Cuba, the army is called upon to re-
sumo its most important work in time

wish to call your attention to the
conditions which now require especial
effort and zeal on your part in the
performance of this duty.
"Since the declaration of war with
Spain there have been appointed in
the line of the army 1.542 lieutenants,
in addition to 276 appointed from the
military academy Of these, 6t6 were
appointed from the volunteers. 414

military education. While many Of
the former officers of volunteers
have acquired the most valuable ex-
perience by active service in the
field, yet it is of great Importance
to them, as well as to the unframed
appointees from civil life and from
the ranks, that they shall have an op-
portunity for thorough training. both

competent masters in the arm of war

Congress has made provision for
the re-opening Of the army schools,
has given its sanction to the general
system of military education en-
bodied in the general order of Novem-
ber % last, including the enlarge
ment and development of the Fort
Leavenworth school into a general
service and staff college, the estab-
lishment of the war college at Wash

the rebuilding of the engineer
school, and has made ample appro-
priations for these purposes.
Every effort will be made by the
war college board, which has charge
of the whole system, to bring it's adj

army as speedily as possible and to
organize officers schools at all the
considerable posts without delay. [
ask for hearty cooperation with
them on the part of every officer Of
the army. There are 1.4j2 graduates
of the military academy now holding
commissions. They especially have an
opportunity to demonstrate loyalty
to the principles of that institution

service the benefits which have come
to them from their four years of hard
study"

a SMALL FINE.
Punishment Recommended by Court
Martial for NIni. Glenn.

Washington, July 23.-Secretarv
Root has sent to the president the
proceedings and findings in the court
martial cases of Major Edwin f.
Glenn, Fifth infantry; Lieut.. Julien
E. Gaujot, Tenth cavalry, and Lieut..
Norman +. Cook, of the Philippine
scouts. Glenn was found guilty OF
administering the water cure to ma
tives, or permitting it to be done, and
was sentenced to one months suspen-
sion from duty and fined $50.
Lieut.. Cook was acquitted on n
charge of giving orders to kill three
of the prisoners. The testimony
showed that he had given orders to
shoot the prisoners if they attempt
ed to escape. The Filipino scouts to
whom this order was given thought it
meant to shoot the prisoners.
In forwarding the cases to the
president the secretary recommends
that the sentences and findings be
approved, but that no other action
shall be taken. 1t is not believed that
the president, who is the reviewing
authority in these cases, will make
any comments such as were delivered
by him in the case of Gen. Smith. 1t
is shown in the evidence and reports
that Major Glenn has performed ex-
cellent service.

NOT A HEADSMAN.
Treasury Depar: ment Issues n State
ment Regarding Secretary shaw.

Washington, July 23.-The follow
ing statement was made public at the
office of the secretary of the treas
ury yesterdays: Numerous inquiries
have been received at the treasury
department relative to the truth or
falsity Of the alleged assertion of
Secretary Shay that he was in favor
of a five-year limit for service in the
treasury department. The original
newspaper article and those that fol
lowed it, stating that the secretary
believed departmental employe lost
his usefulness after five years in the
government service were so ridicu-
lously improbable that they were
never dignified by Il denial. That a
great many people have taken these
articles seriously has been demon
strated by the number of inquiries,
not only from Washington, but from
al over the country.
"To avoid further misconception of
the facts in the case, it may be an
nounced on absolute authority that
no such remark or explanation was
ever made by Secretary Shaw and
that the articles purporting to re-
port his attitude as headsman are
made out of whole cloth"

Closing Them Causes Much Trouble
In France-Demonstrat I'm Favor
of the Nuns and FrIars Occur in
Many Places.

Paris, July 24.-The agitation pro-
voked by the order of Prime Minis
ter Combes to close the congregation
list schools recalls to some extent the
| scenes enacted when NJ. Ferry. then
| premier. expelled the Jesuits in 1880.
| Demonstrations in favor of the nuns
and the teaching friars are taking
| place in Paris and many places in the
| provinces, where the projects pre-
sented themselves at the schools and
ordered that the institutions be
| closed. Up to the present however.
no serious incident has been recorded.
The nationalists have joined the
clericals in engineering the agitation,
and their leaders are in the fore
| front of the cffervescence in Paris.
Considerable sympathy has been
worked up on behalf of the nuns, and
their schools have been made the
particular objects of demonstrations
The clericals called upon their sym
pathizerS to meet outside of the
school conducted by the Sisters of st.
Vincent de Paul in the northeast
quarter of Paris, which was closed
yesterday afternoon, and Il consider
able crowd gathered there. compelling
large body of police and mounted
municipal guards to form Gordon
in the streets leading to the school
A few trifiing collisions occurred be-
tween the clericals and counter
demonstrators.
The greatest excitement in the
provinces is displayed in the clerical
stronghold of Brittany. where the
Al,
nuns schools in several places and
declared they would not allow the
nuns to be expelled. For instance.
at Landcrneau a crowd of farmers
and women mounted guard before
the school of the sisters awaiting the
arrival of the police. The inhabitants
of the village of Ploudaniel. who also
are guarding the sisters school,
seized lay schoolmaster and
thrashed him with nettles. At La
BresSe. in the Nosges. the commits
sary of police, accompanied by gen
darmes, thrice tried to approach the
congregationist school in order to
effect its closure, but was obliged to
abandon the attempt because of the
threatening attitude of the popula-
tiOn.
At st. AmbroiX. near Mines, the
demonstrators detached the horses
from the carriages which were con-
veying the sisters to the railway sta
ton, and dragged the vehicles. with
their occupants, back to the convent.

1T WAS a CRIME.
Parents Refused to Call Medical As
sIstance for Sick Children and Three
Deaths Followed.

Spokane, Wash, July 24.-The coro-
ner's jury that investigated the death
of the three small children of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Graham, of this city. re-
ported that death was caused by diph-
liberia and that the parents are gull
ty of criminal negligence for failing
to employ or accept skilled medical
assistance"
The jury recommended that a state
law covering such cases and exact
ing penalty be passed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Graham are members
of a society known as the Church
of God" and do not believe in medi-
cine, though surgery is permitted.
When their children became sick, they
were anointed by an elder of the
church. Later doctor was called
and was allowed to lance the chill
dren's throats, but not to give them
medicine. Three died and one recov-
cred. Whether the parents will be
prosecuted has not yet been deter
mined.

confidence. y single word, a trite
maxim, will kindle his ambition. The
person who really needs the attention
of the commencement week speakers
is the man who has passed his college
days and has found to his dismay that
sheer force of circumstances has
crowded him into d rut. This is the
individual whose mind has stopped
growing and who fancied that his edu-
cation was completed" when he left
his high school or academy or college.
Very likely some misguided professor
assured him at the time that his edu-
cation would prove invaluable to him.
He looks back and fails to see where

learned save a few vague generaliza
tions. He would be at loss to eX-
tract the square root of any number
of four figures; he could not construe
Latin sentance or conjugate Latin
verb to save his life; physics, chem
istry, mathematics-all are sealed
books to him. That he decides to put
these things behind him, concludes
that his time for education is past,
and puts aside with sullen resignation
all future opportunities for learning
Is not, perhaps, surprising. 1t would
be noble service for the baccalaure-
ate orators to get hold of this individ-
ual, whose age may be anywhere be-
tween 30 and rs, and make him see how
foolish he is.

Admiral Dewey's testimony the 9TH
er day before the senate committee
on the Philippines is corroborative of
the facts stated heretofore. There
was no alliance with Aguinaldo, no i'm
portance was attached to his move
ments. and at no time could Aguinaldo
have captured Manila. The Spanish
governor general had really surren-
dered the city to Admiral Dewey be
fore gun was fired. but wanted a
show of force to save his honor.
Dewey constantly reported after May
l, 1898, that he could take the city at
any time. The democrats will hard
ly impeach Admiral Dewey's state
ments on these points, as he is aflili-
ated with them. and may again he a
candidate for their nomination to the
presidency. His refreshing Of the pub
lie memory on the fact that Aguinaldo
was no ally or confederate of his is es-
pecially timely when so many of his
feIIow-democrats are making their
campaign on the false proposition that
Dewey had him for his ally. The
democracy is getting many home
thrusts this year from its own ranks.
