 The City of Pekin will doubtless be the first vessel ordered to the Philip pines, and she is not in condition to receive troops, but large force of men are at work on her, and she can be prepared for the reception of men at twentyfour hours notice. Orders have been receivd to get the First regiment ready for departure, but this cannot be done until the necessary

CIGARETTES THE CAUSE.
Reason for the Large Percentage of
 Rejections.

Washington, May 15.-The large number of rejections of volunteers has caused much comment in the army medical corps. However, the physi- clans who have conducted the exami- nations say that outside of the ranks of cigarette smokers there are even fewer rejections than there were in the days of the civil war. Among ha- bitual users of the cigarette the re- jections are about 90 per cent
 Dr. Benjamin King of Philadelphia, who acted as an examining surgeon during 1S61-63 in New York, Pennsyl- vania, Ohio and Indiana. says that the average rejections during, these years did not exceed 13 per cent. He attributes the large increase almost entirely to the cigarette habit T have been inspecting the papers in number of cases under the pres ent recruiting act," said Dr. King, land observe that most of the men who failed to pass the medical exam ination have weak hearts or lack the vitality necessary to make a good soldier.
 Il had expected that the percentage of rejections would be greater now than in 1861, but I did not dream that it would be almost three times as great. The examining physicians with whom l have talked have generally

It now seems to Ao clearly demonstrated tLat politics aru mixed up in the disturbances wkseA have occurred in various parts of thp Kingdom, owing to the high prize q bread, and the clerical par9y h lieved to be fomenting the disora@.

mail from other countries is cut of. For instance, our postoffice return all letters addressed to Spain or Cuba
 with a stamp thereon to the writers, informing them of suspended mail ar engagements. A letter, however, can be got to Spain or any of it's pos sessions except Cuba, which is block aded against all corners, by little diplomacy and tact. If letter is sent to Canada or London, or, indeed, any British possession, and mailed there, it will be sent to any Spanish pos session, for there is no interruption with the mail arrangements except di- rectly between this country and Spain
 By the same arrangement any letter can be sent to this country from any Spanish possession if the precaution is taken to have it sent to London and remailed there, under British stamp. With Cuba, however, mail communi- cation is cut off as clean as a whistle, and the world has been officially in formed by the regular formal procla- nation that there is blockade in ex- istence there, and that no vessel will
 be allowed to land there, notwith- standing the terms of the Interna- tional Postal union, proviso to which arranges for just such a condition of things, war, as now exists. The Gu ban is not ready letter writer, and he can stand any deprivations as re- gards his mail, Indeed, he is just about as happy whether he gets it or not There has been but very little mail communication between Cuba and Spain until during the past couple of years, during which there has been very large Spanish force of soldiery there, This has perceptibly increased the mail"
