DEFENSES OF CHARLESTON, s. C.

Charleston, S. C., March 1.-The orders issued yesterday by General Miles to transfer regimental headquar- ters from St. Augustine. Fla, to Sul- i 1ivan's Island in the Charleston har- bor, is considered here to be a pre- cautionary measure, and the addi- tional troops to come are skilled ar tillerists who can easily man the big guns. There is already a garrison of eighty men on the island.
 Work on the big forts is progressing rapidly, and the men in Battery c and Battery M have gotten ahead very we'll with the mounting of the heavy guns. In the mortar battery on the front beach, overlooking the entrance to Charleston barbor, eight 12-inch nor tars are mounted and ready for use. There are eight more to be placed in this battery, and second battery fur ther down the beach is to have several mortars.
 In the fort near Fort Moultrie two 12-inch rifled guns have been mounted on disappearing carriages, and they can do effective work On anything within ten or twelve miles range. Four 12-inch, four S-inch and two more 1O-inch guns are to be placed, and a number of rapid-fire guns will also be put in position to cover the beach in case of land attack. In all, the is land batteries will mount forty-odd guns. A large quantity of ammuni tion for the big guns and mortars has been ordered here. The magazines in the new forts are ready for the re- ception of the powder and the projec- tiles. There is some ammunition now in the magazines.
 The work of completing the fortif1- cations is being rushed ahead with all possible speed. Day and night forces are employed, and the work goes on as usual on Sundays. Efforts are being made to get all the forts in fighting trim at once and orders to that effect have been sent here from Washington.

SCALE FOR COAL MINING.

Terre Haute, Ind, March 1.-The action of the joint conference of min CTS and operators of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania in signing scale for the year beginning April i brings uniformity in the com petitive field such as never before ex- isted, even in the days of the old in terstate association, which went to pieces in 1886.
 On all sides it is expected that sev- eral weeks idleness will ensue after April 1. It will not be in the nature of 2 strike, but will be a suspension to enable the operators to dispose of the large stock on hand at the old selling price at which much of the coal was contracted for, and by this means avoid putting on the market the coal mined at a greater cost.
 The new price for mining will be 66 cents ton, which is 10 cents more than is now being paid in Ohio and Indiana. In Illinois the new price will be 40 cents for coal weighed as it comes from the mine, which is equiv- alent to 66 cents for the screened pro duct. Ia Pennsylvania the price will be 66 cents, the same as in Ohio and Indiana, and while it is not an advance of 10 cents in the price It. will be an

AN UNCLEAN FEAST.
Residents of North Fifth Avenue De
 vour a Burro.

There is feeling of nausea and un- rest on North Fifth avenue which is threatening to break into a storm upon the head of Billy Cook, resi- dent of that vicinity. A couple of days ago MT. Cook returned from his cattle range on Upper New River. He brought back with him lot of fresh meat, the choice part of what was sup posed to be a bear. Nobody remem- bers that MT. Cook said in so many words that it was bear, but the hide which was carelessly wrapped was thrown down on the porch. The neighbors came in to look at It. One woman touched it with the toe of her shoe and said, "A sllver-tlp; must have been a young one, not more than half grown She got her idea of the dimensions of the bear from one of the quarters which lay on a table near by. Other women and some men all felt of the fur and agreed that 1t was "silver-tip'' It was not known that there were any silver-tips in that part of the country, and what was more inexplicable, what was the bear monkeying around in the foothills for at this season of the year? But the bear was evidently a young one, and a half grown cub, brute or human may be expected to be in unexpected places and do unexpected things.
 MT Cook made a generous distribu- tion of the bear. All the neighbors had some of it for supper and the Cook family ate a great deal Of It, though none of the other members Of the family can remember whether MT. Cook ate any or not He saw several of his neighbors that night and they said the bear was delicious; they had never tasted any cub meat before, but it was to a full grown bear what the sucking pig is to the mature hog. II Mr. Cook had been running Tor coun- cilman and the election had taken place that night Hr. Cook would have had the solid support of every partlcl- pant in the youthful silver-tip.
 The next morning the neighbors saw the cubs hide hanging on a fence They went to see what it looked like when it was spread out; they had only seen it punched up. There were sev- eral things about it which disturbed their preconceived ideas of bear skin Nobody had ever seen a bear with ears a foot and a half long. A bear with a mealy nose was an innovation and a bear with hoofs was a rude shock. MT. Cook had gone down town and has not been back in the daytime since. He sent word into the neigh borhood that it was burro, put the exact circumstances of it's death are not known. The burro is doubly un- clean animal according to scriptures, for ''It divideth not the hoof nor chew eth the cud" But for that matter, neither does the bear. So if the neighbors knew for sure that this burro was killed in good health. they would not care so much, but there is a preponderance of belief that Mir Cook nor any other man would kill a healthy burro in cold blood for food. They fear that this animal died nat ural and peaceful death. Hence the nausea, unrest and threatening storm. Popular as MT. Cook was on the night of the feast, he could not now be elected dog catcher by the votes of his neighborhood.

the resolutions. They constitute a sober appeal to the land office, which will probably be needed if the com missioner can reconcile such a ruling with the law after further considera- tion of the case, and though all or even a majority of the citizens of the Salt River valley did not turn out at the Gazette's mass meeting, no doubt great majority of them would en- dorse the resolutions. The mass meet ing would also have been bigger if it had been gotten up under different auspices. It is a noteworthy fact and one. however, which casts no discredit upon those who did attend, that not a man was present who makes his liv- ing by cutting wood. The only wood dealer there was MT. Snowgrass. and his interest in the business of the Phoenix Wood and Coal company is not proprietary.

AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE.

Although the new city council of Camden, N. J., opened with the mem bers reciting together the Lord s Prayer, it was not many minutes be- fore the council chamber was the scene of free fight. Varney, the outgoing city clerk, refused to resign his place to the newly appointed man, and was thrown bodily out of the room, strik- ing on his head outside the door. Then as an attempt was being made to swear in the reform mayor, Cooper B. Hatch, the councilmen engaged in a small riot. The reformers are in the majority, but legal fights 'are ex- pected.

 The Indiana block coal miners. whose field is a distinctive one and has always had a mining price different from other soft coal fields, will receive 76 cents a ton, thereby restoring the old differential of 10 cents which ob- tained until a few years ago.
 It is provided in the signed contract that there shall be a joint conference next January to discuss the results of the first experience under the inter- state plan and to remedy any faults that shall have been found in it, to the tnd that the scale for another year from April 1 following may be adopted in ample time.

During the Present Con-
niot la CubN.

WASHINGTON, March 10 - Seventy
thousand men is the number Of Span
ish soldiers who have been killed,
wounded and otherwise incapacitated
for duty curing the present war in
Cuba These figures have been re-
ceived in this city recently from re-
liable sources, aud are said TO be as
nearly authentic as IL is possible to
obtain them without recourse To the
records kept by the Spanish govern
ment From the same source consid-
erable other information bearing on
the military strength Of Spalo and her
dependencies is obtained The pres
ent force of Spain in Cuba is as
follows:
Regulars, 1875, 900 men. OF this mum
Der, it is estimated that so, 600 OF them
are effective for military purposes.
They are distributed throughout the
island as follows: About rs, 200 are
in the two eastern provinces OF Santi-
ago do Cuba and Puerto Principe, and
the remainder are in the provinces of
Santa Clara, Mantanzas, Havana
and Pinar del Rio There are about
30, 600 members In what is known as
the volunteer army. These are mostly
in the province of Havana, aud are
largely in the nature of home guards
corresponding TO our state militia.
There are IS, 900 men who are not ef-
feccive for military duty from various
causes.
The strength of the Spanish army
at home and including her nearby
possessions, is 100, 900 men, which, in
times of demand for additional SOL
diers, may be increased as follows:
First reserve, 30, 900; second reserve,
100, 900 men, all of whom are in
structed in military tactics. and Sec
ond reserve, not instructed, of 30, 900
men, making in all grand total Of
GlO, 600 men. Since these figures were
received here, recent drafts Of 1000
men TO strengthen the army in Cuba
leaves only $4,000 men of SPANS reg
ular army now in the peninsula, the
Baleric islands, the Spanish posses
sions in North Africa and the Canary
islands
In the Philippine islands Spain has
an army OF 30, 900 men, which includes
about $4,000 native troops Several
regiments of the latter were disbando 4
during the time of the late insurrec,
tion in the islands, and at time of war
it is said they are of very little use TO
the Spanish government
In Porto Rico there are 5000 Span
ish troops, which in the event OF hos
tilities could be supplemented by 1000
volunteers.

MANY LAWYERS IN CONGRESS.
Never Before Has the Profession been
Represented In such Numbers.

From the st. Louis Republic: The
preponderanco of lawyers is especially
heavy in the membership Of the pres
ent congress. OF the eighty-nine Nom
bers of the senate. sixty are lawyers
OF more or less experience and renown.
OF the 35S men who now sit in the
house 2i5 are members Of the bar The
account on this score in the two houses
stands: Lawyers, 305; all others, AZ
In other words, something over two
thirds of the membership OF both
branches OF congress are lawyers.
There is one vacancy in each house at
present. This preponderance of law
yers is one OF the heaviest ever known

DIVING TORPEDO BOAT.
Hollands Submarine Craft Makes
Successful Test

Hollands Submarine Craft Makes
Successful Test
New YORK, March 49, John p Hol-
lands submarine torpedo boat proved
herself success yesterday afternoon.
The craft made a dive beneath the
water Of Staten Island sound, ran a
quarter of mile completed sub
merged and rose TO the surface again.
This feat, the constructors of the boat
said, proved her value as a naval ves-
sell as she demonstrated her ability
TO approach hostile battleships un-
seen, protected from the fire OF the
heaviest projectiles by the water.
Armed as she is, with a torpedo tube
and two dynamite guns, she would be
a terrible antagonist
She is designed 10 run fifty miles
under water and to be capable Of nav
igating to a depth of 100 feet
She carries compressed air to supply
the crew for six hours under water,
and her electric storage batteries will
carry her for fifty miles at twelve
knots when submerged
A government test of the boat will
be made to-day. II the boat proves all
her designer promises she will be at
once taken over by the government
