TO HOUSE HOSPITAL SUPPLIES.
savannah Bakery Building Leased
10 the Government.

The hospital department Of the Seventh
Corps has leased the big building Of the
Savannah Steam Bakery Company. at
Barnard and Bay streets. 1t viii be occu-
pied by Nov. !. as a supply depot for the
regiments of the corps.
The bakery company building has been
advertised for sometime to be sold Nov.
l az public outcry at the court house.
Mr.. I. G. Haas said yesterday that
the lease of the building TO the govern
ment will not interfere with the sale,
which viii proceed as advertised. An off,
Ger of the company will have a perfect
right to take part in the bidding, but the
sale will be bona fde and that the prop
erty will go to the highest bidder
The officers of the company regard the
value Of the building as considerably en-
HANGED now that there is a tenant and a
good one at that Mr.. Haas says very
good rental is to be paid by the govern
ment for the use of the building during
the time the corps is in Savannah. How
long this will be is not known, but it is
not unlikely that the building may be used

have left for Cuba 1t will be necessary
to send supplies for the hospitals to the
new possessions in the West Indies, and
these, as we'll as other supplies. will prob
ably be sent from this port AS with
these other supplies, a storehouse will be
necessary for them.
The building is not at present occupied.
There will be little for the company to
do in the way of repairs before the hos
pital department takes charge, though but
little time will be necessary to complete
them.
Mr. Haas was surprised to learn that as
much space as the building affords is
needed for storing medical supplies. There
are three floors and the basement, all
measuring 60 by 80 feet There is small
reservation for a candy store on the first
floor, but all the rest of the building goes
to the government. There are no parti-
tons on the floors, and a fine place for
storage purposes is thus afforded.
The deal between the company and the
government was made by Mr. Haas and
Maj. James Z. Pitcher of the medical de-
partment of the corps. An offer was made
by the company and presented by Mai.
Pitcher TO Col NJ S. Maus, chief sur
geon of the Seventh Corps. Col. Maus
wrote an acceptance of the offer
Mai. Pitcher win be in charge of the
storehouse. He will have a force of two
hospital stewards and four clerks under
him, if the same number is deemed neces-
sary here as was had at Jacksonville.
Each regiment viii make acquisitions upon
the eupply house five days of the week
being set apart for the issuance of the sup
plies. Some medical officer of the resi-
ment will present the requisition.
There will be quite an assortment of
things stored in the building. The sup
plies OF the medical department consist
of drugs and medicines, cots, stretchers,
field furniture, field operating tables, cots,
bedding, towels and a number of other
things. One of the surgeons said last night
that great quantity of supplies must
be on hand for a corps, and that the space
in the building win be necessary.

col. BRYAN's ILLNESS.
Much Better Yesterday But Still
Confined to His Room.

Col. William J. Bryan, who is confined
TO his room at the De Soto, was consid-
erably better yesterday, though he still
had fever.
When seen yesterday Col Bryan said
simply that he felt considerably better and
hoped to be able to be with his regiment
again by the middle of next week. He
has been attended by his regimental ply
stefan, Maj Grothan, and has been stead
lily improving.
Col Bryan said he did not care TO be
interviewed on any subject, and especially
not on politics, as he had nothing TO say
There are many people in Savannah who
will be glad to learn that his condition is
not serious and that he will probably be
out within a few days. 1t was reported
Yesterday that Col. Bryan had had slight
attack of typhoid fever. but he did not
appear to have suffered greatly as the
result of it, though he has evidently been
a sick man. Col. Bryan is a splendid SOL
der and he loves TO be with his men. His
sickness at this time Is great misfor-
tune not alone to himself but to them as
well. His next officer in command, Lieut..
Col. Victor Vifquain, has just gone home
on a thirty days leave OF absence on ac-
count of sickness, and the regiment Is IN
command of Maj. John II. McClay'

TO INSURE THE ADULA.
The Prize Now In New York Await
ing Action by the Court.


Deputy Marshal Charles J. White re-
ceived a telegram yesterday from Marshal
John NJ Barnes, instructing him to renew
the insurance on the prize steamship
Adula, which is now lying at Thompklns-
vile, in New York harbor awaiting the
direction of the court
The Adula was insured for her voyage
to New York at cost of $3.50. That in
surance has now expired, and Capt. White
expects to take out port insurance on the
vessel at once. The Adula is in the Gus
tody of w. r. Merriheld, who went on her
from Savannah as her first officer, and
with whom she was left by Marshal
Barnes.
The court has had considerable diff
Guilty in disposing of the little British
steamship, owing to the fact that the up
set price. $50, 600, was too high for pros
pective bidders. Judge Speer will be in
Savannah probably next month, and will
then no doubt take some steps to dispose
of her as promptly as possible. The
chances are that she will be offered at
public cutlery without any minimum price
being set, the bid being subject to APP
prevail by the court. The prize commits
soners, other court officials interested,
and those who have claims against the
Adula, have had a long wait for their
money, but they are at least sure of it
in the end, whenever that comes.

"ADMIRAL DEWEY" DEAD.
Pneumonia Carries or the Star of
Patriotic Celebrations.

HneumOn1a carries On the star OF
Patriotic Celebrations.
admiral Dewey" breathed his last yes
terday morning after brief illness. He
had suffered but few days from asthma,
followed by pneumonia. Careful nursing
was of no avail. The remains may be
stuffed to preserve them for the admiTa-
ton of future generations.
admiral Dewey was no ordinary bird.
He was imbued with patriotism from the
tip of his claws TO the crest of the feath
ers that adorned his fat-topped head. His
proud position as the sole American eagle
in Savannah was not lost upon him. On
ordinary occasions he was as gentle as
canary, but on holidays the spirit of the
hour always took possession of him and
he became the bold bird of freedom. With
plumes erect, shrieking defiance, he had
for seven years been the central figure
al Fourth of July celebrations at Mr..
John Rourke's foundry. The noise of the
cannon. The smell of the powder, the tu-
multi of the crowd, these were as music
in "Dewey's" ears. Every urch.n in the
"Fort" knew the bird, and there were few
of the grown folks who had not praised
it's patriotic fervor. At one time he per-
petuated the name and fame of John Han
cock, but when the glorious news came
from Manila he was rechristened after
the hero of the navy. He took TO the new
name as readily as he had taken to his
new quarters when bought by Mr.. Rourke
from the sailors on a schooner. In a few
days he refused TO recognize the old title.
Every effort was made to save Dew
eys' life. He seemed gratifed at the at
tentions paid him. Just before he died
Mr. Rourke petted the bird on the head
for a few minutes. Dewey, old boy,
you're going to leave u.s. said he. TOO
bad too bad"
Dewey" looked up, made a feeble effort
to rise, gave a faint shrek of farewell,
and with one desperate futter of his wings
passed away.

Lord Kitchener is engaged to be
married to Miss Marie Evelyn Moreton,
whose father was private secretary to
the Marquis Of Lorne during his stay
in Canada. The wedding is expected to
take place shortly, and every is
wondering if the bridegroom will re-
of the Egyptian army, in view of the
fact that he made and has always
maintained a very strict rule that the
English officers of that army should
not be married men. Besides, Miss
Moreton brings a fortune to her hus-
band, which, with his high rank, makes
a return to Egypt less attractive than
it might otherwise be.
