q TEACH CUBANS.
Americans Who Fail to Show Natives
How to Run PostofHces VIII Go.

WASHINGTON. June 29.-Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General Bristow, who re-
turned to Washington from Cuba last
night. had a conference to-day, lasting two
hours. with the postmaster general. He
made an informal report on the investiga-
ton of Cuban postal affairs which he has
been conducting and gave his views in re-
gard to the developments. Mr.. Bristow
will submit a written report as soon as
practicable, but it will require several days
to complete 1t. In the meantime he de-
clines to discuss any of the facts to be in
corporated in this document. The investi-
cation has been practically completed, but
exact data will not be had until the in
spection of every Office in the island is fin
ished and reorganization effected where il
is found desirable. This work probably
will be completed within a month by the
eight inspectors now in Cuba. Mr.. Bristow
said he knew Of no specific case where an
American In charge of an office has failed
to carry out his instructions that the Gu
ban assistants shall be taught as speedily
as possible to taae entire charge of the
Office. If, as has been asserted, the Amer
leans have failed to properly instruct the
Cubans with the intention of obtaining the
offices themselves General Bristow said the
remedy was simple and would be applied.
As TO the length of time Inspector Fosnes
will act as director of posts and who his
postmaster general had control of that sub
ject. Mr.. Bristow declined TO say whether
or not any further arrests are contem-
plated in connection with the ivestigation.
After the conference with the postmaster
general Mr.. Bristow had half an hours
conversation with Secretary Dick, of the
national Republican committee, who was
one of the first to call at the office of the
fourth assistant. Inspector Maxwell, who
has been assisting in the Cuban investiga-
ton, returned with General Bristow.

SLIPPERY MAN TO HOLD.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION. Ind. June @.-Charles Hans
ley, who is wanted by the Marion con-
stables, has been giving the officers and
farmers northeast Of Marion considerable
trouble lately. A few days ago he was ar
rested on a minor charge while at Van
Buren,, and Constable Collins started to
Marion with him in a buggy. When he
escaped he was wearing a pair of hand
cuffs. He got away from the officer while
the latter stepped from the rig for some
purpose. and for several days officers have
been beating the woods in that part OF
the county for the fugitive. A band Of
farmers also was organized to run down
the prisoner.
This morning the officers heard that
Hansley was staying at the home of Aaron
Londell. i'm Washington township, ano they
surrounded the house. Hansley was caught
as he was on his way down stairs. He
broke away and got into the yard. There.
after a struggle of six against one, Hansley
was finally overcome and handcuffed again.
While his captors were celebrating Hans
ley took to his heels and again got away.
When he came down stairs at the Londell
home he had nothing on but a shirt. When
he escaped he had added TO his wearing
apparel one pair of handouts. The men
started after him again, and the third time
he was captured, only to break away from
them while en- route to the Jail In this city.
The farmers brigade and officers from
this CITY have been after him ever since,
but at a late hour tonight they have been
unable to make the fourth capture. Hans
ley, so far as is known, has no more to
wear thar he had on this morning.

SCIENCE IN EDUCATION.

It's Mission Discussed by DIR. Coulter
at the state Normal.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE Ind, June %. The
twenty-ninth annual graduation exercises
of the Indiana State Normal School were
held this morning in the assembly hall,
with DR.. John NJ. Coulter, of the Chicago
University, formerly president of Indiana
University, delivering the address. There
were several musical selections on the pro-
gramme and the bestowal of certificates OF
graduation to the class of to-day and the
awarding of diplomas to those who have
taught two years since graduation from
the school. DIR. Coulter's address was on
1.-The Mission of Science in Education"
In concluding, he said:
''Those who are accustomed to look a
little beneath the surface before formulat-
ing a statement are very apt to be con-
tent with saying that the study of science
trains in the power of analysis. This is
ground, and suggests a result which is
worthy of every effort. The power of
analysis is one of immense practical i'm
~portance, and the value of its cultivation
will not be denied. To imagine. however.
that analysis is the ultimate purpose of
science is not to go very much farther than
to say that the ultimate purpose is the
laboratory method.
Beyond analysis lies synthesis. and this
certainly represents the ultimate purpose OF
science. The results Of analysis are as
barren as a bank of sand until synthesis
lays hold of them. 1t is just here that a
large amount of science teaching fails, for
to many teachers the accumulation of un-
related facts seems to be the end of scien-
tific study, and the results of the labora-
tory may be represented by a chaotic pile
of brick rather than some definite Struc-
ture dominated by an idea. Almost any one
may accumulate facts, but to relate them,
to distinguish the significant and the in
significant, to recognize that they are
merely external expressions of something
general. belongs to the highest stretches of
scientific training

SICK AND WOUNDED NEGLECTED..
Could Not BE Properly Cared for
whfIe Robert Was Moving.

Could Not BE Properly Cared for
while Roberts Was Moving.
LONDON, June 2s.-When the House of
Commons went into committee of supply
to-day on the supplementary vote for the
army medical service introduced for the
purpose of debating the charge of hospital
m-ismanagement in South Africa made by
Mr. Burdett-Coutts. Conservative member
for Westminster, the parliamentary secre-
tary of the War Office. Mr.. George Wynd-
ham, briefly presented the governments
defense. The allegations as to the neglect
of the sick and wounded were admitted
TO be true 10 a lamentable extent. The dis
abled were exposed. he said. to horrible
hardships, but IL was not due to any stint
ing of supplies. but TO the insuperable diff
culties of distributing supplies. of which
there had been an embarrassing accumu-
lation in South Africa. Every demand on
the government I'm behalf of the troops, he
continued, had been complied with. The
officials in South Africa said the hospitals
had beds in excess of demands. There were
5000 beds In Natal and $500 in Cape Col
ony. There were in South Africa 466 army
and 40 civilian medical officers and $50
female and 5.66S male nurses. besides the
doctors and nurses engaged locally.
Mr.. Wyndham c~ontended that to nave
given a true impression of the state of
affairs existing Mr.. Burdett-Coutts should
have painted a companion picture showing
the difficulties encountered in supplying
5000 troops on the march, which was car
ried out practically under the conditions
of a huge flying column Thu single line of
railroad, with bridges broken, he asserted,
had to carry loo tons daily by order of
Lord Roberts. The army, Mr.. Wyndham
further remarked, should not starve or be
defeated. He concluded with %contending
hat Mr.. Burdett-Coutts's picture rested
on the fallacy that Bloemfontein was a Sc
cure base and hospital, whereas during the
whole period referred to Lord Roberts's
TANKS and communications were threatened
and actions occurred daily.
Mr.. Burdett-Coutts replied that he re-
peated the charges already known and de-
clared that a single days trains on the
railroad TO Bloemfontein would have saved
the situation. But. he claimed. the inter-
ests of the sick and WOUNDED were post
poned for interests which were neither vital
nor strategicaily important. Many resi-
dences occupied by officers. he said. might
have been taken FOR the use of men who
were dying. But presumably they were
not taken because no medical equipment
was available for them. There was not
much use in the government giving the
figures of supplies June Is when the tragedy
was over. His whole point was that Great
Britain was unprepared. He thought the
responsibility rested not with an individual,
but with the system, which was entirely
inelastic or Inefficient.

"Methuen found yesterday that the Boer
laager near vachkop and Spitzkop had
been hastily removed i'm the direction of
Lindley. He followed the enemy twelve
miles and captured 5000 sheep and 500 head
of cattle which the enemy had seized in
that neighborhood. Our casualties were
four men wounded.
Hunter continued his march yesterday
toward the vaal river unopposed. Many
farmers along the route have surrendered.
Springs. the terminus of the railway

a strong belief that it will take from three
to six months to subdue the Beers"
Another dispatch from Lourenzo MARQUES

prisonment tended TO bear out the theory
Of his lawyers that he was insane. Physi-
clans and experts who examined him. how

the hanging was the father of the murdered
girl.
Smell murdered Lizzie Wiezenburger on
Aug. s last. The girl had been employed
at his house, but his actions toward her
compelled her parents 10 take her away
Smell made several unsuccessful attempts
to have Lizzie return. He appeared at her
home early on the morning of Aug 6. and.
going into the bedroom, cut the child's
throat with a razor. causing almost instant
death As Smell turned to leave the room
Mrs. Wiezenburger grabbed him and the
murderer slashed her on the arm. Smell was
captured within an hour after the commits
sion OF the crime At the trial his at.or-
neys pleaded insanity. but he was con-
victed and sentenced to death. A strong
effort was made to have the President COM
mute the sentence to Imprisonment for life,
but he refused to do so. Smell came here
from Georgia. where his aged parents now
reside.

Curiou. Things i'm Sugar.

We
The rise of one-half cent a pound in the
price of refined sugar during the last month
has been attended with some interesting in
cidents and suggests several encouraging
reflections. In the first place, 1t is well to
note that the rise in price marked the aban-
donment of the once arrogant Trusts
protracted effort to crush its competitors
by keeping the price down TO a nonprofita-
bic basis. During that effort the public
got the benefit of very cheap sugar. AS
the competing establishments We're not
burdened with such an inflated capitaliza-
ton as the Trust they won the light. and
the public now has the benefit of competi-
ton in the industry-and another refinery
now projected. If reports may be believed.
Still another encouraging thing. The
Trust in its palmy days prevented the
American people from getting cheap
foreign refined sugars by the imposing of
a very heavy duty on them. We imported
last year ninety-five million dollars worth
of sugar. but less than two millions of this
was refined. With the recent advance I'm
the price. however. foreign refined sugars
are being freely offered here. In other
words, ever with the tariff the limit has
been reached. The trusts are able to juggle
the statute laws. but not the natural laws
that govern trade.
