War Department In Favor of the Present
System.

Washington, June 23.-With regard to
the maintenance of the canteens at
United States army posts, the acting
secretary of war today said so far as
the department is concerned the mat
ter is settled in favor of maintaining
the present system.
When the subject was brought up by
the case of the Camp Meade canteens'
the matter was thoroughly investigated
by the department, and reports from
officers in all branches of the service
showed that from every standpoint the
army canteen as now operated is in
finitely better for the interests Of the
soldiers than the old system of post
traders and low groggeries on the out
skirts of the posts. The regulations
under which the canteen operates are
already formulated. and there VIII be
no need of further action by the depart
ment

NAPHTHA TANK EXPLODED,

Pieces.

The Launch Paul Jones Was Blown to
Pieces.
Mobile Ala. Jan. 2O-The govern
ment steamer Pansy touched at Biloxi,
Miss, this afternoon and reports find
ing on Breton island part of the stern
of the Naphtha launch Paul Jones; also
a yawlboat with bow smashed and
other small articles from the launch.
The condition of the wreck tends to
show that the Naphtha tank blew up
and tore the boat to pieces. The Pansy
met the Maud with Messrs. Jones and
Taggart on board. The latter visited
the wreckage and identified it as part
of the Paul Jones. No bodies were
found. The launch had the following
pleasure seekers on board: Joseph
Brinkham, Louisville; Miss Florence
Taggart, daughter of Mayor Taggart
of Indianapolis; Miss Margerie Wood
land, daughter of Geor"e Woodland
vice president of the Praise State bank
of Chicago; Col. Harry C. Yocum of ST
Louis; Miss Florence Yocum, his
daughter. The crew consisted of three
men, whose names are unknown.
The launch, which was owned by
Lawrence Jones, Louisville distiller,
was loaned by him to Mr.. Yocum.
News confirming the loss of the little
craft has been brought by oyster fish
ermen, who have known of it for more
than a week. The launch exploded,
they say, on or about Jan. I near Bird
island, and everything goes to show
that all on board We're killed at once or

the existing conditions at Samoa have
been again demonstrated Further infor-

in startling disproportion.
The Vossiche Zeitung assures its read

The Rneisel Quartette gave its first after

and Will be heard twice more during tho
present season in this series OF Its local
Appearances. Mozarts quartctte in d flat,
major. Saint Saens's sonata in G minor. for
vioncello aud piano and Boroiine's quartette
in MAJOR comprised tho programme. In the
last number which had not been heard
here before, the interest OF the hearers
was greatest although nothing could have
provided more delight to lovers Of music than
the playing OF the Mozart quartette and its In
trnsic beauty aud freshness. None OF Mozart's
music heard to-day reveals the composer
