! WRONG
Major General Merritt Severely
Arraigns the Situation as to
Artillery.
System on Which That Branch
of the Service Is Organized
to Blame.
Artilleryman Held Responsible
for Work, but Has No Choice
of Guns.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE annual
report Of Major General Wesley Mer-
ri,t, commanding the department of
the East. headquarters Governors
Island, New York have been made pub
lie at the United States war depart
ment. The report is strong arraign-
ment of the whole situation in the ar
tillery branch of the service, being par.
ticularly directed against the ordnance
bureau. and incidentally the quarter
masters department. the latter for fail
ure to furnish what General Merritt
considers proper quarters at artillery
posts.
General Merritt says that the system
on which the artillery is organized is
wrong, in that the artilleryman who is
held responsible for the work he has to
do with the guns. has no voice in the
making or selection of them, this being
left entirely to the ordnance bureau.
But, he adds, that since the engineer
department in the same independent
way furnishes the artilleryman with
his emplacements and there has been
fault to find with this portion Of the
equipment, there must be something
more than the mere system to blame
for the unsatisfactory condition OF AZ
I, fairs.

BRITISH FLYING SQUADRON.

NEW YORK, Oct. IA dispatch to
The World from London says:
The formation of British flying
SQUADRON has created considerable be-
wilderment. 1t is purely defensive
measure and inspired by the bitter hos
tility to England displayed by the con-
tinental press.
The Russian official organs are fore
most in threats and indictments to join
the action against Great Britain. and
though officially Germany proclaims
itself neutral, the German press is Sec
ond only to the Russian in its denuncia-
ton of England's South African policy.
Though not believing at present that
these outbursts of rancor VIII material
ize, the British government ls taking
timely precautions against eventual
tiles.
The difficulty and delay in inobilizine
an army corps for South Africa Is re-
parded as most unfortunate and calcu
lated to induce Great Britain's enemies
abroad to take advantage OF the pres
ent crisis to satisfy old animosities.

THAT ALLEGED BRIDE.
A Relic of the Senatorial Contest
in Ohio.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 29.-Judge Demp-
sey had before him again yesterday the
motion to compel Colonel T. C. Camp
bell to pay into the court the money
which it was alleged was given last
January to Legislator Otis by H. H.
Boyce, who was supposed to be acting
for Senator Hanna when the latter was
a candidate A suit was filed here and
the attempt was made to garnishee the
money alleged to be in the possession
Of Campbell. He appeared in court and
said that the money was in New York,
where it was tied by an order of the
court in suits filed there against Boyce
and that it could not be brought here
without mourning the penalty of the
court there.
1t was also asserted by counsel for
Campbell that it was not the property
of Boyce, but of Senator Hanna This
was denied and it was asserted that
they could not show that the money
ever belonged to the Senator. Judge
Dempsey took the matter under advise
ment John c. Otis is the Republican
member of the Legislature, of Cincin
natl, who claimed a year ago to have
been offered 81, 100 for his vote for Sem
ator. Campbell is his attorney and it
was claimed that H. H. Boyce paid the
money to Campbell. There are some
who deny the story, claiming that the
money was never turned over to any
one or offered to Otis, and suit is
brought both to test the claim, that
was thought to have been made for
effect on the Senatorial contest, and
also to benefit Boyce. The matter was
investigated by the Legislature year
ago.

ADAMS POISONING CASE.
A Young Man Who Claims to Have
Mailed the Package.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Interest in
the Adams poisoning case cenlered at
police headquarters to-day. A story
was current that George w. Koutnik,
a young man living in Hoboken, N j.,
had furnished one of the missing clews
to the police. He said to the police
that on the evening of December Odd
he had met a man at Madison avenue
and Fortieth street, who asked him to
deliver package addressed to Harry
Cornish at the Knickerbocker Athletic
Club
This he refused to do, so he said, but
agreed to mail the package at the gen.
eral POStoffice, which he did Accord
ing to his story, the man from whom
he received the package answered the
description of one of the men promi-
nently mentioned in the poisoning case
Koutnik was taken before the police
at headquarters, and after a conference
Chief McClusky said that Koutnik had
practically repeated the story to the
officials as he had originally told it. He
was thereupon detained as a witness in
the case. George w. Koutnik has, how
ever, been before the public eye several
times before.

CUBANs OBJECT.
Want No Foreign Capitalists to
Build Railroads.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. 29.-The
'Cubano Liber' publishes a long article
setting forth its objections to the pro-
jects of foreign capitalists for working
Cuban virgin SOIL" constructing rail-
roads, establishing electric light plants
and carrying on similar enterprises.
I'VE do not want any one to invest
capital in Cuba except the natives"
says the paper. America is proof of
what monopolists can do in running a
country"
The ball given by the Santiago Club
last evening. was the most important so
cial event that has occurred here since
the American occupation. More than
go were present, representing the prin-
cipa1 elements-American and Cuban
in Santiago society. The United States
navy was well represented, the officers
of the Detroit and Yankton attending.
The health of Santiago was never bet
ter than it is now. Only one death has
occurred within the city limits during
the past five days. Nothing approach
ing this immunity is recorded in the
history of the city. The vultures, which
We're formerly the city's scavengers, are
starving and now pounce on cats and
small dogs-a circumstance very signifi-
can't in illustrating the sanitary condi-
lions
