osERTs SPRINGS SENSATION.
Says Military Force Of England is
Entirely inadequate.

London.-Field Marshal Lord Rob
erts created a sensation in the house
of lords Monday evening, when, in a
lengthy and well considered speech,
he deliberately expressed his opinion
as a practical soldier that the military
force of Great Britain was inadequate,
imperfectly trained and totally unfit
to uphold Great Britain as a first-class
power. Lord Roberts did not blame
the government, which he said was
actuated by a national feeling, but he
scathingly attacked the people of
England, who, he said. showed no ma
tional feeling toward the military un.
til danger arose. Then, said Lord
Roberts, the soldier was the pet of
the people, but this was only an eva
nescent enthusiasm which did not en-
tail self-sacrlfice. and passed away as
soon as the danger disappeared.

resentatives OF many countries and
the special ambassadors and naval au-
thorities sent from the United States

The formal ceremony consisted OF
the delivery of the body by General
Porter as the finder and custodian, to
Mr.. Loomis, representing the United
States, appointed TO receive II, and Mr..
Loomls commissioning Admiral Sigs-
bee to transport It to America.
At the conclusion of the service
Admiral Charnin's sailors bore the
body through a doorway where a cor
tege proceeded to the esplanade Of
the Invalides.
On reaching the Invalides. the body
was placed on a high structure, where
il was surrounded by French and
American officers, while the American
and French naval and military forces
filed slowly by rendering military hon.
ors TO the dead.
Following the review the body was
placed in a mortuary chapel at the
railroad station, where French and
American marines guarded II until
the departure of the train for Cher
bourg.

led to twenty.three men being con.

ordered executions to be stopped, and
applied to st. Petersburg for instruc-

all mutineers must be shot. and a
shooting party was formed, but when
the order to fire was given the firing
squad turned and fred on the officers
instead of on the condemned mutt

Other troops, including Cossacks, the
account says, were summoned, and a
serious conflict developed in which be-

were killed before the mutiny was
quelled.
