In view of the probability that the

a recruiting office was opened te

sanitary 1nspe ctor at Hayana. states
that there we're in the Span
ish hospitals daily, out of an army,
of 10 900 men, from 0,OOO to 80 900
soldiers. The unsanitary conditions
surrounding the men and the Insult
Gent attention given them, together
with a lack of good food, are re-
sponsible for these facts.
DIR. Drummer also secured informa-
ton about all of the coast fortific&'
tons around Havana, and PERSONAL
~ saw planted eight of the subma
rine mines now in the harbor there.
DR.. Drummer does not think an
army of invasion should be sent te
Cuba on account of the likelihood Of
q great mortality from yellow fevel
and other fevers. He says with thu

iards will probably soon assembl

The Commissioners refused to grant

The act of 1897, Chapter lGi, Section

stituting the words "may grant" for
"shall grant" when the applicant has

in the case.
Chief Justice FairclOth says in the
decision rendered by the court In that
case: SIN the agreed case sent to THE
court we can see no arbitrary exercise
of power, and as no reasons are as
signed for the refusal to grant the
order, we have to assume that the de-

discretion, which is not renewable by
