Thames Naval Station to be More Inn portant Than Ever
 It can be stated, on reliable authori- ty, that all the reports that the govern ment intends abandoning the New London naval station are untrue absolutely without the shadow of foundation. The deficiency bill, which was placed in the very last days of the session of congress, carried an Stppro- priation of $2OO,000 for coal pockets and machinery for the New London naval station and that does not look very much like giving up the station.
 The fact is the station is sure to be made very important coaling station for the enlarged navy which is sure to follow the war, and the future of the station is more promising than at any time during it's history.
 Secretary Long is greatly pleased that the New England Groton extension is to connect the station with trunk lines for the future use of the station. Of course at the present time the navy de- partment is busy with matters in southern waters, but the time is com ing.-New London Day.

DIRECTORY FOR 1898.

Shows List of 12,265 names-Nearly
 5000 Changes Made in Preparing the
 Work
 The Norwich Directory for 1898 is be- ing distributed, and, like it's predeces- sors, is up. to the high standard for ac- curacy and clearness maintained by its publishers, the Price & Lee company. The total number of names given is 2,265, as against 12,294 last year. The changes made in preparing the '9S di- rectory were 2,9S1; new names added, 1900; names erased, 1929.
 The list of citizens begins with Abaghtsian and ends with Zurowski, and this cosmopolitan characteristic is evident in the 255 pages of names, al though there is no dropping off in the number of Smiths and other old time residents. The business directory re- quires fifty pages, and the general, state and municipal information is un- commonly full and helpful. A new map keeps up with the changes in the city, and a clear and concise index adds to the value of the work.

on the sites of the burned buildings. The fever hospital is situated about half a mile across the railway bridge to the northeast of the town and is well isolated. Two hundred and fifty wounded men are still in the hospital ship relief, which lies here. All are re- covering rapidly. The volunteer regi- ments which have arrived here since the fighting ceased, are standing the climate remarkably well. The men seem greatly disappointed because they arrived too late to share in the bat ties, but they are seeing much of the hardships of campaigning. The daily downpour of rain last week rendered the camp very uncomfortable. The rifle pits and tents and the ground are soaked with water and the miser- able yellow clay on the Cuban coast makes marching almost an impossibili- ty. The troops look to be in good con- dition by daylight, but when the swift, tropical nights come down, damp and cloudy, with the men shivering miser- ably about the sputtering camp fires or searching for dry places for their blank cts the great mass of troops seems lit tie like victorious army. The men do not complain, but accept the rain soaked shelter tents with cheerfulness.
 The Fleet.
 Scarcely Warship remains off San tiago harbor entrance, almost the en- tire fleet holding positions directly op- posite the deserted fort at Aguadores. This afternoon the New York, flying the blue flag of the admiral lay an- chored with her bow almost on Rgua- dores beach, while clustered about her were the other ships of the great squad ron. The rifle pits which crown the bluff were deserted the Spanish SOL diers lying unconcernededly on the beach under the guns of the squadron and within hail of the men on the New York. The men of the navy are impa- tient to get into Santiago harbor, but it is not known yet when the entrance will be made. The refugees who have been quartered at Fl Caney were or dered back into the city to-day, and as most of them are without food the Red Cross societys aid is considered very important
 The open-handed generosity of Amer ican seamen was shown to-day when a subscription was opened on Commo- dore Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn, for the benefit of the young wife of George Henry Ellis, the only man killed on the American side during the battle with Admiral Cervera's squadron. The men eagerly offered their money, many whose salaries are but seventeen and eighteen dollars a month giving twenty and twenty-five dollars. The subscrip- tion soon amounted to $907, and then one seaman who had a silver coin talk en from one of the Spanish vessels of fered it for sale for the benefit of the fund, and it was bid in by another sea- man for $25. Lieutenant Mason offered five peseta piece from the Infanta Maria Teresa, and it's auction brought $60 more. The fund tonight amounts to over $1,000.
