Army in Case of Intervention.
Washington, Sept. 10. - General
Frederick Funston, who is now ON his
way to Washington under orders from
the War department, will probably be
assigned to command the army in Gu
ba, If Intervention should be found ne
cessary. While orders have not been
issued for the movement of troops to
Cuba, the army was never better pre-
pared for quick action, if it is found
necessary to send them to Cuba.
General Funston is probably as well
informed regarding conditions in the
island as any officer of the army. He
made good reputation in the Philip
pines, and only few months ago at.
tracted attention by the manner in
which he handled the difficult situa.

Criticism is a medicine that
sometimes kills, but often cures. It
cured Lord Byron Of some Of his
early foibles and lordly conceit, and
it is said to have killed John Keats,
an oversensitive young poet. But
taken as whole, criticism IS q
good thing if wisely directed and
properly administered. It corrects
errors, cuttivates taste, and con-
ducts the world in the right paths
to the attainment Of the most
substantial good to the greatest
number.

Mr.. Troy declined to discuss the matter
further than to give out the following
statement:
The Albcmarle and Fnrmvillc Rail-

up wholly of citizens of Charlottes-
vile and Albemarle county. the pur-
pose of the company being to con-
struct much needed and in fact, a
long-contemplated North and South
line through the counties of Abe
male, Fluvanna and Buckingham
The company is entire independent
of any other company and is opera
ting solely on its own account. with
view OF adopting what may be tho
most natural geographical location
and what would be most acceptable
TO such financial interest as may be
Interested in the enterprise.
The results of the company's oper-
atoms in engineering. up to the pres
ent time, are such as to indicate that
the line will most likely connect with
the Chesapeake and Ohio at some
point in Aibemarle county which will
give convenient facilities to and from
Charlottesville as well as the oppo-
site direction, namely Richmond and
Washington. On the south end will
reach the James River section some
where in the vacinity OF Shores or
Bremo.
This undertaking is like many such
local enterprises. being moved along
in quiet way by the company, that

will be brought to d successful COM
pletion. certainly with the co-opera-
ton they are having with the par
ties who will be most interested in
such a line"
