GENERAL BELL DIES.

New York.-Major General j.
Franklin Bell, commander of the
department of the east, died tonight
at the Presbyterian Hospital in this
city.
His death was due to heart di-
sease. He was taken to the hospi-
tai three days ago for observation,
but it was not realized that his con-
dition was serious and his death
came as a complete surprise. Gen.
Bell was SO years old.
Gen. Bell was West Pointer OF
the class of 1878, and during his 40
years in the army had many difficult
assignment. AS lieutenant he
participated in some Of the hardest
fighting in the Indian campaigns.
He was a first lieutenant in the
Seventh Cavalry when part of that
famous regiment fought the battle
of Wounded Knee in December
1890.
At the beginning of the Spanish
war Bell was promoted to the rank
of major. He sailed from San
Francisco for Manila on June 10
1898. and took a prominent part IN
thte Philippine campaign. One Of
his exploits was to swim out into
the harbor and around the Spanish
Notifications to get information
which could not be obtained in an!
other way.

We hope that one of the good re-
suits of the peace conference will be
the greeting Of autonomy to Pales-
tine. The land of the Fathers has
long struggled under foreign yoke,
first the Assyrians, then the Otto
mans and every tribe that evinced a
desire for conquest picked upon
Palestine as a fitting subject for
their ravages. Amidst the circling
tribes of heathens and barbarians a
little Christian nation has kept the
faith through all these years. Arm
enia now calls out for freedom and
place among the nations of the
world. We trust they shall be CIV
