the Fourth.
About one hundred recruits have been
sent of from Virginia 10 the Fourth Vir-
ginia Regiment. All OF these are from tho
Third. Two hundred more are needed.
Capt Wyatt thinks they will be easily
secured when the Second is mustered out.
which will be not later than Saturday.
Capt. Wyatt has received no instruct
ions as 10 what he shall do with the re-
cruits after the Fourth leaves for cuba.
which Will be sometime this week. 1t IS
probable. however. that he viii be direct
ed 10 send the men TO Havana. The Cap
tain's work will be completed early next
week probably on Monday or Tuesday.
Major Price has not been notified when
the paymasters will arrive to settle with
the men OF the Second.
one OF the most serious obstacles In the
way Of the reorganization OF the Stat"
militia is The Fourth Regiment. Most OF
the officers and men of this command
will want 10 re-enter the State service
upon their return from cuba. Any plan
that may be adopted will have TO leave
room for these soldiers. This Organiza-
ton contains men from all the other regi-
ments They regard themselves as tni
warmest pebbles on the military beach
and think they should have the best OF
everything uhutI tiie ItDl SdhiHdtioh pam
Should the reorganization take place
while the Fourth is away there will be
trouble and no end of it. These men are
not willing 10 be left out in the cold. They
want to remain in service when they re-
turn.
Another thing that will puzzle thoss
who have to formulate the plan is the
rank of officers. Those who enlisted for
the war with Spain are not willing to be
outranked by those who did not volun-
teer, or who were not ordered into serv-
ice

Of four revenue cutters from the great
lakes to the Atlantic coast by way OF 'he
Canadian canals and the st. Lawrence
river The vessels had reached Lake

opening Of navigation when war was de-
clared between the United states and

granted before the outbreak OF hostllltles
would not be withdrawn, provided the
United States government gave assurance
that the vessels In question would pro

This government promptly agreed to the

favorable conclusion Of the pending ne
gOtiatOns with Great Britain In respect
to the Dominion of Canada II Is the
earnest wish Of this government TO re-
move all sources OF discord and irrita-

ing Dominion The trade between the two
countries is constantly increasing and It
is important to both countries that all
reasonable facilities should be granted for
its development
RECIPROCITY WITH GREECE.
The government of Greece strongly
urges the nervousness OF the duty here
imposed upon the currants of that coun-
try amounting to 100 per cent. or more
OF their market value. This fruit IS stat
ed TO be exclusively Greek product, not
coming into competition with any domes-
tic product. The question of reciprocal
commercial relations with Greece incud-
ing the restoration of currants to the
free list is under consideration.
The long standing claim for Bernard
Campbell for damages for injuries sus-
tanned from a violent assault committed
against him by military authorities In
the Island Of Hayti. has been settled by
the agreement of that republic TO pay
him $4,000 in American money. OF this
sum 5000 has already been paid.
II IS hoped that other pending claims
Of American citizens against that repub-
lie may be amicably adjusted.
