Memorial Services Held in Many Regimen.
tai Tabernacles. i

ChiokamaugasNationa Park. May 49,
This was day of rest at Camp Thomas,
all drills of every kind having been dis
pensed with. Memorial services were held
in many of the regimental tabernacles
and large number of..men were given
leave to attend the services at the various
churches in the city.
Lieut.. Col. Hartsuff, chief surgeon on
Gen. Brooke's staff, asks the Associated
Press to announce that he cordially en-
dorses the plan adopted by the national
relief committee of receiving and disburs-
ing supplies to sick and needy soldiers
contributed by friends at home. He states
that he has received number OF commu-
nications from various states inquiring as
to how the supplies of the character men,
toned might be sent to the soldiers in
camp here He therefore asks the Asso-
ciated Press to announce that tn national
committee organized in Chattanooga will
take care of and distribute all contribu-
tions of this character promptly and Salts
factorily.
1t was learned at the chief surgeons
headquarters that the largest percentage
of sickness in camp is in the Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Illinois regiments, and
that the percentage of sickness among
these regiments is very small and incon-
seauential The health of the camp, con-
sidering the conditions, is remarkably
good, and it is believed that aside from
the usual slight complaints incident to
the season, the worst of it is now over
with the men who have made such IA
radical change in temperature, water
and diet.
There were three deaths today as fol
lows: Pierce Collyer, ged Is, Co. H,
18th Minnesota of Beaver Falls, from
pneumonia, contracted in camp before

HARD TO REoRGANIzE CABINET

Rome, May est is believed that Mar
quis di Rudini, the Premier, will find it
very difficult task to reconstruct the
ministry. The Pope's letter to Mgr.
Ferrari archbishop OF Milan, has precipi-
tated events. Signor Zanardelli. minister
of justice, wanted to punish the arch
bishop for not aiding in the suppression
OF the riots at Milan and also to pass a
bill! revoking the Bishops license.
: Marquis Vizconti- Venesta, the foreign
minister, refused to consent to these anti
clerical measures and resigned, whereupon
the whole cabinet followed.

the friendly feeling for America here and
because the coaling began before the Brit

she could take at 700 tons, it is believed
by the townspeople- that she filled her
bankers. But such is not the case. She
has enough now, with what she had, to
last six days at half speed. She will sail
tom orrow morning for a destination not
disclosed. The strange vessel, seemingly
a war ship, sighted off Port Royal last
night, is declared by the gossips to be a
Spanish cruiser waiting for the Har-

several days, guarding the entrance to
the bay OF Santiago de Cuba.
That he has Admiral Csrvara and his
Cape de Verde squadron bottled up in the
bay is regarded by naval officials as be-
yond any doubt, although Commodore
Schley did not make definite statement
to that effect. Commodore Schley has not
only his own squadron but two or three
vessels besides at his command, and it Is
not believed TO be possible for the Spanish
admiral to escape with his fleet either by
day or night. No Information is obtain

Schley. Whether he will endeayor 10

safely in the harbor where they are as
absolutely useless as they would be at the
bottom of the sea.
Ell PROGRESSES SCOOP"
London. May 29.-The circumstances in
which Ell Progresses remarkable story
appears seem to discredit it. Apparently
the Paris correspondent of that paper
is the sole possessor of the information
he pretends to have. The most reliable
Paris news agencies have received moth
ing on the subject. 1t is possible the story
was given a Paris date in Madrid for
some undiscernible reason though if il
emanaJes from official sources it is incon-
ceivable that the government should be
unwilling TO give out favorable news on
its own responsibility.
LONDON LAUGHS AT YARN.
London, May 3O.-The morning papers

in admitting that there is not a particle
of reliable evidence as to the whereabouts
of the Spanish fleet Or even as to whether
it really exists at all. The Times says:
"With reference to Spanish threats to
cut the cables connecting the United
States and Europe, it should be pointed
out that these lines land on French or
British territory before reaching the
American seaboard and that to cut them
bstween two neutral ports might be re-
garded as an act of war and be resisted by

Using New Files.

An expert inflles has given some d.
reotions as to- the best ways to use these
necessary Implements. He says that a
new file Of very high temper should
first be used on brass or cast iron. After
the first sharpness is gone from 1t it
answers quite as we'll for wrought iron
and steel. Sometimes new files will tear
the surface Of wrought iron and steel to
such an extent as to become very an
noyingan cause additional work. Very
few mechanics thoroughly understand
the use Of files and the methods by
which they are utilized to the greatest
advantage. Files bite rolled metal much
more quickly and easily than cast, there
fore it requires a sharper file for brass
and cast iron than for the wrought ar
ticles or for steel. If files are gradually
adapted to their best uses, they will
give much longer service than when
they are indiscriminately employed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE first note

''That under the constitution of the

The colonial system of European

State Veterinarian.

The annual report of Chief State Vet
erinarian Langdon recommends some
system of payment of district veterinar-
ians which shall bring about more
careful conservation of the animal health
of the state through more frequent and
rigid examinations. District veterinar-
ians, he thinks, should be paid at the
rate of S per day for the time employed
with their work, together with their
actual expenses. The present salaried
method Of payment is deemed inadvis-
able. DR.. Langdon says the present
method of inspection of cattle, horses and
sheep is exceedingly unsatisfactory, and
that not over 50 per cent of the animals
coming into the state are examined and
that those that are examined are FREE
quently driven long distances into the
state before the examination is made.
The tendency of this is to expose ami
mails, within the state to infection and to
create and continue conditions Of disease
that ought not to prevail. Itis; recon-
mended that an inspector. shcaid be sta
toned at regular quarantine stations on
the state line, with instructions to pass
upon certificate of health held by ship
pers and upon condition of the animals
sought to be shipped in.
The report details the diseases that
have been encountered in domestic ami
mails. Over 5000 doses Of vaccine virus
for black leg were distributed and excel
lent results obtained from its use.
Losses of horses from infectious pneu-
monia are reported from the Red River
Valley and one outbreak of scab in sheep
is reported from White Earth, Ward
