The murderers of the bank messenger
Lamarre, in the employ Of the Comp

appeared at the end of November have
been discovered. The last money the
unfortunate man had collected was
from person living at Bicetre, after
which all trace of him was lost. AS
he was man of regular habits and
known honesty, the police felt sure that
he must have been robbed and done

named Carrara, a mushroom grower,
who had lived for the last fourteen
years in house situated in Rue Ell

THE GREAT RAT DANCE OF IA.

During the fall of 1874 rats became a
serious menace to the farmers Of Jack
son county, Kansas, and one night at a
meeting of the literary society in the
Coleman school house It was proposed
to organize a hunt. Sides were chosen
and 1t was agreed that the losers were
to pay for supper and dance. Three
weeks were fixed as the limit of the
hunt, but this was reduced to ten days
when it was discovered that warm
weather was making it impossible to
preserve the tails, which were to be
used in making the count At the end
of ten days both hunting teams assem-
bled at the school house where their
tails and a count was made, with the
result of showing $3.50 dead rats in to-
tai More than 1000 of these had been
killed on the farm of G. w. Mercy
nolds alone. After the count supper
was served and a dance followed until
daylight. The affair is still known in
local annals as the great rat Dance

WIRES KEPT HOT
Between Commodore Schley and
Washington For 36 Hours.

Kingston, Jamaica, May 31.-A hot
exchange of dispatches between Com
modore Schley and Washington has oc-
CURED during the last SO hours and an
important movement of Schley's fleet
is expected soon. The auxiliary cruiser
Yale put in here Saturday, receiving
and sending cablegrams. The Yale and
the Harvard have been in Jamaica wa
ters several times, acting as dispatch
boats.
The Associated Press dispatch boat
Dandy has had an unpleasant expert
ence. Owing to a misconstruction of
the neutrality laws she was detained
here from Saturday until Monday by
refusal of British officials to allow her
to coal, fearing it was violation of the
neutrality. 1t was only by energetic
action of the American consul, Mr.. Sny-
der that the Dandy yesterday received
permission to take fuel.

Volunteer Army Preparing to
Leave Chickamauga Park.

Chattanooga, May 31.-The prepara-
tions for the departure of eight regi-
ments of infantry from Chickamaugua
for Tampa are being vigorously pushed
today with the indications are that all
of the eight get out during the next
forty-eight hours. The first to go will
be the First Illinois, the First Ohio, the
157th Indiana and the Third Pennsyl-
vania These are scheduled to leave
tonight. The work of breaking camp
and packing up came early during the
day. The men and equipments will be
loaded on trains in the park and these
trains will be given the right of way
over all others by the railroads. The
detachment formed by the four regi-
ments will number about 1000 men and
will be commanded by Brigadier Gen
eral Snyder.
The second detachment, which will
probably leave tomorrow night, will be
composed of the Second New York
Sixty-ninth New York, Fifty third Dis
trict of Columbia and Fifth Maryland.
Brig. Gen. L. H. Carpenter will COM
mand this detachment. Gen. Carpen-
ter has been in command of the First
division of the Third corps at the park,
while Gen. Snyder has been in COM
mand of Third division of the First
corps. Each of the eight regiments
will be equipped with Springfield rifles,
calibre As, and 500 rounds of ammuni-
ton. These, except what are in the
hands of the men will be shipped by
rail.
Each regiment will provide itself with
two days travel rations in haversacks
and eight days full rations in wagon
train. Fifty days full rations will
be shipped by rail to the chief commits
Sary at Tampa.
1t is now generally believed here that
the various regiments encamped in
the park will be sent on to the front
as soon as they are in fit condition.
The idea that the big army will be
kept intact here all summer, is now
entertained bV few officers

the nature of interruption until the
work was finished on Friday.
While the cargo was being unloaded
the Osceola, an auxiliary gunboat, with
her guns ready for action, secuted
about the vicinity, looking for an
enemy, but the Spaniards apparently
had no suspicion of what was taking
place. So easily was the dangerous
mission accomplished that while some
members of the party were getting the
supplies ashore, others were providing
themselves with fruit sugar and other
products of the landing place, a large
stock of which was brought back to
Key West friends.
Nevertheless, no precautionary meas
ure was neglected, and the moment the
work was concluded, the Florida and
the Osceloa slipped away, leaving the
insurgents to convey their reinforce
ments into the interior, which it is con-
ffdently expected was done without
any casualty.
The returning members of the Florida
partly brought with them several hun
dred letters, which it is understood
give a complete insight into the present
conditions prevailing in the blockaded
island.

tainable from other sources, however,
strongly indicate that the important
military movement now in progress
will be directed against Santiago and
in cooperation with the fleet under
Commodore Schley and the allied in
surgent forces.
Our forces are expected to speedily
capture the city of Santiago and the
fleet or destroy both. 1t is also inti-
mated from high sources that the land
ing expedition now embarking at Key
West may be divided and one division
sent to cooperate with Admiral Saup-
son against Porto Rico. 1t is believed
that the government now has a su1li-
cient number of regulars and seasoned
volunteers to carry out both of these
plans to a successful issue. Transports
in sufficient numbers and capacity al
ready have been secured and it is the
opinion of high officials that one CT
both of these plans are now being car
ried into effect
