There has been a suspicion in the
army that the sabres carried by the
cavalry could not be sharpened without
violating the provisions of the Geneva
Convention. and one of the cavalry Off
GERS now stationed in the Philippines
has asked for ain official expression
from the War Department on this sub
ject on the ground that officers general
ly believe that it is not permissible to
grind sabres when fighting a civilized
enemy. Judge Advocate General Davis
finds nothing which brings the charac-
ter of this inquiry within the exception
of Paragraph SAT of the Army Regula-
tons, and the Secretary of War has an
nounced that the sharpening of sabres
is not violation of the laws of war,
nor of any of the conventions which
have been accepted by the United
States. either expressly or by implica-
ton. for the government of it's military
forces when engaged in actual opera
lions The Geneva Convention and its
modification relate to the care and neu-
tralization of the sick and wounded in
time of war.

ARMY MATTERS.
Many Claims Held Up Pending Settle
ment of War Question.

Washington, April 19.-The War De-
partment has in it's possession claims
amounting to about $4,000 from COM
missioned officers and enlisted men of
the service who have lost personal prop
erty while in the military service by
reason of the elements. This includes
the damage done by the storm at Gal
weston. and the hurricane, at Porto Rico.
Owing to a provision in a law of 1885 1t
is impossible to settle claims of this
kind in time of war or hostilities with
the Indians, and the accounting officers
of the Treasury have decided that it is
time of war with all officers and enlist
ed men when they are in receipt of the
increased pay authorized by the act of
Congress approved May 26, 1900. For
this reason the various claims received
cannot be adjusted. The War Depart
ment submitted to Congress at the last
session the draft of bill for the relief
of those officers and men, but nothing
was done in the matter, and the result
is that although the country is not act
ually at war, the claims cannot be set
tied until the peculiar conditions which
find some soldiers in receipt of extra
pay are removed or offset by new legis-
lation. In the mean time numerous
claims are on file in the
quartermaster generals office.

The War Department has arranged
the details for the detail of line officers
to duty in the ordnance department.
There has been dearth of officers who
are willing to accept such duty, and
the prospect was that there would not
be enough officers to discharge the du-
ties of the corps. This was due to the
fact that a great deal of technical abil-
ity was required, and no extra compen-
sation was provided. Now second lieu
tenants as well as first lieutenants are
eligible to detail, but those selected
must pass an examination satisfactory
to board of ordnance officers. This
examination will be held on June 90 in
Washington. Candidates stationed at
distant posts will be permitted to ap-
pear before an officer designated to con-
duet an examination, the result of
which will be sent to Washington in a
sealed package and delivered to the
board of officers on June 20.
