The course of the exchange market and
the continued influx of gold must be ac-

no interruption to the engagements of gold

Bank of France for gold, and finally that
institution went so far on Friday as to

current ease in money rates, this insistent

DRY GOODS.

New York March 12.-The close of the
week is quiet in dry goods at first hands.
Staple goods show no change from the
market conditions prevailing at the open

has been a we'll sustained demand for sea-
sonable styles, particularly in printed ard

HOSPITAL CONTRACTS AWARDED.
w. r. May & Co. VIII Begin Work
Within Five Days.

Messrs. w. F. May & Co. of Chattanoo-
ga have been awarded the contract for the
construction of the army hospital. The
award was made yesterday afternoon by
Capt. ]. w. McHarg, assistant quarter
master who at once notified the firm.
Mr. Henry D. Roethe of Baltimore Sc
cured the contract for the plumbing to
go into the hospital building. He also was
notified by Capt McHarg.
A telegram was received during the af-
ternoon by Capt McHarg from the office
of the quartermaster general at Washing
ton, instructng him to advise Messrs. May
& Co., and Mr. Roethe that they, as the
lowest and most satisfactory bidders, had
secured the contracts. This early informal
ton from the office a. Washington means
that there was no time lost in taking up
the consideration of the bids after they
had been received. Two or three days were
lost on account of the uncertainty that
grew Up about the site for the hospital,
but, even as it is, the award is made some
days sooner than was anticipated.
The bid of Messrs. May & Co. was to
construct all of the forty-nine buildings
within sixty days from the time they be-
gin work, for ST., 80. This was the lowest
bid by several thousand dollars.
Mr. Roethe bid for the plumbing al $12,-
go which was much lower than the bid
made by the lowest of the other contrac-
tors.
Work must begin on the building within
five days from to-day. Such is one of the
provisions of the contract that will be
made. This means that work on the hos
ptal will begin by next Monday.
Messrs May & Co. have no representa-
tive in Savannah, but one will probably
be here tomorrow or the day after. He
will have to get in hurry at once in order
to be in readiness to begin work within
the stipulated time. A vast amount of ma
terial has to be secured for the buildings.
To complete them all within sixty days
from the time work viii begin will mean
a great deal of activity, and the sound of
the hammer and the saw will be pretty
constant until every building is finished.
There was some talk yesterday about
town of there having been a change In the
hospital site after all. 1t was reported
that it had been changed from the tract
at the intersection of Bull street and Estill
avenue TO that of Dale avenue and the Wa
ters road This was a mistake, as the
buildings viii be erected upon the original
site. Col Forward, assistant surgeon gem
eral. reported favorably to his department
at Washington upon the site, and it was
finally adopted. He left yesterday for
Washington, where he viii remain for a
few days before returning to Savannah to
superintend the construction of the build
ings.

Capt. Tunnel visited Moro Castle where
Hobson and his men were, confined and Sc
cured enough of the prison door to make

Santiago has been very much improved,
Capt Tunnel said, since the Americans
took charge, although it will take some
time, and a great amount of work TO make
1t perfect. The army force is working
steadily to clean up the city, and is ac-
comprising much to insure health to the
Inhabitants, new and Old. u.s..

RUNAWAY MADE THINGS LIVELY

Delivery Horse Upset Matters
Around Provost Headquarters.
Things bore a sort of payday aspect
around provost headquarters for a little
while yesterday morning. 1t was at about

A runaway team was responsible for il
ali. The horse was hitched to Foye &,
Morrison's delivery wagon. lie came tear
ing along State street without meeting any
obstacle until he reached The Chatham 5
armory. There he plunged up against a
horse ridden by a courier. The shock
threw the courier aud his horse. The cou-
rier escaped uninjured, but the horse was
considerably damaged.
The brunt of the disaster was borne by
the driver OF the wagon, who was thrown
out when his horse struck that of the
courier lie landed on his face. which
was badly cut and bruised and soon COW
cred with blood. The wagon also ran over
his Kegs and It was thought for a time
that both of them had been fractured. The
man was picked up by several soldiers
and carried into the barracks. He re-
NAMED there for about half an hour and
.hen got well enough TO walk away. The
wagon was torn up in the runaway.

LONGsTREET AT GETTYSBURG.
Gen. McGIashans Vivid Description
of the Charger.

Oh the OAdFEef4e.
A large audience enjoyed Gen. Nc
Glashan's address at the Guards hall last
night on 'Longstreet's Charge at Gettys-
burg" The address was brief, consider
ing the subject. and was at the same time
one of the best which Gen. McGlashan has
delivered on various occasions before the
Confederate Veterans Association.
Gen. McGlashan did not attempt to give
a general description of the campaign
leading up to the battle Of Gettysburg, nor
of the battle itself, but confined himself
to his subject, making brief illusions to
other important features of the battle His
description of the charge of Longstreet's
corps on the second day at Gettysburg and
the fierce fighting in The peach orchard
was realistic and hfe-iike and gave his
audience an idea of the sort of fighting
of which veteran heroes were capable.
In Longstreet's charge alone several
times as many men fell on each sides as
were lost by both Spaniards and Ameri-
cans in the fighting at Santiago, and the
struggle was far more desperate, for each
had a worthy foe. The appreciation of

fighting in the peach orchard and of the
grand charge of Barksdale's Mississppians
was eloquent and thrilling
Gen McGlashan made a touching allu-
sion to the recent death of Miss Winnie
Davis and closed with an eloquent tribute
to the memory of the Confederate soldier.
The speaker was introduced by Mr.. ].
r. Saussy In which he made very happy
allusion to the new state of affairs now
existing as evidenced by the recent re-
view of the Seventh Army Corps in this
city in which soldiers from all sections of
the country participated, all wearing the

the same flag.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was present, but oc-
