Talking about business generally, espe-
cially the Furniture business, would say,
SO far as Sydnor & Hundley are con-
cerned it is good. This may be the case
with other dealers also, which IL Is hoped
may be a fact, but there is a reason why
it should be especially so with this con-
Germ. In the first place no furniture es-
Enlistment ever did business in the city
OF Richmond who carried such varied and
complete stock Of furniture as is carried
by this concern. There is absolutely no.
thing in the line of house-fitting, so far
as furniture is concerned, that cannot
be found IN their establishment. They are
emphatcally the leaders, because the
products Of the very best manufacturer
in the United States are to be found in
their warerooms which are exclusive, so
far as they are concerned, no matter what
character Of goods may be needed. Hum
buggery has its influence sometimes, and
turns away an occasional customer, but
those who are In want Of furniture, no
matter what its grade, will find IL 10
their interest TO look at this stock and
consult it's prices. There is at this time
a magnificent display OF Ladies' Desks in
all woods, Parlor Cabinets, Fancy Chairs
cheap Rockers &c; Morris Chairs. Chlf-
fOnnieres of a varied and immense va
riety, Shaving Stands, COstumers, China
Cases, Extension Tables, Lamps, Jardi-
Mere Stands and Fancy Tables, and the
prettiest line OF Ladies' Dressing Tables
ever seen before in one house. All these
goods are in the various woods, and chal-
lenge the most fastidsous as 20 taste and
design. This is only meagre representa-
ton as TO what the stock contains. Visit
their warerOOms and no matter what
your desire may be and the condition Of
your pocket-book, you will find the stock
suited TO the situation I'm each instance.

HOW CERvERA WAS LOCATED.
BY Signal Corps, Says GreeIey-Egnn
on Value of Cooks.

WASHINGTON, December 12.-General
A. w Greeley, chief Of the Signal Service
testified before the War Investigating
been laid we'll ahead, and that when ap-
propriations became available there was
no delay in launching the work. He knew
what woCld be required and acted ac-
cordinglY.
When asked II he had any sugges-
tions to offer the commission, General
Greeley said: II believe that there should
be some officer in the American army
whose duty it should be to see that the
American soldier is fed. 1 believe the
problem Of feeding. clothing. and paying
the army Is a business one, and any three
competent businessmen could get to-
gether and devise a system as much in
advance Of our present one as that Is in
advance Of 80 years ago"
"Wi you state how Cervera was To-
Gated in Santiago?'
Through Colonel Allen. Of my corps"
said General Greeley. "who received the
news from Habana in the afternoon, and
the President had it at midnight"
-FOw did you manage to communicate
between Santiago and Habana, and how
did you get the news out of Habana?'
Eve had our confidential agents in
Cuba where they would do the most
good, and they had their own methods of
communicating with each other We ar
ranged that before the war. They were
men upon whom we could depend, and
when anything worth knowing happened
I'm cuba the President usually had it by
midnight"
THE GENERAL.
General Charles 7. Egan, commissary-
general, testified that upon assuming
charge Of his department he found an
abundance Of food on hand and with the
troops AT various points i'm the field. This
had continued NJ to date. As to COM
plants, he said about 20 per cent. Of the

The department furnished an abundance
Of potatoes. onions and tomatoes to cook
with it. If they did not reach the SOL
diers that was the faut OF the trt1spur-
tation department. Cases OF neglect in
the transportation and loading of supplies
had come 20 his notice In several cases,
and had been presented personally to the
quartermaster-ge general.
Colonel DENLY: Do you think that the
officers took proper care in seelng that
the beans. and everything else in fact.
were well cooked? Does not the value OF
the food work down to the value Of the
cook. after all?
General Egan: Unquestionably so.
