more than a million dollars yesterday

cause.
This cable dispatch from Consul Lee
was received this morning at the state
department..
''The work of relief is progressing
most satisfactory. Arrangements have
been male to transport twenty-five
C srs Of Supplies for tn starving recon
C centrados in Cienfuegos, Cardenas,
Sagua, CAioarieu and Santa Clara pro-
vinCes."
A flying squadron is a reality, and

m ,rniog and ordered to comm and it at
once. His feet will be entirely dis
tinct from the homa squadron of which
Capt. Sampson will retain supreme

department for cabling to Minister

his flag on the cruiser Brooklyn Mou-
day.
Although the president considers
that an invasion by the Spanish tor
pedo 1otilla would be very serioue, Re
doesn't view it with the same degree
of apprehension as the ravai officers,
" ho desire to intercept the Spaniards
before they reach their destination.
The right OF Spain to seed troops or
war vesse to her colonies is recog-
med, but if her preparations pass the
limits of mere defense. this country
will present signal for immediate
action of forceful character.

six months sick leave

night the company have secured the
services of Miss May Cook, better
known as Mrs. Romulus, the great
lady cornet virtuoso, who will render
one of her solos between acts.

The fact of the whole matter is that
nowhere else in the United States is
life more safe than in New Mexico.
The records of death from criminal
violence in the territory will bear out
this statement. There may have been
a time when such was not the case, but
that time passed away with the disap-
pearance of the Apaches, and the dis
banding of what few gangs of outlaws
infested the territory, and that took
place long after the southern states
were supposed to have become civilized.
Anyone contemplating visit to the
wild and woody southwest need not
hesitate for fear of losing his life in q
sudden manner from dose of rapidly
projected lead. Lead is used in the
smelters of the territory for fluxing
purposes, and as q marketable product,
very seldom as q means of shedding
blood New Mexican.

These soldiers belonged to company E, Third Texas regiment, and were returning to Fort Clark from Fort St. Philip. They were ragged, shoeless and emaciated by sickness contracted while camping at Fort St Philip, marshy, malarious place, about 80 miles from New Orleans. They expressed themselves to the effect that when they are once mustered out, they are through forever with soldering, and that they would only wear soldier uniform under compulsion again.

The Requirements of Household, Wards
 robe and Society.
 Table linen is of the utmost luxury, but Is now white except at breakfast and tea. Fine damask or heavy linen enriched with lace Is the most elegant. Lace decorated tabieeloths and napkins are the newest, although some conservative houseKeepers prefer satin damask of the finest weave and design, undecorated save by it's own pattern and an initial, crest or cipher heavily embroidered in linen floss. A fashionable dinner table recently seen will serve as model for indicating the general tendency of modern style in this line The cloth consisted of squares of linen, hem stitched and embroidered, which were separated by bands of venetian insertion, an ob1ong piece of linen forming the mid- dle of the cloth. The napkins were bor- dered with band of venetian insertion and drawn work, embroidered hem hay ing q square pattern of blocks. The floral

IN THE HANDS
 OF THE SHERIFF.
Captain Duncans Case on the Charge of Descending Graves Is Becom-
 ing More Complicated.

Washington, Aug, 3I. Captain Lonis c. Duncan, surgeon of the Twenty. sec ond Kansas regiment, is held by the sheriff of Fairfax county, Virginia, to answer an indictment charging him with desecrating Confederate graves at Bull Run, near Manassas.
 It appears that Dr. Duncan, whose case has now become famous, was not sentenced to five years imprisonment, as reported from Camp Meade, Pa, but escaped much more lightly Ut the hands of the military court, there being lack of evidence to prove that he actually took part in despoiling the graves.
 On the first specification, that of hay ing participated in tine deseeratlon, ho was acquitted, but on the second speci. fcation, that of conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, the court found him guilty
 The finding Of the conrtmartial, ap- proved by General Davis, was that Sur geon Duncan be deprived of his rank for two months, be confined to regimcntal camp and forfeit half his pay for the same length of time and that he be rep. rimanded by the commanding general.
 How Dr. Duncan is to be confined to regimental camp for months, when he is now the prisoner of the sheriff of Fair fax county is difficult to understand

INSTRUCTIONS TO
 THE COMMISSIONS
Cuba will Be Talsen Charge of by the Government the same as
 at Santiago.

Washington, Aug. 3l.-The nstruc- tions to the Cuban and Porto Rlean military commissioners were drawn up and approved by the president before he left Washington and are now ready to be delivered to the president of each before he leaves. The instructions will not be made public, but their general terms are known to be the same as the i structions sent to General Shafter re- garding the government of Santiago and to General Merritt regarding the Phil ippines This will mean that the mlli. tary commission will take control of Cuba and Porto Rico the same as the military governor now controls that portion of Cuba surrendered to the United States after the Santiago cam paign The many minor details rela- tive to the evacuation of the islands are left to the commissions which will re- port any difficulty or disputed point at Washington There never has been doubt that the United States would take full control of Porto Rico, but the in- structions to the Cuban military com mission settles all questions regarding that, and means that for the present at least, the United States will assume the government and control of the re- mainder of the island as has been the case i'll Santiago.
