For the past thirty years the regular soldiers have been stationed at one, two and occasionally three or four company posts, where they were rarely, if ever, drilled in anything except company drills. On the other hand, the state volunteers in their armories and at their summer en- campments have for the past thirty years been frequently drilled from the first po- sition of a soldier to and including the evolutions of the brigade, which, in my judgment, better qualifies the volunteers for immediate service in the field than the regulars. The conduct of the Pennsyl- yania volunteers when called out to sup- press riots at Pittsburg and Hazelton illus- trates as a whole the excellent discipline and soldiery bearing of our volunteers and their worth for immediate service in the field. I might also invite attention to the soldiery bearing and excellent discipline of the New Jersey volunteers during their an- nual encampment at Sea Girt. This article is not written for the pur- pese of unfavorably criticising the regu- Jars. The condition of affairs in our coun- try for the past thirty years was such that it would have been unwise to have placed regiments and brigades at a few posts and left others unoccupied. The volunteer is the soldier we rely on in time of war, and up to this date he has never falied to do his full duty. During the late civil war many of the volunteers when first they entered the service had never handled a gun, but such is not the case now. R.

BaF RESULT OF AUTOPSY Seige eS There was not a very large. attendance at the Canty trial this morning, although the court room was comfortabiy * filled: The prisoner cccupied his usual seat and lo®ked mere worried than he has at any time since the shooting. He engaged in earnest conversation with his partner in business, Mr. Van Senden, when not watching the proceedings closely. Mrs. Canty, the wife of the prisoner, and his mother were present, together with his father, and his wife's sister and father. After the usual preliminaries, Dr. Wil- liam M. Gray, the microscopist, went on the stand. Mr. Davis continued his ques- tioning with regard to experiments made with powder stains on cloth. Mr. Worth- ington objected to the testimeny, on the ground that the evidence of eye-witnesses should precede such testimony. After some little discussion, Judge Cole said that while he would not at this time make a final decision, he rather held that such eye-witLesses should testify first. Dr Gray was accordingly excused and Wm. H. Diggs was called. Mr. Worthington made the objection that the gidress of the witness had not been furnished him, but it was stated by the witness that he had moved since the sum- mons was served on him. Judge Cole over- Tuled Mr. Worthington’s objection. Mr. Diggs said the first shot fired the day of the shocting passed about eight inches in front of his wheel, which he was riding at the time in front of the Ebbitt House. He had previously noticed Mr. Canty standing on the corner. Upon hearing the shot he dismounted and looked in the di- rection from which the bullet came. He saw Canty standing cn the curbstone, and Rye was about twelve feet from him, in the street. Then he heard three shots in rapid succession, saw Rye fall and heard him cry, “murder.” ‘The witness was then turned over to Mr. Worthington for cross-examination. Rye was standing, the witness said, in re- sponse to questions, with his left side to- ward Canty, but did not have his back turned toward the prisoner until after all tha shots had been fired. After Rye fell Canty started down F street at a mod=rate pace. topped, however, and stepped into the s t, and then the witness took hold of hima, having ridden after him on his wheel. H2 was standing still, however, when the witness reachel hun. Mr. Worthington then asked the witne what was said between him and Mr. Canty. District Attorney Davis objected to the avestion and asked th3 witness what Canty had done with his revolver. Witness r plied that Canty had returned it to his pocket. Mr. Davis therétpon objected again to Mr. Worthington’s; qyestion on the ground that the reply’ would relat> to a t transaction. Mr. Bavig held that any aration which Mr. Canty might have made after he had walked away should not be admitted as testimbny. Had the statement made been 4 part of the act b2- fore Mr. Canty had time toJexercise his in- tellectual faculties, he said, the matter might be admitted. Mi Worthington pro- posed that th? authorities be brought into play to decide the poin In the meantime Dr. Glazebrook was re- called, and, in response to_interrog: propounded by Mr. Worthington, that there was a third wound, merely a su- perficial or glance round, however, on the third finger of Rye’s left hand, Citing the Authorities. The citation of authoritiéS was then be- gun, Mr. Davis having the opening and Mr. Worthington the closing, and consumed ail the time up to the noon recess. At the conclusion of the reading, Judge Cole said he would prefer not to deliver an opinion on this point until after he had seen the government's case. He said the defense could recall the witness for cross- examination later,and at that time he would deliver an opinion, which would cover this point. Mr. Wilson then made some suggestions on the question, after which court was ad- journed until 1 o'clock. z Just before adjournment Mr. Worthing- ton suggested that as the witness might be- come sick or die, and so be unable to be re- called for such cross-examination, the court should hear the testimony at this time, in view of the absence of the jury, which has been excused for recess during the citation of the authorities. Judge Cole agreed to this, and heard what Mr. Worthington had to say with regard to the answer the wit- ness would make. The court then sus- tained Mr. Davis’ objection, for the time being, the matter being allowed to go over until the government's case.had been pre- sented more fully. Proceedings Yesterday. When The Siar’s report of yesterday clos- ed Mr. Worthington, of counsel for the de- fense, was making a statement to court and jury. He had referred to the open knife found by witnesses, and said it was in Rye’s possession when the shooting took place. ‘The jury would be struck, he thought, by the remarkable discrepancy in the state- ments of the witnesses, in regard to the shooting. There might be witnesses, he said, who would testify that the dead man was shot in the back, but it would be shown that the shooting was while Canty faced Rye. 5 The First Witness. Henry W. Brewer, a civil engineer and surveyor, was the first witness called for the prosecution. He explained a map which he had made of the scene of the shooting, in the vicinity of 14th and F streets. Harry A. Wise, a photographer, was next called, and exhibited photographs of the locality. They were marked and placed for evidence, William Schonneberger, a janitor at the first precinct station ard superintendent of the morgue, was next examined. He was asked to identify the clothes worn by Rye when the body was taken to the morgue, and did so. He said that some money, a watch ani chain, diamond stud, pocket knife and other small articles came from the clothing. There were also papers, he said. In taking off the trousers, he said, a bullet dropped from them, which was turned over to Dr. Glazebrook. Deputy Coroner's Testimony. Dr. L. M. Glazebrook, defluty coroner of the District, was next examined. He told of tho examination hé, hag, made, of the body of Rye at the moggue,: He examined the body as he found itdiressed. He stated that he found a hole in the idpel of the coat and one dirzctly under ¥t; also one in the skirt. He told of the gppgarance of the prisoner’s body at the aytopsy he per- formed. ‘ es Microscopint-Catied. Dr. Wm. M. Gray, a Shictdscopist at the Medical’ Museum, was ‘next called... The clothing of the dead mgn,had been turned over to him by Mr.-Dayis to be subjected to @ ‘microscopical to ascer- tain whether or not thé ere any pow- der marks on it. Mr. Ington object- ed to his testimony, hor on the ground that the clothing had m traced di- ‘ot rectly from the deceased on the day ofthe shooting to the court room. After a great deal of discussion witness was allowed to state that he found no powder burns on the ccat.~ The question of expert testimony. was being discussed again by Messrs. Wor- thingtow and “Davis when Judge Cole, at 8:15 o'clock, said that he would have to ad- Journ court for the day,” 23 Cervera to Attack a Port. A special cable to ths New York Journat HOUSE DISTRICT COMMITTEE Bills on the Calendar Taken Up for Consid- eration. Pension of Fircmeu and Policemen— ‘Taking Up Unused Tracks—Steam Engineering and Plumbing. Having reported and passed through the House of Representatives forty-nine bills at ihis session of Congress relating to lo- cal affairs, the House District committee is preparing to ease away upon its faithful labcrs. Next Monday will be District day in the House, and it is proposed then to clear up @s many biils of importance as possible, So that less time thereafter need be de- voted to District affairs. With this obiect in view, the committee devoted the greeter part of today to going through its calendar and selecting meas- ures to be reported’ to the House next Monday. There was a large attendance of members of the committee, and full con- sideration given the bills acted upon. Policemen and Firemen’s Relief. The policem2n and firemen’s relief Dill was favorably acted upon. The bill pro- vides that any policeman or fireman in the Service of the District of Columbia who by injury received or disease contracted in the Ine of his duty shall become so perma- nently disabled as to be discharged fron: service therefor, or having reached the age of sixty years, and having served as such police for not less than twenty years cott- Unuously, shall be retired by order of the Commissioners, may, in the discretion of the Commissioners, be granted a pension Not to exceed a sum equal to one-fourth of the salary paid him at the time of his dis- charge. Provision is made for the families of deceased policemen or firemen. Hereafter the Commissioners shall deduct $1 2ach month from the pay of each police- man and fireman, to which shall be added any balance now remaining in the present police fund, and also all fines collected -in the police courts of the District, to be invested in United States or District of Co- lumbia bonds, to b2 expended in pursuance of this law. In case the funds so heid shall not be sufficient in any year to meet the drafts of the same, then a sum sufficient to make up the deficit shall be taken from the fund of the District of Columbia d2rived from liquor licenses. Unused Tracks Taken Up. A favorable report was made on Senate bill 914, to compel stret railway companies to remove their tracks if they have not been used for sixty days. An am2ndment Was adopted to the bill providing thut after one year no horse cars shall run on the tracks of any rapid-transit street railway company. To Regulate Steam Engineering. A favorable report was made on the Commissioners’ bill (House bill 9683) to reg- ulate steam engineering and the inspection oz stationary steam engines and boilers in the District of Columbia. The Commissioners’ bill (House 10294) relative to the control of wharf property and certain public squares was favorably reported. The bill vests in the Commission- ers absolute control of the wharf property of the United States or the District of Co- lumbia. The committee took a recess at noon until 1 o'clock, when it assembled again and re- sumed consideration of business. More Clerks Authorized. The War Department was given $50,000 for the employment of such additional force of clerks, messenge laborers and other assistants as in the judgment of the Sec- retary of War may be proper and neces- sary to the prompt, efficient and accurate dispatch of official business in the War De- partment and its bureaus, to be allotted by the Secretary of War to such bureaus and offices as the exigencies of the existing situation may demand. The Navy Department was given one stenographer at the rate of $1,800 per an- num. ‘The Treasury Department was provided for as follows: = Office of auditor for the War Depart- ment—For eight clerks of class four; seven- teen clerks of class three; ten clerks of class two, and thirty clerks of class one; in all, $59,866.32, or so much thereof as may be necessary. Office of auditor for the Navy Depart- Mment—For two clerks of class three; three clerks of class two; four clerks of class one; six clerks at the rate of $1,000 per an- num each, and four clerks at the rate of $900 each; in ali, $13,285.72, or so much thereof as may be necessary. ——____-e- INJURIES TO THE WINSLOW. Its Condition is Much Worse Than Was Supposed. Reports received here from Key West show that the condition of the little tor- pedo boat Winslow is much worse than was supposed, and it will be necessary, in all probability, to have her go to Norfolk for repairs. One shot smashed her low- pressure starboard cylinder and another traversed one of her boilers. It would be possible to get along under one boiler and reduce the starboard engine from a quad- ruple to a triple expansion, but the efti- ciency of the boat would be very much low- ered thereby. Following a few days late upon the news of the terrific assault on the Winslow and her disablement came through the mails an official report from Commander McCalla of the Marblehead of an engagement the little boat was in a day or two before she came to grief. It reflects great credit upon the officers and men of the craft. It reads as follows: “U. 8. 8. MACHIAS, off Cardenas, ‘ “May 11, 18¥8. “The Machias, Wilmington, Hudson and Winslow proceeded in as far as the ob- structions would allow. The Machias took up position about 2,100 yards northeast of Diana Cay. The Wilmington, with the Hudson and Winslow, proceeded between Romery and Blanco Cays, where I felt quite certain there were no mines, depth of water by the chart being 1% fathoms. The vessels found no trouble in entering, and were soon steaming into Cardenas bay. I opened fire on Diana Cay signal station and sent the launch, with Ensign Willard in charge, to take possession of the station and find the wires and explode the mines if possible, or cut them. No wires were found, however, although strict search was made for them on the island and by dredg- ing around it. Mr. Willard accomplished the work in an excellent manner, destroy- ing the station and all government prop- erty, which had been abandoned in a very hurried manner, and as a signal of his suc- cess hoisted the American flag on the signal station and brought on board the Spanish flag, together with the signal apparatus. At 1:40 p.m. fire opened from the Hudson and Winslow, and was continued until 3 p.m., when the vessels returned to the outer an- chorage.” ——__e-— DECORATION DAY.

McGUIRE WITH LEE. Stonewall Jackson's Medical Director Again in Service. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va., May 18.—Dr. Hunter McGuire, the famous surgeon of Richmond, Va., who was during the civil war medical director of Stonewall Jackson's corps, has accepted a position on the staff of Major General Fitzhugh Lee, and will accompany that general to the front or wherever else the latter may be ordered as soon as he recovers from a tem- porary illness with which he is now sus- fering. Dr. McGuire is at present sojourning with his family at the White Sulphur Springs, where he was yesterday seen by a reporter of The Star at his cottage, the same which Was at one time occupied by Mrs, U. 8. Grant. Asked as to his views on various matters growing out of the war between the United States and Spain Dr. McGuire replied as follows: “The changes in military surgery since the close of the war between the states are very great, and a man who was considered skillful and proficient in his profession in that war, if he has not kept up his studies, will have to learn everything over again nowadays. “We had anaesthetics in the days of 1861 to 1865, but knew nothing of antiseptics, which in these times are so important and essential to the saving of life. “The modern missile is entirely different from what was used in the war between the states; then a soldier who could shoot once a minute was regarded as skillful; now with a magazine gun he can shoot twenty or thirty times as often. The mis- sile itself is very different; the steel-jacket- ed bullet from a Krupp-Jorgensen gun goes through a wall one brick thick at 1,200 yards, or equal to through the bodies of seven men in line at that distance. “Doctors will not as easily find a safe place during the modern battle as they did in the olden time. There will be a necessi- ty for a larger number of assistant sur- geons, because there will be the danger of more deaths from hemorrhages on the bat- tlefield; possibly nurses as well as assistant surgeons should be taught how to arrest hemorrhage. “Had we known anything about anti- septics when Stonewall Jackson was wounded his life might have been saved. Clean antiseptic surgery can be practiced on the modern battlefield, and it will make an immense difference in the mortality. “I think the war will be a brief one, un- less some other nation comes in, and, if so, it will be almost interminable. But even after we have taken Cuba and the other Spanish possessions in the West Indies (we already have the Philippine Islands), which we will soon do, Spain will probably pro- long the war by refusing to agree to its termination, or she will have lost all her colonial pos: ions and her armies and fleets. - “How, then, we can be able to make her accept terms of peace it is difficult to see. uhey are a brave, arrogant, tenacious peo- ple, and may give us trouble even after being thoroughly and honestly whipped. “I think the government ought to annex Hawali, hold on to the Philippine Islands, and, if it ever becomes necessary, hi alliance with England. I am convinced that we have got to have that alliance be- fore long. “France thorougMly despises us, and will soon join with the other Latin nations against us. It will then be a question of whether the Slavs and the Latins shall gov- jo-Saxons. FOR A PROTECTORATE. Minority Report Submitted on Hi The mincrity report on Hawaiian an- nexation, signed by Dinsmore, tk, Williams and Howard of the com- mittee, sets out eight reasons against an- nexation and. offers a substitute resolu- tion practically establishing a protectorate over the islands. They declare that the Hawaiian people have not been consulted; hor the American people, charging the only hope for annexation is under the cry of “war emergency” before the people can be consulted. The other counts specified against annexation are that annexation in the manner propcsed is unconstitutionai; the islands too remote and furnish too much additional coast line to be defended; the popuiation 1s not racially nor re- igiously nor otherwise homogeneous with cur own; political dominion over the isl- ands is not commercially necessary; the islands are not frem a naval or military standpoint necesary to our defense; and that, admitting that Its foreign occupation would be dangerous to us and that “there exists a single nation willing in the face of our repeated diplomatic declarations of our position to incur the dangers of war with us in order to sieze or hold them,” this danger may be met when the first overt act or cpen declaration shows its actual existence, or may be prevented by the passage of the minority resolution heretofore cited. ee en —_—_———+-e.
