TESTS OF DISCIPLINE.

Obedience aad Disobedience on the
Part of Military Men.
No clear-cut absolute reply, no wade
mecum for pocket use, can be furnish
ed defining just when and how, in all
cases, man is justified in disObedi-
ence, nor even when he is justified by
blind obedience; although the balance
Of professional judgment must al
ways incline in favor of the latter al
tentative, writes Captain Alfred T..
SIahan in the International Monthly.
When doubt arises, as it frequently
does, between strict compliance with
an order and the disregard of it. in
whole or in part. the officer is called
upon to decide a question of profess
sional conduct. Personal judgment
necessarily enters as a factor, but only
one of many; and. to be trusted, it needs
to be Judgment Illuminated by profes-
sional knowledge and fortified by re-
Election. Short of that, it is not a safe
counselor and has no claim to consid-
Grafton if cited before court of final
appeal
The officer at the moment should con-
slider himself, as he in fact is, a judge
deciding upon case liable to be called
up to superior court, before which
his conclusion has no claim to respect
because it is his personal opinion, but
only in so far as it is supported by the
evidence before him. There is, of
course. the necessary reservation that
the final judgment upon himself for his
conduct as involved i'll his
decision, will be rendered upon the
facts accessible to him, and not upon
those not then to be known, though af-
terward apparent.

Palma bore an active and prominent
part.
In 1868, when open war began, he
was one of the leaders in the newly
formed legislative body. His home
town was the first upon which the
Spanish troops descended. The pat
riots. loving it devotedly as they did,
for 1t was an old and pleasant city Of
homes, burned it to the ground, so that
the oncoming regiments should find
neither food nor shelter there.
During the guerrilla campaigning Of
the Ten Years War Palma was elected
President of republic organized by
the troops. In 1877 he was captured by
the Spaniards, imprisoned for a short
time in Havana, and later taken to
Spain, where he was confined in an old
castle for over a year.
He takes care to give the Spaniards
their due, and says he was treated with
great kindness and respect by them.
After his release he was postmaster
general of Honduras for five years, and
then came to the United States, where
he established collegiate school for
Cuban and South American boys at
Central Valley, n Y.
During the last struggle for Cuban
independence he was the head of the
Junta which. with headquarters in New
York. raised money and carried on a
propaganda In behalf Of the cause.

Is 81 years old. He was born at Baya-

mother tried to keep him out Of the
revolutionary movements which were
brewing in the island during his youth.
She even went so far as to restrict him
to the boundaries Of the Bayamo estate.
Associates she knew he must have,
but his boy friends had to come to see
him: he was not allowed to visit them.
The father had died when Tomas was
very young. When he was 10 years old

MANILA AS 1T is TO-DAY.
War Ended So Far as City Is Concerned
mbracing American Ideas.

War Ended So Far as City Is Concerned
mbracing American Ideas.
The following letter, written lately
by all American business mau now in
Manila. gives an interesting description
Of the situation in that city as it IS to-
day. 1t reads as follows:
Il wish you could get out here and
see this country You would have one
of the grea test surprises of your life
and matter for thought for long time
to come. The country is beautiful. the
climate delicious, though warm to one
accustomed to the temperate zone. The
sun is hot at noon, but shade is always
near and somewhere breeze is always
to be found. The nights are cOmforta-
BILE all the year round.
The war seems as far off here as it
did in Chicago. 1t affects Manila and
the other principal cities just as much
as the war against the Sioux or
Apaches used to interrupt the business
in New York, Boston or Philadelphia.
There are a few skirmishes in outly-
ing districts, of course, but they are
of little or no Importance. No one
ever speaks of any war here. 1t is all
finished from a local point of view. and
every man is straining each nerve to
solve the mighty problems of peace.
The rapidity with which those prob
lens are being msAtered surprises one.
In ten years a new civilization will
have permeated all the islands. In five
years 1 believe we will see a new Ma
nila. Already the Filipinos of rank
and means are feeling the contagion of
American optimism and are looking to
the future with glowing hopes. Ex-
insurgent generals are taking posts un-
der the government on all sides. and

A Comedy of an Umbrella.

When the lady sat down in the car
she put her umbrella in the narrow slit
between the window and the back of
the seat. Then she looked with what
the New York Tribune calls an air of
victory and compassion at the stupid
passengers who sat holding their um-
brellas uncomfortably against their
knees.
OF course when the car lurched the
umbrella toppled and went down the
hole, but its owner did not notice it's
disappearance until she rose to get out.
Where is my umbrella 2" she cried
Conductor, somebody has stolen my
umbrella. put it right in that-that
slit in the car"
''Then 1 guess perhaps you may get
it next summer when they repair the
car" answered the conductor, amiably.
But it couldn't have gone down
there. 1 made sure it couldn't drop
down. Some one has stolen it."
We'll, I'm sorry, but can't block the
line. Do you want to get off at this
stop"
Il want my umbrella"
One moment, madam" said the man
opposite. He took his own umbrella,
which had a hook-shaped handle, and
went fishing.
Don't tear it," cried the woman.
Its nice silk one. and think good
deal of it because my cousin Nellie
gave it to me-
After a few probes, the rescuer pulled
out a dirty umbrella and handed it to
it's owner.
THANK you, sir" she snapped. and
strode out. The conductor pulled the
bell-cord vigorously. The passengers
smiled.
