-Four Widows Of the First War with In

St. Louis, Feb. 27.-The Globe Dem
Ocrat's Washington correspondent
says: -Four widows Of revolutionary
veterans are still on the pension roll,
although the war of the revolution
ended 40 years ago. They range in
age from So to 90. Seven daughters
Of revolutionary soldiers are still
drawing pensions. Of the S69, OOO, 900
which has been paid in revolutionary
pensions $4,000, 600 was drawn by
widows. One pensioned survivor Of
the war Of 1912 remains. He is Hiram
Cronk, 90 years old, and his home is in
northwestern New York. The last
pensiOned soldier OF the revolution
did not die until 1869. He was 100
years six months and eight days old.
He lived in Freedom, n. Y. More
widows than soldiers of the war Of
1912 were PensiOned. In that war &c.,
go soldiers served 90 days or more.
The pensiOned were $4,000 soldiers and
$4,000 widows. To the sole survivor
of the war Of 1912 the government is
now paying S193 a year, and to
widows of that war S293, O97. To Mex
lean veterans the payments now are
S1,1O7s 594, and to widows Of Mexican
war soldiers Ss1s, O67. On the union
side the enlistments for the civil war
were 2,77s, 1874. OF these there died in
service 349,944. The pensions paid on
account of the civil war amount to

NATIVE POLICE FOR ISLANDS.
War Department Will Follow Plan
Outlined BY LawtOn for Filipinos.
Regular Troops VIII he suPPIanted By
Friendly NATIVES, Omcered By Amerf-
eans-Cuban Soldiers VIII soon Be
Given CoEt-oi or That Is. and.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Before his
death and after giving much thought
to the subject, Gen. Lawton had
worked out plan for the mainte-
nance Of order In the Philippines, after
the close OF actual war, which had
been submitted to Gen. Otis. and IS.
presumably, the plan which viii COM
mend itself 10 the war department.
when the time comes to replace the
regular troops by other forces com
Petent to preserve order. Gen. Law
toms idea was to create a force of
native police whose officers. at first in
all grades, and finally, as conditions
improve, in the upper grades alone,
shall ali be Americans. Some such
force as this is now successfully ap-
piled in Cuba by Gen. Wood under the
cOgnOmen of rural police.
Because of the similarity Of feature
and figure of the TagaIs, the American
troops have had great difficulty in dis
tinguishing one individual from an
other; in telling friend from foe. In
deed, there Is a story in circulation
among some of the army officers who
have Just returned to Washington
H Jill -AAcLilt Allttl the army dCludllF
captured AguinaldO in Cavite prov
inee, put him in Jail for - days as
suspicious amigo, and then released
him only to hear Of his identity after
he had gotten away. The ability Of
the Philippine leader to make up as
Chinaman or Chino" as they are
called in the Philippines, is said TO be
remarkable, and only a fellOw-native
is able TO penetrate such disguise.
The Army in Cuba o Iis Reduced.
Washington, Feb. 25.-It is under
stood 10 be the purpose of the war de
partment in carrying out its already
announced policy of reducing the
force of American troops in Cuba. to
begin within six weeks the reduc-
tiOn of the present force of 1000 to
about 5000, which limit viii be
reached by the beginning OF summer
The proposition is under cOnsidera-
ton to organize three complete Cuban
regiments with Cuban officers to re-
place the United States in garrisOns
and to form the nucleus of the Cuban
army. which would exist when the is
land passes from the United States
control.

Porto RIcans Have S,BOO,OOO Pounds of

They Want q Market for It

Washington, Feb. 27.-Secretary
Root sent to the senate a letter from
Gen. Davis, with a petition from Porto

United States. In the letter which is

tons with the United States, 50 that
some market be found for not only
the surplus crops of 1898 and 1899, but
also for the matured crop of 1900. The

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Till

speech In the senate when the bill for

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 25.-Tennes-

welcome here Saturday. Prominent
democrats from all over the state

nacle at night. In accordance with
Mr.. Bryan's wishes he was taken to

of the time and place of holding the

NOT FOR M'KINLEY THIS TINE
The Chicago Chronicle and Gold Demo
Grats VIII Support the Regular
Democratic Nominee.

Chicago, IL, Feb. 2.-The Chicago
Chronicle, which in 1896 was the chief
gold democratic newspaper in the west,
says to-day in double loaded editorial.
@Msrk Hanna has parted from his
bogy. There can be no excuse for
democrats giving aid or eOuntenance
to his man Mckinley. It is now the
boast Of a republican correspondent
that, the senate having passed the cur
rency bill by an overwhelming majority,
the financial question is remOs ed in
de1nately from the political campaign,
because even if the opponents Of free
coinage we're to endeavor TO undo the
work Of this bill they would euter upon
stern chase which obviously is a long
one. They would not be able, even
with silver majority in the house Of
representatives to repeal this law for
at least six years. 1t will be idle, there
fore, on the part of Mark Hanna to
raise the cry, wolf Wolfp Nobody
viii heed it and time will afford the
large number of gold democrats who
elected Mckinley in 1896 to give their
undivided attention to chastising that
sTbe democrats who in 1896 made Nc
Kinley's election possible are now thor
OUghly ashamed Of the part they had in
elevsting to the chief magistracy man
with whose general political sentiments
they had so little in common and are
likely very glad to accept the hint of
Hanna that he has no further use for
them.
The currency matter is no longer an
issue. Mr.. Mckinley will come before
the country as the wObbly champion of
protection, sO-called; as the particular
friend of British aggression against re
pu6lics Of Dutch origin, as the friend
and defender Of trusts and as the orig
inatOr Of an imperialistic policy which
condemns the declaration of independ-
ence and seeks to give a new character
to the republic of North America.
"As such democrats cannot but con-
denim him.
Three years of Mckinley have dem
Onstrated that to prOlOng his term
would be undesirable, perhaps fatal"

ENGLISH OFFICERS KILLED.
Not as Special Marks of the Beers as
Has Been Commonly
Supposed.

The men carried nothing but their
arms, their water bottles and a water
proof rug and blanket for each. The
officers were similarly equipped. says
Scribner's, actually carrying rifles, so
that they can be in no way distin-
guished from the men. Something
must be done to reduce the terrible
mortality Of officers experienced in the
first two fights in Natal In reality the
high percentage of officers killed is due
to the fact that they must Of necessity
expose themselves more than the men
under their command, and with the
enormous amount Of lead poured into
an advancing force by the modern mag
azine rife the officers, who are stand
ing up to direct their men, run ire
mendous risk of being hit. In small
skirmishes, however, it is possible that
the good rife shots on either side can
pick their men carefully, so that the
absence Of a distinctive mark may
prove to be Of value to officers. In any
case, there can be no harm in making
the experiment Of arming them with
rifles, though in the long run their
losses are not likely to decrease to any
extent.
It is one Of the myths Of war that
the enemy pick of officers, Just as it is
a common legend that the enemy,
whether he be Boer, Spaniard. Turk or
any other infideI, is in the habit Of aim
ing at wounded men and using explO-
Bive bullets.

London, Feb. 2s.-Four morning
newspapers publish an interview with
Z. S. GrOgan, who has just reached
here after a two years trip from Cape
Town to Cairo. The interview tells
lurid tales of cannibals near Lake
Tanganyika. who had eaten up a
whole province full of people. Skulls,
bodies of infants and lakes of lava
were constantly before Mr.. GrOgan
and he criticises the Belgian govern
ment for the misrule and employment
of cannibals.
