GETS COURT.MARTIAL REPORT.
Papers in Col. Hubbard Case Sent
to the President.

Judge Advocate General Crowder has
completed his review of the proceedings
of the courtmartial in the case of Lieut.
Col Elmer w. Hubbard of the Coast Ar
tilery Corps, stationed at Fort Moultrie,
S. c.. and the papers have been forward
ed to the President for his action. Col
Hubbard was tried by general court
martial convened at Galveston. Tex. on
the charge of conduct to the prejudice OF
good order and military discipline Maj.
Frank w. Coe of the Coast Artillery
Corps, acted as counsel for Col. Hubbard
He first entered a plea of mental TIRE
sponsibility of the accused at the time OF
the alleged misconduct.
On advice from Washington the court
declined to accept that plea and another
plea was submitted, alleging mental ir-
responsibility at the time of the trial
The findings of the court have not been
disclosed and the submission of the case
to the President Is not significant on that
point, as, the court having been ordered
by him. the record naturally goes to him
for approval or disapproval.

who is riding across Europe from
Bucharest to Paris, to which capital he
has been dispatched on a special mis-

rides the same horse, while a second
horse carries the luggage.
All were in the best condition after
crossing the Tyrclese mountains, ST.
Gothard. the Durka passes. and the
great Scheidegg. The highest attitudes
reached were between 1000 and 5000
feet, where deep snow and occasional
snowstorms retarded the journey. 1t
took Capt. Paun forty days to reach
Lausanne. whence he departed after a
short rest for Paris. The distance be-
tween the capitals in a bee line is 1900
miles.

instant with a child on each arm. Thus
handicapped, he was unable to swim,

VI-THE PEOPLE.

An American who was court dentist to
the royal house of Braganza when 1t was
in a better position to pay for gold filings
than 1t is ever likely to be again says
that for years he has received occasional
letters from home addressed to Lisbon.
Spain" While a majority, even of those
who have not studied geography since
their school days. know that Lisbon Is
not in Spain, there exists a widespread
impression that the Portuguese and Span
iards are very similar people. and that
Portugal is virtually part of the larger
Of the two countries occupying the Iberian
peninsula. 1t is commonly. though igno-
rantly, asserted that the Portuguese diff
fers from the Spaniard only in that he is
little more shiftless and slovenly.
Injustice is done to fairly clearly race
when 1t is thus 1ntimated that the Span
Iards are untdy as we'll as indolent. In
accuracy of statement is INDUCED in when
1t Is said that the Portuguese is merely
an inferior type Of Spaniard. Each of
the two reflects to an extent the physical
characteristics of his country. The Span
lard has dignity that suggests the gaunt
.mpressiveness of the Andalusian uplands
and the cool aloofness of the Sierras. The
Portuguese is as smiling as the vinegar
OF Portugal that cling to the sunny hill
slopes. or the green. palm-studded fields
that run down to the sea. Shiftless he
may be. and not especially neat, but he
is man with whom the stranger within
the gates becomes readily acquainted
and who will always go out Of his way to
accommodate the traveller without expec-
tatton of recompense. He is not without
virtues and faults of his own that give
him distinct individuality among ma
| tionals." The Scotch are not more UNI
like the English than the PortuRuese are
unlike the Spanish. and the Irish are no
more unwilling to be ruled by aliens than
the Portuguese would be to be governed
by Spain.

The intense devotion to children that
is found among Portuguese of all
classes may be counted
Kindness of distinctive national
~. characteristic. The gen.
ness, as contrasted with the Spaniard's
inherent delight in cruelty, is reflected
in the manner in which the Portuguese
conduct bull fights. In Spain the spec
tacle is one of hideous cruelty. At
every bull fight numerous bulls are
killed and numerous horses are ripped
open by the horns of Infatuated bulls
for the amusement of the throng In the
amphitheater. In Portugal neither
bulls nor horses are killed. The fight
has some of the pictorial brilliancy of
Spanish exhibition, but no harm is
done. The horns of the bull are pad
ded at the tip. The encounter between
the bull and the men, mounted and on
foot, is one in which there is ample
opportunity for the display OF agility
upon the part of men, bulls and horses.
All three classes of participants are
knocked about no little, and the game
Is sufficiently rough to afford excite
ment for red-blooded people. But at
the end Of the fight the bull is killed
with a wooden sword and retired to a
comfortable stall to be fed
The theater. opera, concerts and "fes-
tas"-the equivalent of the picnic in

a man of different mold and of different
