WAR DEPARTMENT BEs1EGED.
Emotional Citizens in Search of
Curious inforniation.


The historic scenes of the civil war are
being re-enacted here in the National Cap
ital.
Yesterday particularly intense excite
ment permeated the city, and the State,
War and Navy Departments were the
storm centers of agitation. RI
Late in the afternoon weird, wild ru-
mors began to spring up liker those fierce,
excitable little dust cyclones in the street:
sometimes annoying, .bnt never serious.
Their source was invariably shrouded
about with uncertainty, but it was 10
the State, War and Navy Departments
that the emotional ones rushed for verifi-
cation or denial.
From O'Clock until midnight this sort
Of thing kept up.
Now it was rumnr that the American
army had been repulsed with the loss Of
several thousand lives. *
Again it was a report that Santiago had
fallen and the Spaniards were routed
Yet again, the st. Paul mad been cap
tured. Cervera's heet had escaped and
Gen. Shafter had been Wounded.

mysterious click, click OF telegraph in

sultry breeze, sure that something was
coming in from the front.
Many tried to evade the diligence of the
dOorkeepers, convinced that could they
but get upstairs with the newspaper cor

exclusive information to be peddled out

cry, four Alabama boys were officers on
the Inflated ship. They were Lieut.
