plantation to such perfect
order that an overseer was no longer
needed.
There is a moral in this for President
Mckinley. il he is anxious to get rid OF
Secretary Alger without hurting the lat
ter's feelings. The country in general is
not much worried about the Secretary's
feelings, being of the opinion that IL he can
stay in Office after the visible, audible. and
almost tangible evidence which he has had
of the peoples dissatisfaction, his skin is
too thick to be pierced by anything short
of an explosive bullet from an elephant
gun. But President Mckinley is a kind
hearted man, and perhaps over careful not
TO do anything likely to cause discomfort
TO his delinquent Cabinet officer. There
fore it may be well to point out to him
this loophole out of the difficulty.
Since Secretary Alger has gone away
on his Cuban junket there has not been
any particular confusion in the Office
which he is supposed to superintend. This
is rather a critical time for the head of
the War Department to be cruising about
West Indian waters on what he himself
says is purely a pleasure trip but 1t
does not appear that anything is the worse
for it, Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn has
everything in excellent order. and so far
as anyone can see it would be all right
if Secretary Alger were to continue his ex-
cursion indefinitely Would 1t not be well.
therefore, il on his return the President
were to say to him, in the gentlest and
most kindly tone of which he is master,
that this plantation is now in such good
order that he thinks IT can be run with
out the assistance of Secretary Alger, and
the latter can go and attend to his business
in Michigan, which fssa nice, cool place

of good weather will be sufficient to
secure the late sown fields of spring
wheat and oats in fine condition.
EARLY reports of threshers show yaria-
BILE results, but the yield of oats is
generally fair to good,
The rainfall of this week was very
light except in few scattered locali-

corn, potatoes and pastures are in need
of more moisture; but no material in
jury has been done, and the condition
of corn has steadily improved through
out the month OF July. With mod
crate supply of moisture and seasonable
temperature in the coming month the
output of the corn crop is likely to be
fairly satisfactory. 1t is week to
ten days late compared 70 last year,
but with seasonable temperature in
September there will be ample time to
mature the crop.
