GEM HAMS WARNED LUDLOW
SON MIGHT KILL ANNIS. HE
TOLD COMMANDANT.

NEW YORK, November 7.-Stories Of
revelry in the United States Army post
at Fort Hamilton, which have followed
disclosures made in letters alleged to have
been written by Mrs. Claudia Hams to
her husband Capt. Peter c. Hams, jr.,
were denied today by Lieut. Col Henry
Ludlow, who has been in command at the
fort. E.
Practically every officer stationed at
Fort Hamilton during the time mentioned
in Mrs. Hams letters has been ordered
to another and, in many instances, a dis
tant post.
to the transfers of officers that Lieut.. Col.
Ludlow took occasion to refute some of
the statements made in Mrs. Hams let
tiers. These letters were written while
Mrs. Hams was living in the officers
quarters at Fort Hamilton, after her hus-
band had been ordered to the Philippines.
IF any investigation ever was made by
the War Department of the reported rev.
elries here the investigation passed
around me-" said Col. Ludlow mo one
ever asked me question about it.
THAT makes me more positive in my
declaration that the revelations made by
Mrs. Hams had nothing to do with the
transfers.
Col Ludlow said he had issued an order
to keep William E. Annis out of the post
after he had received a warning from
Gen. Hams, father of Capt. Hams, that
serious trouble might come if the men
met.
He told me he feared his son would
shoot AnniS," said Col. Ludlow.

American Evacuation Of Cuba.

The evacuation of Cuba by United
States troops is under consideration by
the War Department, especially the
question of transportation. The military
force in the island. consisting of nearly
600 officers and enlisted men. will be
withdrawn in January. 1t is question
whether all the troops should come back
at the same time or be brought back
gradually, making use to the latter end
of one or two of the four large trans
ports which are available for the service.
If all of these transports are used-the
Fitzpatrick, the Sumner, the Meade and
the McClellan-it will even then be neces-.
sary for the vessels to make two trips
each. That plan is favored as an eco
nomical proceeding. which will return the
troops to this country. within two weeks
after the movement begins. If all the
troops are to be brought back at one
time the four transports will have to be
used in connection with as many mer-
chant steamers of equal carrying capac-
ity. That means that four such vessels
would have to be especially chartered for
the occasion.

EXPENSE DISALLOWED.
Treasury Holds Admiral Merrell's
Medical Bill Is Personal.

1t has been held by the Treasury De-
partment that expenses amounting to over
500 incurred by Rear Admiral John p.
Merrell of the War College at Newport. in
going to New York to consult a specialist,
are not such as should be paid by the
government. Admiral Merrell had been
surveyed by a medical board at Newport
and had been advised to consult a spe-
cialist in New York to learn if an opera
ton was necessary for supposed cancer
of the throat The decision holds that 1t
does not appear that the officer was SUBJ
ject to orders of a superior authority
during his leave and was not under the
orders Of medical officers Of the navy.

GEN. WESTON IN ILL HEALTH
COMMANDER OF ARMY IN THE
PHILIPPINES COMING HOME.
Several High Ranking Officers Mem
toned for the Permanent De-
tail to the Archipelago.

Word has reached the War Department
that the health of Maj. Gen. John r.
Weston, commanding the army IN the
Philippines. has become impaired by his
long residence in the tropical climate. and
that on the advice of his physicians he
will relinquish his command as soon as
possible and return to the United states
for rest and recuperation.
Gen. weston Is one Of the best known
officers in the army, and his long, active
career includes service in the civil war,
Indian campaigns. the Spanish war and
the Philippine insurrection. He was COM
missary general Of the army for five
years, when. in October, 1905, he was
transferred to the line. with the advanced
rank of major general. Shortly afterward
he went to the Philippines and was placed
in command of the Department of the
LuZon, which Office he held up to last
winter, when he relieved Maj. Gen. Leon
ard Wood of command of the entire Phil
ippine military division.
Ill Of Recurring Fever.
Before his departure from this country
Gen. Weston was i'll for several months
with aneurism of the heart, but was said
to have entirely recovered from that NAL
ady before he resumed active duty His
different character, being in the nature of
a recurring fever, which is gradually un-
dermining his system. He has already
served more than the allotted tour in the
Philippines and would be relieved from
his present command in few months,
even IL his physical condition did not re-
Quire it..
1t is stated at the War Department that
Gen. Weston's application for permission
to return to the United States will be
granted without question, and the selec-
ton of his successor will be considered
at once. Pending q permanent detail 1t Is
probable that Brig. Gen. T. H. Bliss, COM

Ger in the archipelago, will be placed In
temporary command Of the Philippine
Division.

The Split Delegation.

The split in the delegation from Mary
land is due to the fact that the vote for
the eight electors on each of the two
leading tickets varies widely, while the
reason that the democrats secure more
electors than the republicans is because
the difference between the vote of the
highest and lowest electors on the demo-
cratic side is much less than it is between
the highest and lowest on the republican
side.
AS a result of this difference in the vote
for the several electors the Leading re-
publican elector has a larger vote than
any democrat, but six of the democratic
electors have each greater number OF
votes than the six lowest men on the re-
publican ticket. Consequently the six
lowest republicans are defeated and the
six highest democrats are elected to the
electoral college, along with the two
highest republicans. The memberS-elect
of the electoral college are pledged to
vote, not for the man who carried the
candidate on whose ticket they were
nominated. Hence the democratic elect
ors will vote for Bryan and the repub-
lican electors will vote for Taft.
Conditions Of 1904 Repeated.
The result of the official canvass is al
most a duplication of the conditions which
resulted from the election of 1904. and
seems to prove that Maryland is the
ideally close state" in the country on a
national election.
On the eve of the 1904 election it will be
remembered that The Star was the
only paper in the United States which
in it's political forecast placed Maryland
in the doubtful column, and this was
thoroughly verified by the official returns,
which gave the state to Roosevelt by less
than 100 plurality on the popular vote.
At that election Roosevelt had but one
elector in the electoral college, Charles
J. Bonaparte, now Attorney General OF
the United States, the other electoral votes
going to Judge Parker.
