Shafter that within a few days from his
debarkation he would have cleared the
country for several miles from his landing

been a forecast of failure. Il IS difficult,
therefore, to conceive by what process of
reasoning ii was decided in advance that it
would be impracticable to carry cattle with
the army, to be slaughtered either en-
shore or on shipboard, preferably tn, for

But it does not rest with line officers to

Not Clear Yet as to the Cattle.

Cen Chaffee was trih- more explicit
than was Gen. Shafter in his statement be-
fore the army beef court rs TO the reason
why 1t was impracticable to supply the
troops in the field with beef on the hoof
Yet even his statement of the case leaves
much TO be desired by a public anxious to
know why this method was not adopted in
preference TO that of sending chilled and
canned beef. He said that it would per
haps have been practicable TO send cattle
with the army to Cuba, but the landing OF
them would not have been tustifiable" Az
The Star stated in its report of the testI-
mony. the witness "hazarded the opinion
that, in view of the obstacles 80 par cent

officer, with no particular claim to expert

army. He could not do more than reflect.
unOficially. the views of the commissary
department. But his testimony is interest
Ing in that it shows how far from definite
ness on this point is the evidence thus far
sdduced- There are two reasons which
may be surmised to explain why the land
ing of the cattle would not have been jus-

Gnssin About General Gomez:

The letters and dispatches from Cuba just
now give d good deal of space to gossip
about General Gomez His movements are
described and his future is discussed at
length and with some freedom. He is, of
course, an interesting man and fair game
for popular speculation, but it is 10 be
doubted if there is much or any authority
for some of the reports now current as to
his purposes.
At present General Gomez is aiding in the
arrangement for the disbandment of the
Cuban army. 1t is important service which
the American authorities highly appreciate.
1t Is such service, indeed, no other man
in Cuba could so satisfactorily render. The
Cubans who bore arms during the insur-
rection are stiH devoted to their chief, and
are following his suggestions faithfully.
They have stood by him as against the So
called assembly, and are now preparing to
lay down their arms and return to the
pursuits of peace. When this work is COM
pleted General Gomez will then be called
upon to consider his next move.
He is quoted as desirous of returning to
his home in San Domingo and spending the
remainder of his life in peace and quiet.
1t is a natural feeling. 1t might be the
wisest course he could follow He is an
OIu man anu Has seen d SOOu zeal Oh SlTlle-
He is born soldier but the end for which
he has SO long struggled has at last been
attained. The Spanish power has been de-
stroyed in Cuba, and the people of the is
land with whose distresses he has so long
sympatnized are at last to know the bless
ings of good government His fame is Sc
cure, and there appears to be every reason
why he should take his ease in his old age.
To those who seeking to play upon his
ambition and to induce him to remain in
Cuba and stand for high civil office he may
find reply in the same spirit which animates
Admiral Dewey under a like temptation.
The American sailor declines with dignity
the overtures of the politicians. He tells
them that he lacks experience for civil
office and has no desire to enter the field
of politics. 1t is very wise decision, and
one that any sailor or soldier of distinction
in similar circumstances may study to ad-
vantage. The camp and the quarterback
are not schools for turning out leaders for
civil affairs.

That Boston Comprehend Meeting.
From the Chicago Tribune.


The audience was made up apparently
OF the solid men of Boston," They are
the individuals who have Kisses for Nc
Kinley and hurrahs for Agunaldo Their
pulses are not stirred by the name of the
admiral who sunk the Spanish ships at
Manila, but the blood flows quicker through
their veins when the name of a fugitive
half-breed Malay is mentioned. Are these
the men whom Massachusetts breeds nova
days-men who hate Presidents and adTni-
rails who serve their own country, and
whose sympathes go out only to their
country's foes? The copperh eads, of the re-
bellion, who hooted Lincoln and cheered
Davis, have imitators in the Boston mug
wumps. Patriotism in Massachusetts seems
to be confined to those whom the mug

1t Has Been Followed,
From the London Chro nicle.

The American troops have won another
series of engagements, although their loss
strikes US very heavy, and we doubt
whether the results are conclusive. What
America has to guard against is guerrilla
warfare such as broke down the Spanish
organization in Cuba, and the only way
of guarding against that is the driving of
roads through the heart of the country,
and the penning of the insurgents in cor
ners from which they cannot escape.
Otherwise the states may have to deal with
an ever-retreating but never wholly van
quished foe, whose main reliance will be
on General Fever rather than on General
Aguinaldo. This advice has We believe,
been rendered to the American military
authorities and we have doubt it will be
followed.

War Pay for the Philippine Army

1t is announced that the proclamation of
peace with Spain operates to restore the
army now in the field TO a peace footing
thus reducing the pay of the enlisted men
ana diminishing somewhat the allowances
of the officers. AS far as this relates to
the men stationed in this country and TO
those doing garrison duty in Cuba, Porto
Rico or Hawaii this change operates fairly,
for such troops are not exposed to unusual
danger or hardships. But it assuredly
seems unjust to restore the troops now serv-
ing in the Philippines to a peace" basis
when they are in fact doing the work of
war and exposed in addition TO a rigorous
climate Indeed the army reorganization
bill, approved March . was so clearly in
tended TO provide continuation of the war
making means for the purpose of the Phil
ippine campaign that it seems entirely
within the province of the administration
to hold that for the purpose of rating the
pay OF the soldiers state of war exists in
those Islands. There is no specific provi-
sion in this regard but the entire intent of
the act is in conformity with the sugges-
tion. The brave fellows who are fighting
General Otis battles should unquestionabIv
get all that is coming TO them.
