WAR INDEMNITY FOR low A
FAVORABLE REPORT ON BILL
TO PAY EXPENSE OF TROOPS
FOR CUBAN FIGHT.
From the Journal Bureau, Colorado Building
Washington.

From the Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, Dec. 2S.-A favorable
report has been made in the house OF
Representatives sorrs {. bill auth ofizing
the payment by the secretary OF the
treasury of the claim Of the state OF
Iowa for something over $20,OOO,
which was paid by the state on &C
count of the troops furnished in the
Snanfsh- American n. Il war. This claim
is only one of many which have been
presented to congress for settlement
because Of the insufficiency of the law
governing such payments, and which
have been rejected by the auditor for
the war department because OF the
lack of authority. .
In the report on the Iowa claim
made by Representative Haugen, who
also introduced tit is stated that
it is for money expended and bills
paid after the mastering into the
United States service of the Iowa
volunteers, by direction Of the then
cns Items Ie ars for Of
the troops after their muster out and
for rent Of the state fair grounds at
Des Moines.
Regarding the transportation and
care of the troops after muster out,
the report says: ~
"There were two regiments re-
turned to Iowa for mastering out and
were kept at Camp Mckinley for thir-
ty to ttirty-fve days each, and We're
furloughed under orders from the war
department, but were without means
to pay their transportation to their
homes.
THE state Of Iowa furnished these
men transportation to their homes
and return, realizing that the state
was not bound to do so, but as it had
a contract with all railroads in the
state to transport our soldiers at the
rate Of / cent per. mile, transportation
was paid thinking that the best I'm
der the circumstances, and hoping
| that the general government might
see fit, in its generosity, to reimburse
| the state for the money SO paid out.
There was arranged by Captain
| Olmstead, the regular army officer in
charge, what was known as the Red
Cross hospital at Camp Mckinley
| These. soldiers coming home from
Chickamauga and Jacksonville, were
very sick with 1fevers, and hospital
had to be provided to care for them;
and when this. hospital was filled up
some of the private hospitals were
filed. and all Of the expenses We're
paid by the state of Iowa. After be
/ ing approved by the mastering Off
/ Ger of the United States, the state OF
i Iowa paid all claims that were CON
tracted within the state, whether by
government officials or by state Off
Gals, for these volunteers.

Hindrancee of the Militia

The adjutant general in his report
states that there is an inexplicable
opposition on the part of employers
to permitting their employees who are
members of the National Guard to
leave their work to participate in
drills encampments and target prac-
tice, as well as in responding to calls
for service from the state for the sup
preston of disturbances.
Business and professional men
connected with the organized militia
of some of the states the adjutant
general adds, feel that they can not
afford to waste their time in riotc or
labor troubles. while they would be
perfectly willing to respond in case
of war. In some cities of Virginia,
Georgia and Louisiana the newspapers
have prejudiced the minds of the mi
litiamen by their distorted views. The
fear is expressed in some southern
communities that under the Presi-
dents orders. white national guards
men might be compelled to serve un-
der a colored commander, and still
others believe that they are state
troops and should not be ordered for
duty outside the state All these ex-
amples, however, are to be regarded
as sporadic rather than contagious,
and as the intent of the law becomes
better understood, with perhaps some
further legislation, 1t is believed that
all opposition will be confined to such
irreconcilable elements as are not to
be satisfied with anything less than
the abolition of all agencies that make
for the preservation of law and or
der"

true that certain radical leaders of

it is doubtful. he adds. If this enmity

The official count of the votes cast by

EVENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS
Panama Recognition Approved.

At the Cabinet meeting Nov. 10th
the Panama situation was the sole
topic of discussion. The whole situa-
tion in respect to the revolution out
of which has grown the Republic of
Panama was considered thoroughly
Approval of the course of the Presi-
dent and Secretary Hay in the matter
was given by members of the Cab
met.
No further statements concerning
the organization of the new republic
or the relations between Panama and
the United States regarding the con-
struction of the Isthmian canal will
be made at this time. The situation,
so' far as American interests on the
isthmus are concerned, is regarded to
be in excellent shape.
1t is not regarded as likely that any
additional naval force will be ordered
to the isthmus. Certainly no land
forces will be ordered to Panama. un-
less the situation should take a serious
turn.
An important conference concerning
the Panama situation was held at the
White House just prior to the formal
meeting of the Cabinet. The partici-
pants in the conference were Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Senator Hanna and
members of the Cabinet.
We talked of a variety of topics"
said Senator Hanna. among them the
Panama situation. That is not a po-
litical question-not even technical
one. The people of this country want
an Isthmian canal built, and they want
II built by the Panama route. They
have accepted the Panama route, and
they propose to stand by the President
in the matter of constructing the canal
by that route"
Rear Admiral Glass, commanding
the Pacific Station, arrived at Panama
this morning with the cruiser Marble
head and the gunboat Concord.
BY virtue of his rank. Admiral Glass
will have supreme command over the
navai forces in the vicinity of Panama
There is no expectation here of
hostile clash on the isthmus. for it is
believed that the Colombian govern
ment, when fully advised OF what has
happened, will accept the inevitable,
and not attempt to send troops to at
tack Panama in the face of the United
States naval vessels guarding the ap'
proaches.

asserted was paid to LaFors by Miller.
The governor says that the Whitman

not believe the statement in Miss
Kimmell's affidavit. OF this affidavit
he says. after quoting her letter to Co
BILE asking him to let her put her the

Il am led to believe that Miss KIM
nell at this stage of the proceedings
was willing to present theories to save
Horn. intending. after the commutaton
of Horns sentence. to exonerate Victor
Miller of the imputation cast upon him
by her affidavit.
None of the matters presented to
me in support of the application would
be competent evidence in the trial
court on behalf of Horn.
For these reasons, and with more
regret than l can expresa l do not be-
lieve that law and justice would be
served by the interposition of execu-
tive clemency."

Militia Law Needs Changes.

Among the adjutant generals rec
ommcndation regarding the organized
militia are the following:
That the attention of Congress be
invited to the advisability of a pro
viso in the appropriation bill for the
next fiscal year giving forage to
the horses of mounted militia
troops and of mounted militia
officers while at maneuvers; for
per diem allowance to be made
for the hire of horses of militia
troops and batteries while engaged in
maneuvers; for the furnishing of fuel
for cooking and heating purposes by
the United States while engaged in
maneuvers, and for the furnishing of
straw and hay for bedding of militia
soldiers while engaged in maneuvers.
In order to increase the attendance
at drills and thus secure increased ef-
ficiency of the organized militia, that
governors be permitted to utilize the
allotment of their respective states
under section 1861, Revised Statutes,
for the purpose of furnishing per
diem allowance, not in any case TO
exceed 43 cents per drill of one and
One-half hours, Tor the purpose OF pay
ing enlisted men of the organized MI
litia for attendance at each of the
twenty-four drills annually required by
statute.
That as precedent to participa-
tion in maneuvers. the states and ter
ritories require a sufficient physical
examination for entrance into their or
ganiZed militia.
That states be permitted to retain
rifles and carbines now in use in
militia schools and colleges, instead
of turning them in on receipt of new
arms.
That for the purpose of preserving
order in camp. no troops of the or
ganized militia shall participate in
maneuvers unless the laws of the
state to which the troops belong suf-
ficiently provide fsr the punishment
of disorder.
