WASHINGTON, July 19.-Fifty-two
men, members of Company A, Twenty
second Kansas volunteers, who are sta
toned at Camp Alger, were taken vio-
lently Ill shortly after breakfast to-
day. There were symptoms pointing
to poisoning and the investigation
proved that they had partaken OF
hash, which had been cooked in a COP
per vessel, and which had remained
in it over night. Antidotes were ad-
ministered and twenty-seven of the
men recovered at once and were able
to resume their position in camp. The
others are doing nicely and none are
seriously poisoned.

Madrid Censor Cuts OF All News
From Spain.

LONDON, July 2O.-Owing to the
severity of the censorship at Madrid
the London morning newspapers today
are quite without dispatches from Mad
rid, save a few brief ones sent by way
of the frontier. The Madrid papsrs are
without dispatches from Paris. Even
tie Spanish provincial papers get moth
ing from the capital. The Madrid peo-
pie suspect that the negotiations at
Santiago conceal some sort of jugglerv.
and it is also said the government
wields only a nominal control over
Capt. Gen. Blanco, his attitude and
that of his army being the chief OBJ
stacles to peace.

MADRID, July 1s.-The papers an

expressed surprise that Gen. ToraI had

Capt Gen. Blanco has been asked to

received the question Of a court martial

El impartial warns the members of
the cabinet that for Spain to sue for
peace would be an avowal that now
she Is vanquished. Moreover they be-
lieve that the United States, exultant
over the success at Santiago, would
only be content with exorbitant terms

tinue the war in the hopes of recon-
quering some of the lost territory.

Russeil's rotten administration,

journed, Captain K. B. Davis, who

his honest efforts to give to the

making to secure for them just

There has been a valuable addi-
ton to the business houses of
Goldsboro in the firm of Messrs.

rented the desirable store at Odd
Fellows corner, formerly occu-
pied by Mr.. Sam j. Cohencius,

dealing l n this class of goods, but
it is known that competition is

public may expect to reap direct
benefits from the addition of this
establishment to the business inter-
ests of our progressive city.
The coming of these gentlemen
to Goldsboro and the investment
of capital is an indication of the
confidence held by outsiders in the
present staple business capacity of
the town and also in it's future
development.
The ARGUS welcomes these
clever young gentlemen to our

TO CAMP AT FALLS CHURCH.
Work of Mastering in the District
Guard Begun Yesterday

The District of Columbia volunteers
will go IN camp Monday, very likely
in the vicinity of Falls Church, Va
The work of mastering in the volun-
teers was begun yesterday afternoon at
the armory- Col. Heyl arrived about 2
o'clock. with DR.. Forwood, of the regu-
lar army who had been detailed by the
War Department to act as examining sur
geon. In response to a communication
from National Guard headquarters, DR.
r. A. Pyles, of the Second Regiment,
and DR.. Weaver of the First Regiment
came to the armory and gave their as
sistance
The first volunteers to be examined
were part of Company F, under Capt.
Otto Simonson and Lieut.. Smms. About
forty men received the physical examina-
ton, and were turned over to Col Heyl
10 be mustered into the United States
service. Col. Heyl has already COM
menced to exercise his arbitrary power
in the selection of men, however, and
turned down several fine-looking men
who had been passed and certified to by
the physicians.
II was announced at the National
Guard armory last night that the sur
geon will be at the armory at 10 o'clock
this morning 10 continue the eXamina-
tiOn. From that time and through Sat
urday night and Sunday the work of
mastering will go on without Interrupt
ton.
1t is intended that every company
shall be fully mustered into the service
before they are ordered into camp Mon
| day.
| Among the changes which it has been
| found necessary to make on the staff
| of Col. Harres are two designations or
| the staff of surgeons. Both DR.. Wood
man and DR. Sprigg have declined TO &c
! to the front with the volunteer regi-
/ ment, and this has necessitated offering
! the places TO other men. DR. r. A.
| Pyles and DR.. Weaver will probably be
! given an opportunity to go to the front
| but il is not certain that they will ac-
cept second choice. since they outrank
those chosen in the first place. and should
/ have been given the positions of regi-
mental surgeons when the first list was
| made up.
Many companies had meetings last
! night at the armory in anticipation o1
| the work of mastering in today, and it is
very likely that the armory will be
| crowded with applicants who expect Il
aid in filling up the companies which viii
| have men rejected.
