Chas. Latham has begun the work
OF raising P. w. Flakes brick store
building on broadway. The build
ing Is about eighteen incher lower
than the street grade, and will be
raised to conform with the buildings
on that street, which were built up
to grade. 1t will be a difficult piece
of work, as sections of the stone
foundation walls will have to be
taken out to give space for the jack
screws, by which the building will
be raised. However, Mr.. Latham
has had years OF experience In this
work, and no one doubts his ability
to succeed in his present undertaking.

QUIN1NE FOR TROOPS.
It Forms a Good Share of the Medicine
 Supply.

Washington, July Through the foresight of urgeon-General Sternberg of the army the troops -hich have gone to Santiago, as well as the in surgents who may join the army, will be well supplied with quinine, so nec- essary to health in tropical climates The need of this article of medicine is brought forcibly to the attention of the department in the telegram re- ceiyed by General Niles from one of his aides, who said that one Of the needs of the insurgents is Quinine. The United States army, said General Sternberg, is equipped with three months supply of medicines, and of this quinine forms a good share. In addition to the supply already on the ships the hospital vessel Relief will take to Santiago 100000 quinine pills, which the general believes will last the army a reasonables time.

FIGHTING GOING ON.
The Capital City Has inc RuMOr
 Not Official.

Washington, July 1.-General Shaf- ter reported to the president today that he had began an attack on Santiago this morning. Fighting is now going on, having begun with an active skir- mish.
 A rumor was in circulation here this afternoon that Santiago had been captured, but at 2:45 p. m. Adjutant- General Corbin said there were no dispatches here to confirm the runior. According to General Shafter's report the attack on Santiago was begun by the second division of the Fifth army corps commanded by Brigadier-Gen- eral Lawton. This division consists of three brigaGes made up as follows:
 First brigade, commanded by Col. N. J. Van Horn, Eighth U. s. infantry, Twenty-second U. s. infantry and Sec ond Massachusetts infantry.
 Second brigade, commanding officer unknown, but supposed to be Col. Bates, First U. S. infantry, Fourth U. s. infantry and Twenty-fifth U. S. in- fantry.
 Third brigade, commanded by Brig adier-General A. R. Chaffee, Seventh U. S. infantry, Twelfth U. S. infantry and Seventeenth U. s. infantry
 Thus it appears that the entire di- vision which opened the hostilities of the day is composed entirely of reg ular troops, seasoned and experienced in battle, with the exception of the Second Massachusetts volunteer in fantry, which is regarded as one of the best volunteer organizations of the army

Near Aguadores, Via Kingston, Ja- maica, July 1.-Crowds of Cuban ref ugees rom Santiago filed along the roads today and all told the same story. They are short of food in the city, they say, but the Spaniards rely on the entrenchments in front of the city. The guns inside of it are of little use.

MAIL CARRIERS SALARIES.
War Permits No Increase-Mail for
Soldiers in Cuba.

The employees of the postal department of
the government must bear part of the ex-
penses of conducting the war. Postmaster
Hess received a letter yesterday from As
sistant Postmaster General Perry s. Heath
stating it will be impossible to increase the
wages of clerks and carriers with marks
of merit and terms of service sufficient to
warrant it, because there is not money
enough The letter says Congress has
shrunk the salary appropriation $500, 900 and
appropriated only $4,000 for military postal
service. This entails strict economy. IF
you can dispense with one or more super
fuous clerks" the letter says, do so and
apply their salaries to the increase men,
toned of other clerks
circular has also been received on the
subject of mail and money orders for men
in the army. 1t is gathered from the circu-
lar that military stations will be estab-
lished in the path of the armies, both in
Cuba and the Philippines. These stations
will be numbered. AT this time mail should
be sent to the postmaster at military sta
ton No l in Cuba, and also in the Philip
pines. The matter for the Cuban military
station will be handled through the New
York postoffice.

Colonel WILSON'S Return.

Col. c. e. Wilson. private secretary to
Governor Mount, returned yesterday from
trip of observation to Chickamauga, made
in company with Col. w. T. Durbin and
Maj. Harold Megrew, of the One-hundred-
and-sixty-first. The latter two will remain
at the camp for few days to study mill
tary evolutions and tactics as used in actual
service. Colonel Wilson reports the troops
in excellent health and generally in high
spirits. The reports coming here from time
to time regarding the unhealthy condition
of the camp grounds and the lack of proper
food and water, he thinks, are without
foundation, as the situation is an ideal one,
with plenty of water and food of the sub
stantial sort. On several occasions private
letters to the Governor have conveyed the
information that the soldiers were bare
footed and in rags through the negligence
of the government. These stories were
proved to be equally without reason or
foundation. In discussing the condition of
the two regiments at that point when he
made his visit, Colonel Wilson said Colonel
Gunders regiment was in fine fettle and
only few men were the sick list, while
in the case of Colonel Smiths boys not
man was off duty from necessity. Not a
man complained of his lot to him, except
that all wished to go to the front as soon
as possible and everyone seemed to suffer
from inactiOn.

The one word we'll was all that Captain
English was able to get off, and this was a
great measure of relief to his wife, who has
been reading the accounts of the fighting
on the southern Cuban coast with much
dread. 1t is almost impossible to get a pri-
vate message over the one cable which the
government has control of out of the San

English persuaded one of his newspaper
friends to take the cabegram over TO ia

cable carried the one word down to Pana-

to Galveston, Tex, and from there to this

Him by People Whose Names Are

Henry N Spaan it is understood. has been
John o. Moore, who was arrested last week
on the charge of wife murder. Attorneys
Harding & Hovey will undertake the de-
Tense of Moore, and since his last arrest
the firm has had several inter views with the
prisoner. To-day an attempt will be made
to have Moore released on bond. Although
he is charged with murder in the first de-
gree, Moore's attorneys expect to have him
liberated This action will be taken under
a section of the criminal statute providing
for the release on bond of prisoners held
for murder where the proof of guilt is not
clear nor the presumption strong. Moore's
attorneys insist that this is true in their eli
ents case.
After long interview with Moore yester-
day Attorney Harding declared his client is
innocent of the crime of murder. and he said
this would be shown in good time Moore's
attorneys are preparing to take dispositions
at Chickamauga within the next few days.
1t is said that members of Battery A, now
in camp there, will be able to testify as to
Moore's whereabouts on the afternoon of
the murder, and an agent will be hurried
off to Chickamauga to take the dispositions
of these men before the battery is ordered
away. Mr. Harding says it can be clearly

than was testified to in the Police Court

to have been at the house with her at the
time she was killed.

THE POOR BEER BUSINESS
INDIANAPOLIS COMPANY GETS AN
OTHER REDUCED VALUATION.
Lowered $4,000 by Board of Review
--GraduaI Falling Of of
Nearly $2OO,OOO.

In fixing valuations on the property of
different corporations yesterday the County
Beard of Review reduced the assessment of
the indianapolis Brewing Company from
$G50,000 to 100000. Albert Lieber, president
and general manager of the company, was
before the board and satisfied the members
that the reduction should be made.
Several years ago, when the brewing COM
pany Joined the syndicate, it was assessed
the first time, under the new arrangement,
100000. This was because the board was
unable to get a representative of the COM
pany to appear. The usual notice was sent
out and when on one came to assist in fix
ing the valuation the board concluded to
make its own assessment and it put the fig
ure high enough. Each year since then the
brewing company has always had repre-
sentative before the board, and there has
been a gradual effort to lower the assess
ment. Mr.. Lieber, in his statement yester-
day, was able to convince the board that
$4,000 was sufficiently high assessment
to place on the plant.
Other valuations were placed as follows:
