TUESDAY, JUNE 81, 1898.

EVERY year the superintendent of In
struction in the several counties of this
state advertise that examinations will be
leld for all who desire to secure free
scholarship in Rutgers College. On the
appointed day Superintendent Stees was
at the Court House ready for business but
he might as well have remained at home.
Either the advantages of a course at Rut-
GERS are not known or else the inducements
held out are not sufficient to cause a rush
to the seat of learning. This state of af-
fairs is not confined to Burlington county
but is a sample of the situation over the
entire state. Prof. Stees does not intend
to let the matter go by default in his jur-
isdiction on the plea of ignorance. Dur
ing the coming school year he will speak
on this chance to secure higher education
in every school room in the county. If
interest is not then awakened on the sub
ject it will not be his fault.
AT THE last convention of the Firemen's
Relief Fund of this State committee was
appointed to procure site for Home for
disabled firemen. The committee held a
meeting last week, but did not take action
on any of the sites offered It is safe to
say, however, that the home will not be
located in the lower part of the State, as
it seems to be the rule to have everything
connected with this organization controlled
by the upper part of the state. All of the
principal offices are filled by people above
Trenton, and the committee to look after
the Home project, consisting of ten mem
bers, has two representatives below the
capital. The idea of Home originated
in the upper part of the state, and conse-
qnently went through with bells on This
fad of building Home for every institu-
ton that has little surplus cash on hand
is rapidly growing. The necessity for a
Firemen's Home is yet to be made APP
parent, and the money that will be used
in its construction can be spent to better
advantage in many ways other than erect
ing building that will be living monu
ment to few.

DETAILS OF
The FIGHT.

The engagement began with desultory
firing at the pickets, a thousand yards
inland from thu camp. Capt. Spicer' s
company was doing guard duty and was
driven in, finally rallying on the camp
and repulsing the enemy at O'Clock.
The bodies Of Privates McColgan and
Dunphy were found, both shot in the
head. The large cavities caused by the
bullets, which inside range OF 800 yards,
have rotary motion, indicate that the
victims were killed at close range.
The bodies were stripped of shoes, hats
and cartridge belts and horribly mutt
lated with maohettes.
When they were brought in the whole
battalion formed three sides of hollow
square about the camp on the hill top.
below In the bay were the warships at
anchor. Inland from the hill camp is a
deep raVine and beyond this are high
hills. The adjacent country is heavy with
thicket growth. The sky was blanketed
with clouds and when the sun set a gale
was blowing seaward. Night fell thick

formation to the United States authors

ordered to leave Porto Rico. The Span

GEN. ALGER'S STATEMENT.
Immense Amount of Work Done Prepar
ing For War.

Washington June 12.-Secretary Alger
gave out for publication statement show
ing with exactness just what has been
done by the war department up to this
moment in preparing for the United
States army for war. The secretary said
that tkis matter, which had been cars
fully prepared by the heads of the various
departments, of course committed thous.
ands of details but still it might convey
to the American people SONS idea of the
vast work accomplished by the waridepart-
eaaipping the mighty army which is now
ready 70. carry out the will OF the country
in driving Spain from her last foothold
in the western henishpere.
Sinoe May the Subsistence department
has loaded IL solid miles of freight cars
with provisions including 20, l23, ,945 ra-
tiops. weighing 80, 1S0 tons.
Sixteen volunteer batteries have been
supplied either in whole or in part.
Sihcs the beginning of hostilities the
department has sent to the field large
number Of five inch guns and seven inch
seige howfsters.
Immense supplies of ammunition of
all kinds have been sent out. For ty one
We ssels have been chartered as transports.
All had to be fitted for the purpose.
II has been difficult to get transports
On the Pacific coast but enough will even
tually be secured.
: The movement Of troops to rendezvous
points was vast undertaking.
Altogether the troops transported, regu-
lar and volunteer, was 1876 regiments in
fantgy, "a regiments, battalioas, or
troops Of cavalry and 20 batteries of ar
tillery.
The statement includes long list of
thiBgs transported including $4,000 mules,
1O,GGU horses, 130, 7S5 flannel shirts, 49,
709 campaign hats and other equipments
in like proportion. The work of the en- :.
sgneer corps in erecting batteries, plant

delivered and $4,000 submarine mines

most numerous gathered in American
waters since the Civil war. The troops
should arrive of Santiago by Wednesday
night, supposing sthe feet proceeds at
eight knots speed and landing operations
should begin by Thursday, for General
Shafter will not keep his men oooped up
on shipboard moment longer than nec-
essary. 1t is not believed that they will
be landed at Caimanara, the point of
Guantanamo bay where the American
flag now flies over the heads of Simpsons S
marines. as. that place, while we'll adapted
to serve as q naval base, and as a ha rbor
of refuge for American vessels, is not
particularly we'll suited for the beginning
of military operations.
In 10 days time, unless unforeseen obsta-
cles are encountered, the movement upon
Porto Rico, will begin.
The war department has been in close
communication by telegraph with Gen.
Miles at Tampa and all of the necessary
instructions have been given to the COM
manding general for the preparation of
the military forces to be used in this part
of the campaign. Gen. Miles in turn has
been consulting Generals Coppinger and
Lee at Jacksonville giving the necessary
detailed instructions and all is so near
ready that we're some essential supplies
in hand thea expedition could start with
in "a hours. The navy department had
been advised of the purpose of the army
and the war board today was making ar
rangement for the supplying of the con-
voying fleet. This will be of a more
formidable character than that which
goes with the Santiago expedition, for
the plans contemplate joint attack upon
the San Juan Notifications by the army
and navy, and the Notifications are so
powerful that heavily armored ship only
can be sent against them at the begin
ming. Threfore it is believed that Samp-
sons battleships will lead this fleet.
Now that Sampson has taken up posi-.
tion ashore at Guantanamo, it is expected
at the navy department that he will soon
be in direct cable communication with the
department which will greatly facilitate
the combinedsoperation of the army and
navy.
The cable which was cut just before the
marines were landed was buoyed and
as soon as cable operators and instru-
ments can be gotten over from Hayti the
cable will be opened again.

themselves without support, ran down

ing this assault that Assistant Surgeon
Gibbs was killed. He was shot in the
head in front of his own tent, the farthest

Private Sullivan and both dropped. A
second bullet threw dust in their faces.
Surgeon Gibbs lived ten minutes, but
did not regain consciousness.
The surgeons of the hospital corps then
removed their quarters to the trenches
about the old Spanish stockade, north of
the camp. The attacks were continued
aft intervals throughout the rest of tine
night, with firing from small squads in
various directions.
Toward Emorning the fire slackened.

Washington, June 13.-Under COM

division of the United States army will.
sail tonight from Key West for Santiago

The army transports, 80 in number, left
Port Tampa yesterday and are now at

lieved to number between IS and 10, will
be ready for the voyage by nightfall and
with this powerful force there is NO
longer reason for apprehension that the

any Spanish warships even If such should
