? Kipling.
Tlte first uf these statements is already
true about the cross-country riding class
at Fort Myer. and the latter part will be
realized if the officers and men keep at
the work with their present enthusiasm.
It is all an outgrowth of the President's
test-ride order, but the younger men of
the army have taken hold and are carrying
the thing beyond the strict official interpretation
of the command, but in a
way that is likely to win the approval of
President Roosevelt and redound in a
general-way to the good of the service.
For many years the troopers, and latterly
the artillerymen, at the fort have
been in the habit of giving riding'exhibitions
in the big tan-barked hal! there.
They have done bareback and other rkling
stunts that would be a credit to a circus.
It is all for the good of the men
and the horses, for it gets them familiar

efficient.

Policeman "Jerry" McCarthy saw Jack
Thomas, Sammy Hamilton and George
Ray, colored, begging nickels from passersby
last night on Pennsylvania avenue
and proceeded to arrest them. As he
placed his hands upon the shoulder of
i one of t'nem they bolted and ran. A long
chase in which several citizens participated
followed, and the three were eventually
loaded into the sixth precinct patrol
wagon, but not before one of them pulled
out an ugly looking irpn bar and threatened
to use it. A tightly gripped policeman's
mace and a peremptory order was
sufficient to make liim drop it however,
before any damage was done.
They were convicted In the Police Court
this morning of vagrancy and in default
of $10 line committed to the workhouse
for thirty days each.

cers a good deal of fun was made of putting
a fat colonel on a horse and making
him rover thirty miles a day for a series
of days. It resulted in weeding out some
of the older and more corpulent officers. [
but the youngsters, most of whom were ;
pretty hard anyhow, considered it merely
a lark. Still, a riae of that sort once a ,
year or once in six months meant noth- j
ing toward keeping in condition. What ,
the pond rider* amnnsr the vounger ele
i ment wanted was exercise every day or
: two. polo and that sort of thing. So the
cross-country classes began to be formed.
There was a regular routine, of course, an
order from the President, another from
the Secretary of War and finally one from 1
the post commandant. Col. Hatfield. The;
i material was all ready to hand. The
government has kept at Port Riley, Kan., j
; for some years an officers' riding school, j
| modeled somewhat after the big army
riding schools of France and Italy. The I
I instructor at Riley, by the way, is Capt. j
I Walter Short, who used to be at Fort [
Myer with the 6tli Cavalry. He is one of i
the best horsemen in the army, has
served In tiie Philippines and been detailed
at the French riding school since
he was here. He is a little tougher than
hickory and has managed to embue most
of his graduates at Riley wkh some of
his own enthusiasm. One of these is
j Capt. Hennessy of the .Id Field Artillery.
He was detailed as instructor when it
was decided to institute the cross-country
classes at Myer. The instruction is Riven
on the theory that there is a lot of difference
between a good rider and a good
horseman. There are plenty of the forj
mer in the army, but fewer of the latter
j than the authorities would like to see. So
the instruction has been devoted to getj
ting the riders and the horses in touch

NEW YORK. January 6.?Fuller details
of the release of more than a score
of Castro's political prisoners, their pitia- |
ble condition anil tales of the treatment
they had received in the barbarous dungeons
of Fort San Carlos, on an island
off Maraoaibo, were brought here yesterT
day by passengers who arrived on the
steamship Zulia. the ship that carried the
prisoners from the fort to l a Gualra.
The prisoners, twenty-seven in number,
were men of the best families in Venezuela.
They were all that remained of droves
of prisoners sent to the fort for political
reasons by Castro during his term of
jrower. Their deliverance came because
of Castro's overthrow.
Many Unable to Walk.
The prisoners, when they came aboard i
the Zulia at Maracaibo, presented a cu- ;
rious sight. They were well dressed,
shaved and beards trimmed, but they
were cadaverous ana weaic. Many coma
not walk without assistance.
The prisoners said they had been systematically
starved, the allowance for
their keep presumably going into the
pockets of their jailers or others in the
government employ. They subsisted on
such fish as could be caught off the shore
and cooked hy themselves as well as they
could.
Communication with relatives and
friends or with any one in the outside
world was denied them. They had no
1 tidings of even their own families until
release came.
The Ztilia's passengers were overwhelmed
with pity at the plight of the
poor fellows, many of whom could not
walk even a few steps without painful
limping.
Two who remained inseparable companions
on the ship told of having been
chained together for months to the same
spot and so close together that when
either wanted to move tils fettered leg
he gave the other man warning Otherwise
the chain would chafe the sore
spots where the fetters had bitten into
the flesh.
Families Greet Liberated.
There were tearful scenes at La
Guaira, where the forlorn-looking prisoners
were met by their families and
friends.

San Carlos and of the prisoners, was also
a passenger on the Zulia from &aracalbo
to La Guaira. He is described as
a bony, grizzled man of fifty, and, according
to the passengers, has a somewhat
brutal appearance.
He, perforce, had to go with his own
prisoners. Several military-looking men
accompanied him, ostensibly as a guard ;
against violence from his former captives.
It was suspected they were to <
see. too, that he went nowhere but to j

Where a Horse Will Go.
It is an old. accepted fact among horsemen
that a horse c^n go anywhere that a
man can go if the man does not nse his
hatuls. The horse can usually do the
trick aiso with the man on his back if the
man will stick and let the horse alone.
One of the first principles of the bank
climbing feats of the classes is to sit still
and sit still, and then keep on sitting still.
When it conies to a jump, of course, the
man can help the horse a good deal, but
in the average cross country work the 1
horse does better when he is let alone.
There are sonic impossible looking )
pictures advertising a certain make of
photographic lens in thP back of the
magazines showing Itaiian army officers
going down nearly perpendicular inclines
on horseback. All unknown to the population
of Washington there have been
some almost equally remarkable feats performed
at Fort Myer within the last week
or two. There is one drop down by the
pistol range hack of the fort where the
horses go over the edge of a twelve-foot
drop, sit down and slide and come up
right side up at the bottom.
There are two classes at the fort, one
for officers and the other for non-commissioned
officers. One of the indications
that the men all really take to the work
is that every day when the classes go out
some of tite officers go along voluntarily
with the non-coms and the non-coms Join
the officers' classes in the same way.
English Saddle Used.
The classes use the Knglish hunting
saddle for practice. There are a certain
number of these saddles allowed by the
the steamer, and professed confidence
that his actions us governor at San
Carlos would not only be indorsed, but
commended, at Caracas.

non-commissioned officers have bought |
the saddles with their own money. Enthusiasm
that touches the pocket looks 1
like the real thing. The riders go without
spurs and in many cases without stirrups. ,
It is done for the sake of balance. "Of
course, anybody can ride with a cow
saddle or a McClellan," said one of the
officers. This is not strictly true, as any
tyro knows, but it answers for purposes
of illustration and it indicates why the
riders use the English saddle.
The classes start in the early afternoon
from the fort and the instructor takes
them on a roundabout road for an hour or
so over the worst country he can find. I .
They jump dutches, ford streams, go up
and. down perpendicular banks and loop
the loop across the Arlington cemetery i
wall where there is a good chance.
Some of the officers and men have been ,
scouring the country to find bad spots
that the instructor has overlooked, and
if the classes keep on progressively they
expect to try climbing some of the stone
quarries along the river pretty soon.
War Problems Suggested.
When the classes were started some of

Paid that it was impossible for a horse
to ro over a Rood deal of the country
near the fort. But the instructor put the
proposition to them in this wise:
"Suppose you are surrounded- by an en'krv*

this game country, are you going to make
the stagger to set throcgh o.' are you going
to lie down and get captured? Suppose
you make the rustle ami break a
leg or two: the enemy will get hold of
you, say you are a good fellow and put
you in the hospital with the honors of
war. If you get captured with a whole
s^tin they will say you are a mutt and
put you in jail, and serve you right. too.
"Now, let's take a little problem. You
are surrounded by the enemy You have
important dispatches to get through, and
the only way out is an ai line across
country. Now git out and git."
The class tried a number of problems of
this sort and liked the excitement so well
that it is trying now to tind bad country
to go over. The chances are that the officers"
class will be increased, and that
the course will be made compulsory for
