Baltimore, June 20. The Baltimore
Storage and Lighterage Company, OPP
Grating the Atlantic Transport line, to-
day sold to the United States Govern
ment seven vessels for $4,OO0,000 The
vessels are to be used as transport and
supply ships. They are the Mohawk,
Mobile, Massachusetts, Manitoba, Min
newaska Michigan. Mississippi.
Each of these seven vessels has
refrigerating capacity of 1000 tons Of
fresh meat and an additional capacity
for 900 head Of cattle or horses. The
fact that these vessels have a refriger-
ating capacity Of over 100000 pounds
of fresh meat was, no doubt, an i'm
portant consideration in determining
the action of the officials in buying
them The commissary's department
is anxious to furnish fresh beef to the
soldiers in the West Indies as far as
practicable, and with such large
steamers available for the purpose
they will be enabled to put their wish
es into effect.
For the uses Of the Commissary De-
partment exclusively, General Eagan
| is having inspected two ships which
are now at New York. They are the
Port Victor and the Port Chalmer,
both over 5000 tons with ample storage
capacity for refrigerated beef. The
! probability is that three vessels will be
necessary soon, and then frequent trips
with large cargoes Of beef and other
supplies aboard viii be ordered to San
tiago and other places. General Eagan
has been waiting on this matter before
awarding the contracts for supplying
the beef which he now expects TO make
in a few days.
For the Philippine expedition the De-
partment has purchased a large
steamer, which is to be delivered NJ
San Francisco. Its capacity is a regl-
ment of soldiers with their equipments
and supplies. The officials withhold
for the present the name Of the steam

Key West, June 29.-The commission
from Gen. Gomez and the civil Gov
eminent of Cuba which arrived here
Sunday night, numbers seven men. They
left the seat of the Cuban Government.
EsperGnza plantation, forty miles north
of Puerto Principe. on June is, to make
their way to this country The party
consists of Moreno de la Tore, Cuban
Secretary Of Foreign Affairs; Capt.
Mora Esquibel, Lieut.. Rios and four
pr.vates. The Cuban Secretary has
gone On to Tampa.
They say the civil Government has
been at Esperan2a plantation three or
four weeks, moving there from Sebas-
tobal. All the officials are there ok
copl the Nice-President. The camp
consists of seventy matched huts and
is guarded by $50 soldiers There are in
Puerto Principe province about 5000
armed and loo unarmed soldiers. The
Spaniards have about 10000 men there.
OF these about 5000 are in the city Of
Puerto Pinciue and the rest are in
Nuevitas and Il few coast towns. The
Cubans hold the country. Every move
ment Of the SIlniards Is known to
them, so the civl Government requires
only a small force in its immediate
nelghborhood. The railroad between
Nuevitas and Puerto Principe is rum
ming heavily guarded by Spanlards, so
the enemy in the towns do not lack
food. A. times columns sally out Of
Puerto Principe raiding for cattle.
on the other hand, the Cubans are
threatened with famine in a few
months if aid does not reach them.
Not much food is being raised in the
| country and the cattle are giving out.
1t is believed the country has sufficient
cattle for three months. The Cuban
soldiers live principally on plantains
and other fruits.
on June a Spanish column Of about
125 men sailed forth from Puerto Prin-
cipe and raided for cattle for six days
The Cubans, 500 strong, under Col.
Lopez Recid, harrassed them.
on June 16 the Spanards discovered
a Cuban camp and attacked 1t. hot
fight followed, the Cubans inficting
heavy loss on the enemy. The Span
iards were seen carrying sixty-tive
wounded men into the city. Ter
graves were found, each containing the
bodies of six or seven Spaniards The
| Cuban loss was nine killed and thirty
two wounded
The Cubans in the province need am
munition badly, then arms. After thai
| they ask for food apd clothing.

Col Leonard Wood and Lieut.. Col.
Roosevelt led the charge with grea;
bravery. They scorned to hide them
selves in the grass or underbrush as
the enemy did, and ultimately they

The caterpillars which have made such
havoc among fruit and shade trees are
now nearly or quite full grown and are
beginning to form cocoons in which they
are dormant for few days and then
emerge as small gray butterflies to lay
eggs for next years crop of worms.
Every female caterpillar destroyed while
in this form means from 400 to 1000 less
worms next year. The cocoons are
formed wherever the caterpillars can
find a reasonably dry spot. Along the
underpinning of houses, in the crevices
of coarse parked trees, in walls and piles
of wood and lumber and all similar
places they may be found, though for a
short time only, as the change of form is
very rapid. The cocoOns can be gather
ed by hand as they are dry and reason
ably clean to the touch and burned in a
common stove or with the use of a little
kerosene. There is talk of petitionng
the city council to hire men to 90 around
and destroy as many as possible and
especially on the state house porch and
other public grounds.-Montpelier

An American Girls snapshot at the Gar.
Miss Lillian Bell of Chicago is the
first and only American girl who has
been permitted to make photograph of
the Gar of Russia. She went to st.
Petersburg a few weeks ago on sight
seeing tour for the Ladies Home Jour
nal, but was informed by her friends
that her visit was untimely; that nearly
every great show-place in the empire
was closed to visitors at that season.
With winsome determination and energy,
characteristic of the American girl, she
set about to remove the obstacles that
beset her path as sightseer, and 10
short time every door was opened to her.
Even the great White Gar of all the Rus
sias bowed acquiescence to her I'M
usual request to be permitted to make a
photograph of him, and paused an ms
tant before her camera as he passed in
procession the spot where the fair
Chicagoan with her camera awaited to
take snapshot. Miss Bell tells of her
famous exploit In the July journal.

The Last Of the Trading Stamps,

Although convinced Of the righteousness
CT the decision rendered by the District
court of appeals in the trading stamps
case and Of the practical certainty of its
being upheld by the higher court if an ap-
peal were taken, the business men of Wash
ington will nevertheless feel gratified at the
wise determination Of the defendants in
that case to abide by the ruling already
given and to abandon their project of car
rying the case to the Supreme Court of the
United States. The matter is now settled
for all time as long as the law stands as at
present regarding gift enterprises and
similar schemes for the unwholesome fos-
te ring of trade.
Since the stamp scheme was ruled out of
the District other communities not so
highly favored by their legislatures with
anti-gift enterprise statutes have been en-
couraged to hope that they might find a
way to cast off this commercial old man of
the sea that has fastened itself upon the
backs Of SO many cities and towns Those
cities hailed the decision of the District
court with joy but 1t was of no immediate
avail to them inasmuch as it was based
upon local law. 1t showed the way, how
ever. out Of the wilderness of red, green
and blue stamps into the realm Of whole
some competition and already steps have
been taken In several places to secure the
enactment Of similar laws which will ac-
compltsh this result. In Massachusetts, and
Connecticut the stamp scheme Is beeing as
sailed on the basis of the anti-lottery law
but results have not yet been secured.
