Chicago. May 7.-As a fitting rebuke to the criticisms made by Department Commander Thayer of the Grand Army of the Republic of Massachusetts the First infantry is preparing to make the dedication of the Confederate soldiers monument at Oakwood cemetery one of the most notable events in the history of the regiment. Instead of a firing party of 100 men participating in the ceremonies on decoration day, there will be at least 800 acting in that capacity. Every off, cer in the First is enthusiastically in favor of patriotic demonstration in connection with the unveiling of the mon- ument, and their enthusiasm is shared equally by enlisted men.
 Colonel Turner is planning to make a day of it," as he puts it, and he predicts that the celebra tion will be the greatest one ever witnessed in Chicago since Col onel Koch inaugurated the idea of doing honor to the Confederate dead in 1878. Among those who have already signified their intention to be present are Lieu tenant-General Schofeld and General Flagler of the regular army Gen. O. O. Howard, Gen.. Daniel Sickles, Gen. John M. Palmer, Gen. A. B. Middleton and several of the most distinguished Confed- crate generals. The reception will be marked by a banquet in the armory, a regimental parade and dancing.

The next morning the quar- antine officer Dr. E. c. Echmendia, dis patched the quarantine steamer Germ, commanded by Captain Russell to over haul the vessel and bring her back to the station.
 Captain Duena, in command of the cruiser, made a loud protest although he confessed he saw the signals and knew it was a quarantine station. But Captain Russell insisted and the vessel returned to the station where she was fumigated and detained.
 On receiving notice Collector of Gus toms Leasly wired Secretary Carlisle for instructions. The secretary wired for data, which was furnished immediately. Secretary Carlisle then ordered Collector Leasly to waive the quarantine regula- tions so far as the United States was con cerned and to allow the vessel go on in peace. This was communicated to the Madrid government by Spanish Vice Consul Gutierrez at this port. The state quarantine regulations had been ivio- lated and the state board of health will strictly carry out the provisions of sec, ton 779 of the revised statutes. That section imposes fine of not less than $100 nor more than 5000. State Health Officer Dr. J. Y. Porter will go down to Mullett Key tomorrow to personally in speet the vessel and will then submit his report, when action will be taken.
