change in their finances last week. and

of April.
The troops are very anxious to get Or
ders to move. although they are accorded
the most courteous treatment by the cit

has no charms for the soldiers, because
all the danger of Spanish armada COM

the blockade lifted at Santiago, and the
city open to the commerce of the world
except Spain.
Collectors of customs were instructed
to clear American and neutral vessels

by big firms in this country of their in
tention to resume trade with Santiago.

A SORRY OUTFIT.

A Soldier Friend Gets Vehemenet in Their
Behalf and He Gets Into Trouble
The police department were quite busy
with women Friday, and IS result of
their labors, seven of these detected
females are now languishing in the Jail.
Elizabeth Blizzard was the first victim.
She was arrested on warrant charging
her with maintaining disorderly house,
She could not induce anybody to go her
bail, and was sent over by the Mayor.
Late in the afternoon Officer Smith led
a weird procession. There were five
women in the bunch, and several small
children. The women were Rebecca
Ann Turner, her daughter Tillie, Mrs.
Anna Dolan, and her daughters, Fannie
and Ada. There were two or three small
Dolans at the Mayors Office and bitter
tears were in evidence.
Mayor Appelgate could not arrange for
an immediate hearing, and he put the
outfit under one hundred dollars bail
each. None of them could furnish the
amount and over the hill the little party
wandered in care of Officer Smith.
While the women were in the Mayors
office, fellow in the uniform of a soldier
came in and talked to the unfortunates.
He was under the influence of LIQUOR.
Finally the drunken soldier could not
restrain himself and he wanted to fight
the man who made the complaint against
these women, and he cursed loud and
vigorously. The Mayor ordered the SOL
dier from the Office, and he said he would
go, because he would soon be drunk and
dlsorderly. But he did not staat without
saying to His Honor, 81 would like to
have you outside" This riled the Mayor
and he ordered Sergeant Betchner to lock
the drunken fellow up.
Betchner sprang to his duty. The SOL
dier resisted some and declared he would
not go. Don't you see,' he warned
Betchner, ''I'm soldier?''
II don't care if you are whole regi-
ment," valiantly returned Betchner."
you are going back here" and this rem
nant of the Delaware Infantry was soon
locked up.
This morning the soldier said bis name
was George Smith. 1t YVES not, as mat
ter of fact. 1t wes and is Ezekiel Russell.
Russell halls from Middletown, Del,
where he is stationed with his regiment.
He was off on twenty four hours leave,
which had now been over-run by couple
of days.
A more mild and meek soldier had not
been seen in this community for many a
day. Any Spaniard meeting this fellow
this morning would have had no fears of
him at all. He was broke, and upon his
promise to get out of town was released.

Commission, which was appointed in ac-
cordance with an act passed by the Leg
islature last winter, met at the State
House to day and organized. The body

City; Thomas W. Trenchard, of Bridge
ton, and Edward L. Riley, of Newport

Trenchard, secretary.
The object of the commission is to adj
Just the differences that have long ex-
listed between the oystermen along the
New Jersey shore and to suggest legisla-
lation calculated to prevent any trouble
over riparian rights between oyster
growers in the future. Claims of persons
holding deeds to lands lying under water
will be investigated, and when found to be
valid their value will be estimated and a
report made to the State Comptroller,
who will draw warrant for the amount
in favor of the claimant. 1t is thought
that the commission will be permanent.
