80 - 81 Another in Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, june 2E.--Mrs. Ernestine
T. Rauck, who was married last week to
Lydia Lolita Sawyer. who had masquer-
AIDED as a man for several years. applied
to the courts today to have the marriage
annulled. Judge Wright signed an order
for a hearing in the case.
The bill filed by Mrs. RaucIl states that
the petitioner, a widow, and the mother
of children, was married to the defendant
by Rev. Anthony Bilkovsky, at the minis
ter's home, on June Is last, and that two
days subsequent to the ceremony she dis
covered that her husband" was a woman.
The bill further declares that the defend
ant has confessed the deception, and has
also undergone a physical examination by
the physician of the police department,
which. the bill states. has conclusively es-
tabished the foregoing averment as to her
sex.

ment of the strange marriage is not de-
Tended. a decree pro confesso Will be
signed a preliminary. The proceedings
will then be suspended for thirty days in
order to give the defendant an opportunity
to answer. and IT, at the end of that time,
no answer is made. the court Will order teS-
timony to be taken before a commissioner.
This testimony will then be submitted to

KILLED SEVERAL NATIVES.
Capt Steele Tells of Confession of
Mai. NeWberry,

A dispatch from Manila yesterday says:
Captain Matthew F. Steele, 9th Cavalry,
testified today before the board which is
inquiring into the charges of cruelty, etc,
brought by Major Cornelius Gardener, gov
ernor of Tayabas province, against Ameri-
can officers and soldiers. He said he left
Tayabas in 1901, at which time he did not
consider the province pacified tranquil
lied.
The witness was in Major Gardeners
regiment, the Both Volunteer Infantry. AT
that time no American dared go through
the town unguarded. He said that. acting
under Major Gardeners orders and after
protesting, he placed the principal resi-
dents of Lucban under guard during the
vote for local presidente, and that they
complained bitterly of the action taken.
Witness left them, and when he returned
he found they had voted for criminal,
who was in jail. He told them they must
elect another man. Witness firmly be-
lieved they voted for the men they most
hated. The man elected presidente pro-
tested and pleaded 10 be relieved, but he
was compelled. under threat of being put
in the guard house, to accept the Office.
Continuing, Captain Steele said that
among his brother officers Major Newberry
formerly of the 3Oth Regiment of Volun-
teers. who testified on Wednesday. was re-
lous method of obtaining information from
natives. ohfe thf witness; asked him, if
he had kiE,ed i've natives with his own
hand, and got the understanding that he
had killed several men with his Mauser
pistol. Witness did not ask the reason for
this, and was not prepared to say. that
Newberry had actually killed them, but
that was witpess'fa impression. He thought
1t was MajQt G&rden policy to get a
form OF civil government established, while
the province was not ready for it.
Major Gardener then testified that his
policy incdaa3hi& with the natives of Ia
yabas was ,sWhatrrhe understood was de-
sired by the authorities at Washington,
namely, to craze from the minds of the

Volunteers.
Though there is no positive proof that
the four American teachers OF Cebu, Is
land of Cebu who have been missing since
June 10, when they started on a days out

that they were murdered as members of

CONSTITUTION PROCLAIMED
Gov. Montague Of Virginia Makes
Formal Announcement

A dispatch from Richmond Va last
night says: The new constitution of Viz
girla has been proclaimed and will go into
effect on Thursday. July 10. at noon
The general assembly will convene i'm
extraordinary session five days later and
give recognition to the new Instrument.

with the provisions of the schedule of the
new constitution. issued proclamations call
ing upon the people of the state to recoc-
nize and support the new instrument and
calling the Legislature together to give
the paper recognition The procIamations
are brief
The only possible hitch in putting the
new constitution into effect will be the
threatened attack by the republicans upon
the legality of its. proclamation. Judge
Lewis has not as yet. so far as can be
learned. reached any conclusion as TO
whether, in his judgment, the courts would
declare the proclamation of the constitu-
ton illegal The general impression is that
Judge Lewis will advise against any tight
in the courts.
The special session of the legislature will
probably not last more than a few weeks
Ii Is probable that the circuit judges will
De elected and that the necessary act will
be passed providing for necessary ma
chlnery for conducting the election next

Advantages Of a General Staff.

The head Of each bureau and separate
office. as well the members of the boards
and commissions dependent upon the War
Department, are accustomed to present all
their affairs requiring superior authority
to the Secretary of War. 1t is difficult,
inexpedient and often impra cticable for
the Secretary of War to delegate to his as
sistant the authority to act finally upon
the matters submitted. Some bureau chiefs
are Jealous of others and intoerant, each
feeling and pretending to a sort of proprie-
torship over the Secretary of War. and &C
cepting the action of no one else as final.
In no other army than our own does
the war minister habitually see any of his
bureau chiefs unless they are specially
summoned. The chief of the army general
staff should be vested with authority to dis
pose finally of a vast amount of business
which with us is heard by passes over
the Secretary's desk. Had we a properly
organized staff the Secretary might have
no occasion to have a personal interview
with the heads Of the adjutants' inspec-
tors, quartermasters' or medical bureaus
for months time.

No Need for General-in- Chief.

In my opinion" says Gen. Davis, there
is more necessity or appropriate place
for general-in-chief over and in the army
in war or peace than there is for an ad
miral-in-chief in the navy; no more reason
for general-in-chief than there is i'll Ger
many. France or Russia and if we are jus
titled in forming an opinion from the criti
cisms freely offered by the English military
critics the empty title of commander-in-
chief in England will expire with the pres
ent incumbent.
There is another reason why the senior
general officer should not be the chief Of
the general staff. 1t is hardly necessary 70
state the reason, so palpable to all. The
senior officer might not be fitted for the
post, or his term of service might be so
short to make his assignment inexpedient
In the army as now organized there are
of general officers and colonies about
hundred In all, counting only the generals
exercising command, engineers, cavalry, ar
tiliery. infantry, adjutant generals and in
spector generals. From this list a chief Of
general staff could be detailed and siven
temporary rank of major general, if de-
tailed from grade below. The officer must
be man of all-round experience. in the
prime of life, and he would serve as chief
of staff only during the pleasure of the
President.
