Utah Battery In Command.


General MacArthurs command was
the second division of the Eighth army
| corps which includes the Twentieth
Kansas CFunston's command) and the
Utah battery. General Macarthur
mentions also a little naval contingent
in the shape of a colt automatic gun
| loaned by the Helena and manned by
Lieutenant Cleland Davis, who volun-
teered with three marines.
Making a brief statement of the TO
sition of the United States troops in
outbreak of Feb. 4, General MacAr-
thur comes to the incidents leading up
to the rupture. He says:
1.-The pertinacity of the insurgents in
passing armed parties over the line of
delimitation into American territory,
induced a correspondence which in the
light of the subsequent events is in
teresting as indicating with consider
able precision premeditated purpose
on the part of somebody in the insur-
gent army 10 force collision"
General Macarthur addressed a note
to Colonel San Miguel of the inSurgent
army. The note. which has now be-
come so important and the answer, are
as follows:
Exchange of Correspondence.
Sir: The line between your COM
mand and my command has been long
established and is well understood by
yourself and myself.
TT is quite necessary under present
conditions that this line should not be
passed by armed men of either COM
mand An armed party from your
command now occupies the village in
front of Block House No. Z. at d point
considerably more than 100 yards on
my side of the line. and is very active
in exhibiting hostile intentions. This
party must be withdrawn to your side
of the line at once.
From this date, if the line is crossed
by your men with arms in their hands,
they must be regarded as subject TO
such actions as / may deem necessary.
Very respectfully.
ARTHUR MACARTHUR,
'Major General U. S. V. Command
ing"
The answer is:
San Juan del Monte, Feb. 2, 1892
Major General Macarthur: My very
dear sir: In reply to yours dated to-
day in which you inform me that my
soldiers have been passing the line of
demarkation, fixed by agreement, l de-
sire to say that this is foreign to my
wishes, and j shall give immediate or

Next came the disregard to the prom
Use. which precipitated the outbreak,
and this is described by General Mac
Arthur in the following language:
AT about half-past s p. m, Feb. 4.
an insurgent patrol, consisting of four
armed soldiers. entered our territory at
blockhouse No. and advanced to the
little village of Santol, which was oc-
cupied from the pipe line outpost of the
Nebraska regiment. The American
sentinel challenged them twice. and
then, as the insurSent patrol continued
TO advance, he fired, whereupon the
patrol retired to blockhouse No. Z,
whence fire was Immediately opened by
the insurgent outpost at that point.

From time immemOrial straw, prob
ably because of its inseparable connec-
ton with bread, the staff of life, has
had a more or less sacred significance.
Our Aryan forefathers strewed their al
tars with it and swOre on it as We
swear on the Bible 1t is easy to under
stand how this practice would lead to
the stalk Of corn being used as the SYM
Dol of n binding contract. For instance,
the Latin for a stalk is stipulatio,
whence naturally comes stipulation.
III medieval times the presentation
of IA stalk CT corn was sign of service
and faith. So, too, at hiring fairs in
later times servants wishing to be hired
carried a straw III their mouths And in
the days when INSCRIPTIONS persons de-
iberately hired themselves out to liti-
gants to give any evidence that was
wanted, they wore straws in their shoes,
from which custom we have the saying
imam of straw"-a person of no mate
rial or moral worth. The horse with
straw plated in his name and tail is
perhaps the last surviving instance of
the significance of straw as implying or
binding contract. a

The Power of shakespeare.

An old Latin saying, Laudant quOd

ed by an English tourist who happened
into the Lutheran church at Elsinore
one Sunday morning The tourist did
not know word of the Danish Ian
guage, but he wrote "The clergyman
had a quiet earnestness of manner and
persuasive eloquence that pleased and

copied this illustration of a common
practice tells the following amusing
story of Dutch audience listening to
one of Shakespeare plays:

THE FINGER Tips.
Their Remarkable Value IE tie Idcn-
tifcatiOn of Criminals.

In detective novels finger prints left
by criminals, preferably in blood, play
an important part but truth seems
stranger than fiction in the fact that
the finger print system of identifying
criminals in India has been made SO
perfect that it would enable any intelli-
gent person in a few minutes to distin-
gish the individual if necessary, from
all other persons now living in the
world, or, if data We're available from
all other persons who have lived since
the creation of man.
The system is simplicity itself, and
there is none Cf the elaboration Of proc
ess or the costly and delicate machinery
required for the anthropOmetric system.
All that is needed is a piece of tin, a
sheet Of paper and some printers ink.
The linked impressions of the ten digits
are taken and filed in the proper COM
partment of the proper pigeonhole and
it is on the classification of records and
their distribution into the pigeonholes
that the success of the system depends.
Every finger mark shows lines of the
"loop, or the "whorl type, and by
simple table of the combinations of
these types in the ten digits /, ,O24 main
classes are made. These are again sub
divided according to minor details, and
the subdivisions can be further divided
ad infnitum if necessary, but with the
table before him any person of ordinary
intelligence can place his finger on the
corresponding card to record in his
l,r MT tar
how many thousand cards there may be-
1t is calculated that the chances are
about GA, 600, 600 to 1 against any two
persons having single fingers Identical
and the chances against all ten fingers
being identical go beyond mathematics

KALAMAZOO.

Have you heard the pretty legend, sad and
mournful and yet true,
OF the brave and duSly lover and the Indian
maid Mahzoo?
How they lived and loved and wandered on
the rivers shady Shore
Happicst of Indian lovers in the days that are
no more?
All day long the maiden labored, weaving
baskets by the stream,
Thinking of her love, her Kahla, weaving him
into her dream;
Then he cumcs-she hears the rowing of his
light birch bark canoe.
"Kahla!" call, she. Cries he, Coming, com
ing to my own Mahzoo!"
All one night she waits in silcncel Sad her
facc-hcr love is dead!
Wounded in the chase, her warrior in tort
night to he wed.
In the morn they find sweet Mahzoo lying
silent in the stream,
Gone unto her lover Kahla ncvermore to
watch and dream.
Still the echoes DER the river may be heard
soft through the air
Echoes of the warrior Kahla and of young
Mah2oO the fair.
All the trees repeat the whisper, all the rip
pies murmur, too,
In the stream that bears their name now
