tI!CKANAUGA PARK. Ga, June TO-
Owing to the extreme heat that pre-
vailed here yesterday there were no
heavy movements or prolonged drills.
the days work being confined almost
exclusively to battalion and regimenIal
Inaneuvers. This weather is regarded
by the authorities as the best for sea-
>nning the troops and acclimating
chem to the more extreme heat to b,-
encounted further south. The camp
has been rife with rumOrs of removals
OF soldiers to points further south.
fien. Brooke states that no orders
have been issued fo;- transfer of troops
and none is expected for some days.
II is believed that Il call has been
inade by the department for a list
of the regiments now here that are
sufficiently equipped to go to the front.
There are not probably 20 out OF
the 43 ready for service, but it
IS confidently asserrrd by the
officers who were seen to-day
that an order for thcs- ;n move will be
fnrtiicoming within IL I,rrtaiElIt, as it
is believed that the tronr. Irom Camp
Alger will be ordered Iw.iy first mas
much as the camp at LAT point has
been unsatisfactory. and because there
has been SO much delay in equippiIg
the forces at this point.
Gen. Grant, who has been indiSposed
for several days, has entirely rccGg-
cred. and announced yesterday t.r:t
las battle problem would be WORKED!
Saturday by the nine regiments o. tbs
first division of the th!G.i corps. The
general has devoted great deal OF
time and thought to the details of the
battle and it is arousing much inter

aged according to the following rules:
No mention will be made of snakes
less than five feet long.
1t is useless to bring in garter
snake tales they won't go. no matter
how big the snake is.
No reference will be made to rattle
snakes having less than seventeen rat
ties and one large. well developed
bIt:on.
Snake bite medicine will Ike referred
to simply as ''old stingO.'
No allusion will be made to black
snakes unless they are as thick as Il
200-pounder' left thigh.
All persons sending or bringing
snake stories to this Office will be re-
quired to make affidavit that they
have not had delirium tremens within
three months or recently conversed
with Lon Stephens.
All snakes brought to this office
must be accompanied by a death GER
tiiicate from the board of health-we
propose to take no risks.
Ribald remarks about snake stories
contained in this paper will be imme-
diately followed by slander suit.
Hoop snakes are not in style this
season. and persons who report see
ing them will be viewed with grave
suspicion.
No snake stories of any sort will be
accepted from persons residing in dis
tricts where wood alcohol, turpentine
benzine and kerOsine oil are used as
beverages.
Snake stories will be paid for with
checks good for a dose of bromo selt-
ger at any of the drug stores. One
check for each foot of snake.

Capt.-Gen. Augusti VIII Be Ordered to

LONDON. June 1O.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
There is now little doubt that
Spain. seeing the hopelessness Of fun

council yesterday finally authorized
Duke Almodavar d. Rio to expedite

Spain Is Snquestionably looking to
Austria for assistance in her distress.
1t is unlikely that any appeal will b.
made to the pope, as the earlier inter-
vention of his holiness met with a dis
couraging reception in America.
probably Capt. Gen. Augusti will be,
ordered to make the best terms he can
with Admiral Dewey. A minister has
informed me that if reinforcements

Augusti would be ordered to ho.d out
