cations for the discharge of enlisted men in

Department They come from fathers and
mothers, wives and friends, all of whom are
bringing every possible element of influ-
ence to bear to have their requests granted.
Senators and representatives have urged
their requests upon the department and

time and patience in investigating the cases
brought to their attention. In order that a
clear understanding may be had by the
public concerning the matter of discharges
from the army, Assistant Secretary of War

slreS 1t to be understood distinctly that all
such applications must be made to the War
Department through the regular military
channels. Satisfactory evidence that an en-
listed man IS under eighteen years of age

pllcauon, but enlisted men between the
ages of eighteen and forty-five will be re-
CURED to present perfectly satisfactory rea-
sons Tor the discharges for which they may
ask Ihe decision of Assistant Secretary
Meikeljohn is embodied in the following

MANILA TWINE SCARCE.
Farmers Need 100. ZOO. 900 Pounds, and
Must Pay Double Price.

NEW YORK. July 5-Admiral Dewey's
blockade of the Philippines threatens TO
create a cordage dearth throughout the
civilized world. 1t has doubled the price
OF Manila rope and Irvine in this country,
and by doubling the value of Manila hemp
has made fortunes for manufacturers who
haG large stock in reserve The John Good
Cordage and Machine Company. which was
forced into the hands of a receiver several
months ago, was among the concerns which
held a reserve stock of the hemp, and steps
are being taken to reorganze the company
on a solid financial basis. John Good, of
cordage fame, discussed the situation at
the machine works. Park and Washington
avenues, Brooklyn. 1T will require" he
said about 10000. 900 pounds of Manila
Irvine to bind this year's wheat crop in the
United States. From the closest estimates
we can make we find the present supply Of
Manila hemp outside of the Philippine ISL
ands will be exhausted in three months, As
considerable time is required to transport
the hemp from Manila to this country. we
will have to arrange matters soon or the
cordage manufacturers will find themselves
without any raw material. In that event
the great Western wheat farms would soon
have no binding material 10 use on their
reapers and might be forced back to the
sheaves with straw. This would be ire
mendous task in the fields. which cover
miles upon miles of territory and might re-
suit in the loss of much of the grain through
exposure to the weather. Sisal Irvine,
material which is supplied from Mexico
might be substituted in the reapers for
the Manila. but the supply of that is linn
tied and would certainly not be sufficient
to meet the demand.
You may gain some idea of the immensi-
ty of the demand when l tell you that the
150OOOO00 pounds of Irvine required this
year by the farmers would contain
90 O00 600 coo lineal feet and would cost them

To Bring Back the Wounded.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The Post to-
morrow will say: There has been some
question as to the delay in sending back
the transports that are at Santiago. Their
failure TO return is explained by the fact
that they are held to bring back the
wounded. The present programme is to
place the injured men upon these transports
and bring them to this country Fort Mon
roe Will be their destination. This military
reservation at the entrance to Chesapeake
pay Will be turned into military hospital.
It is admirably located for this purpose 1t
Is so far north as to be removed from the
objections which attach to Florida points
on account of heat, and there is ample
accommodation for ali the wounded men
The transports will also be used to convey
the thousands of prisoners already cap
tured. These will be taken to Fort McPher-
son, near Atlanta, and will be held until
the close of the war. The feeding of these
prisoners, as we'll as the starving people of
Santiago, has been fully provided for in
the arrangements made by the subsistence
