Captain Pcrshings Promotion.

Captain John J. Pershing, Fifteenth

gadler general, obtains his great pro-
motion at the expense Of 257 captains,
364 majors, 131 lieutenant colonies.

extraordinary advancement is Cap
tain P~ershing's work while command

country of MindanaO, in 1902. In It's
extent and results his would have
ranked during our civil war as one Of
a thousand raids into the enemy's
country 10 which no special attention
was paid. There is very considerable
difference Of opinion IN army circles
as TO the military value of the exploit,
some officers maintaining that il &C

nent, and that. SO far from beng an
expedition into country unknown TO
Americans, officers with small escorts
had several times ~traversed this DIS
trlcr without causing any ~blOodshed
whatever. or even being threatened.
The Sun is therefore quite right in
asking whether Captain PeTshing's
promotion was really earned. To us
II seems as II it could be justified only
on The ground that killing a certain

weak from loss Of blood he was not
unconscious. After a careful eXamina-

the Stewart S~anitOrium where his case
can be watched and the bullet ex-
tracted, which will doubtless he done

THINK HOUSE is GONE
Chief Irwin Has Grave Doubts About
His Nrightsvillc Beach Cottage.

Chief H. c. Irwin is entertaining
very grave doubts today as to the
condition of rs cottage on Wrights-
vile beach which was swept by one of
the most terrific storms in years all
day yesterday, and during the latter
pat OF the night preceding.
Chief Irwin has received a telegram
from his family who have been
spending the summer on the beach,
that all got across from the beach to
the mainland safe, after spending half
q day waiting on the south side of
Banks channel for relief.
In view Of the fact that FIVE new
channels are reported 10 have been
washed through the long sand that
constituted the beach, the chief be-
lieves that a number or cottages have
been washed away, and has serious
doubts as to the condition Of his own
cottage.
Chief Irwin estimates that he will
be out from three to fOur thousand
dollars if the havoc wrought yester-
day touched his cottage.-Charlotte

FUNSTON IN WASHINGTON
VIII Sail From Tampa for Cuba on
Sunday Night.

Washington, September 2O.-General
Frederick Funston in obedience to or
ders from Secretary Taft, arrived here
today on his way to Cuba. No addi-
tional orders have been issued regard
ing Gen. Funston since the first n
calling him here, and he will proceed
to Cuba with as much expedition as
possible. 1t was found that he could
not leave Tampa until Sunday night
and so he has delayed his departure
from this city until Saturday. General
Funston says that further than his
orders from the secretary. he knows
nothing of the duty for which he is de-
stned. General Funston is particu-
larly acqua 'nted with the conditions
existing before the Spanish war, and.
it is pointed ont at the department, is
prepared to give the secretary more
information than any other man in the
army on that subject.
Naturally the visit of General Funs-
ton revives the discussion about mis-
probable command in Cuba IN case the
United States i~nterveneS and sends an
army 10 Cuba, but the general had
nothing to say on that matter.
