iayed memorial to the memory of Gen.
Daniel Morgan of revolutionary fame and
the hero of the battle of the Cowpens, will
at last be erected ever his grave by private
subscription. The remains of Gen. Morgan
were buried in Mount Hebron cemetery,
near Winchester, Va, and for many years,

duce Congress to authorize the erection Of

CUBAN HORSE STEALING
INGENIOUS METHOD ADOPTED BY
THE DIsBANDED REBELS.

Some Of the Cuban generals who have
been assisting the Americans in the effort
to disarm and send to their homes the
insurrectionists in the late revolutionary
movement appear to have, dignifed and
legalized the crime of horse stealing in
the most ingenious manner. according to
reports that have reached the War De-
partment. When the rebel soldiers sur
rendered their arms they were told that
they might keep their horses until they
could reach their homes. Now these horses
had been stolen mostly. and the individual
soldier was told that he must return the
horse to its owner if the latter could show
that the animal was registered according
to the Cuban law. Each of the soldiers
was given a certificate describing the horse
and the conditions under which he might
be returned to the real owner.
i Two facts made this reclamation well
nigh impossible In most cases. In the first
place, only small proportion of the horses
in Cuba were registered, SO that no matter
how thoroughly a farmer could identify
these rebels he could not obtain posses
sion Of the animal for lack of the registra-
ton certificate. In the second place, the
disbanded rebels before returning to their
homes took care to exchange horses, SO
that an animal stolen in Santiago would
not be returned to that province, but would
find home in Pinar del Rio
This state of affairs was made worse, ac-
cording to report. by the action of some
Cuban generals actually issuing certificates
in blank to the disbanded soldiers SO that
it was possible for them to continue in
definitely to steal horses. all that was neces-
sary for them to do being to pick out a
likely horse. make sure that it was not
registered. fill in the blank certificate with
the description Of the animal and defy the
owner to reclaim 1t.
1t is only fair to state that the insurgent
generals deny indignantly that they have
given away any of these blank certificates,
but the fact is stated in the report that
such certificates have actually been found
In the hands of disbanded soldiers.

WANT TO GET BACK.
Six Discharged Colored Soldiers Apply
for Re-enIistment

Washington, Dec. 12.-The imme-
diate result of a memorandum of Sec
retary Taft to the military secretary
outlining the procedure to be follow
ed by enlisted men of the Twenty-ffth
infantry who were discharged without
honor, was the visit today to the war
department of six of the discharged
colored men who applied for re-enlist-
ment declaring that they were inno-
cent of all completely and knowledge
of the affair at Brownsville. The men
had no documentary evidence to pre-
sent establishing this fact. but their
applications were submitted and re-
ceived upon the assurance that such
testimony would be forthcoming at
once.
Secretary Taft, who will pass upon
the cases of the discharged men before
taking them to the president, said to-
day that nothing beyond receiving the
applications for re-enlistment would
be done until the replies of the presi-
dent and himself to the senate resolu-
tions of inquiry are submitted. The
evidence furnished yesterday by Gill
christ Stewart. who is acting for a
number of men, the secretary also
said, will. be gone into carefully and be
taken into account in the final adtudi-
cation of the matter.

CYCLERS PEGGING AWAY
Walthour and Bcdem Unable to Make
Up "That lap

New York Dec. 12.-Walthour and
Bedell seem unable to make up the lap
they are behind the other y teams
that remain in the bicycle race at Mad
ison Square Garden. This may be due
in a measure to the fact that for the
last 20 hours Bedell has been suffering
from indigestion so that his stomach has
not been able to retain solid food.
WalthOur and Bedell twice during last
night set the crowd wild with determin-
ed sprints to gain the lap and once
early today they nearly succeeded.
Bedell started the squirt and gained
nearly a quarter of a lap; then Walt
hour picked up his mate and continued
the race. But just as it seemed as if
he would catch the flying bunch ahead
of him HOLSTERS wheel wobbled and
Root ran into him causing a spill. IN
der the rules governing a fall Walt
hours effort did not count and he gave
up the attempt for the time. Att a. m.
the u leading teams had scored 1,013
miles and laps and Walthour and
Bedell one lap less. This is nearly "a
miles behind the record of 1,O93 miles
and 1 lap made by Miller and Waller in
1899.
The score at O'Clock which conclud-
ed the 56th hour of the race, was l OBS
miles laps for all the teams except
the Walthour-Bedel team which was
one lap behind.
