STATE OF WAR EXISTS.
Otis Had Authority to Garry Out Sen

Washington. May Judge Advocate
General Lieber has given an opinion to
the secretary of war to the effect that
General Otis. commanding the division

his legal authority in ordering the dis
missal Of Major George w. kirkman,
FCrty-ninth volunteer infantry, and
three either ohiceIs, in execution of sen

This opinion carries with 1t, by I'M
pIicatiOn. the idea that a state of war
EXISTS in the Philippine islands, as 9TH
erwise. under the army regulations, the
general commanding in the field would
not have final jurisdiction in a court
martial case involving the dismissal OF
an officer of the army.

The Rifle Wins the Battles.

Lyddite shells are evidently a fake to
a certain extent. Dispatches told of how
these sinking explosives were poured
into the river bed where 5000 Beers
were hidden until great clouds of poi
sonous gas arose. But when the be-
sieged surrendered only eight men were
found to be wounded, and few dead,
from a week Of Smelling. While in
trenchments saved the men from the
shells, nothing could have saved the
ranks from being smothered had the
expectations of the British been real
ICED with regard to the effect of the
liberated gas. The lyddite shell, like
the dynamite gun that shelled Santiago,
is good for spectacular effect. The ar
tillery has had its purposes in the cam
paign in South Africa, but has not cap
tured a position. nor made a lombard
ed town %capitulate. 1t has been the
constant dropping of bullets that has
won every fight, and it was not until
the brave Canadians got into a place
where rifle fire would tell on Cronje's
army that surrender came. The whis-
tie of the little bullet Is more terrifying
han the crash Of cannon

The Oil Industry.

The development of oil wells in south
ern California continues to be SO sue
cessful hat there is little chance for the
Standard Oil Company to get in its
work in monopolizing the oil territory.
Hundreds of wells in half a dozen u
ties are producing, and oil properties
and oil company stocks are In great ia
vor with investors. An oil exchange Is
doing business in Los Angeles and an
other in San Francisco. Some of the
companies are paying 2 per cent month
ly upon dollar shares Of stock, and min
ing is not in it when 1t m to in
vestment by people of small means.
Some handsome fortunes have been
made within the last two years by per-
| sons fortunate enough to secure good
| wells, but the enlarged and general OPP
| erations are Of more recent date. The
| Santa Fe-Pacifc railway now pumps a
supply from its own wells at Fullerton
for the railway locomotives, and nearly
all machinery in Los Angeles is I'll by
crude petroleum as fuel. Pipe lines con-
vey the oil to tank steamers, which
transport it to San Francisco for fuel.

The Yaquis appear to have worried
the Mexicans much of late. When they
swept 60 decks of the gunboat Demo-
crata and compelled the vessel to aban-
don a trip up the Yaqui river they
would have won a signal victory but for
being tianked by a force which had been
landed at a lower point. A machine gun
in the hands of the Indians, planted on
the bank of a narrow river, was some
thing the gunboat commander had not
expected to run up against, and he
could not dislodge the enemy by she'll
ing. If the accounts of the engagement
are correct the Mexican forces lost 22S
and the Indians seventy-three. But as
very little truth has ever come out of
Mexico with regard to the Yaqui CAM
paign, this great mortality is probably
exaggerated.
