WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Postmas-
ter General Smith has put in operation
several changes in the postal regula-
tions. 1t has been stated that the post
al card was to be discontinued, but the
regulation regarding the new mailing
cards recently authorized by Congress
shows this to be a mistake. Hereafter,
while the postal card will continue to be
sold, it will be lawful to use cards with
1-cent stamp affixed for the same
purpose. These cards must be approx
imately of the same size, shape and
color as the postal card When this
mailing card is sent to foreign coun-
tries the ordinary letter postage must
be affixed. Another change in the
regulations prohibits the return or for
warding of second, third and fourth
class matter unless additional postage
has been affixed. When it ia obvious.
however, that valuables are contained
in such packages the sender shall be
notified if possible On second-class
matter l cent for four ounces must be
paid before it will be returned or for

tion stamps has been begun at the

that the fishery interests of the great

trade will be combined in a gigantic
corporation sustained by English capt.
talists.
The association will embrace nearly
all OF the fisheries of the United States.
The A. Booth Packing Company of this

ual house of the kind in the country,
and number of local fish companies
will be merged into the new corpora

formal transfer of individual proper
ties to the hands of the principals
The names of the men who are backing
the monopoly in London are not re-
Vealed, but upon the authority of Mr.
Booth it is stated that they are men
of high standing in the financial world.
In all there are twenty-four concerns
in the country which will be in the cor
poration. Mr. Booth declines 70 give
out the amount of the capital stock, but
to judge from the size of the A. Booth
Packing Company, which is one of the
twenty-four concerns, the stock will be
in the millions. The Booth Company
alone employs 5000 men. The other
companies are engaged around the

GUANTANAMO BOMBARDED.
Great Destruction Wrought in the
Town by the Shells.

MOLE ST. NICHOLAS, June 1S-
6:3O p. m. Copyright, 1898, by the AS
sociated Press).-News from Guantan-
amo Bay, up to this morning, shows
that naval operations there continue
most active, and with the advantage
on the side of the Americans Yes
terday morning at $50 o'clock the
Americans resumed the bombardment
Of Guantanamo town, and in the course
of one and one-half hours threw into
it seventy-five shells, great majority
OF which appeared to have been ef-
fective. Six Of these shells were 13-
inch, eight S-inch and the rest smaller.
The men in the tops could see many
of the shells strike in the very midst
of the town, while others fell among
the shipping and commercial buildings
near the waters edge.
Smoke arose in dense columns from
the places where the shells fell, and
it is believed that the damage, both
by the impact of the missiles and con-
sequent confiagration, was very great.
On Thursday evening the ships had
thrown four 13-inch and nine S-inch
shells into the town. This lombard
ment began at 4 o'clock and ended at 5
O'Clock. Much smoke and confusion
was discerned in Guantanamo during
its progress. Crowds of people and
troops of soldiers were seen moving
about, and the vessels in port hurried
ly changed their anchorage
On Wednesday night the Texas pene-
trated into the bay of Santiago, passed
MORO Castle and poured a we'll direct

A NOVEL CASE.
Title to Land Exposed by Receding
Waters Of q Lake Involved.

WASHINGTON, June 49, A case
presenting novel and interesting feat
ures has been argued before Commis-
sioner Hermann Of the General Land
Office. 1t involves the ownership Of
lands surrounding Lake Malheur, in
Oregon, and hinges upon the question
of whether the owners of the land down
to the waters edge in 1877 can now
hold lands left dry by the receding
waters of the lake.
The French Glenn Livestock Com
pany is the appellant, and claims. un-
der the surveys of 1877 and the laws of
Oregon, possessionof landto the waters
edge of the lake. Since that wear there
has been q subsistence of the water.
and this company now claims the va
cant land as a riparian right. A large
number of settlers have filed entries for
this land in the local offices of the de-
partment, and now the question is as
to the title of the land exposed by evan

They We're so worked up over the
war and SO immensely enthusiastic in
their American sentiment that the four

The Bennington will go to Mare ISL

While the United States troops were
in this city over 1000 letters were writ
ten by them. The postage amounting

ernment. Most of the writing was done
in the legislative halls. The station
cry was furnished free of charge.
The cable bill has passed the third
reading of the House and now requires
only the action of the President to make
it a Law. 1t grants an exclusive fran
chise between the Hawaiian Islands
and Japan with the right to touch at
other islands in the North Pacific north
Of the tenth degree of north latitude.
The franchise is conditioned upon the
companys securing within eighteen
months a franchise for a cable between
the United States and these islands
from the American Congress and the
approval of the Secretary of State with
in six months thereafter. There are
also conditions as to the time within
which work must be begun and the
cable completed and in working order,
as we'll as the maximum rates to be
charged for transmitting messages.
The bill names the Pacific Gable Com
pany of New York as the corporation
to which the franchise is to be given.
The only amendment in the House
was one requiring the Hawaiian end of
the cable to land on the Hawaiian ISL
ands and not necessarily at Honolulu,

They See the End Of Their Weary
Stay.
Hope to Start for Manila Ia About a
Week.
Nearly $4,000 Soldiers Still at
Camp Merritt-Fire in the Santa
Cruz Powder Works, but the
Employees Extinguished It
Davis Will Contest to be Conn
promised.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1S.-The vol
unteers who see the end Of their weary
stay in camp in sight are eXultant over
the prospect of a start for Manila next
week. Major Generals Merritt and
Otis after a lengthy consultation in
camp to-day confirmed the provisional
selection of the following commands
which were ordered TO be ready TO en-
bark on June 23d. although it is i'm
probable that their departure will be
an accomplished fact for several days
later than that date:
Thirteenth Minnesota and Seventh
California Regiments of Volunteers;
two battalions of the North DAKOTA
volunteers and Batteries G and l. of the
Third United States Artillery
1t is improbable that any volunteers
other than those mentioned will ac-
company Brigadier General Charles
King who will command the third eX-
pedition. Regiments will not be divid-
ed either in their disposition or in the
transports wherein they shall sail,
when it is possible to avoid so doing.
General Merritt is very desirous that
the troops named may be supplemented
by detachment from the engineer
corps
The question of the departure Of
General Merritt with the next expedi-
tion, to assume the Military Govern
orship Of the Philippines is contingent
upon the latest news from Manila.
One suit per man of brown canvas
clothing and the necessary light under
clothing for use in hot weather on the
voyage, will be issued to the troops on
every transport before they sail from
this port for the Philippines.
Batteries A and d Of the heavy ar
tillery volunteers will be recruited to
the war strength by Monday night.
Lieutenant Diss Will return from Los
Angeles tomorrow morning with fifty
six recruits for Battery D. sufficient to
make up the requisite 200. Thirty-six
very desirable men have already been
secured for Battery A and only forty
two are needed. When these batteries
are full recruiting will begin for Rat
terry c at Fort Candy and Battery at
Lime Point.
The population of Camp Merritt in
cludes eight full regiments and three
battalions of volunteer infantry; two
troops of volunteer cavalry; portions Of
three regular regiments of infantry,
forty engineers, a hospital corps num-
bering 100, a small signal corps, four
Brigadier Generals, one Major General,
and their aides AS the regular regi-
ments are constantly recruiting, as re-
cruits from the home States of the vol
unteer regiments are arriving every
day and as many members of the hos
pital corps are on special duty, the size
of the population of Camp Merritt
changes every day of the week. The
number of soldiers at Richmond is ap-
proXimately IA 900. To transport this
army to Manila many ships will be re-
quired. The two expeditions already
started carried together about 5000
men.
