A Washington correspondent states
that the large number OF reflections OF
volunteers has caused much comment
in the army medical corps. However,
the physicians who have conducted the
examinations say that outside the
ranks OF cigarette smokers there are
even fewer reflections than there were
habitual users OF cigarettes the re-
jections are about 90 per cent. DR..
Benjamin King of Philadelphia, who
acted as an examining surgeon during
1s51-63 in New York. Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana. says that the aver
age reflections during those years did
not exceed 13 per cent. He attributes
the large increase almost entirely to
the cigarette habit. and says: Il have
been inspecting the papers in number
OF cases under the present recruiting
act, and observe the most of the men
who failed to pass the medical exam
ination have weak hearts or lack the
vitality necessary to make good sol
diers. had expected that the percent
age Of reflections would be greater now
than in 1861. but did not dream II
would be almost three times as great
The examining physicians with whom
I have talked have generally told me
the excess of reflections is due to the
large number Of young men applying
for enlistment who have become VIC
tims Of the cigarette habit.

THE REVENUE BILL.
There Il = big Job Ahead for the Bureau
of Infcrnal Revenue.

Washington. June 10.-The Bureau
OF Internal Revenue is now busily en-
gagged in preparations for the enforce
ment of the war revenue bill. Nearly
the entire work involved Will fall upon
the internal revenue service. the ex-
ceptions being the bond issue and the
coinage Of the silver In the treasury.
The increased tax upon beer that has
been removed from the brewery prem
ises and stored will be collected by
assessment. as will also the additional
tax Of 3 cents per pound imposed on
stocks Of tobacco outside of factory
premises, and the additional tax on
cigars and cigarettes, where such
stocks OF tobacco, snuff, cigars and ci-
garettes are in excess OF the exempted
qualities, that Is to say 1000 pounds
Of manufactured tobacco and snuff,
and 10000 cigars and cigarettes.
While the collection Of the above.
taxes by assessment, instead Of the
affixing Of additional stamps will
greatly simplify the work In this con-
nection, yet there are many blanks to
be prepared, printed and distributed
within the thirty days allowed In
which those interested are required to
make returns upon their stocks ON
hand.

LANDING THAT FAILED.
Wanderer Expedition Met by Too
Many Mausers-Six Men wounded.

KEY WEST, FLA, July N.--9:S0 A.
M-News reached here to-day of the at
tempted landing on the shore of Cuba OF
large expedition. men and arms. by the
steamer wanderer. which left Key West
about a week ago. Banes. west OF Ha-
bana, was the point selected for debarfa-
ton, but arriving there the expedition
was confronted by a body Of cavalry,
numbering thousand. or more, and a
sharp engagement ensued.
The Wanderer was to have been met by
a party of Cubans, who had evidently
been dispersed by the Spanish forces be-
fore the arrival of the steamer.
The Wanderer. which was not under
convoy. drew up about four hundred
yards from the shore, and began dis
charging her cargo by means OF small
boats. AT first there was no sign OF re-
sistance, and portion OF the supplies
had already been placed on the beach
when vigorous rifie-fire was opened on
the members Of the expedition. from a
wooded growth lining the beach, and q
I force Of Spanish cavairymen burst into
view.
sHARPsHOOTLNG.
There were about twoscore sharp
shooters with the expedition. and they
attempted to cover the retreat by lying
fiat and returning the Spaniards' fire.
They picked of a number of the cavalry
men, and as the opposing force backed to
the woods the Wanderers men got
the boats off, but not before William
Davis, mate; William Ross, seaman;
Benito Sabata, Gabriel Alvarez. Felix
Lopez. and Rotol1 Garcia had been
slightly wounded.
After the Wanderers men had gotten
away the Spaniards pushed down to the
beach and resumed their fire, peppering
the hull Of the Wanderer with Mauser
bullets, but infiicting no further damage.
The gunboat Vicksburg returned here
this morning after having been thirty
eight days on the blockade. She reports
that on Tuesday last. while two miles on
shore west of Habana, the Vedado bat
terry and a battery recently erected fred
three shots each at her. The shells fell
close to the ship. and she quickly got out

motorman whose car killed two men. Hia
own son was recently hurt in a railroad
accident, and II Is thought these things
have weighed unduly on his mind. The
killing OF the two men was purely acct
dental, no one attaching the least blame
to Mr.. Adams. But the thought Of his
being the instrument by which. even in
directly, two fellow-creatures have been
sent to their long home seemed always
present with him.
