GENERAL WAR SITUATION.
(Continued from page 1.)

The marines VINO nave been lying i'll
Key West harbor on board the Pan
ther, sweltering under a semi tropical
sun. are to be transferred to a more
comfortable vessel, the Resolute, which
will easily accommodate the 500 men
aboard.
limitations have been received here
that Capt. Blanco at Havana is very
short of ammunition, in which case the
powerful batteries at the entrance of
Havana harbor would be deprived of
a large part of their defensive strength.
This state of affairs may lead to some
desperate attempts at blockade run
ming on the part of the Spaniards, in
the hope of getting more ammunition
into Havana.
1t is believed that the supplies so
frequently referred to as being on the
Spanish flying squadron We're of this
character, rather than food supplies,
which makes it all the more important
that Sampson and Schley should sue
cced in keeping Admiral Cervera from
reaching Havana or Cienfuegcs or any
port in Cuba connected with Havana
by rail.
Commodore Schley probably is now
we'll down on the Florida coast and
should be able to guard the Florida
straits by tomorrow or next day. His
appearance on that side of Cuba would
enable Sampson to bring his ironclads
with perfect safety to Cicnfuegos en-
the south side and with this DISPOSE
ton Of our naval force and the free use
of a consdera bic number of our scout
ing vessels, it is hard &c see how the
Spanish fleet can escape from the gulf
Of Mexico or the Caribbean sea.
The navy department is getting
better and better quality of armor as
the contracts expire. \ 13-inch plate
tested at Indian Head. Saturday, with
a 10-inch gun showed itself to be equal
or superior to any piece Of armor
that has ever been made. for, With the
highest velocity at 1855 feet per second,
the shot penetrated only l. inches with
out cracking the plate. 1t was the
very last piece TO be delivered under
the existing contract and is intended
for the Kentucky.
The war department has rushed
ahead it's propositions for the mobliza-
ton and thorough equipment Of the
volunteer army and the progress which
is being made is most gratifying.
The important development of the
day was the definite selection of the
corps commanders. The announce
ment however does not contain any
surprises Though Major Cen Wesley
Merritt is accredited to the depart
ment of the Pacific such designation is
made formally, but it is known that he
will go to the Philippines in command
of the army there and will be accom-
panied by Maj. Gen. Otis. The desg-
nation of Gen. F'itzhugh Lee as com
mander of the 7th Corps, with head
quarters at Tampa, would seem to in
dicate that he is to accompany the
army of invasion to Cuba.

While observing the application
of a water meter to the water
tanks on wagons now hauling
water from the railroad tank to the
gins, Uncle Bob Scales, who is
authority on water (being an old
salt), came along and remarked to
the ARDMoREITE that the two gins
and the railroad locomotives were
using an average of 10000 gal
Ions of water every day at this
place. AS Mr.. Scales is the en-
gineer at the pump house two
miles un the road, and has a coed
idea of the capacity Of his machin
cry, the figures can be pat down
as reliable. lie went further and
told us that he had been doing
some figuring lately and concluded
that the railroad lake at the pump
house contained enough water, al
lowing for natural absorption and
using it on a basis of the present
d-man nd, without any more rain, TO
run for three months. In
speaking of water supply for the
service OF the city, Mr.. Scales SAID
it would require a daily output of
$50, 900 gallons to prove a success.

Destructive Fires.

From parties who were in town
yesterday from the Washita, the
ARDMoREITE learned of two de-
structive fires which occurred a
few days ago, one of which was on
DIR. Gilliams' farm which con-
sumed one hundred acres of corn
and crab grass and about Ia of a
mile of a rail fence. Parties
gathering corn in the field and
smoking their pipes, from which
fire was communicated to the dry
grass, caused the disaster.
The other fire, about one and a
half miles distant, on the Nc
Glesson farm, destroyed about one
hundred acres fine corn and about
two bales of unpicked cotton. This
fire is supposed to have had its
origin with some children who
were playing in the field.
