Leslie c. Sebree, the young man who was
sent to Jail few days ago and fined 500
for abandoning his wife's baby at the Nor

by order of the court. The fine was paid by
the mans friends. and his wife has been
using her best efforts to bnng about his
freedom. Sebree still insists that he had no
intention of abandoning the infant, but
that as 1t was not his child. his wife had
agreed to send 1t to an asylum. When he
turned 1t over to the colored woman at the
wharf he Intended to come back for Ii at
the earliest possible moment, but his wife's

more than a month and oftener but a week
or two. Meanwhile, the men will he crit

They will be supplied with such absolutely

The recruiting rendezvous will be under
the disciplinary and administrative control
OF the department and post commanders
The recruits will come and go only I'm obedi-
ence to orders issued by the adjutant gem
eral of the army.
Each of the four posts named is now SUD-
piled with a general mess of ample capacity
for feeding a much larger garrison than

no necessity for any arrangements for sep
arate messing of the recruits At David
Island especially, and, to a lesser degree
be necessary to erect a building for the ac-
commodation of unmarried officers When
this is done, and, with slight modification of
barracks. Jefferson barracks can receive a
bus barracks the same number of com
panies of infantry, and Dayid's Island sly

This plan contsmplates the assignment

a basis Of 2.7-8 per cent interest on

bonds at the lowest rate OF interest
will have been broken. The mat
ter will be settled this week. In
any event, no matter which OF the
bidders get the bonds, the interest
will not exceed 3 per cel-t. It's
hoped that the gold reserve fund
will be strengthened to almost the
total amount that will be received
from the sale of the bonds, but it
will be several weeks before that
can be definitely known. Wheth-
