General Prime informed Captain Mather

suitable quarters he would be inclined 20
disband 1t. There were a number Of towns
in the state, he said, willing and anxious

to construct an armory large enough to
accommodate 1t. General Prime expressed
the opinion that II Council Bluffs did not
take sufficient interest in its military COM
pany to provide 1t with a suitable armory
II would be best to muster the company
out of service. He said, further, that
Council Bluds was not alone in this respect
as he had notified at least six other COM
panies during the recent annual inspection
that unless better armories were provided
they would be disbanded.
The Dodge Light Guards have for some
time been figuring on building an armory.

WOOD FILES HIS DEFENSE
Gives Statement to Root Denying Major
RathbOnes Charges.
ADMITS He WATCHED CUBAN GAMES
Says Only Duty Free Gift Received
Was Properly Admitted Under
Existing Laws by Gem
eral Bliss.


WASHINGTON, March 22.-Brigadler
General Leonard A. Wood today placed in
the hands of the secretary Of war volun-
tary statement regarding the charges filed
against him by Major e. @. Rathbone, ex-
director general of Cuban posts. No off,
cial notice Of Major Rathbone's charges
had been taken, but General Wood received
permission to file a statement setting forth
his side of the case before leaving for the
Philippines.
General Wood leaves Washington on
Wednesday afternoon for Boston, whence
he sails on Thursday for Manila. Pending
the action of the secretary General Wood
refuses to comment upon the charges, most
of which, he says, have been presented
before, but he denies that he received any
but purely personal gifts while in Cuba.
Bishop Also Patron.
AS to his attendance on the "jai allai,'
public institution at Havana, at which
the Spanish national game was played
General Wood calls attention to the fact
that the bishop of Havana was present at
the dedication Of the institution and con-
Quoted the service on that occasion. AS
governor general of Cuba It was his policy
to establish and maintain cordial relations
with the people, including the spaniards.
He felt that it was but an appreciation
Of Spanish institutions for him to recog-
nize and patronlze the Spanish national
game, which corresponds closely to the
American game of racquets, and he made
1t a point to attend the "jai ALLAH quite
often In the evenings, being accompanied
by several OF his aides. The latter also
received professional instruction In the
game.
The institution had a drinking and bet
ting privilege legally granted by the au-
thorities and was attended in the evenings
by from 1000 to 5000 people.
Merchants Present silver Plate.
Last May, on the Sunday before his de.
parture, he was asked to receive delega'
ton of Spanish merchants who desired Il
present him a personal testimonial of theil
esteem. This proved to be a handsome
silver service. General Tasker H. Bliss
then in charge OF the customs service, ad'
mitted the gift free Of duty, frst, because

the law provided also for the free i'm
portation Of household goods and persona

! Bliss could issue no bonds for the ad'
mission of the gift, but he personally ex

General Wood said tonight that he woult

to Secretary Root and he was ready at anl
times to appear before that committee and

most of which is under cultivation.
There are about so members of the

rare beauty of the monastery grounds
The early Iowa Trappists were much
interested in horticulture, and those
following have tended what the first
ones planted; and to-day beautiful
trees. both foreign and native, afford
shade for the silent workers and the
enthusiastic guests. The Pine Walk
is especially beautiful, an avenue bor-
dered by row upon row of tall pines.
The monastery offers hospitality to
the wayfarer: no charge is asked for
entertainment. but the box in the ves-
tibule gives silent invitation to drop in
an offering. The guest-house is i'm
