According to the imaginative writer of
the Dispatch at Washington, when the
decks were cleared the attorney for the
state of Minnesota handed his brief to
the supreme court, and the attorney for
the Northern Securities company handed
up his brief, and then the court took a
recess. If it did not take any more time
to clear the decks than it did to hand
up the briefs, there could not have been
an all-powerful amount Of clearing to be
done.

That petition of the shippers of Mime

seems very funny to the Canadian rail-

these gentlemen would be still more ac-

Hansa endeavored to push her ashore.

interval. however, about fifty of her
passengers were able to reach the Han

Havana, July 21.--The Union Espa-

dent Palma, who declares that anneSa-
ton to the United States is impossible
now. 1t will not come until the
Americans want it. and when the Latin
influence has ceased in Cuba.
President Palma says he has great
hopes that the country viii emerge
victorious from her present financial
and commercial crisis. He bases his
hope upon the fact that American syn
dicates have shown their faith in the
future of the island by buying up all the
cigar factories. and investing heavily
IN sugar estates and other lands.
Moreover, Senior Terry, secretary of
agriculture who is a sugar planter.
considers that sugar can grow With
profit when it sells at three reales per
twenty-five pounds if the planters can
utilize the best methods of production.
The speedy removal of sugar boun-
ties, and the probable granting of con-
Cessions to Cuba by the United States,
will also aid in solving the problem now
confronting the Cuban administration.
Once the economic difficulty is solved
the political question will present no
difficulties

AS TO MAJOR WALLER.
Judge Advocate Groesbeck Sheds Some
Lqht on the Subject.

San Francisco, July 21.-Col. Stephen
w. Groesbeck, judge advocate of the
division of the Philippines, has arrived
here from Manila, end route to Chica-
go, where he will take station as. judge
advocate of the department of the
lakes. Col Groesbeck was chief review
ing officer in the trials of Maj. Waller
and Gen. Jacob II. Smith. both of whom
We're court-martaled for methods used
in the Samar campaign.
Discussing the Waller trial. Col.
Groesbeck characterized Maj. Waller
as a tactician, not leader. In review
ing that case he said
Il could only give qualified approv-
al of the findings of the court, because
l believed him responsible largely for
the conditions that caused his men to
commit the offenses charged.
AN attempt was made to lead de-
tachment of his command, consisting of
four officers, tifty-four enlisted men
and thirty-three 'cargadoros from east
towns across the Island of Samar, in
search of the enemy, and when about
midway of his course he found himself
in the heart of an uninhabited noun
famous section, without ratons and
without medical attendance. The march
had been begun without proper pro-
vision being made. The mems shoes
had worn away, their clothing hung in
tatters. many We're stricken with fever.
their feet bruised and bleeding, their
bodies lacerated by thorns, and, adding
to this wretchednesS, the leecheS which
abound attacked and greatly aggravat
ed their exposed wounds.
"Fro the cry for food the cargadoros,
lit is alleged. did not efficiently respond
and the suspicion arose in the minds
of the starving men that the cargador-
os were conniving at their destruction.
For this they were placed under guard,
and all of those from whom a cry of re-
taliation came We're executed"
Referring to the famous kill and
burn order alleged to have been is
sued by Gen. Smith, Col. Groesbeck
said:
NO such order was ever issued by
Smith, but he is AN impetuous and err
ratio man. and when going over the
ground at Balangga after the massa-
ere of an entire company of the Ninth
infantry. he remarked to Waller that
they would be justified in killing and
burning as they went
He did not think that Waller or any
of the officers of his command should
be held accountable for the lives de-
stroyed. but he believed that had more
careful provision been made when the
fatal marchSwas begun it would not
have ended with such disastrous re-
suits. He spoke of Cen Smith as a fine
officer. and expressed regree AT the hu-
initiation attached TO the recent orders
for his retirement.

TO DEFEND CANAL.

the New Waterway.
Washington. July 2l.--In order to
avoid all misunderstanding respecting
the purpose of the United States TO
adequately defend the Panama canal
when it is constructed. Secretary HAY
has inserted in the draft of the treaty
now under consideration by the Colom-
hian authorities provision for the
lease to the United States of the ISL
ands of Flamenco, Naos and Perico.
These islands lie in the bay of Panama.
and, properly fortified and supplied.
they will make an ideal base for a

it will come into the possession of this
country. -Almirante bay is on the Ca
ribbean sea, and it will be a base for
the defense of the Colon entrance of the
projected canal.
In addition to these points the United
States made an official suggestion a
short time ago to Costa Rica tha it
be authorized to establish a coalins sta
iion on the shores of the gulf of
Dulce, which is on the west coast of
Central America. The islands in Puma
ma bay have been surveyed by naval
vessels and form an ideal rendezvous
for a fleet. 1t is said that in order
to establish an efficient coaling and re-
pair station on them it will be nee
essary to spend several millions of
dollars. In fact, the cost of defending
the canal by means of the navy un-
doubtedly will reach s10,000.0o0.
