Fate of a Deserter.


An army officer told me some time
ago" said Walter Durant, of San An
tonic, Tex, yesterday at the Hoffman
House, that the negroes make splen-
did soldiers, but that care has to be
taken in giving them orders, as they
obey commands literally. With an
American or Irishman, the officer said,
you could allow yourself some latitude
in the form your command took, but
with negro never. With him you
must say exactly what you mean.
neither more nor less; and to illustrate
what he meant he told me the follow
ing story: On one of the frontier posts
of the Southwest it so happened that
certain captains clerk took it upon
himself to go on a drunk at a time
when his services were needed. It was
during the summer, when the desire of
the clerk for the joys of the jag led
him to leave his superior in the lurch,
and the Captain in consequence found
himself compelled to make out the
muster rolls. He was at work on these
il his tent one particularly hot after
noon; the thermometer registered
something like 100 degrees, and the

Ored), entered and respectfully inform

the Captain in undisturbed possession

teen minutes later he returned and re-
ported, Dat dab Gawge Washington

gasped out the astonished officer
Done shot, sah,' replied the sergeant
He was low, no count, POI white

that the Captain was perturbed by the
news conveyed, but he was a man o.

The fact that a German gunboat is
surveying Macao harbor may mean
much or little, as events shall shape
themselves. What if Germany had
agreed to let Great Britain have Lou
renzo Marquee if Great Britein in turn
would let Germany buy Macao from
Portugal? That would be very pretty
real estate transaction and perhaps not
a troublesome one.

We commend to the Boston Herald
these comments of the San Francisco
Chronicle OF the manner in which the
plague has been handled in Honolulu:
THE methods adopted were heroic, and
the cost Is estimated at million dol
lars. The sanitary regulations which
the afflicted city enforced with a des-
potic hand undoubtedly saved it. They
involved the destruction of heinsani-
tary rookeries occupied by the AsiatiC
colony. a thorough securing of the un-
clean places. a daily inspection of every
inhabitant. the quarantining of every
suspect and the isolation and careful
treatment OF those afflicted with tn,
disease. II the Government of India
the home OF the bubonic plague-coult
only apply similar sanitary methods L
the native population and their habita
tons, the disease could no doubt b.
stamped out there also and the human
race at large would be benefited, but tn
prejudices of caste and the religion
superstitiOns and practices OF the ma
tiyes in India operate as an effectiv
barrier to the application of thoroug
sanitary measures. Modern civiliza
ton may in time break down the pre-
udices and superstitions Of the Hin
docs and Mussulmans, and then Indi
viii cease to be an Oriental pest-hous,
Honolulu has suffered seriously froI
the brief visitation OF the plague. bt
the energy and intelligence OF its pee
pie have saved 1t from a much create
calamity"
