The statement that there will be

Surgeon-General' Department is alb
solutely untrue" said the secretary.
All OF th,A, have acquitted themselves
magnifcelEy throughout the whole
war. and there is no fault to be found
with them. If there has been any
lack Of supplies, food, medicine or
clothing in any of the camps it has
roen due to the officers in command or
to unavoidable circumstances. Food,
clothing and medicines have been ev-
erywhere provided in abundance. and
there has not been a re1uisitiOn for
anything that has not been promptly
filled. All an officer had to do was to
notify the department what he needed
and it was Immediately sent to him..

Point and directs all the relief work Of
the association there.
When the society turned its atten-
ton to the camp at MOntauk Point Miss
Gould was one of the first to go there
to find out the needs of the men. She
has made two visits to the camp so
far, and after each visit has personally
superintended the purchasing of the
supplies required. Two weeks ago 1t
was announced thai she had given $500
to the fund of the association, and sew
eral contributions had been made by
her previous to that. In addition to
this assistance Miss Gould, with some
of the other members Of the %associa-
ton, has visited several of the hospital
ships and offered GO supply anything
that was needed. IN several cases the
offer was accepted and supplies were
purchased by her. On her visits to
Camp Wikoff Miss Gould has gone all
over the camp. as t was her desire to
come in close conta't with the men and
learn their needs If detail. 1t was the
observations thus made that led Miss
Gould to make the yift of $4,000.

Madrid. Auc. Ed. In an interview
to-day Prime Minister Sagasta said that
as soon as the Cortes meets he VIII
submit a bill authorizing the peace ne
gotiations.
The House would not discuss the
question of peace or war. The Depu-
ties were completely lacking the ma
terials necessary. Such INFORMATION,
based on concrete positive facts. had
not arrived yet.
He did not believe there would be q
discussion of the surrender of Sauti-
ago and Manila. A discussion of the
destruction of Admiral Cervera's squad
ron would not be permissible. That
was a matter that was before the Su-
preme Council Of War.
The nations were merely in a state
of suspension IN order that the nego-
tiatiOns may be successful, but it might
happen that hostilities would be re
commenced.

London. Aug. 3l.-A despatch to the

He added that if the Government re-
fuses to furnish official documents for

The members of the opposition are not

The Army Mule and His Driver

The management of the regular army in
the field is almost sordidy businesslike, but
in the end it makes for the picturesque. The
baggage train, for example, as 1t tolls down
the highway, is superb. The wagons are of
a faded blue color and bit battered. But
they are like those veterans you sometimes
see at encampments The old army over
coat they have resurrected for the OCCASION
has faded to the palest of blues and the
wearer is bit battered. He is sound at the
core, though, and so are those numbering
caravans that have come all the way from
Fort Reno and further. They lurch through
the sand and over the rocks of the Florida
highway and nothing gives. They are piled
high with tents and greasy camp equipage
and boxes Of ammunition. Six mules draw
them, and the mules are admonished un-
ceasingly in profane monotone by pow
erful person, who has learned to drive with
one rein. The most poetic and seductive
names appear with what might at first blush
seem startling irrelevancy, considering the
general context of the drivers remarks. One
is surprised to hear him couple the names
of Lena, Paulina and Sadie with his frantic
exhortations as to the rights of the road and
the proper conduct of an army mule. Still.
I see no reason why even an army mule
should not be graced with a romantic name.
Life at best can hold so little for an army
