MILITARY POST NEAR SHERIDAN
War Department IlcportM Favorably

WASHINGTON. Jnn. 13. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Wnr department. In renponae
to n renucst of the house committee on
military nffalrK , has made the following re
port on the bill to complete the establish
ment and erection of n military post near
the city of Sheridan , Wyo
"Tho location of thu military post nt
Sheridan Is In the midst of territory sur
rounded by Indlnn reserv.itlons , those of
the Crows nnd Choyenneo being In close
proximity nnd containing approximately
3,500 Indlnne. The northern Cheycnncs are
r.arllko nnd trouble frequently arises be
tween the settlers nnd this tribe. In recent
years serious conflict on many occasions has
only been averted by the prompt arrival of
troops.
"On npprovnl of the secretary of war of
the recommendation of the major general
commanding , the army , by reason of peti
tions from settlers of northern Wyoming ,
temporary barracks wore constructed there
last year and n permanent supply of wnter
secured. The location ot these barracks
IB In the center of the country ln\olved , on
a line of railway , giving facilities for moy-
Ing troops. Extensive coal mines nre being
developed In Iho region named , giving cheap
fuel and range nnd forngo for producing
hardy horsea Incomparable. A supply of puio
water In practlcnlly unlimited quantities Is
assured. The dry climate would bo ex
tremely beneficial to troops and the expense
of supplies to the cavalry post would bo re
duced to the minimum with the advantage
of having soldiers stationed on lines of rnll-
road communication nnd In close proximity
to thcso Indian reservations.
"Ports McKlnney and Ouster , established
nhry the country was In nn unsettled con
dition nnd before railroad communication ,
have been abandoned , the former on account
of the dilapidated condition of the buildings
nnd tbo want of railroad facilities ; the latter
on account of the Impurity of the water
supply and the condition ot tbo buildings
AN OBJECT LESSON.
In a IlcNtntirnnt.
A physician puts the query : Have you
Dover noticed in any largo restaurant at
lunch or dinner tltuo the number of hearty ,
vigorous old men ut the tables ; men whoso
ngea run from 00 to SO years ; many of them
bald and all perhaps gray , but none of them
fcoblo or acnllo ?
Perhaps the spectacle Is BO common as to
have escaped your observation or comment ,
but nevertheless It Is an object lesson which
means somuthlne.
If jou will notlco what thcso hearty old
follows arc eating jou will observe that they
are not munching bran crackers nor gingerly
picking their way through a raonu card ol
now tangled health foods , on the contrary ,
they seem to prefer n juicy roast of beef , u
properly turned loin of mutton , and even thu
deadly broiled lobetcr Is not altogether Ig
nored.
The point of all this Is that a vigorous old
ngii depends upon good digestion and plenty
of wholcsomo food nnd not upon dieting and
an omlca\or to llvo upon bran crackers.
There Is a certain class ot food cranks whc
eoom to believe the meat , coffee and manj
other good things are rank poisons , but these
rada\erous , sickly looking Individuals ore i
walking condemnation of their own theories
The matter In a nutshell Is that If tin
stomach secretes the natural digestive Julco :
In Bufllclent quantity any wholesome foot
will bo promptly digested ; If the stomacl
dors not do so and certain foods cause dls <
trees one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tub <
lots after each meal will remove all difficult ]
because they supply Just what every weal
stomach lacks , pcpeln , bydro-cblorlo acid
diastase and nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act upot
the bowels and in fact are not strictly i
medicine , SB they act almost entirely upoi
the food eaten , digesting It thoroughly am
thus gives a much needed rest and giving at
appetite for the next meal.
Of people who travel nine out of ten usi
Stuart's Djrpepsln Tablets , Knowing then
to bo perfectly safe to use at any time am
alto having found out by experience tha
they are a safeguard aRBlnbt Indigestion It
any form , nnd eating as they have to , at al
hours and all kinds of food , the travellni
public for years have pinned their faith ti
Ktuart's Tablets ,
All druggists sell them at CO cents for ful
elifd packages and any druggist from Malm
to California , If his opinion were asked , vvll

requiring a complete rehablllment of the
post leaving this territory probably more
unprotected than any othrr section of the
western country. The location of the
barracks called Fort Mackenzie Is where the
sanitary conditions arc as nearly perfect us
possible. The water supply Is pure and
abundant , the best facilities exist for mov
ing troops ; a strategic point occupied In
the center of country where1 n feeling of
unonslncAa regarding the action ot the In
dians Is ever present , nnd a menace to the
development of the country. The establish
ment of this post Is recommended by the
secretary of war , the tnajor general com
manding the array nnd the commanding gen
erals ot the Departments of Colorado and
M'ssourl. ' "

dations of the above parties and exhaustive
statements from General C r. Manderson ,
Edward Gillette , civil engineer officials of
the Interior department relative to the ac
quisition ot land for military purposes , nnd

now used for military purposes. The re
port closes with a detailed statement of Im
provements nnd expenditures already made ,
amounting to $21.392.19 for temporary build
ings and $ S&S9 for wntcr supply.
REFORM IN CUBAN JUDICIARY
IlcvlKloii of Criminal MrtlioilN rte
to lie rollouril by Civil Code
Ainvniluicntn.
WASHINGTON , Jan IS. Secretary Uoot
has taken steps to Institute at once sweep
ing reforms In the Judicial svstem In Cuba ,
the animating purpose being to correct ns
soon ns possible the Cuban prison nbuses
which have nlrcndy been the subject of rep
resentations to the Wnr departmen. Gen
eral Wood has been giving this matter his
attention and his Investigations Into the con
ditions ot the prisons and the faults of the
Cubnn judicial system gcnernlly have con-
llrmed Secretary Hoot In his purpose to
apply corrective measures nt the enrlleet
possible moment. To nccompllsh this pur
pose the secretary ha decided to appoint a
commission comprised of three Americans
and an equal number of Cubans. This com
mission will probably consist of Horatio
Rubens , E. L. Conant nnd Mr. Runcle , for
the American side. These nre nil Inwjers ,
well versed In the Spanish cede , ns well as
thoroughly ncqualnted with American
practice.
The Cuban contingent will probably bo
selected by Governor Wood from among the
members of the Havana bar. The commis
sion will meet nt the earliest possible date
la Havana nnd begin at once a revision of
the criminal methods , following this up
later on with amendments ot the civil code ,
where necessary. U Is not the purpose to
outrage local sentiment and disturb well
established practice , except In Instances
where rank Injustice nourishes under It.
But it cannot bo tolerated that persons
charged with the smallest of misdemeanors
and llttlo larcencles should languish , as at
present , for a year in Jail before having
any kind of a trial , and to such abuses as
this , ns well ns to the Incommunicado sys
tem , the commission will devote Its Imme
diate attention.
Mr. Rubens had a consultation with Sec
retary Root today and left Washington for
New York. Ho expects to proceed to
Havana \ln Miami next Wednesdny.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 13. The Italian gov
ernment has signified to the government of
Iho United States In the polite nnd courte
ous way of diplomacy a wish that the por-
6ons guilty of Ijnchlng the flve Italians at
Talulah , La. , last spring should bo punished.
Heretofore in cases of the lynching of Ital
ians the matter has been compromised by
the payment of nn Indemnity , but this does
not meet the present demand of the Italian
government. As under the existing law
the trial and prosecution of such cases as
this Is left entirely to the state authorities ,
the national government is well-nigh helpless -
loss to meet the request ot the Italian gov
ernment.
The Investigation made by the state of
Louisiana was so unsatisfactory that the na
tional government undertook the Investiga
tion through its own agents to learn the
facts attending the lynching. The result of
this Inquiry ! s now on ( lie. But the United
States government nt present cannot make
the report the basis of any legal proceedings
against the Ijnchers.
As nn outcome of this embarrassing posi
tion the president will probably make fresh
representations to congress urging the
speedy passage of the pending bills Intend
ing to remove from state courts jurisdiction
In cases where persons claiming treaty pro
tection nre the victims and transferring Jur-
iEdlctlon over them to the federal courts.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 13. The senate com-
mittco on commerce today resumed Its bearIng -
Ing on the Honna-Payne shipping subsidy
bill. Thomas Clydo of the Clyde Steamship
line was recalled. Ho took up the cost ol
the construction of vessels , their mainte
nance and operation.
Mr. Cl > dc. said that what It was desired
to do by the bill was to encourage low-
speed vessels vessels that would at low
cost extend American export trade.
F. B , Thurbcr , representing the United
States Export association , said the universal
belief among American manufacturers ami
shippers was that this country must have n
merchant marine to export American prod
ucts. The bill , he sold , was a potent factoi
In the Interests of the great masses of la
boring people ot the United States.
Theodore C. Search of Philadelphia , pres
ident of the American Manufacturers' asso
ciation , maintained that the enactment ol
the pending bill would be of immense bcnefll
to the manufacturers ot the country , would
largely Increase American export trade and
would build up u great shipbuilding Indus
try.
Chairman Fr > e announced that the hear
ing would bo adjourned until next Tuesda )
In order that some figures might bo prepared
relating to the general subject under con-
bldoratlon. Up In tbo northwest , ho said
11 considerable opposition to the pending meas-
[ jure had been developed. Jnmix Hill , presl-
dent of the Great Northern railroad , who one

1 In favor ot an export bounty. This wai
likewise true of several Important newspa

( Copyright. 1900. by PreHS Publishing Co. )
nOMD. Jan. 13. ( New York World Cable
gram Special Telegram. ) The pope Is con
templating an order permitting the priests
of the Catholic church to marry. The llrst
step has nlrcndy been tnkcn In the encyclical
to the bishops of South America , In which
permission Is given to the priests theru to
tnko wives unto themselves.
Mgr Gnllcza , rector of the Spanish col
lege In Home , says ithnt the concession
granted by the holy father to priests In
South America Is to meet special conditions.
"I don't think his holiness will issuea
general order releasing nil the priests of
: ho church from their vows of ccllbicy , "
! Mgr. Galleza continued. "This question of
celibacy having been established by n gen
eral council , 1 think that only n general
council would have authority to make u.
change. "
On the other hand Mgr. Tolll , ono of the
most eminent jurists of the Vatican , is
flrmly convinced that the pope purposes to
abolish the rule of celibacy for the prlest-
bood before he dies. Mgr. Tolll says :
"The tiny the pope conceived the great
project of the union of the Christian church
he must have begun to examine nil tbo diffi
culties which might stand in the way. Ono
obstacle , perhaps the greatest of them all ,
Is that in nil denominations except the
Roman church the priests and ministers are
permitted to marry or not , ns they choose.
I bellevo that after mature deliberation
the holy father has i cached the conviction
that the obstacle is not insurmountable. I
am convinced that he will abolish the en
forced celibacy of the clergy. I don't bc-
llevo that thorn will bo a general encyclical
nffectlag itho Catholic church throughout the
world. That would be too revolutionary.
Hut I think the change will come about by
degrees nnd that his order affecting the
priests of South ( America Is the beginning. "
The familiar rumors of a conciliation be
tween the Vatican and the church in Italy
have broken forth afresh , but now they
have become more than mere rumors be
cause there nre slgnlflcnnt facts. The most
Important Is the jublleo nnd the opening
of the sacred door of St. Peter.
Plus IX established the jublleo and the
holy year for 1875 , but when that year camu
the project was abandoned upon the pretext
that the pope being a prisoner , could not
preside over a Jubilee. After mature de
liberation Leo XIII proclnlmed 1900 the holy
year and announced that ho would per
sonally open the sacred door. Those whose
opinion Is authoritative declare that this
action on the part of his holiness can mean
only ono thing , the longed-for reconciliation.
Cardinal Gotti , ono of the most influential
members of the sacred college and urged by
Leo as his successor as pope , said :
"A reconciliation with Italy Is not im
possible. It would be as useful for the
qulrlnal as the Vatican. In the presence
of the dangers which menace the Italian
state , especially socialism , the Roman
church would be a valuable nlly. "
"Upon whit conditions could the alllnnco
bo made ? " tBo cardinal wa < ? asked.
"I think both sides would make conces
slonB , " was his reply.
The Jubilee will bo prolonged until the
end "of the year because the pope holds
that the new century begins on January 1 ,
1901.

LONDON , Jan. 13. Advices to the As
sociated Press from Liberia indicate that
Germany Is emulating Franco in its en
deavor to grab territory and Is working
strenuously to persuade or coerce Liberia
Into accepting a German protectorate. The
latest attempt ha taken the form of a demand -
mand by Herr Ilumplemeyer , the- German
consul at Monrovia , who has just returned
from a visit to lierlln , for Immediate repara
tion for the alleged maltreatment of a Ger
man subject in 1S97.
The case is that of a German planter
named Koch , who , refusing to obey n civil
summons , was taken to the courts by force
He claimed damages. The matter was taken
up In Berlin , has since been pending be
twecn the two governments and , though not
settled by the Llberlan courts , Herr Hum-
plemeycr threatens to tnke severe measures
unless Herr Koch'fl claims are paid.
The Llbcrlan officials fully bellove that
both France and Germany wish to take nd-
vantage of Great Britain's war to force them
to accept a protectorate. The llttlo republic
Is shut off from cnblo communication from
the rest of the world and Is nnxlous to
learn tbo feeling existing at Washington
toward It , as there is a growing sentiment
toward requesting an American or British
protectorate in order to put an end to the
harassing demands. Such Is the Koch case
The French encroachments have been re
ferred to In previous dispatches ,

BERLIN , Jan. ID. The correspondent o
the Associated Press Interviewed the Unltec
States ambassador , Andrew D. White , today
about the present status of the relations be
tween Germany nnd the United States. Mr
Whlto said-
"The Samoan question between the Unltei
States and Germany , the Insurance question
and sundry minor matters have been prac
tically settled. The main questions which re
main are the commercial treaty and the
proper Inspection of American meats. The
fonmer will bo mainly settled at Washing
ton , the latter must depend on the action
ot the Reichstag. Though Ijliu agrarian
party shows bitter hostility to the allevia
tion of the present arrangement , so oppres
sive to American Interests , It Is hoped that
the proposal made In President McKlnley'n
message for the appointment of n spccla
commission may bo accepted.
"There Is no doubt that the government
apart from the agrarians , would bo heartily
glad to see some such fair settlement. This
was foreshadowed when the emperor ex
pressed nt considerable length to mo en New
Year's day , not only his own personal satis
faction , but thnt of tbo German people , a
the part of the cncssngo referring to Ger
