INCREASE IN SCHOOL
CADET FORCE FAVORED.
URGED BY BOARD OF EDUCATION.
To BE Recommended to the District
Commissioners in the Report OF
President Boynton-Ihe
Halls of the ADcicntS.

Cen H. v Boynton. President of the
Board of Education, is anxious that the
High School Cadet Regiment should be
enlarged At present there are but two bat
talions in the regiment General Boynton
would like to see three more companies
added, so that there would be a full regi-
ment Not only does he favor this ma
al increase in the footing of the school
10y forces, but he thinks that the cadets
should be given practical instruction out
side of tactical drill which would give
them a knowledge of life in the field.
To Teach Cadets Cooking.
The devotion of an hour or so week
to the cadet corps by the teachers OF
cooking, he thinks, would be sufficient to
give the soldier boys a knowledge of pre-
pairing food in the field, which would be
valuable to them in case they ever saw
active service.
Both these ideas are dwelt upon in
recommendation included in the report of
the Board of Education, which will soon
be sent to the District Commissioners.
1t is apparent that some inducement will
have to be offered High School students to
induce then to join the cadet corps. At
present. although the uniform and the
drill proves an attraction, there are not
more than enough recruits to fill up two
battalions. Some of the companies have
a roster that is deplorably light. In case
the recommendation is favorably acted
upon, the tactical Instructor of the cadets
and the teachers will probably be author
izeG to make efforts to create more of an
interest in this branch of High School life.
The IDEA of introducing field cookery is
one which viii probably meet with appre-
citation. The cadets nd have an op-
portunity to apply in practice what they
learned in theory when they 90 into camp

Mr. Maier, in speaking of the situa-
tion, said: "The boys struck at a
wrong time. When the factories start
ed, the matter of wages should have
been decided upon, and no trouble
would have arisen. Now nothing can
be done unless the employers see fit
to raise the wages. A labor organiza-
tion cannot be formed while strike Is
on, but If the boys can hold out an
other week and the trouble is not set
tied before that time, in my opinion,
they

It-s'ould then be advisable for them to
form what is called an association.
The association, when formed, should
select committee of disinterested
persons whose duty would be to settle
any dispute that might arise and also
attend to any business pertaining to
the association"
The three factories were almost
completely tied up Wednesday. Most
of the skilled employees are unable to
work on account of the strike, and it
is possible that the Glass Blowers un-
ion may take hand in the contro-
versy, in case it is not soon settled.

Sandwith had suffered some severe
bruises as a result of his contact with
the pavement. The knee cap of his
right leg was badly bruised.

ORDER SENT BY LONG
In Which Sampson Was Ad-
monished Against Expo
sure Of American
Vessels.

Washington, Oct. 10.-In the
Schley naval court Of inquiry Lieuten
ant Mark L.. Bristol completed his
testimony, begun Tuesday, and three
new witnesses were introduced. They
were Rear Admiral Henry G. Taylor,
who as captain commanded the bat
tleship Indiana during the war with
SPAIN Lieutenant Commander Temp
lin M. Potts, who was navigator OF
The battleship Massachusetts during
that period. and Lieutenant Edward
F. Leiper, who was op the New Or
leans during the war, the last namei
being still on the stand when the
court adjourned until today.
Admiral Taylor related incidents of
the battle off Santiago. July 3, includ-
ing the Brooklyn's famous turn. He
said that none Of the Spanish ships
had made any effort to ram the Amer
lean vessels when they came out OF
the harbor at Santiago.
Commander Potts testimony dealt
especially with the bombardment Of
the Colon. Answering question
from Judge Advocate Len,ly as to the
conduct of Commodore Schley during
that engagement, he said Il was that
of man laboring under great mental
excitement and Of man who was
anxious to discharge as soon as pos
sible disagreeable duty.
Lieutenant Leiper expressed the
opinion that the Spanish shore bat
teries at Santiago had not been at any
time formidable.
Accusation Against schiey.
During Commander Potts examira
ton Mr.. Rayner secured permission
from the court to introduce as evi
dence the order Of Secretary Long to
Admiral Sampson. dated April 6, IN
which he was admonished against the
exposure of the American vessels to
the fire of strongly fortified ports.
The paragraph in that order which
he especially wished to have consid.
cred reads as follows:
"The department does not wish the
vessels Of your squadron to be eX.
posed to the fire Of the batteries at
Havana. Santiago de Cuba or other
strongly fortified ports in Cuba, un.
less the more formidable Spanish YES
sells should take refuge within those
harbors. Even in this case the de.
partment would suggest that rigid
blockade and employment <f our tor
pedo boats might accomplish the de.
sired object, viz: The destruction Of
the enemy's vessels. without subject
ing unnecessarily our own men Of
war to the fire of the land batteries j."
This dispatch also contains the fol-
lowing order:
"The department further desires
that in case Of war you will maintain
strict blockade Of Cuba, particularly
at the port of Havana, Matanzas, and,
II possible, Of Santiago de Cuba, Man
zanillo and Cienfuegos."
