WILL GET NO TRAVEL PAY.
About sixty Discharged Engineers
to Receive Only Transportation.

ADOur sixty Discharged Engineers
to Receive Only transportation.
Within two or three days fifty-nine men
and nOn-commissioned officers of the bat
talon of engineers recently sent to Sa-
vannah from Montauk Point to join the
Seventh Corps, will be discharged from
the service all of them at their own re-
quest. These men are from Cincinnati,
Springfield, Indianapolis and Chicago.
BY a special order from the war depart
ment these men are to receive, besides
their regular pay due them, simply trans
portation to their homes. In almost ALI
other cases where men have been dis
charged in the same way the government
has allowed them the usual travel pay,
amounting to one days pay and commu-
tauon of rationS to the amount of 30
cents day for every twenty miles to be
travelled For some reason or other. not
known to the men, an exception has been
made in their cases, and they will be
given nothing but the bare transportation
to their homes.
Engineers receive more paw than do mon
IN the infantry and other branches of the
service, and it may be for econouov's sake
that the government has issued this sne-
cial order
Nearly all of these men went into the
army hoping to see some service during
the war, and now that all hostilities have
ceased they want to get back to their
homes and families. One soldier discharg-
ed from the battalion the other day was
gwen travel pay, and these fffty-nine men
90 not see why any exception should be
made IN their cases. 1t is looked upon as
an unjust discrimination against these
men, and some effort may be made to
have them put on the same footing with
others.

A movement of 400 soldiers from Savan-
nah to Cienfuegos will begin in about a
week. Mai. Ruthers, depot commissary
officer. has received instructions from the
chief of The commissary department at
Washington to be In readiness to have
provisions slowed aboard transports as
soon as they arrive. What transports will
be sent is not known, but it is expected
that they will be here within a few days.
As soon as they arrive the work of load
ing viii be taken up and rapidly pushed
to completion.
The troops that are to go TO Cuba are
the First Brigade of the First Division
of the First Corps. under command OF
Gen Snyder, and the Seventh Cavalry. All
of these are now at Huntsville, from
where the movement will begin in time to
get the Seventh Cavalry here in a week.
This will be the first command 20 60 The
others will follow as fast as arrangements
can be made for their departure. 1t is
thought the movements of the troops and
the transports will be so timed as to ena-
bic them to reach Savannah so that the
vessels may be put in readiness for the
troops.
Dispatches have indicated that this move
ment is TO take place at an early date, but
nothing has been said as to the point of
embarkaton. The information that has
reached Savannah is the first intimatiOn
that it Is the intention of the department
to have the commands embark from this
port Although Savannah has been chosen
as a port of embarkaton there was no
definite statement that this first general
movement upon Cuba by the army of &C.
cupation would begin from here.
There is an abundance of cOmmissary
supplies in the depot, and no trouble will
be experienced in storing the vessels with
all the troops will require. The several
storehouses of the depot are filed to over
flowing and not the slightest delay win be
experienced through having TO wait for the
necessary supplies.

INSPECTED BULL STREET.
street and Lane Committees Favor
able Report on Gravel Paving.


The street and lane committee of Coun-
ell went over the Bun street gravel paw
| ing yesterday from New Houston TO Tenth
street for the purpose of observing the
effect Of the recent heavy
rains have had on it, The
committees report to Mayor Mel
drim is that the street is in good condi-
ton, and has stood well against the Sc
we're tests TO which it has just been put by
water and heavy travel
What effect the report will have on the
dissatisfied property owners, who appoint
ed committee at a recent meeting to
draw up and present 10 Council a petition
asking that the present assessments be
reduced, is not yet apparent Mr.. Charles
r. Preudergast, chairman of this commit
tee, is the one who requested Mayor Mel
drim TO have the inspection made. In his
letter 10 the Mayor, Mr.. Prendergast sug-
gested that the recent rains
had had some effect on the
paving, and as the property
owners take the position that the work
is poor compared with the cost, he thought
il well that the members of the commit
lee view II and see for themselves.
Mayor Meldrim acted promptly on the
chairman of the street and lane commit
tee, with the suggestion that the inspec-
ton be made a once Alderman Davis
got the committee together with the ex-
cepton of Alderman Krouskof.
During the inspection particular atten-
ton was given to the smoothness of the
road, and the amount of pebbled surface
that has formed. The whole street was
gone over.
our report to the Mayor was favorable
to the paving" said Alderman Davis last
night. I'VE have contended all along that
the pebbled surface would come after the
clay washed off. This has been done, and
with few slight exceptions l have no hesi-
fancy in saying that Bun street is the best
cheap paving in America. There still re-
mains some clay. which makes the street
muddy in places, but this will all be gone
before long. Speaking for the committee,
l will say we were pleased with the paw
ing, and especially with that portion from
Second to Tenth Streets
Alderman Reid thinks the paving Is all
right. He went over it yesterday, desr-
ing to see what effect if any the rains
had had lie is also particularly pleased
with the portion from Second to Tenth
streets, and believes the property owners
in that section will be pleased when the
expected improvement comes.

BAILEY OFFERS A RESOLUTION.
Washington, March 30.-Rer-
resentative Bailey of Texas of
fe-ed a resolution recognizing
the Independence of Cuba.
Speaker Reed decides that
Bailey's Cuban resolution is not
a question of privilege. from

chair by a decided majority. In
rendering his decision, Speaker
Reed stated that the house

Spain had agreed to sell Cuba
for $2OO.OOO.OO if the United
States would guarantee the
principal and interest. Later
it was shown that the admins
tration through Speaker Reed

troll. it being feared according
to the morning papers, that
revolt had taken place among
the republican members and
that they could not be restrain
ed from committing some rash
act. The armistice plan has
been abandoned. as this coun-
try requires quicker action,
knowing that it would hurt the
business interests TO have the
uncertainty continue six
months longer. That the pres
ident has something i'll view

has requested the committee on

ARDMoRE. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 80.
Reflections of a Bachelor.


Search any married man in
March and you will find a tape
measure on him.
A man can always tell when
q girl is trying to look conscious
and embarrassed.
= No girl who is eating candy
all the time ever has the proper
appreciation Of kissing.
1t is probably lucky that men
can't have their choice between
the smallpox and house clean
ing.
The average man does not
put much stock in robins; he
waits till he hears some girl say
she must get her shirt waists
ready,
The first year a woman is
married she is sure that if her
husband were unfaithful to her
she would go mad. The sec
ond year she thinks she would
die. The third year she won
ders if she would get a divorce.
After that she never thinks
about it at all.
Man proposes; God disposes.
Woman wishes she did both.
A woman who truly loves her
husband will like to clean out
his old pipe.
There is only one excuse for
being an old bachelor and that
is nobody else's business.
The man who kicks his way
through life may not have many
friends, but he gets a-lot better
treatment from those he does
have.
A woman's ideas of a wife is
one who gives up everything to
her husband; a mans ideal of
a wife is one who gives up
everything to him.
II a blow came with every
kiss, a man would take the
blow first and then the kiss
afterward. A woman would
take the KISS first, so as to
make sure of it.-New York

BELLICOSE SPEECHES
Was the Order Of the Day In washInRton
Yesterday-The RaDIdIty Of the
Resolutions Stunned Senators.

WaSnlngton, March Z9.-li
was expected IN some quarters
today that congress would be
very lively when II o'clock
came. The result was that
thousands Of women and men
congregated at the capitol to
hear what would be said.
1t was a sight that has not
been witnessed since the days
of the French revolution, when
women sat in the galleries of
the states general and Kissed
and cried and laughed as the
speakers spoke according t.
their fancy.
Mason Of Illinois, always
coarse, but always effective, as
far as the galleries are con
cerned, made an impassioned
and effective speech.
He spoke till tears came to
the eyes, but after all there was
nothing in all he said, except
for the single declaration that
he was for war, though he
caught the crowd.
The remarks of Foraker OF
Ohio are far more significant.
Condensed they were that there
had been too much delay and
the time had come for this
country to act. Foraker and
Mckinley has never been
friends. The rising of the for
mer on the floor today, with his
cold. incisive remarks on the
situation. did not stir the gal
leries, but every senator knew
what it meant. 1t was a decla
ration of war on the admins
tration on his part. If the ad
ministration did not resolve on
war it meant that there is a
wing of the republican party
which can stand shufling and
lodging no longer.
Allen, the populist. also in
troduced a resolution declaring
for the independence of Cuba.
Frye of Maine also introduced
a resolution which might mean
war, for it means the indepen-
dence of Cuba.
The democrats seem to try
lying low and still. Having
been buncoed Oh the $50,OOO,0O0
appropriation for national de-
fenses, they are now waiting
for an opportunity of getting
even.
The resolutions were all, ex-
cept Mr.. Aliens. referred to

tions.-W. G.. S. in Dallas
