General Miles said the transportation fa-

about 5000 Cuban troops. This" he stated

keep his men out of the Spanish buildings
of every character and to keep the men
away from the natives. Had he not done
as he did the army would have been much
better supplied"
His army in Porto Rico, he said, had been
supplied in way with quartermaster and
commissary stores, but not in the best way.
At Porto Rico he had asked that fixed
rations be sent, but instead they were sent
down in bulk without invoices or bills of
lading, and in many instances stores were
spoiled in the hold and thrown away. This
caused great embarrassment and loss OF
stores and deprived the troops of food. He
asserted that the scarcity of food largely
caused the distress of the troops.
He had advised against the shipping OF
beef to Porto Rico, both because there was
. an abundance of it on the island as well
as because of his belief that it was defec-
tive
He characterized the refrigerator beef, of
which there was 327 tons sent as "em-
balmed beef" and said the canned fresh
beef, of which 100000 pounds had been
shipped there, was condemned by officers
whose commands used it.
"Who fixed that beef as an army ration?'

HOBSON AT ANNAPOLIS.
The Brave Lieutenant May Return ia
the Naval Academy.


Annapolis, Aug. 2O.--Lieutenant Rich
mond Z. Hobsun came quietly into
Annapolis yesterday from Washington,
and was driven Immediately to the
naval academy. Few knew him, but
they were enough to have it known he
was here, and that drew "A number of
people to see him take a train for
Washington.
AS the lieutenant drove along the
drive fronting Blake row he saw Ad-
miral McNair, superintendent Of the
naval academy, and alighted from his
carriage, and the two had a prolonged
conversation. Lieutenant Hobson then
went to his quarters in the bachelors
quarters" and returned and had a sec
ond interview with Admiral McNair. 1t
is thought that the visit was in rela-
ton to Lieutenant HobsOn returning in
October to assume the duties of head
of the department of naval construc-
tion, which was inaugurated last Octo-
Der, under a curriculum advised by
Lieutenant Hobson, and of which de-
partment he was put in charge.
He was accOsted at the depot as he
got on his train by a lady who asked
him to pose for a snap shot from the
kodak The lieutenant hesltated for
some time, and then as the train moved
out his gallantry and courtesy prevail
ed. and he put his head out of the
window and was once more photo
graphed.

DO 1T YOURSELF

You can tell just as well as a physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or healthy.
The way TO do is to take a bottle or glass tum-
bier, and fill IL with urine. If there is a
sediment powdcr-like substauce-at the
bottom after standing day and night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys An
other sure sign of disease is a desire to urinate
often, and still another sign is pam in the
back If urine stains linen, there is no doubt
that the kidneys are affected.
Any and all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and Of the urinary passages and con
stipation of the bowels are cured by DR..
David kenuedy's Favorte Remedy. There
is no question about its being the best and
surest medicine in the world for such troubles.
It quickly relieves and cures inability to hold
urine, aud people, young or old, who take it
are not compelled to get up q number Of
times during the night. For putting an end
to that sCaldng pain experienced in passing
urine, nothing is SO good as Dr. David Ken
ued's Favoritc Remedy. 1t corrccts the bad
effects of whskey and beer; is pleasant to
the taste, and does not seem to he mcdicise
at all. Diseases of the kidneys and bladder
often require the use OF instruments to push
back the sandy matter So the urine can be
voidcd. In such eases Favorte Remedy
should be taken without further delay or the
disease may prove fatal 1t is sold for one
dollar bottle at all drug stores. it is well
worth many times its price.

EDITOR COLE, Of the Miners
Journal, deserves more than the post
Office he is after. He should have a
foreign mission at least, as he has de
veloped remarkable diplomatic
ability in the handling of Congress
man Brumm's candidacy for. re-elec-
ton. 1t is not remarkable that the
Ion n,ti'is SO strongly favorable to
the Congressman when its proprie-
tor and editor are both seeking
Office. For this reason it is willing to
see lightweight hung on the Re
publican ticket this fall, and then
prates about his being the most
available candidate. The literary
and political heavy weights of our
esteemed contemporary have both
very duh axes to grind, and so long
as Mr.. Brumm turns the grindstone
the journal will continue to elabor-
ate upon the Congressman's "availa-
bility,n much to the disgust of the
Intelligent portion of its limited
circle Of readers.

Acnnitted the PrteOmcrs.

Acquitted the Prisoners.
Berlin, Aug. 20.-Herr Eugene Wolf,
the well known German explorer who
has Just returned from China, where
he acted as correspondent of The
TaEeblatt, Is being prosecuted upon
charge of having, without authority.
assumed the role of Judge and with
having liberated 13 Chinese murderers
of German missionaries.
According to the evidence of Bishop
Amer, on which the prosecution Is
based, Herr Wolff, having heard of the
trial appeared in court with a dog
named Schuster. Four vacant chairs
stood in the hall in which the trial was
to be held Wolff seated himself in the
most imposing of these, saying, "Ill
take the highest. and you, Herr Schus-
ter addressing the dog). will take the
second highest at my right" lie then
ordered the clerk of the court into the
next chair on his right and lastly, with
a gesture, bade the wondering man
DARN to take the urtE and lowest
chair.
The mandarin question Wolff's
authority, Whereupon til latter drew
q roll of pal ers from his pocket and
hourshed it as his authority, and the
prisoners being introduced and declar-
ing their innocence, Herr Wolff sol
EMMY acquitted them and declared the
proceedings ended. He then saddled
his horse and departed.
The story caused the utmost aston
ishment. Bishop Amer was in Ger
many at the time of the alleged oc-
currence consulting the government in
regard to the murders. which uti-
mately lead to the occupation of Kiaou-
Chou, and only learned of what had
happened on returning to China.
1t appears that Herr Wolff often
posed in China as a German envoy.

CUTTING EXPENSES.
Retrcnchment in the Army Is Following
Close Upon the Cessation of
Hostilities.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Retrenchment
in nearly all branches of the army is
following close upon the cessation of
nostilities, Notably is this the case IN
the ordnance, quartermaster's and en-
gneer bureaus, where the need for the
supplies required and the men em-
ployed for the cXiEencies of war no
longer exist. In the ordnance bureau
the force at the various arsenals is to
be reduced in all cases where this can
be accomplished without detriment to
the service, The Rock Island arsenal
probably will be affected more than
any other There before the war about
$40 men were employed When the
peace protocol was signed there were
approximately 1000 men engaged, and
orders have been issued which will re-
ducc this number by two-thirds. Be
fore and during the war large numbers
of contracts were made with ordnance
firms for supplying material. In many
cases these were made conditional, so
that they could be terminated within
a few days after the cessation of hos
tiiUes, and the department has in
every case availed itself of this priv
ledge.
ernment had outstanding contracts
for furnishing a large number of big
seacoast projectiles, but as these were
regarded unnecessary when hostilties
came to an end amcable arrangements
were made with the companies by
which their contracts were cancelled.
At the present time contracts are in
existence also for furnishing seacoast
proiectiles, but as the government Is
desirous Of obtaining all contracted for
there will be no necessity to resort to
such action as was taken at the close
Of the civil war.
The quartermaster's department is
dispensing as rapidly as possible with
such of the transports as were char
tered for which there is now no neces-
sity. In the engineers department the
services of electricians, mechanics and
laborers engaged i'm the work of harbor
and river mine defenses and boatmen
employed to patrol the adjacent waters
to warn approaching craft of their
danger also are being discharged as
rapidly as is consistent with the good
of the service.
