. WA8HINOTON. Oct. 13. In his capacity
of commander of tho Department of the
Missouri Oenernl Henry C. Morrlnm has
made n.n annual report to tho Wnr dcpnrt
tnont. Ho dovotcs particular nttontlon t(i
tho necessity of better drill work by tho
eoldlors cnuscd by tlin Income of many
troops. Oenernl Merrlnm says thcro Is a
notion too often prevalent In tho nrmy, es
pecially among tho older oinccrs, Unit n
soldier who hns onco learned tho dctnlls of
the drill, regulations, tho mechanism of
tactical find enlesthoulo exercises, mar bo
excused from drill without detriment, for
getting that bodies of men can maintain
tho power of collective action only by fre
quent collective prnctlco oven In tho
simplest exercises. General Merrlam
atrongly Indorses tho recommendation of
Captain Mlchlo of tho Twelfth cavalry for
a change, in tho cavalry drill. Hn says thai
even with tho recont Improvement which
hns rendered the bit less severe upon tho
mounts of young horses thoro Is still o
considerable percentage of horsos made vlo
tlms by undue severity In the uso of the hit.
Ho believes a return to tho doublo rein Is
fully Justlflod for at lenat half of each
troop.
Other recommendations oro that tlio
oallbro of tho cavalry rovolvor bo enlarged
and that n knapsack or pack bo supplied
to the Infantry voldlor In place of tho
blanket bag.
Too Much for 4 hp Ilo),
A significant statement by Chief Sur
geon Celllbo Is that, with comparatively
few oxceptlons, youths under 20 years of
See wo not able to bear up under the hard
ships and privations of an nctlvo cam
paign. Surprising progress toward the goal of
self-support by the Apache prisoners of
war Is recorded in an appendix by Captain
Sayro, In chargo of those prlsonors. Ho
hows that t hoy now have on hand 2,731
head of cattle of their own raising; that
they haro built many miles of new fences
and repaired, ns much morn of the old and
that no clothing was Issued to them during
tho year. On the other band theso Indians
Vro suffering severely from tuberculosis
and there were thirteen moro deaths than
births among thoni. They aro declared to
be generally n moral. Industrious, truthful,
honest and docllo people.
Oil Anita .Hurt- Hooin,
Major Doncrnl Otis, In his annual re
port for tho Department of the Lnkcs, says
that all buildings In the department havn
boon maintained In a fair condition, al
though many have been without occupancy
nnd show disintegration from the climate.
Gcnoral Otis says that u decided want in 1
sis department Is greater accommodations
Tor general und garrison prisoners. Tho
post guardhouscH havo hecomo over
crowded. With tho recent rapid recruiting
deserters appear to ho Increasing, nnd at
tho dato of tho general's roport August 7
there were considerably over 100 such pris
oners confined In tho guardhouses of tho
lepurtment, The central states, front which
b. largo portion of tho United States army
ts drawn, Oenoral Otis says, seem to glvo
great advantages In the way of conceal
ment and occupation to tho absconding sol
dier, and henco the post guardhouses of
the Department of tho Lukes contains rep
resentatives of many mtlltnry organizations
tated above the limits of that depart
Incnt. Tho enlargod reward, however,
which Is now paid for tho nrrost nnd de
livery of desertors has greatly decreased
.their former comparntlvo Immunity from
punishment.
Up to August of this year all tho post
garrisons in the department had labored
tinder a scarcity In officers, but this scarcity
of ofllcers began to ho made up In August.
General Oils rails attention to tho fact
'.hot tho very large money expenditure, as
Ihown by tho supply ofllcers' reports, was
paid out for tho moat part on contracts
executed In Chicago, Kansas City and other
joints for the delivery of clothing, equip
page and subsistence shippod to troops
In our Island possessions, and not for the
'expenses of tho department proper.

years, nrd his two sons,
JAMES AND WINFIELD OILLETAND,

All three bodies were rohctlcd, but in
the effort John Nicholson and John linker,
miners, were seriously ovetcomo by black
damp. Near the home of the Ollletnnds Is
n deserted nlr shaft. Today tho boys were
playing around the shaft, which Is boarded
up for nbout two feet from the ground.
James climbed lo the top, shouting to his
brother. Then he leaned over the top of
the sbnft. A sudden gust of the death
fumes struck him nnd with n scream he
fell forward Into tho pll. His brother
rushed to the top of tho shaft nnd
slid down n rickety ladder. From
tho home, not many yards away, the
elder Olllctnud saw his boys go down thn
shaft. Realizing tholr danger, he rushed
to the pit nnd. regardless of his own safety,
hurried down tho hole. Ily this time n
number of other Inmates of the house
hurried to the shaft. Thoy went to the
top und peered In, but only faint groans
were heard. About half wny down the
little shaft the body of tho father had
lodged. His white face and glnssv eyes
were turned upward. Tho light jnd nlr
told that the gas hnd done Its work quickly.
The news of the tragedy sprend over Dun
bar nnd Franklin townships nnd In n few
hours the whole countryside bad flocked
to the scone of the deaths. The difficult
problem nf how lo dear the denth trap to
recover tho bodies was finally solved by
John Nicholson, who rigged up n farmer's
windmill, used for cleaning whent, In such
a way as to fan pure nlr Into tho hole.
Nicholson nnd John linker, who had for
yearr, woiked beside Gllletand, wcro then
lowered Into tho shaft. Gllletaud's body
was soon hoisted to tho top, and at the
bottom wero found tho bodies of tho two
boys, entwined In u denth embrace. After
the dead cnnie the rescuers to tho sur
face nnd as soon as I hey reached the pure
air both fainted. Late tonight physicians
say the men are In a serious condition.

letter received Sunday morning by Chief
Dounhuo from nn uncle of Crowe living
In Manchester. In., whoso name tho chief
desires withheld. This lot! nr. which la
brief and to tho point, rends as follows;
n I ES li.lt, In.. Oct. 1- l!))l.-Chief
,..J., -- iinie in n iftYlird Ol
Joo.tmo hanging over tho heml of Pat Crowe,
he wishcK to state to you n ml the polio
of Oinaha that If the reward Is withdrawn
V'." '"!r ,,rr ''"self nnd Htnnd a fair
trial In the courts of Omaliii. I'.cwiiiil to
be withdrawn on or before November 1.
1!K)1. From (
I'licle of Pat Crowe.
Chief Donahue snld: "1 am personally
acquainted with the writer of the fore
going letter and know him to he a hub
stantlnl business man, who would say noth
ing thnt ho does not mean. 1 um sntlsfled
also that he hns been authorized by Pat
Crowe, his nephew, to name these terms.
Tomorrow I shall comply with his request
and recommend the rownrds bo wlthdrnwn.
"I understand that Mr. Cudahy ts nlso In
favor of withdrawing the rewords, nn In
terview with hi in to thnt effect having
appeared in The Dee, and I don't doubt
but that the city council will do ns we
wish, Blnco It seems that the rownrds de
feat now tho very purpose for which they
wcro originally olTerod.
Ileiiiiii III Crime' .Method.
"It is not dlfllcult to understand why Pat
Crowo should want to remain In hiding ns
long n3 the rewards aro outstanding against,
him. He Is nfrnld ho will bo 'Jobbed,' and
tho fonr ts not without renson. Fifty thou
sand dollars ts ii largo sum of money and
there are thousands of unscrupulous men
In tho country who would bo tempted by
It to perjure themselves In order to se
curo Crown's conviction. The messenger
Who camo to mo from Crowe a fow days ago,
as reported in The Deo nn Saturday, said
Crow? wasn'L afraid of me, or of Shields.
Power or nny of tho rest of the city or
county officers, but ho wns afraid of certain
other men. 'These fellow, ' tho messenger
said, 'couldn't make $50,000 easier than by
getting on the stand nnd swearing to n He.
It Is more money Ihnn Is usually paid for
perjured testimony.' So I think the cheap,
est, best nnd quickest wny to close this
Incident Is lo 'pull down the rewards,' as
Crowe suggests, and hnvo him come In to
bo placed on trlnl."
Another letter, which purports to hnvo
been written by Crowo himself, has been
brought to the nttontlon of Chief Donahue
within the lust, twenty-four hours. It wns
printed In n local newspaper Sunday morn
ing, whoro It occupied something over n
column ef spuce. A rambling, disjointed
composition, sprinkled with metrical limita
tions and touching upon a variety of topics,
It dealt with tho blblo as nn Inspired work,
with the hardships of the Doers In South
Africa, with the Jelfersonlan period, or
I'nlted States history, and Incldentnlly hnd
something to sny on tho subject of tho
terms upon which tho alleged nulhor would
surrender himself. Theso terms nre tho
satno as have reached tho chief through
two other sources during Ihn Inst ten days
thoy demand the withdrnwnl of tho reward.
Chief Donahue says ho thinks Pat Crowo
wroto this lotlcr, though he hns nothing
better on which to bnso his Judgment than
the fact thnt certain cunt phrases used aro
the same ns thoso used In a typewritten
loiter by Crown to Edwnrd Cudahy last
spring, which was published In nil the
Oinaha ncwupapors nt tho time. In both
letters a referenco Is mndo to n "kangaroo
court," to "Jeffcrsonlnn principles of gov
ernment" nnd to "tho legend of ancient
tradition." Thn chief has no specimens of
Pnt Crowe's handwriting moro recent than
thirteen years ago, and these have virtually
no features in common with the rhlrogrnphy
of the letter published Sunday morning,
However, the chief Is posltlvo tho letter Is
genuine.
f'lilrf linn the Letter.
This communication Is now In tho
chief's possession. It comprises fourteen
mnniisrrlpt pages, written In lend pencil
upon ehenp ruled writing pupor such iib
comes In tablets for school use. It Is with
out a date-lino and tho name of the town
whero It was written dors not appear. The
largo envelope In which It was mailed was
addressed lo an Omaha newspaper, but thn
Inclosuro was addressed to "J, J. Donahue,
Chief of Police." Tho postmark, which
might he expected to glvo tho nnmo of tho
town whero It was mailed, Is not legible, It
Is understood, though this rnnnot bo con
firmed, ns tlio envelope thus far has not
found ita way Into the chief's hands, belnn
rot a I nod by the newspaper.
In this letter Crowo Is represented ns
saying thnt ho can furnish a $500 bond, but
no more, ami this ho wants permission to
give, He doesn't wnnt lo bo locked up until
a Jury has found him guilty. "Your answer
to this," the wrltor ndds, "must bear tho
signatures of Edwnrd Cudahy, Oovernor
Savage, Sheriff John Power, Attorney
Shlolds, Chief J. Donahue and the Judge
that fixes the bond, Let mo know your
decision through the newspapers,"
"If Crown comes In and gives himself
up," snld thn chief, "a chargo of robbery
will probably be tiled against him, nnd
then ho will be permitted to glvo tho ?M0
bonds. I think wo will have no troublo In
complying with his terms."
