The attle fellows were playing on a railroad crack after a storm, and amusing them- selves by damming a stream of water cunning between the ties. As Schweitz- er went to get a shovelful of earth a train dashed around a sharp curve. Disque had his back to the oncoming rain and was kneeling down. Seeing Disque did not hecd the approach of ‘he train Schweitzer sped back to him and pulled him off the tracks but, ‘hough he got Disque clear of the rails, hc was struck and ground to pieces. The engineer said it was as brave an act as he ever saw.

Cuba h@s begun the organization o an army, the details of which have been received at{the War Department. The wcleus has already been organized and ‘comprises 150 Cubans, who are to be itationed at{ the Cabana Fortress. Capt. D. B, Aultman, of the Artillery Corps, has been in charge of the re- sruiting, discipline and training of the men, who have now become capable soldiers. The requirements for —- re- ‘ruits are the same as are applied to men enlisted for the American army, except that the period of service is for two years instead of three, while the chest measurement of recruits may be lower- ed one inch on account of the smaller stature of the Cubans. The uniform will be of khaki, with a distinctive in- signia, such as knots on the shoulders. The cap will be similar to that worn by the rural guard and the leggings the same as those in use by the police of Havana. The pay of these Cuban soldiers will be the same as that of soldiers of the Artillery Corps of the army, and pay- ments are to be made monthly from the island funds. The recruits will be in structed in the school of the soldier and, when thoroughly proficient there- in, well trained and disciplined in the coast artillery defenses. This is the first step toward the formation of a Cu ban army. Receipts Show a Decrease.

The receipts from the several sources of revenue are given as follows: Spirits $10,234,432, increase $867.472; tobacco $3,475,673, decrease $1,680,623; fermented liquors $0.070,418, increase $1,368,106: oleomargarine $406,002, in- crease $71,881: special taxes not else- where enumerated $3,381,508. increase $414,977; miscellaneous $2,055,771, de- crease $1,430,300.

Acting Secretary of the Navy Hackett received the reply of Admiral Schley to the letter recently submitted to him by the department declining to question Rear Admiral Howison as to the authen- ticity of the alleged interview with him reflecting upon Admiral Schley. The re- ply was sent to Captain Lemley, judge advocate of the court of inquiry. This means that, so far as the department is concerned, further action on the Howi- son incident will not be taken, that be- ing left to the court. The collector at Nogales, Ariz., Wil- liam M. Hoey, and Deputy and Chinese Inspector B. F. Frank How and another Chinaman. who lives at Clifton, Ariz., have been arrested on the charge of being implicated in smuggling Chinese into the United States. Striking bricklayers at the Washington Navy Yard returned to work, their de mand for union wages having been granted. The ig Alabama has been ac cepted by the Navy Department. Important dispatches bearing upon the Schley controversy are missing from the Navy Department records. One of the missing documents was important, in that it proved dereliction on the part of Admiral Sampson. Acting Secreta Hackett had a conference with Admiral Schley’s counsel. Our New Possessions. Owing to the extreme difficulties of communication and the diversified lan- guages in use the Philippine Commis- sion found it impossible to unite the civil governments of Isabela De Lu; with that of Nueva Viscaya. For t reason special legislation had to be adopted for the Province of Nueva Vis- caya.
