Next Senate.

Washington, March S--All OF the NOM
nations Of army officers for brevet com
missions for gailantry during the Cuban n.
Porto Rican and Philippine campaigns
failed OF action on the part Of the Senate.
II Ii believed at the war department thai
this resulted from lack Of time and not
from any intention on the part Of any
considerable number of senators to deny
this purely honorary recognition of the
courage of our soldiers.
Altogether there were 625 of these nom-
nations. The number appeared to be IN
reasonably large to persons who had mt
looked into the conditions. but each case
was made the subject Of critical exam
nation by a special board which has
vouched for their merits.
One Of the members of the board de-
clared that the fact that the board found
SO many soldiers worthy of reward for
gallantry should be a matter of pride for
the American people rather than a cau.ie
for criticism. for II went to demonstrate
that the army was approaching very near
that ideal state when every man on the
firing line was both brave and gallan,
Probably the entire list OF brevets will
be again nominated TO the Senate at the

menda tons In cases which have not been
officially reported owing to any cause.

Howard 3. Smell, the junior member of
the firm of Nudd & Smell, undertakers, OF

from his partner, f. d. Nudd. who is now
in Cuba stating that he had closed a
contract to care for the bodies of the Gu
ban soldiers who fell in the recent wars
in that island. with a number of wealthy
Cuban families who had relatives in the
Spanish Cuban and American-Spanish
war, and who are to act as body in hay
ing the work done.
The plan of having the bodies cared 70"
by some undertaken has been under con-
sideration for some time. 1t was first
mentioned to Mr.. Nudd while he was in
Cuba for the first time caring for the
body Of Sergt. Stewart of Maine, who
died from typhoid fever during the Amer
ican-Spanish war
The plan talked of at that time was TO
have a number of the more wealthy fam
lilies band themselves together and fur
nish the necessary funds for the care of
the bodies. Mr.. Nudd's work excited con-
There was at that time a general desire
of the families to have the remains OF
their soldier relatives cared for and the
plan was talked oyer with him c..,
Since Mr.. Nudd has last been in CUBA
the plans have again been discussed ana
it was decided that the families should
jointly pay the expenses for having the
bodies carried back to their native places.
1t is estimated that there are something
like 1900 bodies of Cubans To be cared for.
These are scattered all over the island.
some on the coast. where the battles were
fought, and som in the mountains. where
they had been driven by the Spanish SOL
diers during the Spanish-Cuban war.
The graves of a great many OF the SOL
diers are marked in much the same man
ner in which the graves OF American SOL
diers are marked that is. by either a
slip of paper in bottle, or by b9asd
on which is the name of the soldier,
placed at the head of each grave. AS
there are so many Of these graves. the
work will take a long time.
One of the terms of the contract is tnat

Modern Guns.

Washington, March S.-A fact in con-
nection with the regulars who are now
reinforcing General Otis in the Philip
pines that is giving considerable salts
faction to the war department., is that
they are armed with the 'calibre 30"
rifle, commonly known as the "Krag
JOrgensen."
There has been uneasiness over the
fact that the Filipino sharpshooters.
armed with Mausers could lay out Of
range of the Springfields. with which
our volunteers were armed and shoot
them to an extent that was limited on
ly by the bad craftsmanship of the
natives.
This was not only the source of a
good many casualties among our
troops. but had bad moral effect on
them since it was very trying to be
continually under fire from an enemy
who kept directly out of range.
With the arrival Of the regulars this
situation will be completely changed.

Chief Paymaster Smith is paying the
officers In check which are subject to
the local discount of ! per cent. The
officers complain. but the bankers will
not buy checks on New York at par,
exchange going the other way. 1t
costs more to transfer the money from
New York to Havana than from New

The. North American trust Co. has
advanced the government $4OO, 900.
