BOY SOLDIER STRANDED.
Enlisted at Age Of Thirteen and Ha
Been Half Around the World.

Enlisted at Age of Thirteen and Has
Been Half Around the World.
Over two years ago a little boy OF thir-
teen years was working on a truck farm
near Somerville, n. J. In the latter part OF
May. 1899, he had spent a week planting
corn. He heard great deal about the
Philippines and the war and he wanted to
see 1t all, and he was not greatly attached
to the planting of corn. He finished the Job
OF planting got his clothing together and
early the following morning Sunday. he
stole away to the war and to see the world.
Many boy has started out on a similar
errand but only few of them have sue
ceeded as has this little STRIPPING who has
just arrived in this city after his Journey
ings, which carried him half way around
the globe. The boys name is Frank SAT-
ford Logan, and he was sixteen years old
the 18th OF last July. He has been the
mascot of several regiments during two
years. He came to this city from Philadel-
phla and now he is looking for a job or a
chance to get back to the Philippine Is
lands. which he left only because he was
excluded on account of his age.
Little Logan, who is pale-faced and has
rather contracted girth, was admiring
fennsyivania avenue today. wondering
how he was to get in connection with a
permanent boarding house. He was at
tired In an old army coat and cap. and was
taking very hopeful view of the world.
Nc never SOLe never wanted
Tor clothes. nor for place to sleep since
l left home. said Logan. Il went away
from home May %, 1SS9 and went to Camp
Meade, Pa. joining the 18th Infantry as
mascot Of Company C. then changed to
the 18th Volunteer Infantry, and left the
camp with the regiment for San Francisco
The conductor put me of the train at
Ogden, Utah, but / got on a freight train
and kept up with the regiment.
Il got Into the quarantine at Angel Island
and became attached to Company D, 31st
Infantry. 1 was put in the hospital with
maiarfai fever and later was taken on a
stretcher by some of my friends aboard the
CITY OF Pekin, who desired to keep me with
the regiment At Honolulu Joined the 9th
Artillery, and in three days sailed for Ma
nila.'
Logan was at Cavite for a time with the
"a Battalion OF Marines and was trans
ferred to the outpost half mile from the
insurgent lines All this time he made him
self useful as boy might in doing chores
TOR the soldiers, and they took care Of him
and gave him money.
He was at the battle Of the Causeway, in
which 300 marines and 300 FIiipinos were
engaged. He was then sent to Manila, and
Tor over year was employed as q mount
ed messenger. He was getting alonr In the
world when. last October. an order was is
sued that all mascots under eighteen years
OF age should be sent back to the United
States. and he was landed In San Fran
cisco a month ago. He went to Philadel-
phia and then came here. What he most
desires Is an opportunity to 60 back to the
Philippines.

THE PIER AT SAN JUAN, P. r
CASE INVOLVING THE QUESTION OF
JURISDICTION.
Steamship Company Relies on the
Franchise Granted by the
Military Governor.

Counsel for the New York and Porto Rico
Steamship Company have asked the Secre-
tary of War to defer action in the matter
of the construction of pier for the use
OF this company at San Juan until he shall
have an opportunity to submit arguments
in support of the company's rights in the
premises. The case presents several I'M
portant legal propositions, the chief of
which involves the political relations Of
Porto Rico to the United States. While
the United States was in military posses
sion Of Porto Rico, General Davis, military
governor, granted a franchise to the New
York and Porto Rico Steamship Company
ID build pier in the harbor Of San Juan.
The pier was constructed and was used
continuously up to the time Of it's recent
partial destruction by fire, which occurred
after the island had passed under civil con-
troll. The steamship company began the re-
construction of the pier Immediately, but
had scarcely begun operations when the
municipal government interposed objection
to further proceedings. The steamship
company contended that 1t was fairly with
in it's rights under the franchise granted by
the military government and declined to
recognize the authority of the municipal
government in the premises, whereupon the
latter placed an armed guard at the pier
and refused to permit the work to continue.
To further complicate the situation the
rebuilding of the pier on the ground that
II would cause the harbor to shoal, ana in
that way injure the naval station at that
point.
The steamship company appealed to the
war Department for relief and the engi-
neer department was called on to inyesti-
gate the claim that the pier would be an
obstruction to navigation. The engineer Of
hcers reported that the pier would in no
wise interfere with the navigation of the
harbor, and the question then went back
to the Secretary of War for determination.
The main question at issue was whether
the existing municipal government at San
Juan had the right to revoke a franchise
given by the military government of the
United States. which preceded it in power.
The Secretary of War is in doubt as to
his Jurisdiction in the matter, and is in
clined to allow the steamship company to
fight it out with the municipal government
in the courts of Porto Rico. The pier was
the only one in the harbor, and until its
erection all freight and passengers arriving
at Porto Rico were taken ashore in small
boats and lighters. 1t is understood that
the municipal government recognizes the
necessity for the pier and desires that
its jurisdiction shall be acknowledged only
for the purposes Of taxation. Secretary
Root will probably grant the company a
hearing in a short time.
