missioners. in view of the great number
of American citizens in the island who

sui here TO distribute relief, have, ac-
cording TO report. asked the Washington

According TO information received, the
commissioners have advised the govern
ment that il would be very dangerous TO

the existing barracks. as they have be-
come infected by overcrowding with sick
Spanish soldiers. and because Of the bad

ADOPTIONs MUST STAND.
Att'y-Gen. Decides That Schooi
boards Cannot Rescind Action.

Information has reached the Depart
ment of Public Instruction that in GER
tain counties and cities Of the State,
where books have been adopted, efforts
are making by publishers and their
agents 10 have the matter reopened. The
department has given the matter careful
consideration. and the opinion of the
Acknowledgement has been obtained as
to the construction Of the act passed by
the last General Assembly prohibiting
county and city boards from changing
or substituting any books after they have
been adopted until they have been used
for a period Of not less than four years.
This act applies to all books, except
United States histories. The department
holds that after county or city school
board has adopted books and adjourned,
IL is not lawful for them TO meet again
and rescind their action taken at a pre-
vious meeting in adopting books. This
decision is intended TO put stop 10 the
contests now going on in certain counties
and cities that have already adopted
books. and circular will probably be
issued to county and city superintendent
informing them of the decision OF the
Department of Public instruction, and
urging them to prevent any reconsidera-
ton i'm their respective jurisdictions.
