ARMY OFFICERS AT FIFTEEN.
THAT Is the Age OF some of the Youth
ful COIoneIs ON Aguinal-
dos stan.

From the American point OF view
the insurgent leaders over in the Phil
ippines are all pack of boys, says
Louis Rodriguez, the Filipino, now re-
siding in New Orleans, who has applied
for the position of stenographer on
Gen. Otis staff, according to the New
Orleans Democrat. 1T may sur
prise you to know that their average
age is between 10 and IS. know near
~ all of them personally and many OF
them are the sons Of our old friends
and neighDors, so am not at all ilkeiy
to be mistaken There is hardly ma
tive officer in Aguipaldo's whole com
mand who has reached 80, and very
few who are over 25. know positively
that some of the colonels and minor
officers are boys between Is and Is.
at should be borne in mind, however,
that young people mature much more
rapidly in that tropical climate than
they do in this country. There is is re-
garded rs an age of discretion and re-
sponsibility, and not few marry even
younger. Severe, long-continued eX-
ertion is impossible in the latitude OF
Manila, and a man OF IS ought to be pro-
yided against future wants. To that
end he has to begin early. Aguinaldo
chose boys for his officers because he
was shrewd enough to appreciate the
military value of the enthusiasm OF
youth"

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10 1899,
THE FACTS in THE CASE.
to 1.

ness the Bulletin makes an attack
upon the Board Of Supervisors for
what it terms demanding and re-
oeiving money from school dis
triets which they were not entitled
to, and Incidentally assuming that
the trustees were q set of fools for
paying it.
If our contemporary wished to
be fair, which it evidently did not,
why did it not give the whole
facts in the case and let the peo'
pie act as judges. But instead of
this it arrogates to itself the title
of Judge, attempts TO create an
antagcnism against the Board in
the minds of the people without a
hearing,
Now the facts in the case are
these: That before the adjourn
ment of the regular quarterly
meeting of the Board of Super
visors In April last the trustees of
Solomonville and Thatcher re-
ques,ed special meeting of the
Board in May to receive the bids
on the school bonds of the two
districts. 1t was suggested by
one member of the Board that the
business could be transacted at the
next regular meeting, but at the
request of both districts special
meeting was called for May 18th,
in order to transact this special
business, for only Solomonville and
Thatcher derived any benefit.
And the reason the special meet
inc was requested was because to
await the regular meeting would
delay the commencement of build
ing about two months, thus
preventing the use of either build
ing this year. This meeting was
called for the purpose of transact
ing business for no other portions
OF the county than the two places
mentioned above, and they were
the only places receiving any bene-
1T.
The Supervisors, viewing the
case as it really existed did not
believe the county at large should
pay for special privileges granted
TO Solomonville and Thatcher, and
the trustees evidently took the
same view Of the matter.
In reply the Bulletin will say
that Stafford, in bonding her dis
trict, did not have Supervisors
salary to pay, which is a tact, for
the simple reason that no special
meeting was called for that pur.
pose. The fact of the matter is
that the Bulletin wanted to make
fight on the Board and had no
other excuse.
As the expense of this meeting
was incurred especially for the
benefit of these two districts they
were required to pay it and no
money was drawn from the county.

forward was to court death, and, though
the quarter was no place for a seaman off
duty. all attempts at discipline and sea eti-
quette bad given way before the common
danger. and both men kept aft to be clear of
the rush of the sea-
In half-dreamy way I was coming the
bor'zon dead ahead when l saw the fore
castle door open and the man who had de-
fed me step to the deck at an interval when
for moment the deluge had subsided. He
was suffering agony from his wrenched arm,
for his face was working, and he held the
wounded limb in his right hand The pain
of it had probably driven him to despera-
tion, or reduced his spirit into getting aft
and seeking possible relief to his torment
Behind him appeared the head and part
OF the BODY of the now sobered surgeon, at
whose advice he had doubtless taken the
reckless step of leaving the forecastle. The
man in advance seemed dazed, for he hesi-
tated and almost fell as the head of the
schooner rose to billow, but with an ef-
fort he turned toward me and staggered
step forward. At that instant | saw
huge sea lifting ahead, its ridge tottering to
fall, it's fine crest rent by the wind, blow
ing to leeward like smoke, and as marked
it l threw up one hand and shouted to the
man to get back. Whether he understood
or not shall never know, for ere he had
gotten abreast the foremast the vicious roll
er boarded the schooner with a roar and at
once the fellow disappeared. saw him
second later borne swiftly along the deck
toward the bulkhead passage, and before
one could shout MAN overboard!" he was
swept into the sea as bucket of water
would have swept away chip. Again l
marked him drifting sternward on the crest
of wave, with one hand in the air, as in
appeal, his set, white face looking like paper
as he gave last terror-stricken glance at me
and shout unheard save by his Maker.
To lift finger for his rescue was beyond
all but Divine power, and, though he was
no more than the boom's length from me,
he was as fairly seized by death as though
clutched by fatal malady.

His exclamation was caused by a sudden
jerk of the schooner, followed by sideloue

the starboard bow. The full force of it
was broken by the house on the forecastle
hatch, but the bulk swept over all obstacles
like cascade, and, rising to our hips. drove
US clear of the deck in twinkling. In

rush subsided and let our feet come to- the

We fed before the gale, and like the spin

the three terrible days during which this
storm lasted mind me only of few poig-

stage of the tempest was fercer by far than
was the first, and the wind came from
quarter almost exactly opposite the point
from which it broke on the night of August
ll-namely, southeast. And with it came
rama pent-up deluge that laced the sea
and sky with parallel lines like strings of
polished steel wire. While we held the wind
astern it was endurable, but later. when we
bore into the gale, ones face could not suffer
long exposure to the blast that drove the
liquid pellets before it like volleys OF buck
shot.
We had not held our way for long when
it became plain that to escape by running
was impossible, as the following seas reached
height and speed that threatened to poop
the schooner at any moment. 1t had finally
