q sat's EARLY Risel.s
The famous little p;fla.

of its impressment said horse" says
the aggrieved Juan in his statement. was
used in the expedition TO Paianan com
manded by Lieut.. McKain, to whom L
made the proper claim without any result,
he stating that when they are for the ser
vice of the government it will pay for
them if they die or are lost" The SOL
der added insult to injury by coming
back later and telling Gatan that the
horse had been stolen. but giving him no
particulars so as to help him in hunt
ing for it Lieut.. McKafu cannot reme1n-
Der the circumstances of the case, but
casually assures the board OF survey that
he has no doubt the claim is just, though
the expedition for which the horse was
secured occurred in time OF insurrec-
ton and in a region very unfriendly to-
ward the United States" How much
more Juan Gatan can afford 10 spend in
pressing his claim for $3.50 does not ap-
pear from the papers. As he has now
waited more than two years for his pay
and is still entangled I'm the coils Of red
tape, The outlook for his success is not
encouraging.
Then there is the claim of Mrs. Floren-
cia ictoria Foreno La Gale, widow
She asserts that her house in Manila. of
which the American authorities took pos
session under lease for headquarters build
fngs, was damaged. together with its
furniture. 10 the extent of Sl.236 Mexican.
Our officers left it in a most deplorable
and wrecked condition" its wear and
tear at their hands having been harsh,
unusual and extra hazardous" Accord
ing to her account some of the furniture
is missing. other pieces have legs broken
off or have been smashed or chopped up
50 as to be unit for use; and so on. \
heard Of survey looked the premises
over and reported that the damage would
rot exceed, at a reasonable amount. s367

where the fair claimant had charged 500
for chandelier trimmings missing and
damaged" they report: chandelier trim
minss. etc, immateriaI damage. 5000"
Where she charged go for keys and locks
gene they report: NO keys turend over
with the building; locks intact damage
5000" Where she charged $500 for injury
to plastering on walls and floor upstairs.
they report: Due to leaky roof. 5000"
Her charge of 1916 for injury to walls by
electric wireing. they cut down to 800.
And so through the catalogue.
II is obvious that Mrs. Florencia Victo-
ria MOrenno La Gale has had shrewder
legal advice than Senior Juan Gatan. He.
poor fellow, asks for his Moorish race
horse only what he is prepared to prove
he actually paid for it. and fair enough
value for the saddle and other appurte-
RANGES. But she demands nearly twice
what the board of survey stood ready to
award her His claim is likely to he lost
in the shuie: hers is quite likely TO
bring a sum larger than the board pro-
posed. and the margin can go to her at
torney. Anyone who says that our new
made Americans are not apt learners OF
our ways is sadly in error. The two
types OF claimants in this country who
come TO congress every day with the sto-
res of their wrongs find perfect counter
parts on the opposite side of the globe.

His Double Cavalry Charge

WAR LORD WANTS LlMELIGHT
Critics Say in a Genuine War Infantry
Would Have Slaughtered Cavalry In

vers a Mere Spectacular Performance

BERLIN, Sept 13--Au the military
critics. including the German, unite in
condemning the double cavalry charges
of Thursday and Friday during the army
maneuvers at Frankfcrt-on- oder. They
say in real war two such attacks would
be impossible within twenty-four hours.
The foreign officers privately condemn
the Kaiser for turning what started out
20 be genuine maneuvers into a mere
spectacular performance, in order TO put
himself in the limelight They say that
n genuine war the infantry would not
have run from the cavalry as the Reds
did before the Kaiser's on-rush. but
would have held their ground and with
the artillery support have made the Kai-
scr and his cavalry resemble thirty
cents"
The Kaiser, however, is in a jubfIant
mood He says the maneuvers have
proven that enormous cavalry attacks
must be made in successful warfare. He
added:
If one-half were destroyed the re-
mainder would overrun all the infantry
and artillery"
The foreign officers. in reply, are ask
ing how many battles the cavalry would
be able TO fight il 50 per cent were killed
or wounded in each charge
