Mangrove, are now available, and much
good Is eNneeted from them.

The Miners Journal this morning pub
lished a sensational article to the effect that
the companies of the National Guard in this
county had received orders from Major Gen
eral Snowdtn to be in readiness to respond
at a moments notice, and the officers were to
recruit their commands to the full quote by
law. A telephone message from Captain
Andrew Comrey, at Mahanoy City, says
there is no truth in the statement, and that
no orders have been issued, at least his COM
mand has received none.

did command has endured not only the
hardships and sacrifices incident to

people turn with tender sympathy to
the sick and wounded. May the father
of mercy protect and comfort them.

Washington. July 1s.-Commander
Brownson of the auxiliary cruiser
Yankee was in conference with Secre-
tary Long today, arranging for the trip
OF his ship with the large cargo of
ammunition for Commodore Watson's
squadron in it's attack on the coast of
Spain. The Yankee is at Norfolk and
will sail tomorrow for Santiago. She
viii reach there about next Tuesday,
and the big stock Of ammunition VIII
then be placed aboard the battleshlpS
and cruisers. This transfer of powder
and shells is a delicate operation, re-
curing time. and It is probable that
the week win be well along before TINS
and the re-coaling of the Yankee VIII
permit the squadron to actually get un-
Ter way for Spain.
Owing to the important mission or
Commodore Watson's squadron, and
It's possibility of long absence from an
American port, every magazine on the
ships viii be full when the ships sail
Admiral Sampson recently made the
requisition for the ammunition and
supplies, as these had run low as re-
slllt Of the engagement with the Ger
vera squadron and the frequent she'll
ing Of Santiago. One load already mas
been taken down on a supply snip, and
the Yankee now fills up the full quota
Eacn DailteSnlp VIII nave ABOUT wv
tons of powder, with so to 20 of the
lSrgest 12-inch or 13-inch shells. ac-
cording TO the size of the big guns;
20 to so eight-inch shells; 200 to 300 of
the shells for six-pounders and other
medium-sized goods, and 500 to 500
rounds for the small rapid-fire guns.
The cruisers carry approximately the
same allowance, without the shells for
the y and 13-inch guns.
Aside from this equipment of smells,
the squadron is we'll provided with
solid armor-piercing steel shot. There
has been no call for a renewal of the
supply of armor piercers, as Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet seems to have used
very few of them thus far, combining
their work to the big explosive shells.
The latter, although not made for ar
NOR piercing, are tested by the navy
department to pass through four inches
of solid steel, not exploding until
through the steel. They have done
such execution that Admiral Sampson
has reserved almost his entire stock of
piercing shells.
The navy department will not set a
time for the departure of Commodore
Watson's squadron, but with the de-
livery Of the Yankees supplies Of am
munition very few days viii be lost
before this formidable squadron will
be headed for Spain.
