MONDAY EVENING. MAY IA, 1900.

THAT THE Mexicans take a more
correct view of the new policy upon
which this country has recently enter
ed. than many OF it's own people do' Is
proved by the following utterance OF
one of the leading newspapers OF the
capital OF their country:
"If the Monroe Doctrine Is to be a
shield for annexation projects, Latio
America will fod it out and Will re-
gretfully have to adopt its own meas
1res for sustaining the great idea OF In
dependence.
The presumptuous assumption OF the
administration that no European ma
ton shall annex any American terri
tory, while it can annex any Euro
peap, Asiatic or African territory 1t
may choose to annex. may be overlook
ed at home, but is becoming provoking
in all foreign countries.

FROM WASHINGTON
Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette. ]
WASHINGTON. NAV IA.

ICorrespo ndence Of the Alexandria Gazette. ]
Washington, May IA,
secretary Of War Root was before
the House committee on military a.
fairs this morning when the army re-
organization bill was taken up. He
ssid the necessity for the Increased
number of artillerymen provided for IN
the bill arose from the fact that they
were needed to man and take care OF
the sescoast defences which deterior-
sted rapidly when trained and skilled
attendance was not available, which is
the case at present. On the proposed
elevation of the adjutant general OF
the army to the rank OF major general
the secretary said he would prefer that
1T should not be limited to the present
occupant of the Office, General Corbin,
although that officer had reformed ser
vices to the country during the last
Two years that deserved recognition.
The plan to give the general command
ing the army the rank of lieutenant
general he endorsed strongly.
The U. 5. Supreme Court today sus-
tanned the constitutionali:y and validi-
ty OF the war revenue tax on inherit.
ances Ia the E. J. Knowlton case, New
York. The suit was brought to recover
the tax paid. The decision declares
that the tax Is not repugnant to the
constitution. The contention that Con-
gress has no right to impose such a tax
is also held to be unsound. Neither is
the uniformity clause OF the constitu.
sion violated, declares the court. The
claim that the imposition OF progres-
Give rate is subversive Of the fundament-
al conceptions of free government Is
held to be untsnable. The statute in
It's language is held to be perDlexing
but not contradictory when properly
construed. The act of 1898 differs from
the act of 1864 only in that 1t adds the
progressive feature.
General Macarthur at Manila cabled
the War Department today that Rob-
ert b. Cramer, first lieutenant, 34th
regiment, D. s. Volunteer Infantry,
had been sentenced by court martial to
dismissal from the service to take ef-
feet April 80. Lieut.. Cramer is the
son-in-law OF Col. Evan P. Howell, of
Georgia, and the brother.in-law of
Clark Howell. editor of the Atlanta
Constitution. 1t was alleged that he
raised money in various ways in the
United States before he went to the
Philippines, but whether this is the
cause OF his dismissal is not known.
The charge against him will not be
known here until the papers in the
case arrive.

lieyed that Roberts will halt at Kroon.
stadt more than two days. General
French ia already pushing forward and
it ia the impression that the British
army will be across the Veal river be-
fore the end OF the week. The cost OF
this whirlwind advance in men and
horses is tremendous. Bloemtonteip,
which was formerly the healthiest
town In South Africa, is now vast hos
pital. 1t is reported that there are
3 800 cases of enteric fever alone. The
nights are bitterly cold and deaths from
exposure are beginning to be reported.
Just what preparations for defense
the Beers are making on the north
bank of the Vaal Ia not known. Some
of the dispatches say that there will be
very little resistance. The report
that the Free Skaters are demoralized
seems to be WILL founded. Those
within the zone OF the British advance

Ladysmith, May 14.-General Butler
and his army of 10000 men are push

for Laings Mex pass into the
Transvaal. Butler has fought success

the Beers have been holding impregna-

Butler will reach Dundee today.
Pietermaritzburg, May 14-Buller's

Beers in northern Natal began

Stone Hill Farm, north of Helr-
makaar, says that Helpmakasr was
occupied by the Br fish yesterday
Sunday The Beers opened with a
heavy artillery fire on the British when
the latter were within two miles of the
place. Lord Dundonald's cavalry broke
the Beers center and Bethuen's horse
attacked on the right. The Stone Hill
Farm dispatch adds: "The Beers Big.

AT Hot SPRINGS, Arkansas, the Bsp-
tist convention now ia session there,
loudly applsuded one of the delegates
who said he chopped to God the British
would not be able to subjugate the
Beers, who are struggling against over
whelming odds for their freedom"
Whether the qualification of his hope
would rebound to the real welfare OF
the Beers, is doubtful to many people
familiar with the history of this couD-
try, but there can be little doubt that
the hope of everybody, who is really in
favor of free Institutions, is like that Of
the delegate referred to, and it goes
without saying that the sincere democ'
racy of those whose sympathies are
with the British in their present fight
may we'll be doubted.

Nothing New in the soft-Nosed Shell.

Nothing New In the soIt-NOSeu smell.
Reading, Pa. May 14.-There does
not appear to be anything 30 wonderful
about the soft-nosed projectiles over
which the United States Senate has be-
come so excited. They have been
made here 10 Reading for number OF
years. 10 speaking of this fact repre-
sentative OF the Carpenter Steel Works
said that the projectiles have been made
at the Carpenter works for the past two
years. Through the use of a cap over
the hard point of the projectile bed to
hold the point in place, as it enters the
armor, is formed. This permits toe
proiectile to strike the plate squarely,
prevents glsncing and wabblng, and
serves as lubricant. Capped srmor-
piercing shells, be says, were made for
the American vessels in the Spanish
American war and the making OF them
has continued since. 1t is certainly
strange that the Senate should hold a
secret session to discuss a matter that
has been tried and found to be OF great
value duriog the past few years.
