GREEDY BANDMASTER
How He Was Taken Down a Peg or
Two by Gen. Lawton.
to Play Classic Music for
the DeIectntion of the Hegimenta1
Mules in "a Frontier Post
Corral.
Especial Washington letter.


IA 4 THE army and navy club III
~ this city one may meet with
II Y the leading officers of both
branches of our war power, and the
stories they tell of camp, field and sea
would daily fill volumes.
One of the officers on the staff of Gen.
Miles told number of anecdotes of life
on the frontier thissNfternoon, and one
of the best was about Gen. Lnwton, the
soldier whose prompt advance with the
regulars ut San Juan last July saved
The rough riders and other volunteers
who had been nmbnshed by the Span
iards.
Gen. Lawton's lndian-fghting eX-
periences have often been told abont
since the beginning of the war with
Spain, but these narrations present the
man simply from the point OF view OF
a care-weigh stern, hard-campaign-
ing officer. They do not reveal much OF
his human, everyday nature, and 1t Is
from this viewpoint that enlisted men
whose estimate of an officer is, after
all, perhaps the most to be relied upon
figure out the merits or demerits OF
their superiors.
The passing generation of regular
army soldiers still tell of how Lnwton
once had his regimental band spend n
day playing high grade music for the
delectation Of the regimental mules in
the corral.
Lawton was in command of one OF
the far western regimcnnl posts. 1t
was post that was much visited by the
society people of an adjoining city, and
post hops were given on two or three
nights week The rcgimental band
furnished the music for these hops. The
band was under the direction of II for
cign- born bandmaster, who possessed
considerable contempt for enlisted
men, although his knuckling affection
for the men with the shoulder straps
was notorious. In the army a man pos
sessed of these characteristics is called
n dog robber." Gen. Lawton had n
detestation for dog robber. He en-
dured his bandmaster, bpt he never
gave him any the best of il over any OF
the members of the band. The band
master was obsequous in his attend
unce upon the musical demands of The
posts officers.
One day the enlisted men of the post
decided TO give n hop themselves. A
committee of the soldiers approached
the bandmaster TO ascertain If he would
I've willing TO furnish the music. The
bandmaster at first declined to listen
10, any sort of proposition, but finally
consented 10 give the services of the
band for II nights dancing for the sum
of $40.
"That's whole lot o money, my
wind -iamming friend" said the soldier

Regardless Of Age.

The kidneys are responsible for more sick
ness, suffering, and deaths than any other
organs of the body.
A majority of the ills affecting people to-
day is traceable to kidney trouble 1t Itprevades
all classes of society, in all climates, regard
less of age, sex or condition.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are unmis-
taxable, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, sleep
1essness, pain or dull ache in the back, a
desire to urinate often day or night, profuse or
scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing poisoned
and germ filled blood. Sometimes the heart
acts badly, and tube casts (wasting of the
lidneys) are found in the urine, which if
neglected will result in Bright's Disease, the
most dangerous form Of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root. 1t has a world wide
reputation for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases.
No one need be long without it as it is SO
easy to get at any drug store at fifty cents or
one dollar. You can have a sample bottle Of
this wonderful discovery, Swamp Root, and q
book telling all about it, both sent to you
absolutely free by mail. Send your address to
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
kindly mention that you read this liberal offel

The Rebels, as Usual, Were Driven
on by Our Troops.
Manila, April 12.-At about midnight
the rebels cut the telegraph line at
several places between here and Malo-
los and signal nres were lighted and
rockets sent up along the foothills to
the right of the railroad. Later the
enemy attacked the outposts OF the
Minnesota regiment between Bigaa
and Bocaye, five miles south Of Malo-
los, killing two men and wounding a..
simultaneously the outposts OF the
Oregon regiment at Marilao, the next
station on the way to Manila, were at
tackled. with the result that three
Americans were killed and two wound
ed. The loss of the enemy was ten
men killed and six wounded. The
Americans also captured two prisoners.
1t is supposed that many OF the
rebels who attacked General MacAr-
thurs line of communication and who
we're repulsed by the troops command
ed by General Wheaton were natives
who entered that region in the guise
OF friendlies. They had seemingly Sc
creted arms In several places, and
fired on the Americans from the
bushes at so close a range that. they

THE SAMOAN MIDDLE.
Kautz VIII Be Supported Unless II
legal Action Is shown.

Rautz WIN Be Supported Unless II
legal Action Is shown.
Washington, April 12.-As it has
been strongly intimated in the Berlin
dispatches that the German govern
ment was about to make demand for
a disavowal of Admiral Kautz's actions
1t may be stated that our government
will certainly not accede to any such
request in advance of full knowlegdo
of all the facts in the case and con-
viction that the admiral acted wrongly,
the presumption always being that our
officers have acted with due propriety
until the contrary is shown to be the
case.
If Admiral Kautz found Mataafa, the
self constituted king, with his 13chiefs,
dominating the affairs of the island,
involving the suspension of the func-
tions of the supreme court and of the
municipal council formally and duly
established by treaty, then 1t was his
duty, according to the state depart
ment, to bring the conditions at once
into conformity with the treaty. II
this involved the dissolution of the
provisional government there can be
no legal complaint, 1t is said The
fact that the three consuls at Apia
In a moment of excitement sanctioned
the establishment Of the provisional
government, though regretted here, is
not regarded as affecting the merits OF
the American and British contention.

Washington. April 12.--Major Gem
eral Shafter, who conducted the cam
paign against Santiago, was the prin-
cipal witness before the beef inquiry
board yesterday. He said he ate can
ned roast beef cold and found 1t not
disagreeable. The refrigerated beef
was as fine as any he had ever eaten.
The men who had suffered for lack OF
food had only themselves to blame.
If there had been mistakes congress
was responsible He admitted that he
had never heard of canned roast beef
before the War. While it was not very
palatable in the tropics, he thought II
would be very good in the cold climate
A. A. Kirk, a cook of Philadelphia
City Troop, testified that he saw re-
frigerated beef aboard the Massachu-
sets that had spoiled In Porto Rico
the troop bought its own beef on the
hoof. One-third of the canned beef
he saw was unfit for use. John w
Springer, of New Cumberland, Pa.
who acted as commissary sergeant OF
the Governors Troop of Pennsylvania
gave similar testimony, as did Arthur
w. Feight, of Carlisle. Pa, also of the
Governors Troop. The latter declared
maggots we're found in the beef broth
aboard the Mississippi. 1t made the
men sick.
Lieutenant Alexander Frank, of Gin
cinnati, commissary and subsistence
officer of the First Ohio, said canned
roast beef made the men sick. He had
refused a considerable quantity oi
beef furnished by Armour 1t was
tainted.

Mr.. BRYAN, in his candidacy for a
presidential nomination next year, is
again dealing in a choice set Of epi-
grams, something on the line Of his
famous crown Of thorns and cross of
gold. In one of his recent attacks on
the expansion policy of the Mckinley
Administration he said ''The Re
publican party came into existence in
an attempt to apply the Declaration
of Independence to the black man
it seems likely to go out Of existence
for its refusal to apply the same
principles to brown man-only half
black" In this instance, Mr. Bryan's
epigram is liable to react it's two

Young Carter Harrison, whom
Dick Croker and his Tammany oat-
fit are grooming for place on the
Democratic Presidential ticket,
knocked out, in great shape, both
the Republican machine and the
Bryan apostle in the person of the
famous former Governor, John Peter
Altgeld. The latter's canvass was so
near to the cause Of Organism that
the Chairman of the Democratic
National Committee gave it the com
mittee's endorsement, and yet Dick
Crocker's friend beat him over two
to one. Altgeld is now considered a
feather-weight, even by the Bryan
ties.

AgonciIlo Talking Again.

Paris, April 12.-In an interview
printed in The Patrie yesterday Agen-
clio is quoted as saying: "The Ameri-
cans have fully realized that they will
never subdue the Filipinos and that
the policy of Major General Otis has
completely failed. The Filipinos have
resolved to defend themselves to the
death. They have in their power 1,500
American prisoners. The wet season is
arriving, and fever will soon attack
the American troops and disorganize
them. During this enforced truce we
will increase the strength of our or
ganization."
