The accident happened as the children
were going home from school. Thirty of

be fun to get some of the sticks and see
what they could do with them
No one saw the boys take the stick of
dynamite, but the crowd Of children

General Corbin and Possibly Secretary
Root Win Make the Trip.

New York, March ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says: At the
present time there seems no doubt that
General Corbin will make the trip to the
Philippines although Mr.. Roots mind is
not yet fully made up, nor can it be I'M
til he knows the condition of the public
business after he reaches San Francisco
and feels that there are not likely to be
any unusual demands on him in the war
department to make the long trip to the
Philippines and returun advisable
The trip would keep Secretary Root and
General Corbin away from Washington
fully three months and possibly four.
Leaving San Francisco the middle OF
May on the, fastest transport available
they could not arrive in Manila before
June or 8. 1t is their purpose to stay
at least month in the Philippines. 50
that they could not start for horne before
the first or second week in July, which
would land them in San francisco IN
August.
The principal object of the trip is to
give Secretary Root and General Corbin
an opportunity to study the military sit
uatiOn in the Philippines at close range
so that they will be better prepared TO
deal with the problems Of military man
agement and administration IN the arch1-
pelago as they may be developed In the
future by the rapidly changing cond1-
lions.
The adjutant general keenly realizes
the necessity of an intimate acquaint-
ance with the topography ana otner
physical features of the disturbed as
tricts in the archipelago, so that he Will
be prepared to grasp quickly from the
skeletonized, cable reports that reach his
office regarding the operations of the
troops in the field what the meaning OF
the vancouver is and approximately
what result has been attained by the
rout or capture of the marauding bands.
The important matter of camp and
garrison sanitation will be fully looked
into as will also the ration best suited
to Americans suddenly transferred to
the tropics. The subject of supply and
transport will also be rigidly investi-
gated, with the view of securing the best
possible service at minimum of cost.

Bronze Tablet Erected by U. 8. in
Memory of British Consul

Washington, March 26.-The handsome
bronze tablet to be set up by the navy
department at Santiago in memory of
the late Frederick Woolaston Ramsden,
has just been finished at the Washing
ton navy yard, and is now ready for
shipment. AS consul general of Great
Britain Mr.. Ramsden rendered conspic-
uous aid to Hobson and his little band
of heroes by way of alleviating their
sufferings during imprisonment. This
work, together with other deeds of IN
selfish devotion told upon Ramsden's
health and caused his early death.
The tablet, which is chaste and simple,
was designed by Mr. Robert G. Skier
rett, of the navy department, and bears
the following inscription:
Here lived during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, Frederick w. Ramsden, con-
sui general of Great Britain. He died at
Jamaica, August TO- 1898.
1.-The navy department of the United
States in token of his humanity to Ameri-
lean naval prisoners, erects this tablet
to his memory
General Wood, to whom the tablet will
be shipped. will attend to the work Of
having it fixed to the house in the SUI
burbs of Santiago occupied by the la
mented Ramsden. A replica is to be kept
at the naval academy in Annapolis.
