FINEST IN THE WORLD.
Geo. Miles Says the American Soldier Ha
No Superior,


Washington, June 1S.-Major Gen.
Miles arrived in Washington yesterday
after having directed the departure
of the first army of invasion to Cuba
He conferred with Secretary Alger be-
fore the cabinet meeting and then
had long talk with Gen. Luddington,
quartermaster general, on the condi-
ton of quartermaster's supplies. he
came in response to summons from
the secretary of wary who desires to
go over certain phases of the campaign
with him.
Gen. Miles said: Waving spent
some time with the troops during
trying period of hurried preparations,
| am glad to say that they are
splendid body of men, which the coun-
try may we'll be proud of. AS to the
regulars. they are the finest corps in
the world. Of course the volunteer
army is not so well equipped. Some OF
the states sent men into the field IN
very good condition, notably Massa-
chusetts and New York. Others sent
their quotas without arms, equipment,
or clothing"
| Gen Miles dJIeIllOl was VII SN'NN w
the reports coming from Tampa OF
great confusion and delay in prepar-
ing the expedition and getting it of
for Cuba. "Yes," he said, there were
causes contributing to this delay. In
the first place the post office service
at these points of army concentration
is very deficient.
"That has been one of the troubles
at Tampa and other places, and as
result the official communications to
and from the war department, on
which depend the regularity of NOV
ing many kinds of stores, have beer
seriously delayed. Then in gathering
the munitions of war for an army il
was necessary to have the service OF
great number of trains loaded will
stores, crowding the railroad lines fa1
beyond their usual capacity. However
all this is getting Strengthened on
now and already most of it has beel
overcome. The troops at Tampa arr
in very good health.

the Navy Department.

the Navy Department.
Washington, June 21.-There was
wholesale christening at the navy de-
partment Monday when Secretary
Long supplied names for 35 war craft
All of these were provided for IN the
last naval appropriation bill, and
while contracts for their construction
have not vet been let, the advertise
ments have been issued except in the
case of the monitors and all the boats
will be under way before cold wealth
er. First in the list of the big battle
ships is the Maine, for congress mas
provided that that name shall be con-
| tinued in the naval list. The other
two big battleships will be called the
Missouri and the Ohio. The first OF
the torpedo boats bears the name OF
the brave young Ensign Bagley, who
was killed on the deck of the WinsloW
under the guns of Cardenas, the tlrs'
American naval officer to lose his llfe
in the war.
Four states have the privilege OF
giving their names to monitors-Ar
kansas, Connecticut, Florida and wy
oming. The names given to the II
torpedo boat destroyers are those o
Americas famous naval heroes-Bain
bridge, Barry, Cnauncey, Dale, Deca
tur, Hopkins, Hull, Lawrence, Mac
Donough, Paul Jones, Perry, Preble
Stewart, Truxton, Whipple and Wor
den. The names applied to the tor
pedo boats are those of lesser fame
{ but still of glorious memory. Beside
Bagley they are: Barney, Biddl'
{ Blakely, De Long, Nicholson, OBrier
, Shubrick, Stockton, Thornton, TingeI
1 Wilkes. There is now only one vel
{ sci, either building or authorized, lei
/ without a name, gunboat otficiall
known as No. 16.

Some Standard Oil History.

Columbus, June 1s.-Attorney Cen
eral Monnett has secured from the
Standard Oil Co. list of the concerns
that went into the great oil combine
and the amount of capital stock that
each carried. The alleged trust has
been in operation since 1892. One OF
the inquiries was with regard to
the number of stockholders and the
shares they hold. 1t is said the shares
are worth over $500 piece and there
are in all 1875 shares. This does not
include, however, the fractional shares
of stock that are held in great num-
bers in different parts of the east.

Republican State Convention Meets To-
day in Columbus - GrOsvenOr VIII be
Chairman.
Columbus. June 21.--Most of the del
egates to the republican state conven-
ton are here, but there is no such
contest as at the last republican state
convention. when NJ. A. Hanna was in
dorsed for senator and Charles L'
Kurtz was defeated for state chair
man. Kinney for secretary OF state'
Spear for supreme judge and Allen Tor
clerk of the supreme court have no
opposition for denomination. The only
other nomination is for member OF the
board of public works, for which place
there are several contests. The main
contest is for the control OF the stats
committee and what are known as the
Hanna, or national administration
men. are said to have the members OF
| the state committee from Is OF the
81 districts, as against what arc
| termed the Kurtz, or state admlhs'

When Hanna was elected senator
last January, the opposing candidate
was Mayor McKisson, of Cleveland, the
home of the senator. There are two
delegations here now from Cleveland
but it seems certain that the Hanna
delegation will be seated over the Nc
Kisson delegation and thus insure the
selection of Hanna man on the stat'
committee from Cleveland and als'
the control of the local committee o
Cuyahoga county. There are contested
delegations from Allen, Tuscarawa'
and Hardin counties that will atfec

Sanitary Kneading Boards.

Wooden kneading boards are de-
cIared usanitary. In their place in
the modern kitchen are found heavy
marble or glass trays, which are more
easily kept clean. The molding board
is now declared to be one Of the places
where close inspection is needed by
housewives who appreciate the ubiqui-
tousness Of germs and microbes. In
deed, some housewives who have made
domestic science their hobby will not
allow dough to be kneaded at all by
hand, but insist that the same process,
or very nearly, can be accomplished by
a large spoon. Just watch your dOmes-
tic serape the dough of her hands after
she has been kneading it, and you will
never want any more bread kneaded
by her hand, says one of these up-to-
date hOusekeepers. Doubtless even
with the marble tray the beating with
the spoon would be more satisfactory
and the bread equally light.
