PUBLIC MARKET.
Special Council Committee Gave a
Hearing on the Subject.
Mr.. Addison .. Fisher Advocated the
Build ng OF One by III: City.

The special committee of the city
council appointed 10 consider the ad-
visibility OF establishing public mar
ket and public comfort buildings in this
city, gave a public hearing at o'clock
yesterday afternoon, but there were
only two persons present, with the ex-
ception of the members of the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Addison @. Fisher spoke I'm favor
of public market for providence,
claiming that a public market opens
competition. The poor man can VISIT
that market and, If he does not find one
place that suits him either for quality
or price he can look further and sup
ply his wants at a price reasonable un-
der competition. No man, he thought,
having a market in the city and doing
any business would refuse to take a
stall i'm a public market, properly To-
Gated. There is plenty of land, CEN
trally located, that might be used for a
public market, and the rental OF stalls
would add to the revenue OF the city
Mr.. Fisher said that he thought the
space between Market square ano
Crawford street bridge would be gooc
place for a public market.
There being no other persons To ad'
| dress the committee. a recess was taker
| and another public hearing VIII bt
given later.

bers of the Seventh Ohio, First Rhode

Ho ell and Daemer's road house, near
the bridge, and wrecked both places.
They tore down the pictures and mir

all the furniture in Deemer's because
they were refused drinks. They also cap.
tured big wagon loaded with bottled
beer, took the man in charge to q hill
top, aud drank or broke every bottle of
beer in the wagon. As soon as the

riot quelled. Then a Gordon was
drawn around Cabin John and Glen

WAR NOTES.

Advices received at Port Antonio
Jamaica, late yesterday afternoon, an
nounce the arrival of General Skaters
army off Santiago de Cuba. Up to the
time the advices were sent no attempt
had been made to land the troops.
Gen. Shafter soon after his arrival had
conference with Admiral Sampson.
They discussed at length the informa-
ton obtained by the admiral's scouts
as to the NEST available landing places
in the vicinity of Santiago, and sent
further scouting parties along the
coast.
General Garcia and his personal staff
were picked up at Gen. Rabi's camp, Is
miles west of Santiago, and taken to
the flagship yesterday afternoon by the
gunboat Vixen. There they had con.
sultation with Admiral Sampson re-
garding the operations for the invest
ment OF Santiago and the cooperation
of the American and Cuban troops.
Eight of the best equipped regiments
at Camp Alger, near this city, will this
weak be placed on the auxiliary cruis-
ers Yale and Harvard, now at Newport
News, and sent to Santiago to re in
force Gen. Shafter. The two cruisers
will also carry large quantities ofammu-
milton and fresh meat rations. A dis
patch from Washington states that
General Schwan, commanding at Mo
bile, yesterday received orders to pro
coed with all his troops to Miami, Fla,
and that General Brooke was directed
TO send fifteen of the best equipped
regiments at Chickamauga to Fernan-
dina, Fla, both forces to be embarked
It Miami and Fernandina for Porto
Rico.
The Navy Department bss received
information that Admiral Camara'5
has left Carthagena to return
to Cadiz, and it is believed in Wash
ington that its ultimacs destination is
the Canary Islands. It is not thought
likely chat it will cross the Atlantic.
An additional army corps, to be
known as the eighth, is to be created.
1t will he composed of the troops as.
signed to the Philippine Islands, and
viii be in command of Major-General
Wesley Merritt. The creation of the
new corps is by direction OF the Presi-
dent. and authority is conferred upon
Gen. Merritt to transfer the command
of the corps to the next officer in
rank at such time as he may deem it
expedent to do so as matter of mill
tarv administration in order that he
NAV be left free to devote his attention
to important matters of government
connected with the Philippine Islands.
AS military governor OF the Philippines
Gen, Merritt will have SO many duties
of an administrative character to per-
form That it would be imprac.:.""able tor
him to retain the active command of
Tho trnnns OH the islands.
