sistence of the army, has been submit
ted to the secretary of war. 1t shows

of the commissary department and its
organization foc the war with Spain
General Eagan comes to the Santiago
campaign of which he says:
"A very serious freight blockade at
and in the neighborhood of Tampa in
May and June, 1898, was caused by the
celebrity with which the troops and their
supplies were concentrated at that place
in preparation for the invasion of the
island of Cuba. This blockade was a
matter of grave concern TO the subsist-
ence department., and it was only after
the most peremptory orders of the COM
missary general of subsistence to un-
load the cars and to hire warehouses, if
necessary, that the officers of the depart.

so far extricate the department as to
permit the taking by the Fifth army
corps, when it sailed on June II, q sup
ply of rations sufficient to last the com.
mand of 10000 enlisted men for four
months, and the sending on June 26, ~
and 2S of further supplies"
After quoting number of official or
ders, the general says: 'It is evident
from the foregoing statements that the
supplies of subsistence stores of the
army il Cuba have been at all times in
excess of immediate needs. Besides be.

afforded relief to the Cuban army and
TO the destitate population which aban-
doned the city Of Santiago when pre- D.
aration for its destruction had been
made. -

THE DARK HORSE.
j. NJ. Alexander Looms UP as For
midable Post Office Candidate.

Up to the present date not word
has been said in the public prints
about J. NJ. Alexander in connection
with the postoifce appointment soon
to be made Tor Carbondale. He is the
dark horse in the race and is looming
up as one Of the most formidable
candidates in the field Several influ-
ential organizations have interceded
IN his hehalf and he is known to have
the support of several individuals who
stand very close to the powers that
be. Then he has "A creditable war rec
ord--a thing worth considering as was
shown when w. L. Warrington receiv-
ed the plum.
There is another fact interesting to
mention in this connection, though it
will not be a determining and probably
not even an influencing element in
the appointment and that is that Pres
i6ent Mckinley and Mr.. Alexander
are staunch members of the Methodist
Episcopal church.
Fifteen years conscientious work on
the school board and the fathering of
Memorial park alone would favor Mr..
Alexander if popular vote had any
thing to do with the matter.
The assurance that John II. Thomas
has not applied for the position and
the adding of Monumental Joe's"
name to the list of aspirants-Messrs.
Evans. I.athrop and Davis--all good
and true men; make this one of the
most interesting postoffice fights in the

GAVE SATISFACTION.
Councils Action in Letting Contract
Generally Pleasing.

The Tribune representative in MAX
ing Inquiries concerning the letting OF
paving contract Saturday night to Il
local bidder a a slightly higher figure
than that of the lowest bidder, learned
that the action is generally satisfac-
tory. Blair {; Kennedy, the successful
bidders, were lower on curbing and re-
setting curb but on paving their bid
was fourteen cents square yard
higher The difference is so little that
there is probably not a property own
or affected who would not rather see
the local men get the job. They will
employ local labor and the expenditure
IF the money here will be a direct
,oeiefit TO the city.
The only bad feature about it is the
discouraging effect it will have on out
side contractors when new work comes
up. Tney may refuse to bid and place
the city in position absolutely de-
pendent upon the few men of Carbon
dale who undertake big jobs.
