more about pink teas than about business.
A type of the chaps whom Populists rave

Against Landing of Ill Soldiers.

TAMPA, Fla, June 2S.-The steamship
Olivette is momentarly expected, and the
disposition of the sick and wounded she will
bring is a question of some concern here.
The belief that suffering soldiers were to
be brought here direct from the Cuban
shores without any quarantine detention
whatever caused apprehension The hospi-
tai train is here for the ostensible purpose
of conveying the sick quickly to more
Northern hospitals, but at the same time
a number of hospital tents are being pre-
pared in the camp on Tampa Heights. If,
upon the arrival of the Olivette.. the gov
eminent shows disposition to locate the
sick men here a protest will be made by
w. B. Henderson, president of the State
Board of Health. Mr.. Henderson said to-
day that in such an event he would file
protest with the authorities. and ask that
they utilize the hospital they have recently
erect ed on EgmOnt kew

No Extra Duty Paw.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-According to a
decision of the controller of the treasury.
extra duty pay of all soldiers is cut off in
war time, no matter where they may be en-
ployed. The act of Congress of April e.
1885, provides for an increase in the pay
proper of all enlisted men in time of hos
tilities. The controller also holds that the
act of May last making an appropriation
for extra pay for certain enlisted men in
the quartermaster's department does not
authorize their pay for extra duty in war
tines.
