I remember the rOusing cheers given
by the Sixth at Nagasaki, Japan, while
on board the transport Grant, headed
for China, when q cable was received
announcing that Chaffee had been
made major general of volunteers.
Following the cheers was serenade
by the Sixth's famous band. When
history is correctly presented there
will be a page in which 1t is shown
that this American soldier from an
Ohio farm, in the rear rank of a regu
lar troop in 1861. was not only lead
ing spirit in the hurried advance upon
fighting done in that campaign by
Chaffee and his American soldiers was
not equaled by the soldiers of any
other country represented in the expe-
dition.
In China, in 1900, Chaffee conferred
imperishable honor upon the Ameri-
can republic. Who in our little army
would have done better?
ON July 4, 1901, then a major gen.
eral, he assumed command of the
division of the Philippines, and dur
ing the following year and three
months he had more and knottier
problems to solve than any Of his pre-
decessors in command of that import
ant division. 1t was under his admin
istration that Samar, the plague spot
of the islands, was conquered. 1t was
under his administration that two
other plague spots, the provinces OF
Batangas and Tayabas, were thoroly
subdued. It was under his admins
tration that the first telling blow was
struck against the Moros on the island

The first act takes place in the

Washington, Jan. 6.-Some of the
features of the presidents New Years
reception will probably never be re-
peated. Among the diplomats, for in
stance, he greeted General Rafael
Reyes Of Colombia, and M. Bunau-
Varilla of Panama. It is unlikely
that these two men will again appear
at the same social function. other
diplomats who attracted attention
were Sir Mortimer Durand, the stall
wart British ambassador, General Jose
Manuel Hernandez of Venezuela, and a
number of minor personages who have
not yet become known to the world at
large.
Among the notable absentees were
Herr Theodore Won Holleben and M.
Jules Cambon, the late German and
French ambassadors, respectively. At
the last White House reception the
stately German was the dean of the
diplomatic corps. His successor as
Baron Speck Won Sternberg, no less
stately, and having all the qualifica-
tons fthe successful diplomat.
With Panama, there are thirty
seven nations having representatives
in this city, and they all paid their re-
spects to the president on the begin
ming of the new year. Some of the
European countries have a larger list
than this, owing to the presence Of
representatives from a number Of the
small Balkan states, but there is one
popularity Of the American capital
that is noteworthy. In the list of thir-
ty-seven countries having intimate
diplomatic relations with u.s. twenty
are republics, and the majority Of
occasions clad in the simple raiment of
free citizens.
The line reviewed by the president
and his wife showed no other i'm
portant changes until the appearance
of officers of the army and navy. The
place formerly held by General Miles
as commander in chief was taken by
General Young, his successor, now
known as the chief of the general staff,
and Major General Corbin had given
up his station as adjutant general to
General Chaffee. Mrs. Miles was
present for only a short time, and hur-
ried home to prepare for her own re-
went on the retired list. This Miles
reception was in the nature of an ova-
ton to a veteran retired officer. In
former years the calls Of army off,
GERS to the Miles home were purely
formal and perfunctory, but this year
there was spontaneity and kindness
about 1t that did not fail to leave a
lasting impression.
Senator Clark Of Montana has in.
formed friends here that he will not
return to Washington until about the
middle of January. He has success
fully undergone a delicate operation
/ upon one Of his ears, and will be con.
fined to his house for at least a fort

REASON FOR 1EsERTIoN

American Seamen Don't Like to Have
= 49, Foreigners Above Them.
g., H. H. Byrne, in Harper's Weekly
The great number of assertions in
the navy at the present time is appall-
ing. It is one of the greatest, if not
the greatest problem with which the
navy department has yet had to con-
tend. During a single month recently
there were 800 deserters. The reason
for this disgrace to the pride of our
country" can be attributed to many
causes. -
an experiment has been made which
has, it seems, proved a complete fail
ure. Recruiting stations, in charge of
naval officers have been opened thru
out the interior of the country. Here
are enlisted men of almost every occu-
patton, When a sufficient number are
recruited they are sent in crowds to
the different receiving ships on the At
lantic and Pacific coasts, where they
are again transferred to training ships.
On these they are given five weeks
training in the rudiments of seaman
ship; they are then drafted to regular
1Ier-of-war and entered upon the rou-
tire of the service. Here they become
known as incubator sailors AS q
seen salt water, and haveSless idea OF
is POSSIBLE to imagine. This sudden
change of living Invariably brings on
dissatisfaction. Ali this, of course
only tends to increase the raw recruits
dissa uisfacticn.
Our navy is by no means free from
foreigners-it.is, in fact, Aoverburdene6
with them. Many of them, on account
of their seamanship, are made petty
officers Thus, born and bred Ameri.
cans are Superseded in the service OF
their own country by foreigners, many
of whom can hardly speak the English
language. Tho these foreigners are
always good marines, being for the
most part Norwegians and Swedes
they have not the knack of discipline
and are intolerable to anyone with
American principles. Again, accord.
ing to the present system of maintain.
ing the navy, sailor is never settled
that is, he: never knows how long he i
to remain aboard the vessel on which
he is serving. Hence he loses al
interest in his own ship, being con.
stantly thrown among strangers.
In spite Of. the new rations intro
duced into the. service it is not much
better off. The men are now, as al
ways, required to pay in part for theil
meals, OIL. of their own pockets. The
equivalent to rations served is sup
posed to be thirty cents, in which cas-.
the men, never receive the benefit O
the cheapness of the market. If al
rations1 were committed, instead O
every fourth one, as at present, which
only SIS a month, to pay SO Of thi
amount for his own subsistence,
would go far toward relieving tn
service of one of it's worst faults, an,
one that is causing great numbers t,

So spoke, and enthusiastically,
soldier who had watched the military
career of Major General Adna r.
Chaffee, who to-day becomes lieuten-
ant general and chief of staff, the
highest rank in the American army.
Forty-two years and five months
seems like long time, but think of
the step from the lowest rank in the
army and without missing rank,
save that of corporal, to the highest.
A book might be devoted to the
services of Lieutenant General Chaffee,
for he has been a soldier in active
Ohio boy more than forty-two years
ago. He missed none of the cam
paigns or the great battles of the
army of the Potomac, and was with
Sheridan in the Shenandoah valley
when that officer won his greatest vic
|
general and major general. He had
done so we'll, was SO perfect a soldier,
so godo fighter, that within two years
he received a commission as second
| lieutenant and two years later an
other promotion, and in 1857 was cap
tain of cavalry in the regiment in
which he had enlisted as a private.
He is one of the not large number of
officers who missed none Of the i'm
portant Indian campaigns, from the
end of the civil war until the close of
the Indian campaigns, and in
all he was a veritable thunderbolt, a
leader whose examples were an in
commanded. In the Spanish-Ameri-
can war he was at the front in the
one great battle of that war, a volun-
teer brigadier general in command of
a brigade, and part of the time of a di-
vision. Nearly all of the men under
war in that battle. Chaffee had been
in fifty battles and skirmishes and re-
allied how important it was that those
untried men have confidence in them
selves and their officers, and from the
opening to the close of the fight no
more constantly exposed to bullets,
shot and shell. When spoken to
about exposing himself he quietly said:
Never mind me; I want to let those
men know that it takes great many
bullets to hurt a man." In that battle
he had many narrow escapes; bullets
tore holes in his uniform and clipped
off buttons. That battle would not
have been won but for just such
soldiders as General Chaffee. 1t was
a close shave to a defeat for our
army, and had the Americans beer
defeated, possibly the Spanish-Ameri.
can war would still be in progress.
