PRAISE FROM LEE.
Mastering Out of the seventh Corps Oc-
casion for Friendly Message.


HAVANA, April 18.-The last gen.
eral order issued by Major General
Fitzhugh Lee to his command, the
Seventh army corps, is in part as fol-
lows:
An ord~r has been received which
moves the last regiment of the Seventh
army corps across the sea, to be mus
tered out of the service of the United
States and the ranks of its organiza-
ton will be forever broken. The rec
ord made by the officers and men, how
ever, will be forever preserved on the
pages of military history in which
their country will inscribe their deeds.
No troops have ever won greater
reputation for discipline, drill, manly
discharge of duty, soldierly conduct
and cheerful obedience to all orders.
The presidents assurance that had
the war with Spain continued the Sew
enth army corps would have been Sc
lected to lead the assault upon the Ha-
vana lines proves that the corps pos
sessed the confidence Of the command
err in chief of the army and navy, a con-
fidence shared by his fellow country
men.
1t is gratifying in reviewing the ca
reer Of the corps, to remember the har-
mony which has existed among the
10000 soldiers who answered the roll
call at Tampa, Jacksonville, Savan-
nah and in Cuba, whether it were the
volunteers, who afterwards, at vari-
GUS times, broke ranks and resumed
the duties of citizenship, or the reg
ulars, whose standards, still flying, are
now the advance sentinels of Ameri-
can progress and civilization.
The soldiers of the north and south
took the sunshine and storm of camp
together and marched side by side I'M
der one flag, in one cause and for one
country.
Major General Brooke, governor gen.
eral of Cuba, has approved the plan of
the Cuban general, Monteaguedo, to
establish in Santa Clara a rural guard
OF 500 men, with Monteaguedo as it's
commander and Colonel Consuegra as
second in command.
1t is announced that London syndi-
cate will purchase the Sagua, Cabrie-
rem, Cardenas & Sabanilla railroad.
This will put all the island railroads,
except three small lines, in British
hands.
Commodore Cromwell, captain of the
port of Havana, is settling the lighter

satisfactory manner.

SUPREME COURT RULING
Temporary Marriage Will Not
Protect ViolatorS.
NO MUMMERY IS TO AVAIL.
The ConstitutIonality Of the Law Passed
Recently by the Iowa Legislature
Making 1t Criminal for a Man to Desert
Woman After Marrying Upheld---The
State In General.
Supreme Court Decision.

Des Moines dispatch: An interesting
question was decided today by the SUI
preme court in an opinion upholding the
constitutionality of the law passed re-
Gently by the Iowa legislature, making
It crime for a man to desert woman
after marrying her for the purpose OF
escaping prosecution for seduction.
Upon this point Judge Bishop of the
Polk county district court, who held
that the law was unconstitutional on
the ground that it savored Of class leg
islation, is reversed. Section 4764 of
the Code, the one which is passed upon
in an opinion written by Judge Grang-
er, is as follows: Every man who
shall marry any woman for the purpose
of escaping prosecution for seduction
and shall afterward desert her without
good cause shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and punished according
ly."
The case in which this point of law
is involved is one which attracted con-
siderable attention in this city some
time last fall
R. E. Morris, the editor of country
paper at Runnells, Ia, was arranged
in an east side justice court. Morris
later married the woman in the case,
but shortly afterward deserted her. The
supreme court, in reversing this de-
cision, says upon the question: THE
law as a whole simply says to the man
who thus marries: You shall not as
sumo the obligations of husband to
avoid the law for a crime and after
taking the benefits to yourself disre-
gard your assumed obligations with
impunity' If an ordinary desertion
without cause could be made criminal.
which no one seems to deny, why may
not the same act with the added fact
of having married to avoid prosecu-
tion?"

Iowans In Regular Army,

Several young Sioux City men, most
of them former members of the Fifty
second Iowa regiment of volunteer in
fantry, have gone to San Francisco
and are expecting to be sent to the
Philippines. These young men were
very much disappointed that they did
not see active service in Cuba, but had
to remain all summer at Chickamauga
park. But now they see some chance
of getting a little fighting and they
have enlisted in the regular army, and
are in San Francisco awaiting assign
mept to regiments which are soon to
