Great Herd of Picked Animals at
the Presidio.
Cavalry horses to t>s used In chasing
the Philippine insurgents In Luzon
have been and are being rapidly as-
sembled at the Presidio, San Fran-
ciaco, preparatory to.ahlpmtiut to Ma-
nila in special transports. A total of
over 2,000 has already arrived. They
came from different parte of the coun-
try, and many have been shipped.
These are all light-weight animals of
medium size, specially selected for the
service in the Philippines. It has been
found that such horses arc better
adapted to the climatic condl"ons and
to the dashing work of pursuit. The
standard cavalry horse Is much larger
and heavier, but his weight and
strength are not needed for the fast
galloping that will be done by armed
men engaged In running down the
easary to hunt the insurgents out of
their last refuges. Sickness has been
greatly reduced during the short time
the horses have been at the Presidio.
The tick, list. Including almost trivial
complaints, now numbers lta, and the
100 cases of pneumonia have reduced
to thirty. Out of these only live horses
have died, one as the result of injuries
In transportation and four from lung
fever. It is the eastern animals that
have pneumonia, but they are all com-
ing out of It.
Just as men are critically examined
physically before they are accepted for
the army, and especially for tropical
service, so are the horses.
Ae they are sent to Manila In trans-
ports M>e man Is assigned to accom-

Helds.
Two thousand of these equine sprin-
ters will be shipped from San Francis-
co and about 1,000 from Seattle.
Practically every returning Ameri-
can officer declares that cavalry Is
needed to put a speedy end to the in-
surrection. The Filipino was terri-
fied by the wild yells the Americans
gave when charging the native
trenches, and he fled In panic from his
stronghold. Then the colored soldiers
were brought over to strike terror to
his heart. And all along he has had
a terrible dread of the fast moving
horsemen. With these frightful ele-
ments combined In the coming cam-
paign, there is small likelihood that
the Insurgent's life will be a happy
one.

landed In Manila last January, before
the rebellion, with 87 American horses

and 119 government mules, the natives
were mightily awed by the strange
long-eared creatures that were led out
the ship. They soon learned that
these hornless beasts of burden could
travel three times as fast and pull
twice as much as their slow-going
water buffalo that faint and fall down
unless they can wallow In water sev-
eral times a day.
Many hundred head of mules are do-
ing service In the Phillpplnee, hauling
light batteries and supply wagons and
ambulances. They are far more effect-
ive than the hardy little native pony,
which is so small that It takes four
of them to equal one mule at a day’s
work, because the little soft ersature
can labor only half a day at a time and
survive the heat and exhausting exar-
cifl6.
Several hundred of the horaee ar-
rived at the Presidio tick, and prac-
tically all of the ailing ones were from

ing that the western mustang Is har-
dier and better salted to roughing It.
a more likely animal for the moun-
tains of Luson If It should become nec-
pany each 15 animals and care for
them on the voyage.
One notable difference distinguishes
the Kentucky horses from the others.
It is the smallness and trimness, of
their lower legs and ankles. Other-
wise the animals, like the men of X}n-
cle Sam's army, are pretty much of one
general American type, with the same
variations to be found In all the sec-
tions of country from which they
come.
The general army rule prescribes
that cavalry horses must be from 15%
to 16 hands high, and weigh not less
than 950 nor more than 1,150 pounds.
This rule has been modified for the
Philippine campaign, so that horses
shall weigh not less than 950 nor
more than .1,000 pounds, and stand
from 14 hands to 14 hands two Inches.
MANY CHIROQRAPHIC PUZZLES.
Postal Department Has Acquitted Itself
Favors blj.
As a corollary to the recently issued
report of the postmaster general,
where the Item of insufficiently or ob-
scurely addressed letters is dealt with,
it may be noted that the department
had had many tough tasks to deal
with, and has acquitted Itself tri-
umphantly. Once an envelope Intrust-
ed to It on which was Inscribed, “Gro-
fredevi, London," sent from Italy, was
delivered to the eminent scientist, Sir
Humphrey Davy. But perhaps St.
Martin’s most surpassed Itself on
points of cuteness when recently a
letter reached the authorities which
had been posted at Inverness, bear-
ing the rude scrawl, "Tuglmor, pipe,
Colstraly.” Every person was puzzled.
Then It was decided, considering the
quarter whence the missive was sent,
to call in the services of an ex-soldler
of a Highland regiment, a Gaelic
speaker, who was employed as a mall
car driver. .This authority thus read
the Inscription: “Dugal More, piper.
Gold, Australia.” Then the gold rush
to Australia was In full swing, and
Dugal More, It was surmised, was one
of the miners. Months afterward In-
telligence reached the department to
the effect that the addressee had been
discovered. The letter, which was from
his brother, was delivered to Dugal
while he was delighting his Caledonian
comrades on the gold fields by skirl-
ing on the bagpipes.—London Tele-
graph.
Chinese Dally Ufa.
In the Forum, Joseph King Goodrich
tells of life In China. The day begins
early and ends late. The afternoon
siesta Is popular In China, as the In-
habitants have to make up lost aleep In
some manner. The emperor sets an
example of early rising, and It la not
unusual for him to call a cabinet meet-
ing at the unholy hour of t In the
morning. Foreign ambassadors com-
plain that their audlencea are alwaya
granted at 4 or 5 o'clock In the morn-
ing. The sleeping rooms of even the
well-to-do are not comfortable. They
are dark, poorly ventilated cupboards.
The bedstead la of wood, with a cano-
py, and is usually ornately earvad. No

Aa Anchor of the Armada.
A few days ago the crew of a trawler
engaged In lobster fishing near Kln-
•ale had great difficulty In getting their
anchor aboard, which was firmly fixed
in some massive, hard substance in
the sand bank. With great trouble
they succeeded In bringing to the sur-
face a very ancient anchor of five tons
In weight, the shank being over ten
feet In length, and the bend of equal
proportions, with a small antique
cannon attached thereto. The anchor,
which probably belonged to one of the
ships of the Spanish Armada, which
was wrecked on this coast, must have
been Imbedded In the sand for upward
of three centuries, and Is covered with
marine matter which. In the course
of centuries, has been converted Into
a hard, rocky fossil substance. The
anchor Is, of course, considerably
worn, but It still presents a very mas-
sive appearance, and must have be-
longed to a large ship. It has been
brought to the lower slip of the Kin-
sale pier, where it Is at present, and Is
an object of the very greateet Interest
and curiosity.
Where Lincoln Died.
Washington special New York
Times: The house in which Presi-
dent Lincoln died, in Tenth street, be-
tween E end F streets, hss been reno-
vated In accordance with the act of
congress. The building wss In poor
condition, was conspicuous smong
the other houses on the block for its
shabby aspect. Col. Bingham of the
engineer corps hss reported to the war
department that the building hss been
put In excellent condition. It Is now
used as s museum of Lincoln relics.
Whele Meat for Food.
That the Japanese consider saltsd
whale meat s delicacy would appear by
the quantities purchased. The whales
are caught off the coast of Cores, the
flesh sad blubber cat np, salted and
sent to Japan for sals as food. Over
2,000,000 pounds at tbs whale meat was
Imported Into Nagasaki zIols last
year.

CRISIS IN QUATBMALA.
Civilian ZubM ta Bale Sava G ora ra-
tion t's Credit.
“A quaint experience I once had In
the Interior of Guatemala,” said a
former resident of that republic, “fur-
nishes a tiptop Illustration of the way
they run governments In Central
America. I had occasion to vlelt a
small garrison town In the coffee belt
on some business, and found the com-
mandant In a state bordering on dis-
traction. We took dinner together,
and he told me his tale of woe between
courses. His soldiers, It seemed, had
been without pay for over three
months, and, as the government made
no effort to provide them with rations,
they had subsisted on beans, tortillas
and coffee furnished on credit by the
old women of the village. Naturally
this credit had worn itself out, and
two days before I arrived all the old
women went on strike, since which
time the garrison had been practically
without food. Needless to say, the
soldiers were desperate, and they had
determined to desert en bloc and go
back to their farms. I advised the
commandant to telegraph the facts Im-
mediately to the president, and at last
he screwed up enough courage to send
the message. As soon as It was re-
ceived the president sent word to a
wealthy planter ‘requesting’ him to
dispatch some cash instanter to the
commandant. The planter gave the
messenger a $400 bill and rushed him
off on horseback for the village, which
he reached at daybreak next morning.
When the poor commandant saw the
remittance he nearly swooned away,
for under the circumstances 1100 was
about as much use to him as 100 brass
elephants. Nobody in the whole de-
partment could change it, and he was
in the depths of despair until I sud-
denly appeared In the role of good
fairy. I happened to have 100 $1
notes In my saddlebags, and I handed
over the bundle In return for the bill
brought by the courier. The com-
mandant grabbed the package and
kissed me violently on both cheeks.
Glory, hallelpjah! The country waa
saved. Each soldier got a dollar,
which he paid on account, and the
credit of the government was restored.
The garrison howled with Joy and the
old women abed happy tears In the
coffee, which they at once proceeded to
boll. It was a touching scene. If I
ever go back to that place again I
will be treated like a prince.”—New
Orleans Times-Democrat.
