NO FRICTION AT HEADQUARTERS.

Washington. June 1.-THE reports Of friction
between Army headquarters and the various
supply bureaus OF the War Department because
Of the congested condition Of affairs at Tampa
are denied by officers Of the departments under
whose direction these matters come. II Is adj
mitted by these officials that in shipping great
quantities Of subsistence and equipments TO
Tampa difficulties arose In unloading but on
behalf OF the commissary's branch II is said au-
thoritatively that there has been no controversy
with the higher officials regarding this matter,
and there is no delay In deposting at the points
designated by the authorities all the supplies
needed On the contrary. IT is asserted and
shown that there has been sent To the various
modifying points in the South great quantity
OF rations vastly more than enough for all pur-
poses needed up to this time. In the Quarter
masters Department the statement Is also made
that there has been no controversy between the
officials and no recriminating kilograms between
Army headquarters and the Department. as has
been published.

NEED Not RESIGN STATE OFFICES.

Washington. June 1.-THE Attorney-General
has rendered opinion OF great interest TO
State officials and others who have accepted COM
missions in the volunteer army. He holds that
Section 1920 Of the Revised Statutes, which
prohibits Army officers from exercising the func-
lions of a civil office penalty OF losing their
commissions applies only to officers of tho Regu
lar Army. He is Of opinion that II would be I'M
fair to construe the statute as affecting officers
in the volunteers, because many OF them accept
ed these places believing that the war with
Spain would be OF brief duration, and therefore
preferred not 70 relinquish the compensation Of
the civil Offices they held. The case In question
WAS that Of Mr. Grigsby. State officer OF South
Dakota who was appointed colonel Of one OF the
regiments OF mounted rihemen authorized by
the Volunteer Army act.
II is understood here that the opinion Of the
officials IL that the question Of the compatibility
Of State officers retaining their places while at
the same time holding places in the volunteer
army is q matter which must be settled by the
States themselves.
