Boat Capsized and -Four Lives

ACCIDENT OCCURS ON SPOKANE RIVER
The Passengers Numbered Eighteen. Five Of
Whom Succeeded in Swimming to

Spokane, Dec. 3.-Four lives were
lost here this evening by the capsizing
Of current ferry boat in the Spokane
river. The ferry is about two miles
down the river. 1t was crossing the
stream with Is wolkmen, who had
ended their days work in a construc-
tion camp near the Great Northern g

and it il was swamped. All the men
were thrown in the cold water. Five

on the capsized boat. The waves
ran high and washed four OF them to
death.
When the ferry capsized a man
started off in skiff to the rescue.
Some Of the men who witnessed the
accident say he picked up one Of the
men in the water, but neither the res
cuer nor the skiff has since been seen.
1t was probably carried down the rap
ids. and it is possible that the two
men have reached shore some distance
down stream. Another account says
the boat was swamped by large log.

WEST POINT SOLDIERS.
The New Law Places Them at Disadvantage

Washington, Nov. 30.--It has jnst
been found out that the law which pro.
vides that man who serves two years
as an enlisted man in the regular army
and then, upon passing an examina-
ton, can be made an officer. places the
West Point men at considerable dis
advantage. The West Pointer is oblig-
ed to study four years, and to be good
scholar before he can become a second
lieutenant, while the man who goes
through by way Of the ranks needs only
two years service. II has been COM
mon happening for some Young fellow,
who has secured an appointment in
West Point, after passing the competi-
tive examination. to zee young man,
whom he far outclassed in such exam
nation, be credited with two years the
best OF him in the matter OF years milf
tary service, due alone to the fact that
he took his chances in the regular
army. 1t is understood that such ap-
pointments will be held up as much as
possible hereafter in order to give the
increased membership at West Point
an opportunity to become available for
filling vacancies in the regular army.

western end OF Cuba, the Isle OF Pines
commands the western or Yucatan en-
trance to the gulf and forms an import.
ant outpost for the defense OF the Mica.
ragua canal.
When Secretary Root visited Cuba
he went to the island and recognized
Its stragetic importance. The state
department now holds that under he
treaty OF peace the title of the Isle Of
Pines pas;ed to the United States.
Secretary Root holds a similar view.
The northern side of the island-that
next to the Cuban shore--is admirably
adapted for the purpose OF the govern
ment. 1t is high, thickly studded
with valuable woods and the climate is
so healthy that prior to the war
health resort for pulmonary patients

safe harbor.
