An order from headquarters has been
issued to Colonel Fred Bennttt, Of the
Third Illinois Infantry, commanding the
second brigade Of the first division, hrst
corps, TO forward the wagon trains OF
his brigade to Charleston at once.
Quartermaster Lee has arranged for
the railroad transportation and the
wagons and mules VIII be shipped to-
night and tomorrow. 1t is said that at
least half the regiments OF the FIRST
corps are on waiting orders and VIII
move at an early date, though no NOV

Colonel Bennltt's briSude, composed OF
the Fourth Ohio, Fourth Pennsylvania

SAID now that this brigade wilB pc

they will not go before tomorrow noon
at the earliest.
Everything indicates that a forward

Various improvements are now being
made at the second division, third

patients has Just been arranged and

a new surgical ward has been estab-

pItaL OF this number there are twenty

The hospital OF the third division, first
corps, has almost us many patients as
Il Will accommodate. Included in Its
list OF patients are number of typhoid
fever cases. The Ninth Pennsylvania

to this hospital. In the opinion OF Ma

these cases are typhoid, but there Is
dispute as to this, the surgeons Of the
division Hospital being in some doubt as
TO the nature OF the cases. Because OF
this difference of opinion, test is to be
made. The test to be applied Is what Is
known as the W1Clls test LOT typholu

Spain seems to take no account Of her

Under such circumstances, he said, the
only thing left for this country to do Is
to press on until Spain reaches some

Captain Cook, of the Brooklyn, Is au-
thorltv for the statement that the for
mer Spanish flagship, the Infanta Ma
ria Teresa, has floated of the reef on
which she stranded and that her heavy
armament is practically unlnjured. The
captain also says this cruiser VIII al

trophy OF the glorious July 3:
The Crlstobal Colon may also be saw
ed, though a good deal depends on the
weather which is very uncertain at TINS
time OF the year. a heavy storm might
drive the cruisers so high on the coral
reef that 1t would be impossible TO iioat
her.
Many OF the naval men are outspoken
In their criticism OF the treatment Of
the Colon Immediately after her surren-
der. They believe the ship could have
been saved when she slipped back
from the reef into deep water, had div
ers, carpenters and machinists With
competent prize crew been sent on
board her.
The crew OF the Brooklyn regarded
the Vizcaya as their particular enemy
since the time when they were both
present at Queen Vlctoria's Jubilee dis
play, when there was much comment
abroad on what a good fight might be
expected between the two ships II they
ever met.
OF the four big ships which were in
Admiral Cervera's fleet only two are
surely doomed to destruction. They are

1t is well know II that floors have
been accused of grave sins. Recent
ly at the Academy of Medicine, Messrs.
Vallin and Laverau have been conduct
ing the prosecution. 1t Is fact that
the ordinary floor retains in its cracks
the most injurious dust and the most
dangerous germs. These penetrate
thence between floor and ceiling,
where they can preserve their vlru-
lence for long time. For this reason
the cracks of old floors are often
stopped up with paratlin or some
similar substance. Sometimes, for
greater economy, they are calked. In
new buildings they are often replaced
with cement. But then people com
plain, for cement is very disagreeable
to the feet. NJ. Captain, in La Mede-
cine Moderne, tells us OF Il new kind
of floor that is really in the line
of progress, if it proves to possess
durability. We speak of wood-pulp
floors, which have no cracks. They
are also bad conductors of heat and
sound, and, in spite of their durability,
are soft to the feet like, for instance,
linoleum. The wood pulp is mixed
with a small amount of cement to in
crease the resistance of the floor, the
price of which is much lower than
that of the ordinary flooring. The
dried pulp is reduced to powder to
facilitate transportation, aud this, af-
ter being made into gelatinous mass,
is pressed between rollers. When the
pulp is dry it is painted to initiate
oak or other wood, according to taste,
