TARY EXPERIENCE.
ABOVE JAPANESE EXCELLENCE
The islanders May Fairly Take Rank
AZ the crsek Corps Of the
Forces Of the United
States.

Havana--Enriched by constant prac.
tlce In every department Of military
experience save the supreme. test OF
battle, the army of Cuban paciiication,
after a bloodless campaign OF six
months. may fairly take rank as the
crack corps of the forces of the United
States. Without having been called
upon to fire a shot or make single
hostile demonstration. Il has to its
credit list OF achievements OF which
officers and men are Justly proud.
Among It's moral trlumphs have
been the maintenance of standard OF
discipline and sanitation Of more than
Japanese excellence and the preserVa-
ton OF perfect self-control while I'm
contact with an unsympathetic popu-
lation. Its greatest material achieve
ment has been the production based
on countless reconnaissance and sur
yeys Of chart OF the island Of Cuba.
which officers declare to be the most
infinitely perfect military map in ex.
istence. With the completion OF this
work, the possibility OF successfully
carrying on guerilla tactics such as
formerly enabled the Cubans indefi.
nltely to prolong their revolution
against the overwhelming forces Of
Spain may be said to have vanished.
Familiar with island Topography.
Should United States troops ever
be called up TO take the field in Cuba,
they Will begin the campaign with the
inestimable advantage OF perfect IA.
mIllarity with the topography OF the
whole island, including every trail
and bypath and every mountain fast
ness in which Gomez. Garcia, Maceo
and other heroes Of the war for indie
pendence were wont to bid defiance
to Spanish pursuit. Added to this
the increase in railroad facilities and
the completion OF the projected sys.
tenn OF highways throughout the IS
land will AFFORD such ready means for
the rapid transportation of troops
that will make any attempt at hostile
concentration little short Of impos-
sible.

IRISH COUNCIL
IS REPUDIATED
LARGEST CONVENTION EVER AS.
sEMBLED IN IRELAND ACTED
ON oovERNMENT's OFFER.
VOTE HOME RULE OR NOTHING
The Keynote Of the Speeches Was
That the Bill Was an Insult 10
The irish Nation-"0od
Save ireland"

Dublln.--The largest, most repre-
sentative and most harmonious con.
vention which ever assembled In Ire.
land repudiSted the plan for a limited
council. which was all the liberal gov.
eminent had to offer In fulfilIment Of
its campaign promises. This action
killed the hope OF any home rule legis-
lation by the present parliament, Gre
ated q serious split in the govern
ment's forces and may have far.reach-
ing results.
The temper OF the coKIenlion was
plain from the beginning. No one had
q word TO offer In behalf OF the bill.
Home rule OF nothing was the unani-
nous sentiment, and the resolution re-
jecting the measure proposed by John
j.. Redmond commanded every vote.
The Irish paTliRmentarians had been
deluged with resolutions from town
councils and all sorts OF otfcial and
unofficial bodies since they arrived in
Dublin, all denouncing the bill. The
country spoke In an unmIstakable
voice and the Irish members of par.
lament cheerfully acquiesced in Its
will.
Three thousand delegates came here
20 attend the convention and soon
after the doors of the Mansion house
were opened II was impossible TO get
into the building. which was packed
most uncomfortably. Tho gathering
was quieter than most irish political
meetings. II lacked the spirit OF the
old home rule gatherings. when Dayitt,
Dillon. Heaiy and other fiery orators
had the center OF the stage. The
speeches were temperate and there
was llttl denunciatlon Of the govern.
ment except for the outbreak OF a
priest, who attempted 10 make the bill
a church issue and was rebuked,
everything went smoothly. The Amer.
lean delegates were all greeted en-
Enthusiastically. They keynote OF the
speeches and OF several resolutions in.
troduced was that the bill was an in.
suit to ireland.
Richard Croker was eheered at the
evening session of the convention,
when the chaidman announced that be
had contributed $500 to the Irish par
liamentary fund.
Subsequently resolutions were adopt.

New York-A terrific explosion in

a condition verglng upon panic pre-.

not until police had been summoned
that anything like order was restored.
The cause of the explosion has not

OF the neighborhood believe the act
due to the so-called Black Hand so
ciety. The police incline to believe
that II was due to negligence. A few
days ago there was celebration in
the Italian quarter and the police think
that one Of the aerial bombs used
on that occasion found its way into
an ash can and was discharged. When
the explosion came the ash can dis
appeared and every person within n
radius OF so feet was thrown to the
ground. The children who were most
seriously injured we're playing near the
