Former Commander of Department of

MAKES OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS

What Ho Would Advise Needs ot De-

WASHINGTON Oct 14 In his ca
pacity of commander of the depart
ment of the Missouri General Henry
C Merriam has made an annual re
port to- the war department He de
votes particular attention to the neces
sity of better drill work by the sol
diers caused by the income of many
troops General Merriam says there
is a notion too often prevalent in the
army especially among the older offi
cers that a soldier who has once
learned the drill regulations the
mechanism of tactical and calestehnic
exercises may be excused from drill
without detriment forgetting that
bodies of men can maintain the power
of collective action only by frequent
collective practice even in the simplest
exercises General Merriam strongly
indorses the recommendation of Cap
tain Michie of the Twelfth cavalry for
a change in the military drill He
says that even with the recent im
provement which has rendered the bit
less severe upon the mounts of young
horses there is still a considerable
percentage of horses made victims by
undue severity in the use of the bit
He believes a return to the double
rein is fully justified for at least half
of each troop
Other recommendations are that the
calibre of the cavalry revolver be en
larged and that a knapsack or pack be
supplied to the infantry -soldier in
place of the blanket bag
A significant statement by Chief
Surgeon Callibo is that with compar
atively few exceptions youths under
20 years of age are not able to bear
up under the hardships and privations
of an active campaign
Surprising progress toward the goal
of self support by the Apache prison
ers of war is recorded in an appendix
by Captain Sayre in charge of those
prisoners He shows that they now
have on hand 2784 head of cattle
of their own raising that they have
built many miles of new fences and re
paired as much more of the old and
that no clothing was issued to them
during the year On the other hand
these Indians are suffering severely
from tuberculosis and there were thir
teen more deaths- than births among
them They are declared to be gen
erally a moral industrious truthful
honest and docile people
Major General Otis in his annual
report for the department of the lakes
says that all buildings in the depart
ment have been maintained in a fair
condition although many have been
without occupancy and show disin
tegration from the climate -
General Otis says that a decided
want in his department is greater ac
commodations for general and gar
rison prisoners The post guardhouses
nave become overcrowded With the
recent rapid recruiting deserters ap
pear to be increasing and at the date
of the generals report August 7
there were considerably over 100 such
prisoners confined in the guardhouses
of the department The central states
from which a large portion of the
United States army is drawn General
Otis says seem to give great advan
tages in the way of concealment and
occupation to the absconding soldier
and hence the post guardhouses of
the department of the lakes contains
representatives of many military or
ganizations stated above the limits of
that department The enlarged re
ward however which is now paid for
the arrest and delivery of deserters
has greatly decreased their former
comparative immunity from punish
ment
Weyler Will Ask for Pensions
MADRID OcL 14 In the forth

RANSOM IS IN REACH
Miss Stones Captors Could Tront by
Coming Quickly Into the Open
CONSTANTINOPLE OcL 14 The
situation in the case of MIbs Stone to
night is that Missionaries Baird and
Haskell are still trying to get in touch
with the brigands in order to agree on
the amount of the ransom It is
scarcely likely that this agreement will
be reached for some days As soon as
word comes from the missionaries that
the amount of the ransom has been de
termined upon a member of the United
Siates legation will start for the place
with the money
BERLIN Oct 12 According to re
ports received here from Sofia the cap
tors of Miss Stone demand that the
ransom shall be deposited at Samokoff
Bulgaria A Bulgarian cattle drover
who was an eye witness of the kid
naping has been arrested on suspicion
of complicity in the outrage at the
instance of the United States consul
BOSTON Oct 12 Kidder Peabody
Co who are handling the funds for
Miss Stones ransom tald today that
they would be unable to make public
anything concerning the amount of
funds in their hands in SDite of the
new appeal for contributions made last
night owing to an understanding with
the United States government
In speaking of the ransom today
Rev Judson Smith said
In my judgment the only safe way
to act is to have the money demanded
by the brigands as a ransom on hand
in Turkey at the earliest practicable
moment
LIBERAL POLICY WITH NAVY
Congress is to Be Urged to Be Generons
in Matter of Building
WASHINGTON Oct 14 It is prob
able that a liberal building policy
with respect to naval ships will be
urged upon congress at the approach
ing session No authorization for
new construction was given by con
gress at the last session owing in part
to a disagreement as to the respective
merits of single and supported tur
rets Congress contented itself with a
direction to the Navy department to
submit full plans for two battleships
and two armored cruisers to it at the
approaching session so that the body
could itself choose between the de
signs
Secretary Long however does not
regard himself as estopped by this
direction from recommending the con
struction of additional warships and
as a full year has been lost in the
executon of the naval bill from the
scheme laid down by the Policy Board
and as more time has been lost
through -the great delay in construc
tion of the ships already authorized
and contracted for owing to the steel
strike a considerable increase must be
recommended in order to avoid fall
ing hopelessly behind in the erection
of the ideal American navy

applied to Governor Savage for the
standing reward offered for the dis

measuring six feet in thickness and at
a depth of 245 feet Both veins are lo
cated in the northwest quarter of the
northeast quarter of section 9 in
township 13 north range 7 in Saund
ers county The farmers insist that
they are the first to discover coal in

the full reward offered by the state

quality and the veins of sufficient
thickness and near anough the sur
face to be profitably worked
The law providing for the award
says that when it shall be made ap

coal not less than twenty six inches

pay to mine and within paying dis
tance of the su face has been discov
ered it shall be the duty of the gover
nor to appoint a suitable person to ex

to report the probable extent and ca
pacity of the vein If the report is
satisfactory to the governor he shall
direct the auditor to draw an order
on the treasurer for 4000 to be paid
to the owner of the mine of coal A
reward of 2000 is offered for the dis
covery of iron ore
DELINQUENT ON THEIR DUES

K Posts Pay Up
LINCOLN Neb Oct 12 General
orders No 7 were issued by R S
Wilcox department commander of Ne
braska Grand Army of the Republic
A short review of the national en
campment was given together with a
few words regarding the showing
which was made by Nebraska Con
cerning the dues of different veterans
the following statement was made
At the date of forwarding the June
consolidated report of the A A G
to national headquarters this depart
ment paid for per capita tax on 1500
comrades who belonged to posts that
had failed to make their report or pay
dues to these headquarters This was
done to keep up our standing at the
next national encampment as our rep
resentation is based upon our June re
port and believing those posts that
were delinquent would certainly send
in their report soon but at this date
notwithstanding special notices have
been sent out the following posts are
delinquent
Nos 17 26 30 33 41 53 58 65 121
122 124 125 127 146 158 182 209 215

266 272 283 287 292 311 315 321 327
328 336 344 346 and 349
The commander trusts that the sim
ple mention of these posts will be the
means of spurring up the officers and
that the department may receive re
ports from them before many days
We need you comrades and you need
us We do not desire to drop you but
unless the reports are in before Jan
uary 1 under our rules and regula
tions such action will have to be
taken
