CHEYENNE Is JOYFUL
Railroad Shops to Be Enlarged
and Force Increased to
1000 Men.
fsDecial to Nc Herald.)

Cheyenne, Wyo., july 20.-The Union
Pacific shops at this point are to be
enlarged in the near future and the
working force increased to ], 600 men
or more. This information comes from
a high official of the Union Pacific in
the east, and is believed TO be anthem
tic. Just what the improvements are
TO be is not known, but as the shop
plant was never completed it is expect
ed the original plans Of the company
to establish blast furnaces and car
works q [ this point viii now be carried
out Several times during the past few
years the company has planned to en-
large the machine shops, and this i'm
prOvement is probably one of those in
contemplation.
With more machinists. additional ma
chinery would have TO be put in, and
as the machinery now in the shops
has been in use some time. it is ex-
pected more modern equipment viii be
installed. The enlargement OF the ma
chine shops would probably neceSsitate
the enlargement of the tin shop. boiler
shop, paint shop and blacksmith shop
The company is said TO have long ago
recognized the necessity of a centrally
located modern shop plant. and Chey-
enne being in the center of the big
system, il is not surprising that the
company has now decided TO enlarge
heavy repairs and rebuilding as vel
as light work can be done without
necessitating long hauls to Omaha
1t is said 10 be the plans Of the com
rany to make Cheyenne and Omaha
the principal shop centers. where al
work. except urgent and light repairs
VIII be done

WATER CURE A GOOD THING
Colonel Groesbeck Discusses Waller Trial and Tells How pnos
Must Be HandIed-GWes Narrowing Details of
the March Across Samar.
JOHN w. MACkAY.

Referring to the famous kill and
burn" order, alleged to have been is
sued by General Smith. Colonel Groes-
beck said:
mo such order was ever issued by
Smith, but he is an impetuous and er-
ratio man, and, when going over the
ground at Balangiga, after the massa-
ere of an entire company of the Ninth
infantry. he remarked 10 Waller that
they would be justified in killing and
burning as they went"
He did not think that Waller or anv
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 march was begun, il would not
, have ended with such disaster He
spoke of General Smith as a fine Of
hcer. and expressed regret at the hu-
initiation attached TO the recent order
for his retirement.
Colonel Groesbeck believes in the
water cure. and said that in all the
complaints caused by this method of
| forcing the insurgents TO give informa-
I ton as TO where arms were hidden,
etc, il had been abused only by young
( officers. over jealous and inexperienced
| in their work
Il believe" said he, the water cure
| as practiced by the American in the
/ Philippines TO be the most humane
method of obtaining information from
! criminals of war that is known to
/ modern warfare"
On the Philippine question in gen
/ eral, Colonel Groesbeck said: I'VE are
/ there to stay. The price that has beer
/ paid for the islands demands that we
hold them. but 10 civilize and estab-
/ lish a government that can be ulti-
mately given into the keeping OF the
natives is a task beyond the compre-
hension of those unacquainted with
the treachery that has been instillec
into the people by their former rulers

they have feared for ages. and siren.

cate such ideas"

Groesbeck was chief reviewing author
ity in the trials of Major Waller and
General Jacob H. Smith. both of whom
were courtmartiaIed for methods used
in the Samar campaign.
Discussing the Waller trial, Colonel
Groesbeck characterized Major Wal
Ter as a tactician, not a leader In
reviewing that case he said: Il could
only give a qualified approval of the
findings of the court because believed
him responsible largely for the condi-
tions that caused his men to commit
the offenses charged. An attempt was
made to lead a detachment OF his COM
mand. consisting of four officers. fifty
four enlisted men and thirty three
! 'Cargadores' from east to west across
the island of Samar, in search of the
enemy. and when about midway of his
course he found himself in the heart

gan without proper provision being
