VeriscOpe Pictures.

Veriscope Pictures. - The veriscope
pictures of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
fight were exhibited here before a small
audience Saturday afternoon and a con-
siderably larger audience in the evening.
The pictures were not quite as distinct
perhaps, as expected, but every move
ment made by the two fighters, referee,
seconds, etc, during the IA rounds could
be seen. The audience watched the pic
lures with intense interest and gave an
occasional vent to their feelings as if they
were watching the real thing. The last
round, where Corbett is defeated and the
spectators swarm to the platform, is an
exciting scene. The pictures were not as
steady as those shown by the present
moving picture machines and the detects
in the film were very apparent, but the
representation of this famous pugllistic
contest is probably the most wonderful
thing ever attempted with this modern
invention.

The matter of Improvement OF Eastern
avenue was left the hands of the
trustees; though just what they are
going to do about it in the absence of
any specific appropriation is not quite
clear. Incidentally, Harvlin Paddock
suggested that if the avenue could be
taken hold u in the good old-fashioned
way, and the Macadamizing process
that was begun some time ago be car
ried on gradually, that thoroughfare
would come out all right.
Owing to the absence of certain advo-
Gates OF a city charter, the article bear,
ing on that topic was laid on the table.
1t was voted to leave the appropriating
of money or outdoor band concerts to
the discretion of the trustees, the amount
not to exceed $500.

There was a village meeting on We'd
nesday, from 8 a. m. TO 2 p. m. Lots OF
our citizens didn't know this; if they did,
they forgot it. There are 1241 names on
the check list, and the number of ballots
cast at the meeting was 120. This is
less than 10 per cent Of the voting
strength of the village. The fact that
there was no contest over any OF the

the new law the caucus has grown in i'm
portance, combined to bring about this
decidedly slim manifestation Of interest
in the annual meeting.
When it came to the doing Of business,

1.-THE OLIVETTE MYSTERY
The Cause of the Sinking Of
the Vessel Unknown.
NO LOSS TO GOVERNMENT
Ina the Opinion of Some officials at
u Purpose In Sinking the Hos
pitaI Ship-She VIII Have to Be
Raised by the Owners.

The mysterious sinking of The hospital
ship OIiyette in the harboE of Fernan-
dina, Fla, early yesterday morning was
generally commented upon oy war and
naval officials last evening Faricus e3h-
lectures and theories were advanced, bit
the prevailing opinion was that IL WAS she
work of some miscreant with pnrj't Sc.
Prior to her sinking the Olive,te was ~
ing near the quarantine station. There
was crew of eighty men tooard. thirty
five of the number being members of the
hospital corps, the remainder the regular
complement of officers and sailors. All
of these escaped in scanty attire, :nei-
eating that she went down rapidly, as
the men did not have an opportunity 20
either dress themselves or save their ! G.
longings.
Owners Accept the Risks.
Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn
stated last night that the Government
was perfectly safe in the matter, as when
he made the contracts with owners of
vessels used as transports or In the hos
pitaI service. the owners agreed TO ac-
lated.
Under the terms with the Plant System,
owners of the Olivette, the owners will
have to raise the vessel from where she
is and return her 10 Tampa. Assistant
Secretary Meiklejohn insisted upon these
conditions in the case of all the trans
ports.
He added that he knew nothing of the
circumstances of the sinking.
Major Bird. quartermaster, received a
dispatch last night from Quartermaster
Williams at Fernandina. 1t states that
the Olivette sank at 2:30 O'Clock yester-
dan morning off the quarantine station.
The master of the vessel is unable to as
sign any cause for the sinking. The dis
patch also states that a wrecl1ing vessel
has been sent from Jacksonville TO raise
the sunken steamer
Surgeon General Sternberg also received
dispatch last night announcing the
sinking of the hospital steamer and stat
ing that there were no casualties.
Company May Investigate.
Quartermaster Bird was asked if there
would be an official investigation of the
sinking of the Olive,te. He replied that
II would be to the interest Of the COM
pany owning the steamer TO make TIN in
yestigation and forward the facts 10 the
War Department. The Government will
not take the initiative. The company
having undertaken all the risks must
| furnish the underwriters with all the
| facts in the case and this will relieve the
/ Government of the necessity OF making
| the investigation.
| The Oliveute left Boston several days
ago. When first turned over 10 the
| Government she was employed as trans
| port. but was afterward converted into a
| hospital ship.
! Before the war began she was one OF
! the Plant liners, plying between Tampa.
! Key West, and Havana. Her officers
being familiar with southern waters adds
! to the mystery OF her sudden disappear
ance beneath the waves.
| 1t was proposed in few days to have
returned 200 volunteers on the Olivette TO

PREPARING FOR NEW PATIENTS
Many Transfers From Camp WikoR
Hospital to New Ycrk.

Camp wikof. Montauk Point, N. Y,
Aug. 3l.-Today finds a marked improve
ment in the general hospital. Three hum
dred and fifty patients were sent to New
York this morning on the Yueatan and
later today as many more leave on the
San Marcus. That leaves room for near
ly 1000 patients as they come out of the
hospital
Opinions as to the benefits or Ills which
may resulI to the troops oy keeping
them at Camp Wikoff differ. Gen. Ames
argues that they are low spirited and
that well men If kept here very lons
VII become sick from mere discourage
ment.
The advantage that may be enjoyed by
the War Department by keeping the reg
l,lars here until they are cafed for gar
rison duty in Cuba he brushes aside by
saying that any of the military posts OF
the East are as easy of access as Zion
tauk. ReSirnental and division surgeons
have an entirely different view of the
subject. EaS
The surgeon in charge OF the cavalry
division says his men are the healthiesJ
In tha Fifth Army Corps. and that the
change for the better in their appearance
is great.
Nowhere in the camp are sanitary con-
ditions so carefully observed as in the
regimen;al camps. Yesterday MAJOR
Brown issued a general order directing
that the troops be allowed to drink none
but boiled water. Some Of the regimen
tal surgeons have been urging that upon
their men for a week. and in very maly
camps il is strictly observed 1t Is the
plan now 10 further relieve the general
hospital by withdrawing as many pa
tients from them 10 the division hospitals
as soon as practicable. so THAI the Sc
rious cases can receive more attention
and have more room. Extra surgeons
will be needed for the new hospitals, and
will be brought here as they are needed

The regulars have not been paid. Many

tions and almost without attendance
They think it wrong, but their loyalty to
the army is mistaken. They believe
Gen. Wheeler and their officers are doing
wonders. They are sick and wretched,
but reserve most of their curses for the
amateurs" who got into the army.
