JAIL EXAMINERs.-For the past nine
years the Judge OF the Corporation
Court by authority of section 929 of the
code OF 1881 has appointed three per.
sons to inspect and report on the con-
dition of the city jail. Quarterly visits
have been made by the examiners and
ayearly allowance of $4,000 made to
each. By an act of the last General As
sombly, approved July 80, section 924
was amended and now reads !;
"The board ofsupervisors and jail ply
sicans, if any, Of each county in this
State, once every three months shall in
spect the Jail Of said county" sin ev-
cry city having g corporation court,
with Jail seperate from the county
Jail, the judge of the corporation court
shall once every three months appoint
a committee Of three discreet freehold
ers, one Of whom shall be physician,
to inspect said JAIL" sc. The law as
amended does not say who shall appoint
the examiners when the use of the ia !
is Y city and county. An officer of the
city called Corporation Attorney
Boothe's attention to the change in the
act and that gentleman ask Judge Nor
ton to examine it with the result that
in the opinion of Judge Norton no au.
thority is vested in him now to ap-
point examiners. 1t has cost the city
$50 each year and no doubt that amount
can be we'll expended on the Jail.

July IL $3.50 a. m.).--The shores of this
little cove were the busiest place In
Cuba this afternoon. Five thousand
men were either disembarking from
steamers or preparing to take up the
march TO Gen. Skaters headquarters,
near Santiago. There was as much
confusion as II ten circuses' were pre-
pairing to make camp. The officers
were looking for horses and mules,
bringing their men together, sending
sick men to the hospital and attending
to rations and baggage. The engineers
were building a rough wharf of heavy
timbers to be used in landing artillery
from the lighters.
The First Illinois Infantry, number
ing 1850 men, which arrived here yes
terday and began disembarking last
night, will probably be the first OF Gen.
Skaters reinforcements to reach him,
About $50 recruits for the regular
regiments i'm the field were also well
under way to the front.
The District of Columbia Infantry,
consisting of 915 mGn, arrived here this
morning on the Catania and began
landing at once.
The auxiliary cruiser ST. Paul has
also arrived here witt .he Eighth Ohio
Infantry, 1850 men.
The steamer is at anchor quite a dis
tance from the shore, which necessi-
tates a long pull In the boats in order
to get the men ashore. The landing OF
troops here is necessarily made in
