THIEF AT GOVERNMENT BUILDING.


Coycts n Couple of Shooting Irons and
C:rri"s Aw-.' One.
A double-barreled shotgun was stolen from
one of the racks in the War department
exhibit in the Government building last
Thursday by a man who probably thought
he was getting a prize. When he got out
side OF the grounds with his plumber he
found that the gun was an old-fashioned
muZZle-loading affair, the barrels of which
had been cut off until the weapon was about
the length of a carbine. The trigger and
hammer on one side were gone and the
hammer of the other barrel was so rusty
that one shot would have ended its useful
ness. The inside of the barrel was eaten
away with rust and the stock had been
broken and repaired by binding a piece of
deerskin about it. He threw the weapon
in the grass, where it was found shortly
afterwards by some boys and returned to
the building.
The attendant in one of the lunch stands
seeing a man carrying the gun away but
did not pay enough attention to the matter
at the time to be able to identify him.
The gun was an old relic picked up on an
Indian battlefield years ago and preserved
in the museum of the War department.
At the same time the gun disappeared a
revolver of the latest type, the style of
arm now in use in the army, was also taken.
II is presumed that the same individual
took this and the gun. The revolver was
fastened to a board. together with a number
of others of different types, the collection
illustrating the Improvement in this class
Of arms during a period of several years.

PATRIOT VERSE and PATRIOT PROSE
Under the Trees at Arlington and
at Soldiers Home.
THE OLD FLAG UNFURLED

The graves of the heroic dead who laid
down their lives a third of a century ago
TO perpetuate a nation, to assure the eter-
nal mission of one country under one flag
and to give the heritage of freedom to all
the multitudes which are to people its
hills and valleys under the glorious and
benfgnant protection of the stars and
stripes were strewn with flowers today by
a thankful people. Wherever a mound
covered the dust of Union soldier there
reverent hands laid a tribute of blossoms,
and in all sections eloquent lips told the
story of the dead and pointed the moral OF
their mounds to the living. In the ma
tional capital, as heretofore, the anniver-
sary was generally observed, but 1t had
greater meaning and more impressive
import than ever before. In previous years
the occasion has been marked only by the
veneratfon. affection and honor for those
who fell for the flag. The sweet mouth Of
peace sang a song over all the land and
Its echoes fell like harmonies from heaven
into every heart. Today the inspiration
was different. but yet nobler. The trib-
utes to the dust Of those who were camped
in the little green tents of the grave were
coupled with hearty prayers for the safety
and success of those who are again gath
cred under the glstening white tents OF
the field, and wherever a flower was drop
ped or a blossom blessed the sentiments
were the same-one country, one flag, one
purpose, one God.
The crowds that gathered at the great
national cemetery at Arlington listened to
the eloquence of gifted orators. who drew
from the dust around them inspiration to
sound the solemn necessities of the moment.
that confront every citizen of the republic,
and patriotism alone became the theme.
At the other cemeteries surrounding WASH
ington the sentiment was the same The
bands played Yankee Doodle" only to
follow 1t with Dixie" Now the glorious
strains of Columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean," would be succeeded by Maryland,
Ny Maryland and as the music fell on
listening ears hearts beat in time to the
tunes. Everywhere was the stupendous
impressive, Overwhelming demonstration Of
a country reunited beyond all bitterness
and regret and rancor. Within gunshot
almost of Arlington were thousands of the
men of the north in martial array awaiting
the order to go forth and battle anew for
the rights of man that the unforgotten he
roes under the waving grass had made i'm
perial and everlasting, and far to the
southwark were the men of the south, war.
clad too, inspired by purposes and aspira-
tions as earnest and holy, all eager and
their commanders all wore the blue of the

of a Clever Ruse.

Capt. Sigsbee Captures Valuable
CoaI-Laden Prize.
HEAT IS INTOLERAB f

Secretary Long received a dis
patch from Commodore Schley early
this morning that the Spanish fleet
was in Santiago bay.
1t is understood that the plans for
the conquest OF Porto Rico and
Cuba will now be carried into exc
oution without delay
1t is the belief OF those about
the White House that the Presidents
plan is to capture Porto Rico at once,
and that the movement will begin
this week.
Reports to the War Department
today indicated that III 500 troops
had been mustered into the volun-
teer army.
Only three states have failed to
fill their quota, so far as recruiting is
concerned, and the fault is due to the
inability of mastering officers to
complete their work.
A dispatch from Mole St. Nicho-
las positively affirlns that Admiral
Cervera's fleet is in the harbor OF
Santiago de Cuba and that Commo-
dore Schley is outside with form
idable fleet The news is also con-
firmed from Key West.
Capt. Sigsbee with his cruiser, the
St. Paul, captured a British steamer
laden with coal while trying to slip
into the harbor of Santiago. Capt.
Sigsbee overhauled the steamer TN
der the very guns OF Moro Castle.

In Cuba gives a graphic account OF
a raid on the town OF Remedies bv

iDgly quiet. The building was closed to Wis.
itors. Hundreds Of sun-burned soldiers on
leave Of absence from Camp Alger passed
through the grounds in the hope of getting
inside the building.
Secretary Alger visited the President
early in the morning. Other visitors were
Senators Quay, Penrose, Shoup Berry
Representatives Steele and Bingham and
Gen. M. =. Butler, who was nominated or
Saturday TO be major general
The Equipment of Troops.
A denial is made by high authority that
the President was displeased with the con-
dition of the troops at Camp Alger, and
Tat he instituted vigorous inquiries as to
the failure to have the soldiers clothed and
given arms and ammunition.
On the other hand, ii is asserted that the
President is satisfied with the program for
the outfitting and arming of the troops at
Camp Alger, at Chickamauga, and else
where. This program it is officially stated,
ctntemplates tha preparation of all the
troops at one time.
Some of the states have not vet got their
quotas in readiness for Transportation to
the federal camps, and all CT the soldiers
called for under the first proclamation will
not be fully in the hands of Uncle Sam be-
fore the end of the week.
Secretary Alger, some time ago. decided
against equipping and arnng the troops
by piecemeal. To have done this at the
respective state camps would have required
the services of numerous quartermasters
and would have rendereds necessary petty
shipments to all points ef the country.
This is obviated by sending everything to
few big camps, where an the soldiers can
be provided for at the same time
1t is admitted that there have not been
sufficient supplies for all the volunteers and
that these are now being prepared, but q
portion of the volunteer army could have
been fitted out good while ago. This
course, it is said, might have ensenIered
jealousies and celled forth the charges of
discrimination.

NEW YORK, May 3O.-The British
steamer Laughton. which arrived today
from Curacao and La Guyra is chartered
to run on the Red D line. this being her
first trip. Captain Hodgson brought in
formation confirming the recent reports of
the Spanish fleet which put into Curacao
for coal and provisions. He also brought
photographs of the Vizcaya and Infanta
tance from the Laughton.
Captain Hodgson says the ships bot
toms were very foul and covered with long
grass. They stood high out of the water,
owing to their lack of coal, and the boat
men of the harbor said that the sailors of
the cruisers were in need of food, having
been put on short allowances for some
days before arriving at Curacao. The
opinion was unanimous that they were in
no condition for speed.
