Stanley Hubbard
turned
Has Re-
And Talks About HIS Cuban Expert
ences.

Stanley Hubbard, a Sonth Portland
boy, has, upon his own application, been
discharged from the hospital corps of
the United States Army and returned
to his home on Stanford street Thursday
evening. Mr.. Hubbard left here about
one year ago last November and first
went to Washington and afterwards was
sent to Cuba where he arrived December
30. During his service there he has
been stationed at various points such as
Cienfuegos, Amaro and Placetos, remain
Ing in the last named place over sevsn-
teen months.
Speaking of Placetos yesterday, he said
that it had been garrisoned for the most
part by the Second United States cav
airy and the military administration
has done much good Tor the place. The
town has been wonderfully improved
and sickness among the natives has de-
creased more than one-half compared
with previous years. During the stay
OF the soldiers there had been but two
deaths among them and one of these was
the result of lightning.
Referring to the sentiments of the peo-
pie on political questions, Mr.. Hubbard
said, that the whites and what might be
called the thigh toned people were
anxious to have the United States con-
troll the island for time at least but
some Of the negroes were clamoring for a
government OF their own-a sort of home
rule.
Mr. Hubbard thought that recently
the whole island had improved wonder
fully. The old plantations were worke d
and many new ones had sprung up
giving the largest tobacSo crop that had
been gathered for years. The cities have
had good overhauling and are now clean
and things generally were so prosperous
that there was no good reason why any
man should die of starvation in Cuba
nowadays. There had been during hi
service in Cuba some small pox which
brokesout in May or June last at Santa
Clara which caused the death of about
23 soldiers and the government aban.
doned the post. He noticed the disappear
ance OF small pox which was SO prevalent
there, four or tive years ago, and attrib
uted the cause to the better health law
which had been established under mill
tary rule. Mr.. Hubbard is suffering
somewhat from sight attack of malaria
incident to a change of climate, but ott
e rwise is enjoying his usual health.

MARCH.
Few persons have any notion OF the
vast length of an army on the march
A single battalion Of infantry 1000
strong-which is the strength of an Eng
lish battalion-takes up road length OF
525 yards, including about so yards for
stragglers. A battery OF field artillery
takes up 200 yards, and regiment OF
cavalry takes up, when marching four
abreast, $50 yards. An army corps, wi tn
its stall, wagons. guns, hospitals, etc. I,
would extend over "a miles, says the New
York Press.
The army marches slowly on the best
of roads. 1t is much more tiring march
ing in a crowd than walking alone
Soldiers go at the rate Of about 21z or 2 q
miles ar hour, and in the English army
they do a good days march when they
cover 13 miles. This accounts for the
fact that when news Is printed of any
army marching to attack, surprise is ex-
pressed that the attack is delayed so long.
1t takes day or more for ali tbs men to
assemble on the battlefield.
The rates of march for the various
armies differ. of course, but the fastest
army has to suit its pace to the slowest.
dere are 6ne Engu6n oIuclal rates. In
fantry in small bodies, three miles an
hour; infantry in large bodies. 211 to 29l
miles; cavalry, walking, four miles;
cavalry, trOtting, nine miles; cavalry,
galloping, 10 miles; artillery, walking,
three miles; artillery, trotting, eight
miles.
In our army the average march for In
fantry is from 10 to 20 miles day. When
troops move In large bodies and particu.
larly in the vicinity of the enemy, the
march is conducted in several columns,
so as to diminish the depth of the column
and to expedite the deployment into line
OF battle. In large commands the roads,
If possible, are left to the ARTILLERY and
trains. When long distances have to be
covered rapidly 1t is done by changing
gaits The most favorable ground is
selected for the double time, but care is
taken not TO exhaust the troops i'm me-
diately before engaging the enemy.

West Baldwin, Sept. l7th.-The recent
rain was welcome. Coming so soon after
the other rain it did more good. The
water supply Is scarce. Some have to bring
their drinking water long distance and
the pastures in some instances have failed
to furnish water sufficient for the cattle.
Quite a number of silos have been
built The hay crop being so short the
last two years has caused many OF the
farmers to raise more corn.
At the present writing most Of the
people are preparing to attend the Fair
at Sebago.

gan today. 1t was postponed two weeks

HE FINDS OPPOSITION
Illinois Congressman Has Heard
Complaints in Alaska About the
Direct Tax - Finest Trip in the
World--Favors More Lighthouses.

Congressman Warner is a believer in the
license tax. To a Seattle Times reporter
Mr.. Warner, who had just returned from
Alaska, said
81 found from conversation with repre-
sentative men that the new Alaska bill is
satisfactory to the people of Alaska, with
the exception perhaps of the provision for
direct tax. That feature of the bill, how
ever, consider inevitable"
In speaking of his recent trip, Mr.. War
ner said:
"Of course we enjoyed the trip, which
! consider one of the finest, if not the finest,
in the world. The scenery is sublime, and
the long stretch of calm, land-locked water
is unsurpassed anywhere.
1--WE were unfortunate in not being able
to approach nearer than five miles to Muir
Glacier on account of the floating ice.
81 found that the high license placed on
the saloons Is practically driving them out
of business, as it was intended to do.
81 am more than ever impressed with
the necessity of additional lighthouses on
the Alaska coast, and do not think the
present appropriation can be expended too
soon.
"Wlth regard to the new bill, it will be
observed that Alaska has the most gener-
Gus provisions for building up an educa-
tional system, which believe is going to
be as good as can be found anywhere"

Post-lntelligencer Of July ~, arrived

Washington, JULY 2I.-Admiral Remey
has cabled the government at Washington
from Taku, that the international advance
on Pekin could not start until after the
middle of August. The news caused con-
sternation here, where it Is still believed
that the dispatch from Conger Is genuine
and that the Iegationers are vet alive but
in desperate peIil.
Two causes are assigned for the delav.
The European powers Believe that the
Conger message is but a beated one and
that it was forwarded from Pekin before
july g. when it is believed the massacre
occurred. Acting upon the assumption
that all the white people in Pekin have
been killed the powers deem it wise to take
matters coolv.
Another reason is lack of harmony on
the part of the nations engaged In suppress

sire that the present status be continued

partition of the empire.

FIFTEEN IN THE LEAGUE
River Steamers Owned by or Hav-
ing Traffic Arrangement With
the Railroad Have an Aggregate
Capacity of24OO Tons.

The Clifford Sifton, which went through
the White Horse rapids from the lakes
Tuesday, has made a traffic arrangement
whereby it is to get freight from the road
at White Horse. This virtually means
the addition of another steamer to the
company's already large fleet now on the
White Horse-Dawson run.
The addition of the Sifton gives to the
White Pass & Yukon route total of ff-
teen steamers plying on the Dawson
White Horse run. The total freight capa
CITY of the steamers is 24Io tons. Tie
passenger capacity of the fleet is 2275.
The round trip time of these vessels be>
tween White Horse and Dawson is per-
haps seven to twelve DAYS, making it
possible for them to transport many tons
of freight In several weeks time of high

nection with the White & Yukon road,
