Extra Pay for Army Officers in Cuba
Discussed by Corbin.


NEW YORK. April 22.-Adiutant Gen
eral Corbin spent Sunday in New York.
returning to Washington tonight on the
train which carried the President. At the
Hotel Manhattan this afternoon General
Corbin was asked what was the meaning
OF all the talk in Congress and out about
special allowances made to Army officers
in Cuba
There is something in it. but not much,
he replied. You remember when General
Alger was Secretary Of War he visited
Cuba. Well, he had been in Havana only
a short time when he noticed that General
Brooke and General Ludlow had a lot of
entertaining TO do. Brooke was living at
the palace formerly occupied by the Span
ish Governor General and he had as his
guests General Garcia and all his staff.
Other Cuban officers were the guests Of
General Ludlow. These officers had to
stop with one Of these two officers The
etiquette OF the country demanded that
such officers be entertained when in Ha-
vana by the Governor General Of the ISL
and or some other high officer represent
ing him. The Spanish Governor General
had always done it and the Cuban generals
expected as much from his successor.
The Cubans were very sensitive about
the attentions paid to them and ii was not
a time 10 do anything to needlessly wound
their feelings. Neither General Brooke nor
General Ludlow complained about the calls
made upon their private purses-they had
no other fund to draw from-for entertain
ing. but General Alger saw at once that the
drain upon them must be heavy. When be
returned to Washington he said to me one
day.
II Brooke and Ludlow are compelled to
keep up this entertainment much longer
they will not only spend all their salary,
but they viii be bankrupted. I'm going to
DO something for them. I am going to au-
thorize Brooke TO draw $500 a year and
Ludlow 5000 out Of their insular fund. Its
not fair to compel Army officers to use up
all their salaries and more too in the ne
cessary entertaining Of persons who are
righuully the nations guests.
Il did not favor the idea. but the Secre-
tary went ahead and later an allowance Of
$1,000 a year was made to Colonel Bliss.
the collector Of customs. and an allowance
Of Sl.5C0 10 Captain I-add. the treasurer Of
the island Colonel Bliss said he did not
need TO do much entertaining but he did
need a carriage and few other things.
and he estimated that they would cost
about Sls00. Therefore his allowance was
cut from $1,000 to S1S00 His allowance
and that Of Captain Ladd still continue
and the allowance made to General Brooke
is now made TO General Wood. The post
Of military governor Of Havana City hav-
ing been abolished with General Ludlow,
nobody draws the S.. coo allowed to him.
Il went over the matter with Secretary
Root. and he concluded not to revoke the
order Of his predecessor, but he did decide
not to make similar allowances to any other
Army officers Consequently officers in
Porto Rico and the Philippines have no
such allowances"

REBUILDING LINCoLN's TOMB.
Its Reconstruction Made Necessary
by Improper Foundations.

by improper Foundations.
SPRINGFIELD, H.. April 22.-The work
Of rebuilding the monument Of President
Abraham Lincoln in Oak Ridge Cemetery.
is now going on. The monument was he
gun in 1863 and completed in 1871, under
the direction Of the National Lincoln
Monument Association, OF which Richard
j. Oglesby, OF Illinois. was president.
After it was built it was discovered that
the foundations were badly laid This ie-
suited in great gaps in the masonry,
crumbling walls, and distortion Of arches
that threatened TO destroy the monument.
It was, therefore. decided to ebuild and
the Illinois Legislature has appropriated
500 600 for that purpose.
While the design of the Old monument
may not conform 70 the present standard OF
artistic taste these who have the rebuild
ing in charge concluded to make no change
except 10 add sixteen feet to the height Of
the original shaft which was always
thought not quite high enough
Almost the first work in the dlsmantlEg
process was the removal Of the bronze fig
ure Of Lincoln and the groups Of statulry
representing the various branches of the
Army and the Navy. as they existed in
civil war days. Each group weighs from
chinery was adjusted they were swung
easily from their positions. lowered to a
low truck car. and pushed away 10 a re-
mote spot in the grounds Stone by stone
the memorial structure was taken down
until the catacOmb was reached and the
caskets containing the bodies Of President
Lincoln his wife, and their children were
lifted from the vault and laid in the tenn
porary tomb near by, which will shelter
them while the rebuilding goes on
There were very few to witness this
ceremony. The Lincoln Monument Asso-
citation Of recent years was represented by
two members. Three members of the Lin
coin Guard Of Honor. two of the present
board Of control the State Treasurer ard
Superintendent Cf Public Instruction Of
Illinois the Adiutant General Of the State.
the Department Commander of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, the custodian Of
the Lincoln Monument, and a few chance
spectators comprised the group The
leaden casket containing the body of Mr.
Lincoln was enclosed in a cedar box
already much decayed. From this outer
box the rusted nails had dropped loosen
ing a silver plate upon which was en-
graved. Abraham Lincoln. sixteenth Pres
ident United States. Born February T.
1903 Died April Is. 1865" The clsket
holding the body OF Mrs Lincoln was
placed beside that OF the President The
other members OF the family buried here
were Mr. Lincolu's sons, Thomas. Eddie.
and Willie, and the grandson Of the Presi-
dent. young Abraham Lincoln. who died
in England, while his father was Minister
to Great Britain.

Big Celebration Held Last Night in the
Insurance Building.
The members of Camp s, p. 0. S. or
A.. held a big meeting last night in the
Insurance building in honor Of the pro-
pagation of the order which began just
three years ago and has progressed
steadily until now there are camps es-
tablished in Hartford, Waterbury, Meri-
den, New Britain, Norwalk, and Bridge
port Camp No. has taken an active
part in the establishing Of all the out
of town camps, and it is through the
energy Of it's members that the order is
now In such firm foothold.
Former State President George A.
Johnson was present last night, and
delivered an interesting address show
ing the great work accomplished by the
order all over the state. This was fol-
lowed by the singing Of America. q. B.
Ills then made an address, and he, too,
in another line showed what the camp
in this city has done during the last
seven years. His address was interest
ing and instructive to the members, as
in it were told many facts heretofore
unknown by some of the members.
Arthur J. Willard then spoke on the
order, and some Of It's unwritten work.
The attendance was unusually large,
and after the meeting bountiful spread
was served.

NEW LONDON STIRRED.
Suspension of Girl Students Resented
and They VIII be Reinstated,

Suspension of Girl Students Resented
and They Will be Reinstated
New London, June There is a great
furry in educational circles in New
London owing to the recent dismissal
from school, the Williams Memorial in
stitute, of eight Of the city's brightest
young women.
The students We're suspended for a
short week only but half of the number
had nearly completed their preparation
for becoming ''sweet girl graduates
this month, and the affair has caused
no end of talk about the city.
The trouble was caused by the girls
playing an innocent game of lawn ten
mis- last Saturday with a few students
from the Buckley High school and
pelting rain storm which compelled the
party to seek shelter in the basement
of the institute.
While anxiously awaiting the abate
ment of the storm one of the party sug-
gested a change of quarters, and all
the students assembled to the assembly
room, and were making merry when
Principal Collin S. Buell. Unexpectedly
put in an appearance.
Mr.. Buell. reprimanded the gay party
and informed them that they had brok-
en- the rules of entering the building out
of school hours, and intimated that he
would make an example of them,
After consulting with the female
teachers in the institute, Principal Buell.
decided that he would suspend the girls
for one week.
AS the girls expelled are members OF
some of New London's most prominent
and influential families, the affair caus-
ed such a state of excitement that
meeting of the trustees of the institute
was held last evening and the phases
of the matter relative to the suspension
was discussed, and it was decided TO
send Mr.. Buell. letter with request
that 1t be read to the students.
The students are to be reinstated, and
will return to school next Monday, and
no record is to be made in the school
records concerning the occurrence. This
decision was reached after deliberation.
