IMPORTANT MANEUVERS.
It is Expected That Fifty Thousand
Troops Will Take Part.

Gen. Corbin. commanding the Department
of the East, with the approval of the War
Department, is making plans to mobilize
$4,000 troops, including all the regulars
east of the Mississippi and the militia of
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Penn
sylvania, the District of Columbia, and per-
haps other organizations within a few hun
dred miles of this city early next summer.
to take part in a land campaign similar to
the annual maneuvers of Germany and
France
The plans involve the establishment of
great military encampments forty or fifty
miles apart, and a hostile campaign be-
tween the two bases, Stimulating all the
conditions of an actual state of hostilities
All the branches of the army will be repre-
Sented in the maneuVerS.
1t is probable that the usual army prob
lens at Forts Riley and Thomas next sum-
mer will be much curtailed in order that
the War Department may concentrate its
resources to make the eastern campaign
more memorable.
Gen. Corbin, who saw Secretary Root
about the program yesterday, says he cam
not yet disclose the exact location of the
maneuvers, but it will be close enough to
New York to enable more people to witness
them than have seen any operations here
tofore undertaken in this country. He says
there will be a much greater force engaged
than at any time since the civil war, and
that the campaign will be valuable OBJ
5ect lesson to eastern people. He hopes to
make a more definite announcement re-
garding his plans in a short time.

CURZoN HOLDS A DURBAR.
Makes Speech to Many Prominent Arab
Chiefs Who Attend.

While on his way to Bunder Abbas Per-
STA, the viceroy of India Lord Curzon, held
a durbar at Shargah, which was attended
by many prominent Arab chiefs of that
coast.
He made a significant speech. reaffirming
the intention of Great Britain to maintain
her supremacy in the Persian gulf. and
declared the government adhered to it's
policy of guardianship and protection of
the chiefs.
The viceroy reminded the chiefs of their
engagements not tn enter into agreements
or correspondence with any other power
than Great Britain. not to admit agents
OF any other government and not to alien
ate any part of their territory.
If the chiefs adhered to these engage
ments. as they had done in the past, no one
would be allowed to tamper with their
rights and liberties.
The viceroy concluded with emphasizing
that the influence of the British GoveT1-
ment which maintained the independence
of the chiefs and made the gulf secure to
the ships of all nations. must remain SUI
preme.
The speech of the viceroy to the British
Indian traders who have arrived here SIM
ilarly asserted British ascendancy in trade
and other interests in the Persian gulf
which had been won in competition with
other nations who held cor aspired to

MR.. RATHBoNE's APPEAL.
He Urges That His Request for an In
vestigation Be Granted.

Mr.. e. G. Rathbone who was convicted
in Cuba on charges involving his admin
istration of postal affairs in Cuba during
American occupation of the island, has sent
a letter to the Senate committee on rela-
tons with Cuba. in which he urges that
his request for an investigation by that
and acted on. His letter. addressed to Sen
ator o. H. Platt, is as follows:
II beg to call your attention. to the fact
that Immediately upon my release under
my bond by reason of the general amnesty
act passed by the Cuban congress June Z,
1902, I came at once to the United States
and filed a petition with Congress, asking
FOR a thorough investigation of all my acts
in Cuba.
THAT petition is now known as Senate
document No 40, second session, Fifty
seventh Congress. This was referred to
the Senate committee on relations with
Cuba. of which you are the chairman.
Il came to Washington at the beginning
of the second session of the Fifty-seventh
Congress in December, r902, and remained
until the end of the session, endeavoring
to get your committee to act.
"On February 6, 1903 your committee
1 made a presentation in writing. setting
forth many facts in the matter.
mo action has ever been taken by your
committee, so far as know, except to fur
nish Gen. Wood copies OF the papers and
documents filed by me and to receive his
reply to the charges contained therein
about the 18th instant filed with you
a reply to Gen. Wood.
II renew my request for early action.
II submit that as an. American citizen
am entitled to full and exhaustive inves-
tigation by proper tribunal Of my own
cOuntrymen."

MENACE OF DERELICTS.
Their Destruction on the Transactlan-
tic Lanes Urged.

Commander Switzerland, chief hyrog-
rapher of the navy, in his annual report
says the office has in progress the prepa-
ration of a series of charts intended to
cover every navigable portion Of the
world excepting the United States coasts,
which, when completed, will render avail
able for supply to United States vessels
charts of our own production for every
region that a vessel may be called upon
to visit" One purpose in view in the
preparation of, this series was the estab-
lishment of system of government
chart supply, thus preventing the cutting
off in time of war of the means of OBJ
tanning article absolutely essential
for the safe navigation of our vessels.
THE question of danger from derelicts
is becoming a very grave one to mari
nerS,'' says the chief photographer, par
ticularly to those who traverse the trans
atlantic steamer routes
In this connection regret Is expressed
that no international legislation provides
for the destruction OF such dangers on
the sea.
LAS the matter is becoming of more and
more Importance to safe navigation each
year. and as 1t is fact that our coast is
the birthplace of the great majority Of
derelicts- in the north Atlantic, it is be-
lfeved that 1T would be wise for our gov
eminent to take the initiative in this
matter and to specially detail one prop
erly equipped vessel to patrol the trans
ern limit of the Georges Bank" says the
report, and it is recommended that the
attention of Congress be called to the
matter.

All Because of Ann.

A special dispatch TO the Baltimore Sun
from New York last night says: Charles
Wertz, a Brooklyn policeman, was ar
raigned in the Adams street police court
this morning on a charge of disturbing a
performance at Hyde & Behman's on Tues
day night.
In one scene girls in burnt cork did
minstrel act and one of the questions pro-
pounded by the interlocutor was, How old
is Annf' Each girl in turn gave it up
and finally the interlocutor, turning with
mock seriousness to the audience asked,
perhaps some of you front-row people
might be able to solve the puzzle"
Thereupon up rose Wertz, who. having a
night off, was in civilian dress, and he
tried with the aid of an algebraic formula
to prove that Ann was eighteen. A special
policeman arrested him.
