SOLDIERS ARE DOING WELL.
Camp Officers Annoyed by False Reports Touching the Food and Healthful-
 ness of the Volunteers.

CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ga, June 7.- The officers at Camp Thomas have been annoyed greatly by the misleading and utterly false reports being sent out from this point by special corre- spondents touching the healthfulness of the camp. Out of 42,000 men now in the army here there are not half dozen serious cases of sickness, and the men are now getting the regular allowances of every kind of food and in abundance. Men are not getting Delmonico meats. but they are getting the best and freshest soldiers diet to be had. The commissary in charge of the depot of subsistence, in Chattanoo- ga, has also been annoyed no little by the false statements sent abroad that the department has been unable to secure storage sufficient for the SUD- plies, and that that is the reason the men are mot properly fed" Contrary to this statement, there are now al- ready in the depot here over 1000, 900 rations and ample room for 5000, 900 if needed. There is not the slightest ground for reasonable complaint among the troops here, if their com missaries and quartermasters know their business and attend to it.
 General orders were issued yester- day to all regiments in camp to pro- ceed at once to recruit heir companies to the full strength of 106 men. The order was for one recruiting officer and four enlisted men to each battal- ion. The details were made out in number of regiments and the work of recruiting will begin at once.

WILL HELP CONSUMERS.
Dealers Say the Proposed Fax Tea VIII Insure Better and More Health
 fuI Article.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-The treasury department looks at the tax on tea as one which will provide considerable revenue. The importation of tea for the year ended with June last reached 1l3, 347, f75 pounds, which is the great est quantity ever imported in any one year. On that basis, the proposed duty of ten cents per pound would yield S11,000,0 ,000 Dealers and inn porters have been advocating duty on tea for some time. upon the belief that it's effect would be to exclude the adulterated and low grade teas that now come here from London in large quantities. The per capita consumption of ten in the United States is iK pounds, so that the proposed tax of ten cents a pound would be equivalent to tax of Is cents per capita. 1t is contended, however, that the imposition of the tax will make no addition to the price to the consumer, while it will, on the other hand, insure him better and more healthful article.

Capt Vernon Gridley is the hrst American officer of great prominence whose death is direct re- suit of the existing war with Spain. Upon the arrival of the Zafiro at Honp Kong on May 20 the navy department was notified that Capt. Gridley had been condemned by board of medical survey and ''invalided" home. Subse- quent advices received by the depart ment indicated that Capt. Gridley was suffering from the effects of rupture supposed to have been received during the battle at Manila, but no details were given. On May 2S he left Hong Kong with Paymaster Galt on the steamer Optic. It would appear that Capt Gridley died about the time the ship reached Kobe.
