CAMP ALGER, July 1--WE have now
had taste of army life, for we have
just returned, footsore and weary, from

first call and in g few minutes all was

General Goblin. Al a. m. the brigade
took the march, the three Pennsylvania
regiments taking the advance and our
regiment bringing up the rear with two
companies, G and E of Petersburg and
Lyochburg, respectively, acting as rear
guard.
The men were all in fine spirits and
kept up we'll all along the line until
nearly to the river, when they began to
play out, aud when we crossed the
Chain bridge scarcely single company
had its full quota of men, each ones
ranks being somewhat depleted by the
loss Of stragglers.
The march was taken up on the
Maryland side until within about one
mile of Glen Echo, where the tents
were pitched on hill overlooking the
fair Potomac at 1880 q. M. At 4
O'Clock this morning first call was again
sounded and at Sis a. m. the return

The men held up much better OF the
return march and reached headquar-

forty five minutes less time, for which,
of course, the Virginia Regiment gets

who was elected at the last meeting
but who declined to accept the posi-
ton.

WASTE PAPER.-rheA Alexandria COR
rAanondent OF the Baltimore Sun says
THE overflow Of waste paper chal.
leges the authorities and makes it i'm
nosible to keep clear King street or any
other of the business streets. The IL
lsosl and dangerous custom OF burning
the waste papers on the streets, which
Of one time afforded one method to
sbate the nuisance, was so carelessly
done that the remedy became worse
than the disease, and the mayor was
constrained to enforce the law against
street fires and forbid the throwing of
naner upon the street. Yet the streets
ARE strewn with papers, and the means
nj their removal, even when collected
in boxes. is insufficient. 1t is probable
some further action on the subject will
be taken"
The casting of waste paper in the
cemeteries and roads and lanes leading
thereto is also reprehensible. People
carry howers, which are to be placed on
graves, wrapped in newspapers, and
after the packages have beeh opened
tine papers are cast into the nearest
road. if they are not left in the ceme-
tories, aud are hurled in every direc.
ton hy the wind. 1t would be nc great
hardship for the person after having
decorated the graves of loved ones to
foid the papers which covered the
flowers and carry them away with
Ihcm. There is but little excuse for
untiipess, and it is hoped these sugges-
lions will cause cessation OF the prac-
lice which is probably due merely to
lhoughtlessness.

COMMON COUNCIL.

A cooler atmosphere prevailed IN tie
Council chamber LIST night than has
prevailed before at July meeting for
many years. From block away on
the other side Of tbs Market square
came the stentoriGn voice of an evange-
list calling the city authorities 20 repent
Of their sins.
MIR. Brill introduced an ordinance
authorizing the Police Commissioners
to appoint three additional policemen
to serve during the time when other
policemen are on vacation.
Mr.. Smith urged that the pres
ent needs made the ordinance "a timely
one.
Mr.. Greene said that the influx Of sol
diers into the city rendered it especial
Nv needful ior the protection Of the
community, especially ladies. that the
police force be kept up to its full stand
ard.
Alr. Uhler called attention to the
fact that when the police beard asked for
and received four additional privates OF
police it was with the distinct under
standing that readymen should not be
REQUIRED and 60 extra en- employed.
He thought that if the Mayer or the Po-
lice Commissioners considered these ad-
ditions necessary they would so report
to Council, and then the subject could
be considered.
Mr.. Smith urged that as the 0oatir 8
population of the city has increased
from 500 to 1000 by reason ofthe camps
near by, more policemen were needed
especially when a portion of the police
were of on vacation.
Mr.. Trimyer urged that the Mayor
had full authority and discretion to APP
point additional policemen if he deem
ed it necessary.
Mr.. Greene said the measure was
| merely precautionary one, and would
cost very little.
Mr.. White moved to lay the ordi-
nance on the table, which was agreed
to, ayes 10, noes4.
The chairman submitted the an-
nual report of the sinking fund COM

of STATS 5S. In presenting the state

rents were 1851 less this year than for
the year ending May 81, 1897, caused
By the loss of two butchers at 1920 per

less from FISH bench S44. The only re.
sources of the commissioners are from

Washington Has Not Yet Heard Directly
From General Miles.
WASHINGTON, July Washington
IL entirely without official news as to
the landing of troops on Porto Rican
soil, but the report from st. Thomas
saying the Stars and Stripes had been
hoisted at Ponce, on the south coast, is
fully credited.
Little attention is paid the story
from Madrid saying that landing
was attempted at Bahia Honda and
the Americans were repulsed. It is
believed the Madaid government has
news that Miles has landed, and, fol-
lowing its usual custom. has fastened
to claim q victory, intending to let the
public know the truth gradually.
If the report of q landing near Bahia
Honda, however, had come from any
other source. it would have been cred
tied, as the unofficial experts had made
up their minds that General Miles
would probably attempt . landing
near there. The exact point which it
was supposed General Miles would So

ST. THOMAS, July 26.-The United
States troops have landed on the island
Of Porto Rico, near Ponce, on the
south coast of the island. It is reported
that the troops experienced considers
BILE difficulty in effecting landing.
Up to q late hour no details Of the
landing had been received here, and it
is possible that there will be no more
news during the night. The Spaniards
are said to have made extensive prep

with those struggling inhabitants for
freedom, and say to Spain continue
your hell on these Islands.
To the victors in war always come
great moral obligations. In the case
of the PHILIPPINES, as with the Caro-
lines, the Sulus and the Ladrones,
and Puerto Rico, the United States
owes special obligations. Moral law,
asking for peace for years to come, in
sists that liberty be given the people
of these unhappy Islands. 1t insists
that we must be their protector
they be annexed to the United States
and be given that boundless freedom
we now enjoy. 1t insists that we, as
a Christian nation of free people, es-
tablish schools and other progressive
institutions in the unhappy land of
the east and west and use every exer-
ton to raise those people from the de-
graded condition in which they haye
been kept for centuries by Spain. Des-
tiny has given these Islands to us, as
the most progressive of Nations. for
these purposes, and for the peace of
the world, and the obligations of Des-
tiny will not be violated.
The American possessions in the far
Fast will be, in years to come, mon
ument of American progress and CIV
ilization and of the victory of Admiral
George Dewey and his men on the
morning of the first of May, 1898.

REPUBLICAN, TICKET,
We MUST KEEP THEM,

Elsewhere in this issue Mr.. Turrell
takes the stand that if we annex the
PHILIPPINES it will be alright, and if we
do not the United States will lose
nothing.
Aside from the vast commercial in
terests Pacific coast generations to
come will have in the PHILIPPINES, in
case they are annexed, we find con-
elusive reason for our retention in the
semi-o&cial declaration of the Ger
man government to the effect that
while it does not propose to object to
our retention, or to the retrocession of
the Islands to Spain, that government
will insist upon obtaining one or more
of them in case any other disposition
is made of the archipelago. The dec
laration of the German emperor means
that the inhabitants of those Islands.
and particularly the insurgents in the
island of Luzon, which has more area
than has Ireland, can hope only for
self-rule under the protection of the
United States, or as territory belong
ing to our Union. An effort to estab-
lish an independent government there,
as Aguinaldo, the insurgent chief, has
already proclaimed, would invite aq-
gression on the part of the maritime
powers interested in the far East, and
consequently would prove perilous to
the worlds peace.
