News of the Post
"* The following clever verses were
composed by Sergeant 11. ('. Wheeler
of troop IL First United Stales cav-
alry. and are in answer to aiyoung
lady whose questions regarding regu-
lars were overheard sergeant Wheel-
er is a son of Mrs. Captain William
B. Wheeler who resides at No. 36
upper Post and is iu the cavalry for
a commission. Mrs. Wheeler has a
husband and two sous iu the regular
army her husband Captain Wihiani
R. Wheeler of the Eighteenth United
States infantry and one son Corporal
Willie Wheeler of the same regiment
being in Iloilo and the Author of these
lines being in Cuba:
A promise! Why. what is a promise?
Is it truth? Is it not? Have you
guessed ?
To a soldier when given it seems
dear.
Of all sacred things the most bless-
ed.
You think dear that soldiers are dif-
ferent
DOUBTS
From others and yet did you care
To examine the inan wearing blue
dear.
You might find a heart beating
there.
Yes! a heart! Yet no one suspects it
A squl? Why. dear girl don't be
rash! I
Whoever iu all this wide world dear.
Could dream for one instant swh
trash?
A conscience? Why. angel you
grieve me.
A conscience may be something
bine;
But I'm sure that it isn't a soldier
/The word is to me wholly new.
/And feeling? Emotion? What non-
sense!
To think that a soldier could feel!
At least there are many who think
not.
Except in the case of "cold steel."
Emotion? Wliy. darling yon won-
der
To think such a thing could be ours
Though the grave of our horse—out-
best friend dear—
We tenderly cover with flowers.
Well no! We're not mejn I'll admit
I it.
many would fain have it so;
"Automatic machines” made to or-
der
Would suit us far better I know.
But sometimes (it may be in streams
dear.)
I think of my mother —and you—
And I long oh so truly to embrace
you.
Just as I used to do
And yet we've no feeling no heart
dear;
But there's laps! So good-night!
Why how queer.
That without heart—without feeling
—or soul pet.
My light is pot out with a tear!
0 The Tenth cavalry will have left
San Antonio befor another day has
dawned and San Antonians will cher-
ish only fond memories of the gallant
and orderly black troopers. As these
lines are written they are engaged in
loading their horses and baggade on
the cars on the government spurmear
the Post and at two o’clock the first
section is scheduled to pull out fol-
lowed an hour later by the (second
section and two hours later by the
third. A section will also pass through
here from Fort Clark early this after-
noon bearing twd troops. The
troopers will arrive in Galveston to-
morrow morning and will go aboard
its transport the Logan immediately
as word has been received that the
boat will get into the Island City to-
night.
V As soon as the Logan can take the
first six troops to Cuba it will return
for the pext six. Captain Stevens
the depot quartermaster at the Post
is fitting them our for the journey
and has ordered 500 individual box
lockers for the men in which they
will pack their personal effects for
transportation to the upland. The
lockers are being made in this city by
a local planing mill.
•Nothing new has developed in the
departure proceedings of the Sixth in-
fantry and the arrival of the trans-
port Grant is anxiously awaited. Cap-
tain Robert R. Stevens the quarter-
master has reoeied a telegram from
the Presidio San Francisco that the
boat has not yet arrived and that he
will be notified as soon as it does. In
about one week from the date of its
arrival the Sixth will leave this Post.
The talk of the re-establishment of
the Department of Texas is creating
considerable interest in army circles
and it appears to be a favored idea. It
it is re-established there is a probab-
ility of some deserving officers at this
Post receiving staff appointments
major Heizeman as department sur-
geon and Captain Robert It. Stevens
as department quartermaster. If any
man in the army deserves a promotion
for faithful and bard work Captain
Stevens does.

heroes Joined it again yesterday for
the first time since distinguishing
himself on the battlefield of San Juan.
This man is Sergeant Foster who as
first sergeant of troop G led his troop
on the charge of San Juan hill after
ail his officers had been shot down.
“He led the troop iu the very face of
a galling fire” says the official re-
port of the squadron commander ‘‘and
showed undaunted courage and gal-
lantry” for which the president com-
missioned him a second lieutenant of
the Tenth United States volunteer in-
fantry from which regiment he was
only mustered out a few days ago. He
is a Texas boy.

OUR DUTY TO WOMEN.
Of The Possessions— Reports of Olli
cers Read.
Grand Rapid*. Mich. April 28. This
mornink’s sessions of the woman suf-
fragists’ convention was occupied with
two Interesting features. One was
the annual report of the national
Treasurer Harriet Taylor Taylor Up-
ton of Ohio and the second a spirit-
ed discussion of the subject "Our
duty to the women of our now pos-
sessions.”
The treasurer reported that from
January 1. 1898 to January 1899 she
had received $14020; disbursed $13-
467 leaving a balance of $553. The
association was in debt $1400 the first
of Januray the war made active
work in the field impossible and the
expenses of the association had to
go on while the sources of revenue
were cut off. During the year the
following have contributed $lOO or
more to the association. Susan B.
Anthony Rev. Anna Howard Shaw
The Church Fund Mrs. Phobe Me-
Krfl of Ohio Helen Mosher .Jones
of Philadelphia; The California Worn-
an Suffrage association The New York
Woman Suffrage association William
Lloyd Garrison of Boston; The Mas-
sachussetts Woman Suffrage associa-
tion Cornelia C. Massey of New Jer-
sey; Miss Emily Holland of New-
York: Miss Sarah 1. Eddy of Rhode
Island and Mrs. A. Viola Neblett .of
South Carolina.
The discussions on "Our Duty to the
Women of our new posesions” proved
to be one of the most interesting feat-
ures of the convention. Rev. Anna
Garland Spencer in leading said we
owed two debts to rhe women of our
now possessions. First the. obligation
to study the present condition of the
women in those "anils in the light of
social evolution and. Second to
adopt such measures of government
and such alone as will conserve the
civilizing powers of womanhood al-
ready at work among those people.
"If we lay violent hands upon the
backward peoples and give them only
| our laws and our political rights as
these relate to women we shall do a.
possible Injustice to the savage wom-
an and through them to the whole
process of social growth. If today in
the Hawaii Islands or in Cuba we
fail to w.-ognize the native women
who still hold .souietlii'ng of the primi-
tive prestige of womanhood fail to
recognize them as entitled to a trans-
lation under new laws and conditions
of the old dignity of position we shall
not only do them an injustice but we
shall forcibly give the Hawaiian and
Cuban men lessons in the wrong and
not the right side of our domestic re-
lat*k>Ds. In other words if we intro-
duce one particle of our belated And
illogical political and legal subjection
of women to men in any savage or
half civilized eommumity we shall
spil thb domestic virtues that com-
muffity already possesses and shall
not (because we cannot abruptly and
violently) inoculate them with the vir-
tues of civilized and domestic life.
To properly adjust these affairs we
need a commission which shall study
domestic rather than political condi-
tions and which shall look for the un-
dercurrents of social growth rather
than the more showy political move-
ments. This commission should have
two archeologists a man and a wom-
an one statesman who could contrive
to join the new and the old ways of
living a teacher capable of diving
the next steps of training for child
life and a person tralined in the best
methods of philanthropic effort.”
Mrs. Speneer suggested that tiie last
named person be a woman and that
one of the archeologists be a woman
and named Alice C Fletcher for the
latter place.
In discussing Rev. .Annu Garlin
Spencer’s paper Octavia William
Bates of Michigan brought out the
following points (1) The necessity for
a commission to take under consider-
ation the social conditions of our new-
ly acquired possessions. (2) That
trained men aud women should be
members of such a commission. (3)
The futility of expecting such a com-
mission will be appointed since wom-
en do not possess political powers. (4)
The advocacy of such a commission
should be carried on because of the
teaching it will bring to the public
mind on the subject of woman suf-
frage.
“Local Work” was the-subjeet of
general discussion at the afternoon
sessions. Mrs. Priscilla D. Hack-
staff. of Brooklyn in speaking on the
subject “How May Local Member-
ship be Increased?” told of her ex-
periences and related how (her league
had outgrown first her own parlors
and then a hall with a seating capa-
city of 200 and how they branched
out and organized another league.
Mrs. Marrianna AV. Chapman presi-
dent of the New York State Woman
Suffrage association followed with
an interesting paper of suffrage work
in city clubs.

FOR THE INSANE
More Accommodations Required ai
The Asylums.
The Light is in receipt of a printed
copy of the resolutions adopted by
the County Commissioners’ court
Tuesday for a bill providing for more
accommodations at the State Lunatic
Asylums. The resolution was draft-
ed and introduced by Commission r
H. B. Salliway and copies were order-
ed mailed to all county judges ami
all County Commissioners’ courts o
the state of .Texas. The resolutions
are as follows:
"Realizing the necessity for imme-
diate action by the various counties
in the state to the end that the one
thousand unfortunate insane persons
now confined in the county jails in
this state for the lack of room in the
State asylums
“And further realizing that a large
number of these unfortunates are wo-
men now confined in the various coun-
ty jails something should be done to
have them placed in the asylums
where they can have the care and at-
tention that humanity demands they
should have
“And further realizing that the pre-
sent term of the Legislature will soon
terminate and if any relief is to be
had it must be done immediately
“Therefore be it resolved that we
request all County Judges and County
Commissioners’ courts of this state
to memorialize their senators and re-
presentatives to pass a bill providing
for additional rooms to each of the
State Lunatic asylums so that these
unfortunates can be taken care of at
the earliest possible date
"And be it further resolved that the
Texas Medical association now in
session In this city be requested to
aid us in bringing this to a successful
issue 1
(‘And further request the press of
the state which is ever ready to aid
in any good cause to publish this cir-
cular so that our present Legislature
will see the necessity of making addi-
tional improvements to all of our
Lunatic asylums so that all of our
unfortuonre insane may be properly
cared fm
