LOOKING OUT FOR GUNS,
Officials Hold a Conference With the
Winchester Arms People.

Washington, March ia representa-
tive of the Winchester Arms company
was in conference today with General
Miles and General FlagIer, at the office of
the bureau of ordnance of the army, with
a view to examining various patterns of
rifles made by this concern, and of ascer-
tanning how speedily these could be fur
nished in large quantities in case of emer-
gency. Samples of two of the latest pat
terms Of 3o-caliber rifles, one a Winches-
ter and the other a Lee straight pull
gun, were examined. No contracts were
made, but the conference led to a full IN
erstanding.
The representative of the Winchester
company stated that the present CONNER
cial demand, particularly that connected
with the KlOndike excitement, kept the
company at its full capacity but that
government orders would be filed with
out reference to these private obligations.
The company has a force of 1920 men,
and by working ten hours a day with
several shifts it is believed that the gov
eminent could be supplied with rifles at
WincheSterS could be supplied at once.

Austria and Germany Much Opposed
to a Spanish War.

New York, March 16.-A Copyrighted
London cablegram to the Evening Post
says:
1.-The general English comment on the
Vienna news that Emperor Francis JO-
seph is leading a crusade among the
continental powers in SPANS behalf, is
that this was only to be expected from
the family ties, the queen regent being
an Austrian archduchess while relig-
iOus ties all encourage Austrian symPa-
thy with Spain. Moreover. there is the
emperor's well known dread of the pos
sible future consequence of American
intervention in European affairs.
"All that is known in well informed
quarters here suggests that both the
Austrian and the German emperors
would go great lengths to prevent an
outbreak of war between America and

THE DEADLY CIGARETTE.
Ninety Per Cent of the Volunteer
Objections attributed to 1t,

Ninety Per Cent of the Volunteer
Objections attributed to 1t.
A special from Washington to
the Times Democrat dated May II,
says: The large numbr of rel ectioDs of
volunteers has caused much COM
ment in the army medical corps.
However, the physicians who have
conducted the examinations say
that outside of the ranks of cigar
cite smokers there are even fewer
reflections than there were In the
DAYS of the civil war. Among hab.
itual users of the cigarette the re-
iections are about 80 per cent.
DR.. Benjamin King of Philadels
phia, who acted as an examining
surgeon during 1S61-63 in New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Ind.
ana, says the average reflections
during those years did not exceed
10 per cent. He attributes the
large increase almost entirely TO
the cigarette habit.
81 have been inspecting the pa
pers in number of cases under
the present recruiting act" said
Dr.. King, "and ] observe that most
of the men who failed to pass the
medical examination have weak
hearts or lack the vitality necessary
to make good soldier. | had
expected the percentage OF reject
ions would be greater now than IN
1861, bat | did not dream that it
would be almost three times as
great. The examining physicians
with whom / have talked have
generally told me that the excess of
reflections is due to the large num-
Der of young men applying for en-
listment who have become victims
OF the cigarette habit"

LATEST WAR NEWS.

AS we go to press news comes
that the Cape Verde Fleet under
command of Admiral Gervera, has
succeeded in REACHING Santiago,
on the southeastern coast of Cuba.
1t has been( sdrmised for some time
that the destination of the fleet
was some point in Cuba, where
cannon and ammunition, which Gen.
BIanco stands very much III need
of, could be landed. Cervera seems
to have succeeded in his purpose
by misleading Sampson and our
naval authorities as to his destins-
ton and the movements of Ills feet.
1t remains to be seen whether either
of the two American squadrons can
corner him in or near Santiago and
compel HIN to fight, which he does
lot want TO do.

B. OIL. r. PICNIC.

The annual picnic OF the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers
given at Heidelberg last Tuesday
was a grand success. The largest
crowd ever known to attend before
was present and everybody seemed
to enjoy themselves hugely.
The day passed off very pleas
antly, and with the exception OF
fight between some drunken fel.
lows on the New Orleans excursion,
there was not an incident to mar
the pleasure Of any one.
A crowd of fellows with their
pockets full of pistols and brass
knucks and their hides full Of
whisky boarded the train at Or
visburg IN search of game, and they
soon found it. They soon found
themselves in the hands of officers,
who by order OF manager HAWKS
locked them up in the calaboose at
Hattiesburg. The officers then
searched the train and arrested all
who were found to be drunk or
disorderIy, and succeeded in land
ing thirteen in jail.
After this all went well, as officers
were detailed TO look out for any
who might under lake to repeat the
episode, and it had the desired
effect. Mr.. Hawks deserves the
highest praise and credit for his
promptness in suppressing such
lawlessness, and it IS hoped that
it will be severe warning to such
fellows that their style Of picnicing
will not be tolerated by respectable
people.
