by the Government.
1t Is expected that General Wood will
leave Havana for New York in a few days.
The latest reports indicate a steady i'm
provement in his health, and it Is believed
that a change Of climate will complete his
recovery. The Secretary Of War has given
directions for the repair Of the steamer
kanawha, which has been used by General
Wood for several months past as a head
quarters and dispatch boat. She was for
merly in the naval service and was subse-
quently turned over to the War Depart
ment for use in connection with the ad-
ministration Of the Cuban customs service.
She is steam yacht and Is a frst-class
vessel in every respect. She has been
maintained out Of the revenues Of the in
sular government. and the repairs will be
betrayed out Of the same fund. The re-
pairs will be made at New York The
vessel will await General Woods arrival
at that port and be placed at his disposal
to take him wherever he chooses to go. 1t
Is understood that the plans for General
Woods recuperatiOn contemplate short
cruises along the New England coast and a
season Of rest and recreation at one OF
the northern summer resorts, to be selected
by himself.

1t is the intention of the War Department

CLAIMS OVER A MILLION.

Application of the Central Teresa
Sugar Company Filed.
The Central Teresa Sugar Company Of
Jersey City and Havana has filed a claim
with the Spanish treaty claims commission
for 81, 258, 600 for damages inflicted upon
the company's sugar estate in Cuba by the
insurgents.
It is alleged that the protection OF the
Spanish troops was withdrawn because the
company was an American institution, and
the Spanish commander held that Ameri-
cans were enemies Of his country, and there
fore their property should not be protected
by Spanish soldiers.
The attention Of the War Department has
been called to the action of an officer Of
General Woods staff in Havana, Major A.
D. Schenck of the I'd Artillery, which is
government engaged in defending the
United States in the prosecution Of the
claims Some time ago General Wood was
asked to furnish the government officials
certain information about pending claims.
Major Schenck in doing this, it is said, sent
out circulars under the heading Of the office
of Spanish treaty claims in which he ad-
vised claimants to appear before him with
papers and depositions. and otherwise in
forming prospective witnesses Of proceed
ings likely to follow.
The action was deemed indiscreet by the
legal officers appearing before the commis-
sion, land there has been correspondence
with the War Department, which will prob

Latter Declares War VIII Soon End
and Colonies Will PAY Debt

LONDON, July 17.-In the course Of a de-
bate on the finance bill in the house OF
commons this afternoon Sir William ver-
non Harcourt, liberal, criticised the govern
ment's financial policy, and said those per-
sons believing the statement that the gen.
eral expenditure would fall after the ter
mination Of the war were living in a fools
paradise.
Sir Williams speech. which was through
out undilutedly pessimistic. drew angry in
terruptions from Joseph Chamberlain the
colonial secretary. The latter, In the
course Of his reply to Sir William, took a
sanguine view Of the situation in South
Africa. He said nobody doubted the war
would soon be over, and when the Beers
recognized they had been thoroughly beat
en- and had returned to peaceful occupa-
tons interest on the Transvaal debt and
sinking fund would be easily payable out
of the surplus revenue derived from the
new colonies
The finance bill passed Its third reading
by a vote of 291 to 121.

The Philadelphia Times makes an
earnest plea for good navy yards, say
Ing: "Let us have the navy yards
fitted out for all the work needed and
keep our ships employed and in the
highest state of efficiency. We have
dome enough of pioneer work for othe-
cations with our monitor and turret
construction and tests of modern ord
lance. We can afford to wait until
they show us some valuable lesson,
and then being ready with good navy
yards we can take advantage of it.
That is the kind of preparation we
need as a protection of peace"

Members of the House of Commons

who is properly addressed by name is
the Chairman who presides over the
deliberations of the House in commit
tee. On member rising to speak in
committee he begins with "Mr. Low
ther," and not with "Mr. Chairman"
as at public meetings. When the
Speaker is in the chair, the formula is
"Mr. Speaker, SIR
In debate member is distinguished
by the office he holds, as The Right
Honorable Gentleman, the Chancellor
Of the Exchequer," or by the constit-
uency he represents, as The Honora-

The idea that the husband is the
head of the household by virtue of the
fact that he is man is a survival of
bygone age. 1t won't do nowadays,
exclaims the New York Mail and Ex-
press. 1t is the lingering relic of n
species of domestic despotism which
society long since repudiated. The
real head of the household is the one
who, tJ superior energy, example and
influence. commands the position. The
accident of sex no longer counts. So
ciety gives the fullest recognition to
the successful competitor, and in this
wholesome decree from one of our Fed
eral courts we have The assurance
that the laws shall be equally just and
generous.
