-MILITARY- OUTRAGE |-
American Officers' Defrauded 1.
RUSSO-COREAN - DRILL.
A few days ago, hearing rumours of a military difficulty connected with Colonel Cummins and Major Lee, two of the military instructors sent out from America, I investigated affairs and did men who were recently summarily informed that myself the honour of calling on these two gentle their services bad been arbitrarily (and as I now understand unjustly] dispensed with by their superior officer so-called General, but in reality a Colonel of militia--Dye, under instruc tions from the Corean Government. This was the result of the contemptible intrigues of certain foreigners in Soul and the incapacity of their chicl, who is a most unmilitary looking old warrior.
had I known as much as I know about Colonel
Dye's career as it stands written in the folio matricules of the Court-martial records In Egypt, where he served for a time, as well as what is réconded in the records of the Commis sioners and Police Department of the District of Columbis, where he once served as whilom chist, I should respectfully have begged off from accompanying him to the Land of morning calm"
Mr. Mienstead, or Captain Nienstend as some people call him, is he not the same man of that name who was once a writer in the U. S. Navy and latterly served as constable in the American Consulate at Kobe "
Yes, that is the same man."
*What is ble military record in the States ?" "His name is not on the Service lists of any of the States.":
"Then how comes he to be a kind of aide-de camp to Dye, and a military instructor and a Captain 1"
“We would rather not enter into further particulars about him at present; you have been assured by us that he is not an American officer.""
Here the interview ended, with the "usual courtesies. Subsequently learning_from other sources that Foreign Advisor Denny and Messrs. Dys and Waeber, together with certain euspicious missionary characters, were close friends, I could not but see that Colonel Cummins and Major Les are the victims of certain Russo-Missionary and other intrigues on the part of the Coreans. And this informa tion, in corroboration of other facts gathered, made me wonder if the new tactics invented by Colonel Dye, was not Russian drill, written out and given to Dye and the Coreans as they were being gradually translated at the Russian Lega- tion unbeknown to Messrs. Cummins and Leo ! Surely this affair will bear careful investigation by interested Fowers. I rather fancy, that this who are thorough soldiers and gentlemen, object- solid has occurred owing to Cummins and Lec, ing to being made the tools of dangerous con- spimators. They may also have been disgusted to find themselves placed in company of Nienstead, a person who is neither 2-soldier nor
