Troops to Arrive-The POst-Omce-
satisfactory.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, July 2.-(Spe-
iaL)-It is now stated officially that the
Eighth Ohio and two battalions OF the
Sixth Illinois will arrive here either to-
morrow afternoon or Monday morning
from Camp Alger, Va.
The Chesapeake and Ohio steamships
Greenbrier and Chckahominy, which will
probably be the first of that lines ships
to DO used as transports, Will arrive in
port tomorrow at daybreak from Eng
land.
Inspector G.. Il. Wilson, of the United
States postal service, spent from O'Clock
yesterday afternoon until I o'clock this
morning making an examination Of the
post-office accounts, and at the latter
hour put on his coat and declared that
he was perfectly satisfied with the man
ner in which Postmaster Read was look
ing after the governments interests. Two
remarkable facts were developed in this
examination. The fiscal year just closed
was better than the preceding year by
% per cent. This speaks well for Mr..
Reads management Of the office. In
spector Wilson complimented the post
master on this excellent showing. The
money-order receipts for the week end
ing last Saturday (six days. were $3.50.
This is much larger than great many
offices having more patrons and a con-
siderably larger field TO draw from.
The Plant Line steamship La Grande
Duchesse went out for another trial trip
this morning. carrying 'common-sense"
propellers. She returned this evening af-
ter having made satisfactory run.
The auxiliary cruiser Yale Was expected
to arrive here this afternoon from San
tiago, but up to o'clock this evening
she had not been reported at the Capes
1t Is almost certain that she will reach
here some time tomorrow. The casket
for the remains OF Captain A. X. Capron,
OF the Rough Riders. who was killed at
Santiago last week. has arrived here, and
now lies on a pier awaiting the return OF
the Yale. 1t is addressed to the quarter
master at Santiago.
