The seventy-First New York.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Secretary Alger
said to-day that the information reaching
him showed there were eXtenuating circum-
stances in the case of those troops of the
Seventy-frst New York Regiment, accused
in General KentS report of not advancing
promptly to the attack on Santiago. Men
returning from Santiago told the secretary
the irregularty occurred amid the noise and
confusion of the opening of the engage
ment, when the enemy was directing
heavy fire against this point of our lines,
and a number of our troops carried black
powder guns instead of the more serviceable
krag-Jorgensen. While the secretary does
not seek to justify the regiment yet he
feels that they are entitled to have their
course viewed in the light of all the adverse
circumstances which operated against them
at the time of the battle. Speaking of the
Porto Rico campaign, the secretary said
that the entire force there would be sup
piled with Krag-Jorgensen guns, or else
smokeless powder to use in such few
Sprinsfelds as might be carried in connec-
ton with the Krag-Jorgensens. The pur-
pose, however, is to arm the active troops
rapidly as possible with the high class
modern arm,

spirits Named the Ticket.

ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. 6.-There was
general surprise all over the State this
state convention yesterday the old officers
had reelected the old officers to manage
the affairs of the Indiana Association of
SpirltualiStS another year. The secret
leaked out to-day. The night before the
convention, it is claimed, the spirit of the
her death last fall was vice president, ma
terialized and advised delegates to vote for
the old officers. stating that she foresaw
threatened disruption ahead, and that old
and wise and experienced heads should be
in charge of affairs. The states had been
arranged differently for the election, but
this advice from the spirit land was taken
and the old officers were voted in again.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Trade Quite Satisfactory for August,
with Steady Prices.

WIN SteHuy HrIceS.
1t is exaggeration to say that trade last
week for the first week of August was highly
satisfactory. Dry goods merchants say they did
25 per cent. at least more business the past week
than done in the first week of August last
year. Grocers say their business far exceeded
that of any former year in the corresponding week
and in several other lines much the same report
is given. AS to prices there very slight
changes in the entire week and those on
articles that fuctuate largely with the supply,
such as fruits and vegetables. Hog products,
poultry. eggs, butter. cheese and articles that
come into daily consumption rule unusually
steady. Apples and lemons are in active request
and very drm at quotations 1t is difficult to get
a good apple. Oranges practically off the
market. Staple groceries rule firm and steady.
except syrups and molasses. Canned goods are in
better shape as to prices. The leather market is
active and prices steady. The hide market is
active and prices unchanged.
The local grain market not as active the
last week as in the previous week on account of
the lighter receipts. The week closed with prices
on track firm at the following range. furnished

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The dry goods market
during the week has developed improved de-
mand in many quarters for spot business. The
number of buyers in the city has steadily in
creased during the week and the amount of bust
ness transacted in store has increased in like
proportion. The sales are making a better daily
average, although in detail they have not changed
materially. Print cloths are weaker than they
were at the opening of the week. Extras at &c
were sold for October and November delivery yes
terday in sufficient quantities to bring the weeks
sales up to point in excess of the weeks pro-
auctions. Odd goods quiet in nearly all grades
and are not too firm. The cu~tailment problem is
still unsettled.
