Washington, Dec. %. 3.--Information
has reached the administration that the
local governments in Cuba

The following order has been sent by
the secretary of war to commanding

to two members, Chief of Engineers
General John M. Wilson and Colonel

commission of the Y. M. c. A., distribut-
ing tracts and other things in southern
camps. He said those camps, as rule,
We're in good condition, but he noticed
the confusion in railway arrangements
at Tampa. There was an inundation
of beer at one colored camp there, and a
plague of flies on his second visit to
Mobile. The odors of Camp Thomas
during July We're repulsive. He had
suggested chloride of lime to General
Brooke, who received the suggestion IA
vorably and distributed 80 barrels Of

cellent work. Regarding General Lees
command at Jacksonville, General
Howard said he had not believed be-
fore that it was possible for a camp to
be kept in so fine a condition.

reported negotiations for an extradi-

and Mexico. Unless steps are taken
looking speedily to replacement Of the
present treaty, which is about to ex-
pire, conditions will be very grave on
the border. Minister Clayton was EN-
