wHo Rrscr Z 0 LIEUT.. orLLxoss,
The President Believes Coi. Hewze should
Receive the Reward. .4s

WASHINGTON, Jan. 77.-The question az
TO who 10 entitled to the credit Of rescuing
Lieut.. James c. Gilmore Of the navy aid
his party Of sailors from the hands Of the
Fipinos two years ago. is playing an i'm
portant part In the consideration OF can
dIdates for promotion to rigadier-General
In tho army. President Roosevelt believes
that Capt, Robert l.. How're. who as Eeutep-
ant-Colonel Of the Thirty-fourth Infantry,
commanded part Of the expedition which
reached Lieut.. Gilmore. should receive
the reward. The friends Of Capt. Luther
Il. Hare, who was Colonel Of the Thirty
third Infantry and in command OF another
part Of the expedition. say he deserves the
promotion more than Capt. Howe. Sena-
tor Joe Bailey OF Texas Is back Of the Hare
movement and has had several interviews
with the President and Secretary Of War
on the subject. SO far he has not been
able TO convince them that Capt. Hare
actually rescued the Gilmore captives.
He saw Secretary Root this morning, but
accomplished nothing, as the Secretary
Of War believes that the reward should go
TO Capt. Howe.
The truth about the rescue OF Lieut..
Gilmore. as shown by the official reports,
is that Col HOWE and Col Hare. COM
manding separate troops, were operating
against the insurgents near Vigan. They
frequently worked together At Tangaden
Pass, where the expedition started early
In December, Col. Hare's men covered the
advance OF Col, Howe upon the .enemy's
trenches. At San Quentin, Col. Hare
learned news Of the American prisoners,
which led him TO believe they were at
ngued. He says In his report:
Il sent Col. Howe on 10 Bangued with
the Thlrty-fourth Infantry and taking
that part OF my regiment that was with
me, left on a mountain trail for Pillar TO
intercept a supposed movement OF the
enemy at Bacay or San Jose.
Col. Hare then tells about his capturing
emissaries from Aguinaldo with letters
which convinced him that the captives
had been taken north; He continues
THE next morning received a despatch
from Col. Howe saying that he had dis
oners were with them and that he would
hold their trail
Col. Hare says he selected a party OF
men and several days later Joined Col.
Howe at the mouth Of a canon In the
mountains. II was In this canon that he
was told the Americans were held prisoners
He says he found Cok Howze's command
practically without shoes, and, II any
thing, more exhausted than mine Owing
70 this condition, Col. Hare on the 18th left
Col. Howe and proceeded seven miles up
the canon, The next evening messenger
reached him saying that Col. Howze's
party had received shoes and would over
take him. He continues:
Il shortened my march and Howe over
took me with his command that night.
proceeded over the mountain, following
the trail taken by the insurgents with our
prisoners.
Both officers were present at the rescue.

To Change the Liquor Law.

The plan agreed upon by the group
OF prominent citizens who have been
meeting recently to devise better
scheme Of excise, was laid before Mayor
Low yesterday. Here is the point OF IT,
IL The Rainss law should be 80 amended a.
70 provide for the sale Of liquor In restaurants a.
In hotels and under ike conditions with the ides
that In such case the RAines law hote would be
displaced and It's peculiar abuses stamped out
This the Mayor approves. though he
will not himself plead for it before the
Legislature.
The existing law aims at limiting
the sale OF liquor on Sunday through
the burdensome requirement that every
lawful liquor shop shall be a hotel.
which Ia defined as house with ten bed
rooms open for guests, A saloon can
add a restaurant to its accommodations
at 40 little cost that to grant the Sunday
license to restaurants Is practically to
open the saloons without exception.
Such a state Of affairs would be, In
our opinion. preferable TO the demorali-
zation of the police which is caused by
keeping the irrepressible traffic in Sunday
liquor under the ban OF the law.
But the question Of change Is for the
decision Of the State Legislature. and
some advice TO those in favor Of a
change seems timely. In the first place,
the Rev. DR.. LYMAN ABBoTTs unwill-
ingness to ask the Legislature to pass
law tn oman the saloons In this city be-
cause 1t is contrary to the spirit OF
home rule is the height Of blind war
fare on the organization Of the State,
In the second place, New York city
will be in a much better position TO ask
the Legislature for another liquor law,
il it makes the request with clean hands
as TO observation Of the law that is.

HUSTLED orr fo SEA.
Every Naval Omcer Ashore whs ls Avail

Every Naval Onicer Ashore Whs 10 Avail
able for Sea Service ID Being Sent Away.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.--Naval officers on
shore duty are being hustled Oh to sea at
a rate that has set the sservice generally
wondering what's In the wind. The ex-
planation is simple. The number OF ships
In the navy has been increased greatly.
while the number Of officers has not. and
every officer ashore who Ia available for
sea assignment Is being sent away.
Not long ago the number OF officers OF
the rank Of Lieutenant and below who had
shore assignments was said to be 10 per
cent. Of the whole number. Within the
past few weeks there has been a marked
decrease In the number Of those ashore,
until now only 10 per cent. OF Aeutsnants.
Junior Ieutenants and Ensigns are doing
desk or inspection work. Tho percentage
Is somewhat greater among officers OF
higher grades, q natural consequence OF
the fact that there can be only one Captain
or commander TO every ship, and no Lieu
tenant Commander can be assigned TO
watch or division duty. large numher
Of the Captains and Commanders on shore
duty were former engineers who. under
the law transferring them TO the line. CO..
not be given sea assignments.
For several years appeals have peen
made TO Congress by the Secretary oi the
Navy and the Chief OF the Bureau OF Navi-
CATION for more officers. but Congress has
declined to provide the relief. Naval men
say that II II does not come soon the en-
cheney Of the service will be greatly i'm
paired A great many Of the ships In
commission have fewer officers than the
number required 20 handle the vessels
with safety. There is not a ship In service
that has its full complement.
Before the Spanish American war tho
rule Of assignment for officers was three
years at sea and three years ashore; since
then the tours of service have been changed
to eighteen months ashore and between
two and three years az sea: within the
past few weeks the period Of shore service
Of a great many young officers has been
radically curtailed, until now Il Is doubtful
II any Lieutenant, Junior Lieutenant or
Ensign will have year at a shore station.
Nearly all the younger officers on duty at
the Navy Department have been sent away
to foreign stations. and It H. said TO be the
intention TO replace them by older men,
for whom sea duty commensurate with
their rank cannot be found.

The EXPLOSION.

The Rapid Transit tunnel has called
for its first great tribute Of human life.
To every important work Of engineering
II seems that some lives must be sacri-
ficed. and experience with these large
enterprises Is always dearly bought.
Nevertheless in such catastrophe, the
common laws Of accident must not be
too easily accepted as a shield for re-
sponsibility.
Men making use OF the enormous force
that Is In dynamite are bound to fore
see and provide against the very dangers
that have in this instance wrought such
awful havoc.
The best safeguard for the future may
be punishment for the past.
