GEN. COPP|NGER
 FOR PORTO RICO Will Have Troops Ready to En- bark When Transports
 Arrive.

Washington, July 30.-Adjutant- General Corbin has received a telegram from Gen. eral Shafter at Santiago, dated July 29, as follows:
 ''The Sergurancia the Knickerbocker, Saratoga and Iroquois leave here tomorrow night (tonight) for Tampa. The Miami and Matawan have only forage on board. They will be unloaded next. They have been retained until near the last on account of their condensing 13,0O0 gallons of water each per day. without which the fleet could not have gotten along"
 General Corbn transmitted copy of this telegram to General Coppinger, command ing the trops at Tampa. "You should have troops at Tampa You should have troops in readiness" he says, ito embark for Porto Rico on their arrival. The secretary of war directs me to say that he has no objection to your going to Porto Rico with any part of your command when you may desire, but on leaving you will notify this office and the next officer in rank to your self. who will succeed you in command"

BLANKS MUST BE
 IN TOMORROW Special Taxes Must be Reported
 to the Collector. UNCLE SAWS WAR MEASURE Is the Most General Ever Levied by the Government-The Forms Must be Accompanied by the Mon
 ey in All Gases.
UNCLE SAWS WAR MEASURE

Under the special war tax levied by the government which went into effect on the 1st of July, all persons dealing in articles subject to the tax will be compelled to have their blanks in the hands of Collector Bingham by tomorrow evening.
 This tax is the most general one of its kind ever levied by the authority of the United States. It takes in numerous en- terprises hitherto exempt from special taxation, and for this reason the manner in which it is to be collected has been generally misunderstood.
 Dealers in whiskies and tobacco, who have all along been compelled to pay the special tax, understand the manner of properly filling the blanks but many of the business men who have recently been brought under the tax are not familiar with the process.
 A special blank form, known as form No. Il, has been issued for the convenience of the dealers and the revenue collectors, and the taxpayer must sign and swear to this return and forward it to the collector of internal revenue for his district, together with the amount of tax he is due the government for the year.
 If the returns properly made out are sent without the money the dealer will be sub- feet to the penalty as if he had ignored the tax altogether
 In all cases 1t is necessary to send the returns and the money together.

NO MOVEMENT OF
 TROOPS EXPECTED

Chickamauga National Park July 3O.- Major General Wade and his staff were busy today moving their headquarters and no orders of any kind were issued No orders indicating further movement of troops from this camp were received from Washington. It is generally accepted here as the policy of the war department not to send any further troops forward until there is something more definite in connec- tion with the proposed negotiations for peace.
 The only regiment arriving at Camp Thomas today was the Sixth United volunteer immunes from Knoxville. This regiment, commanded by Colonel L. D. Tyson, was assigned to the Second brigade, Third division Third corps.
 A heavy rain fell at the park this af- ternoon, accompanied by strong winds that threatened the safety of many of the tents.
 Private Will Lawson, of the Second Ar kansas, was killed today while attending the target practice at the regimental range. Lawson had been detailed to keep the target while the squad at practice were firing. During a period of firing @ red af1g is hoisted by the squad as warning to the men attending the target, red flag is hoisted by the squad as some reason stuck his head above the pit when bullet passed through his head kill- ing him instantly.

The Congressional elections are les

The Congressional elections are bess
than four weeks away. and naturally
much more interest Is taken In them
than was felt month or two ago.
Most of the candidates on both sides
have been put In the field The out
look is extremely favorable to the he.
publicans. The war issue alone would
be reasonably sure to give them the
victory. but other considerations also
help them. A knowledge that IT the
Democrats should chance to win TINS
fall the silver issue would be up IN
1900. and the business improvement
checked, will turn hundreds OF thous-
nnds OF votes to the Republicans which
would otherwise remain with the Dem
ocrnts. The people Of the United
States have found by forty years OF
experience that no party can be trust
I'd with the control of the government
in critical periods except the Republi-
can party. Until all the questions
growing out of the war are settled,
and until there is an absolute certainty
that the Bryanite regulators are SO
thoroughly beaten that they will never
dare attempt to resurrect the dishonest
dollar issue again, the Republican
party will be kept In power.

bowling loud and strong about the
robbery" which Lieut.. Col. White was
said to have perpetrated upon the
State, in drawing two salaries at "one

say. The fact is, and 1t is the easiest
matter in the world to verify il, his
salary as quartermaster ceased the day
he was mustered into the United
States service. In the same manner,
Lieut.-Col. Smiths salary as assistant
quartermaster, stopped when he made
the same change. These lies are so

Russian Wheat Crop Failure.

Once more the American farmer 10
on the lucky side of the fence. The
wheat crop Of Russia, which was pre-
dicted record one, has failed, 1t is
reported that there will probably be a
famine during the coming winter in
that country. In Northern and Gen.
trail Russia the crops are reported a
complete failure, while in Southern
Russia the yield is far beneath the
average.
This fact, taken with the probability
Of war between Chile and the Argen-
tine Is bound to have its effect on Am
erican grains. The South American
war dogs may possibly be called Off,
but from present appearances both
sides are willing to fight, and Chile
Is especially anxious to have 1t over
soon. Famine and war are the two
potent factors that make for high
prices in grain, and it begins to look
as though the American farmer would
have the benefit of both.
