to lack OF water supply it was with great
difficulty that the other and more valuable
property was saved.

HE HAS GONE FOR CUBAN RELICS
Beckwith Will Make Collection for
the Smithsonian Institution

Mr.. Paul Beckwith has been sent to Cuba
by Secretary Langley of the Smithsonian
institution. He left New York city on tho
OLDHAM for the island Monday last, and is
specially commissioned TO obtain, by pur-
chase or donation, relics and exhibits illus
trating every phase of the recent Spanish
American war. He will be gone six weeks
at least, and probably will extend his mis-
sion to Porto Rico. He is plentifully sup
piled with government funds, appropriated
by congress for the use of the institution
in the purchase or collection of such ex-
hibits.
Mr.. Beckwith, in the absence from the
city of William II. Holmes, the head GU
rator of the department of anthropology,
has been engaged for some time in com
pleting and perfecting the exhibits in the
hall of American history in the National
museum. Curator Holmes has had arranged
glass cases in this hall, the one leading
from the north door of the museum con
tanning relics of all the American wars
from the earliest days TO the present. The
collection is more or less imperfect, but
still very instructive and entertaining. De-
string to obtain a perfect assortment of ar
ticles and souvenirs, historic and otherwise,
OF the war with Spain, Mr.. Holmes and
Mr.. Beckwith have solicited and purchased
already quite number which have been
given the place OF honor around the model
of Liberty in the museum S rotunda.

ARMY EXPENSES
More Men Are Needed to Pay Out
MOney


WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The annual
report Of Paymaster General r. H. Stanton
OF the army shows an expenditure of $685.
499,969 an increase of $2,326,SO4 compared
with last year.
Gen. Stanton says that the rapid increase
OF the army gave rise to many questions as
to the law governing payments to volunteers
which the department has endeavored to
adjust satisfactorily. The mastering out
and scattering of troops has imposed addi-
tional work upon the pay department. He
recommends an increase in the regular force
OF the pay corps, saying:
Il earnestly recommend that to the recu-
lar pay corps of the army there be added
three assistant paymaster generals and
twenty majors and paymasters; the promo
tions to colonel and lieutenant colonel to be
made from the officers now in the pay de-
partment according to seniority and upon
the mastering out OF the volunteers forces
and the reduction of the regular army to the
basis prior to the act of April 26 1885, no
appointments shall be made in the pay de-
partment until the number of officers in
each grade shall be reduced to the number
authorized prior to the date of the act above
mentioned"

a card attached which states that it was
used for eXpelling smoke from the United
States steamship Massachusetts during the
destruction of Cervera's fleet off Santiago
in July last. It's usefulness was ended by
a stray piece of iron from burst shell
sent by the fleeing Spaniards.
Fighting Bob Evans has given to the
museum a battered plate from the partition
OF the Iowa's chain locker. 1t was perfor-
ated by shell from the Cristobal Colon as
she emerged from the waters opposite Moro
castle on the memorable morning when the
enemy's ships were wiped out. At its side
is a plate similarly misshapen and pune
tured. 1t was taken from the Window,
which was raked by Spanish land guns IN
ambush May llth last. The plate was de-
stroyed by a shriekng shell from the shore
about the time brave Bagley was blown to
frightful death standing on the deck of the
vessel. A folded yellow flag, the emblem
Of Spain, bearing the well-lnown coat of
arms, is in one case. 1t waved above the
trenches around Santiago until hauled
down by the victorious Americans. With

Wire cutter used by the intrepid boys in

interesting is a huge battle axe, one of four

work of the head of condemned Spaniard
or a captured Cuban.

IN THE CABINET
No Doubt Is Felt of Spain's Ultimate
Action

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-This after.
noon when the Cabinet adjourned nothing
had been received from Paris indicating
what would be the Spanish reply to the lat
est memorandum OF the American commits
sloners. No one in high official, circles, how
ever, doubts that the Spanards ultimately
will sign treaty, although it is in some quart.
ers thought that a demand may be made
for an increase in the amount Of the cash
payment named by the American commits
sioners Reports from Cuba are to the ef-
feet that the Spaniards are expediting the
work of evacuation, and it is expected that
he American army will take formal posses
sion some days earlier than January |, the
date originally set. Troops will be landed at
Mariel, a town about 80 miles west of Ha-
vana, about December Is.
The President is devoting all his spare time
to the preparation of his message to Con-
gress Minor matters will be considered only
briefly, and by far the larger share of the
message will be devoted to the great cues
tions which have been raised by the war.
Sections of the message have been gone over s
by the President with the members of the
Cabinet to whose departments they particu-
llarly relate, and the indications now ire that
the message will exceed in length any sent
to Congress during tho last several years.

REPORT ON INSPECTION
OF. AMERICAN MEAT INTENDED
FOR EXPORT
American Children Must Not Lick the
Paint Off German Monkeys Climb
ing Up Their Painted Sticks

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Dr. d. F. Sal,
mon, chief of the bureau OF animal industry
In his report to the secretary of agriculture
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1898,
states that during the year meat inspection
was in operation at 1876 abattoirs, as against
| 1913 for the previous year, ard in 35 cities as
against 33 in 1897. The number of animals
inspected before slaughter numbered 81
335,39S. AT the time OF slaughter, 81, ,ll6 ,S3G
animals were inspected and 63,G62 were re-
jected; 9l,50S carcasses and As, lS9 parts of
carcasses were condemned.
In connection with the examination of
imports from Germany it was found that
German toys and colored goods were poison
Gus and all highly painted German toys may
be regarded as very dangerous to children
who may suck off the paint or swallow the
pieces that may be Clipped off.
The division of pathology has continued
the experiment of dipping cattle with view
to destroying the ticks which spread the in
lection OF Texas fever, and a substance has
been found in which the cattle may be i'm
mersed without suffering any serious injury
and which will destroy all the ticks on ami.
mails in a single dipping.
In making recommendations for the fiscal
year ending June 30 1900 Dr. Salmon asks
that sufficient appropriation for extend
ing and developing foreign markets fol
dairy products of the United States be made
and that legislation be sought by which
| the existing system of government inspection
and classification of meats and meat pro
ducts for export from the United States may
be extended with suitable notifications
