Missing Bandits .

Santiago de Cubs, Oct. 4--Csptain
Dsugherly Of the Rursles will start sn
investigation as soon as he arrives here
from the scene of the recent campaign
against the Msyarl bandits to determine
what has become OF eighteen or twenty
of the outlaws who, following their re-
cent capture, are now reported as misc
ing.
Dsugherty had already left the field,
his presence there being no longer re-
quired, and there Is strong suspicion
that the Cuban officers left in charge OF
the prisoners put the latter to death.
The Cubans are known TO have been
intensely wrought up sgainst the out
laws, and even before Dsugherty's de-
parture several OF the officers expressed
the opinion that few informal execu-
tons would have a sslutary effect. No
one suspected that they would actually
carry gu; such plan, and If it is proved
that there was massacre, the offenders
will be severely dealt with.

PAUL HAUPT, professor of Semitic
languages in the Johns Hopkins UNI
ve.si,y, Baltimore, who astonished
Biblical students a year ego by fiat
denial that Jonah was ever swallowed
BY whale, has announced that he has
finished his translation Of the Songs OF
Solomon. "The Songs of Solomon"
tn professor ssys, " we're written fully
COO yeais after his reign, which was in
$50 3. G. The book is a collection OF
love songs, dealing particularly with
the love of Christ, who was to come, for
man. Il was written in the neighbor-
hool OF Damascus. Solomon's Songs
are seldom read by great majority OF
Bible students. Their purpose has
never been definitely ascertained, and
the professors suggestion is about as
vague as others that have been made
during the past thousand or more years.
The souudest critics say the Songs are
a collection Astounding in extravsgant
figures of speech, the real meaning of
which is unknown at this late day. Some
theclcgians, however, imagine they see
the gospel hguralively pOrtrayedin Solo
mons Sorgs; other writers are confident
they refer to the glOries of tie Christian
church. The most generally received
oyioio1, however, is that the bold
imagery employed is intended to picture
the celestial Bridegroom and the church
triumphant. This Interpretation, how
ever, is about uncertain as the others.

from President RoosevelPs speech at
Cairo, H., yesterday, when he was giving
his views in regard TO big navy, is sig
nifcant:
The policy of "pesce with iusnlP is
the very worst policy upon which 1t Is
possible 10 embark, whether for nation

aud yet insolent aud aggressive, is to

only safe and honorable rule of foreign
policy for the United States is 10 show
itself courteous toward other nations,
scrupulous not TO infringe upon their
rights, and yet able and ready to defend
its own.
