Editor Journal:
1t might interest some of your
many readers to know that the
End s. G. regiment is now safely
camped Oh Cuban soil. We loft
Savannah on Tuesday, Jan. Sd on
the transport Roumania. Many
of us were sorry to leave Savannah
as we were treated with the great
est hospitality while campad near
that beautiful city. But such is
tho life Of q soldier. He has to go
when Uncle Sam blows his trum-
pct.
Nothing of any Importance oc-
cured during tho trip on the water.
About two thirds Of the boys wore
sea-slck, including myself, but we
felt all O. K. after VIC got over it.
We saw a great many pOrpoise and
flying fish. Thursday night about
al O'Clock we saw the beacon light
on Moro Castle. About II We
were near old Moro, and the mouth

We che0red as we passed and
our band played "Tho Star Spang-

Business Conducted in n Way That
Offers No Attractions.

Prof. f. G. Peabody, in January Forum.
Precisely how one of these companies OPP
crates may be indicated by a single illustra-
ton. Bergen is city of $1,000 Inhabitants,
with great fishing business and a consider
able foreign trade If to the commerce of
Portland, Me- we should add the fisheries
of Gloucester, Mass, the social conditions
along the docks of Bergen would be about
represented. In an American town of this
character we should have either licensed sa-
looms up to the legal limit of number with
every possible solicitation to drink and ev-
cry kind of disorder, or else we should have
an attempt at prohibition, with the braZen
defiance of law and the fiery authorizations
of liquor which are to be found along the
wharves of Portland. In Bergen there are
nine saloons and four wholesale depots. The
company has a capital of $4,000, in four
hundred shares. held by 237 stockholders
zens bankers, consuls teachers, a member
of Parliament and ten women. 1t is not
only part of public spirit to take stock in
the company, but the shareholder has also
some part in determining to what form of
charity the profits shall go.
The Bergen Company happens to be
among the most limited in its scope of OPP
erations. 1t deals with the distilled liquor
business only; and 1t makes no attempt to
provide in It's saloons any element of socia-
biltty or agreeableness. When one enters a
company retail shop in Bergen he finds it
place Of the most cheerless and repeant
character. There are no tables or chairs or
encOuragements for idlers, but simply
counters provided with the small glasses of
the company. measured, like an apothe-
cary s, Tor the exact dose. A customer en-
ters drinks his thimblefull as if of medi-
cine, and at once withdraws. Instead of
solicitation there is the barest permission.
The business is conducted, as it were, under
pl otest: and nothing but the most resolute
determination to drink-a determination
which no prohibitory law would be able to
frUstrate-seems likely to draw one into
these inhosptable dispensaries. On the
walls are various deterrent notices like the
following: mo credit; mo loafing;" mo
disorderly conduct" mo sale to an intoxi-
Gated person. The regulations set forth
that it is the duty of the superintendent not
to encourage, but to check, excessive drink
ing. No liquor can be sold to minors. The
saloons are open from to y in the morn
ing and from 80 to in the afternoon. On
Sundays and holidays they close at ! p. m.
That is to say. the sale stops just when an
American bar begins its best business; and
the prohibition which could not be obtained
outright is obtained for every evening and
every nonworking day. Except at these
stores, it is practically impossible to buy a
drink of spirits in Bergen A traveller stay
ing at the leading hotel and wishing to fill
his flask for the eXigencies of a long jour
rey. must go half mile to the company's
wholesale depot, and must then buy not less
than half bottle of BRANDY

establishments of its kind in the South, had
caused an estimated loss of $4,000 up to

MANILA, Jan. 12.-The situation at Iloilo

they promise to give the Filipinos absolute
independence within a stated time. 1t is
also said that the Filipinos will demand Of

DEWEY AND THE GERMANS.
Major Won SOnnenberg Says There
WINS No Serious Trouble at ManiIn.

Was No Serious Trouble at Manila.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Major Alphonse Won
Sonnenberg, the German military expert,
who was at Manila during the blockade by
the United States navy, after the battle of
Cavte, and who is now in this city, speak
ing to-day about Rear Admiral Dewey,
said:
There were never any honest difficulties
between Dewey and the German admiral,
Won Diedrich there was only theoretical
difference about the Interpretation of one
word in the expression 'droit de visite'-the
right of search. That was the meaning of
'visite,' for the forms of search were differ
ent towards different kinds of vessels
toward merchantmen and ships of war.
But after the frendliest exchange of let
tiers by two admrals an understand
ing was at once reached To show YOU the
spirit that prevailed, 1 will tell you that
the American squadron once received sup
plies of frozen mutton, and your admiral
sent Admiral Won Diedrich a present of half
a sheep. The other returned the compn-
ment by sending Dewey living calf, pro-
cured somewhere in the islands. You see
wanted to begin Shooting at each other.
The English" Major Won Sonnenberg
continued, were at the bottom of this story
of a misunderstanding. All that the English
in Manila could do TO create suspicion ana
trouble between the two countries they did.
from there were telegraphed over the whole
world.
Here is another example of the great
observation-disclosures of Admiral Dewey. When
the COnSulS of various neutral countries be-
came frightened for fear Manila would be
bomharded. the German consul went TO
Dewey at Cavite and asked if he had any
objections to this proceeding: To charter
ing Spanish steamers then lying in the
River Pasig, placing on board the neutral
refugees and anchoring those vessels in be-
tween the neutral war ships. Dewey an
Swered We'll, why not? l do not make
war against women and children Even the
privilege. The only condition made was
that those steamers which. being in q block
AIDED port, belonged by right to the govern
ment of the United States, should return TO
Dewey's hands after the surrender of Ma
Mia. Furthermore, he granted that in
case of a typhoon all these steamers of refu-
gees might come over and anchor with the
American fleet at Cavite."
Asked if German military men generally,
who had seen the run of events at Manila,
held the same opinion of Dewey Major Won
SOnnenberg replied that they did
ing to be the future relations of Germany
and the United States in regard to posses
sions in the eastern archipelago"
Major Won Sonnenburg replied: German
and American interests throughout the whole
world run along parallel lines, and parallel
lines you know never meet. I do not see
how any i'll feeling can arise between the
two great peoples"
Questioned about the attitude OF the ma
tive Eilipinos towards the United States.
Major Won Sonnenberg was emphatic. THE
Filpnos will fight" he said unless YOU
will not lay down their arms until they get
Self-goVernment."

Teaching Economics in schools.

Fl. Hayes Robbins, in GuntonS Magazine.
The civilized world agrees that young per-
sons must learn how to write. to read, to
count and must know the principal facts
about the earth and its people, and the chief
points in history at least of their own coun-
try But men had to live and get a living
before writing or reading or mathematics
were known, and before geography meant
anything more than forest trails and rude
stockades, and before there were any his
torians other than savage caiTn builders. or
nature herself. writing her own story and
blotting out mans. Those We're the times
when men lived fought and labored each
for himself and against the other. But men
needed TO understand each other. and Ian
guage appeared and each generation taught
ii to the next They needed to trade with
each other, and mathematics appeared and
was handed on down They needed to live
together. and government appeared, and was
learned by the young men from the fathers.
And now We have come to the point where
we have to work together for the very
means of life, and we are interdependent.
and none can exist alone. This is the last
and most important step of all, and only
lately have we been finding out how thus to
work together for the best and completest
good of all. To teach what We have SO far
learned is the next and present duty.

RETURN OF GEN. uLOUs.
He Says the Commission Had Difficulty
in Meeting the Cry ..Mannnn,


in Meeting the Cry 'Mannna."
NEW YORK Jan. 12.-Brig. Gen. ]. w.
Clous, secretary of the Cuban evacuation
commission, arrived from Havana to-day on
the Ward line steamship City of Washing
ton. He was accompanied by his secretary
Lieut.. Reon Barnes. and his aids, Capt. b.
E. Calhoun and Capt. James Hart General
Clous brought with him several large boxes
containing the records of the commission,
war relics and small cannon. The cannon
came from Havana and was captured from
the British by the Spaniards in the seven
teenth century. Speaking of the work of
the commission, General Clous said:
I'VE We're treated rather coldly at the
first but both the United States and Span
1sh commissioners We're soon ON rather good
terms. or course, We had the Spanish
manana! to overcome. We expected to get
through cur work much sooner than we did
but the cry was always 'mananai 1t was
only by the most persistent work that on

as it has in Santiago. The charitable or

Spanish soldiers in the Havana hospitals
me health OF our own troops continues
good.
When asked his opinion regarding the con-
centrauon OF customs receipts at Havana,
General Clous said: The island should he
run as whole. If the receipts in Santiago
are sent 10 Havana, Santiago will probably
receive back its share"
