INVENTs A PERPETUAL LIGHT.
Indiana Man Perfects 1t After Seven
Years Labor.

A special to the Philadelphia Press from
Logansport, Ind, says: S. b. Nickum, who
has for seven years kept himself in a
tightly locked laboratory, has at last
satisfied public curiosity by announcing
that he has invented a perpetual light. The
light. he says, is sealed in a glass globe and
will last as long as the globe remains
whole. The globes can be made in any size
and may be carried around as lanterns.
Nickum has allowed no one but his at
torneys and few friends to see his inven-
ton. Those who have seen it say that all
that Nickum claims for it is true Nickum
predicts that stock in electric light plants
will become worthless when his light is
manufactured in sufficient quantities. He
promises public exhibition this week.

WAsHINGToN, June 3.

WASHINGTON, June 3.
In anticipation of the invasion of the San
tiago de Cuba province and Porto Rico, many
questions in regard to the commands have
arisen.
General Shaftner will doubtless command
the expedition to Santiago and General Fitz-
hugh Lee that to Porto Rico
When the general invasion of Cuba begins
it will involve the use, perhaps, of one hun
dred thousand troops. General Miles will
lead the army in person.
Tho Navy department stated this morning,
at ll:3O O'clock that no official news had
been received from the squadron at Santiago,
and they have heard rothing from that
quarter since Admiral Sampson arrived and
took command. 1t is expected that the
troops will arrive there about the middle of
next week
Commodore Schley's friends are indignant
because Admiral Sampson was sent to Sauti-
ago to take command, and say it reflects
upon the formers ability. They point out
that the acting Rear Admiral is junior to
Schley ON the register.
The harbor at Manila will be mined by Ad-
miral Dewey, to prevent an effective attack
by any fleet the enemy may send. Officials
here, however, do not believe that Spain will
send her reserve squadron to the Philippines.
Senator Hale to-day said that he wished to
put himself on record by stating that should
the war with Spain last one year it would
cost between seven and eight hundred million
dollars. The departments estimate is one
million less
1t is claimed, after careful poll, that the
amendment to the war revenue bill in the
Senate providing for the coinage of the silver
seigniorage in the treasury will be adopted

numerous complaints that Camp Alger at

There are a number of mild cases of pneu-
monia in the camp.
