Increase of Batteries.

The Government has purchased 1913
acres of land at Delaware City of Harry
c. Clark, adjoining the Battery there.
The property of Uncle Sam at Delaware
City is booked to become a t~hreebattery
post. Barracks aud officers quarters
are to be erected, and, in fact, the en-
tire plant for a three-battery post. 1t
is not likely, however, that the full
plan will he realized for IA year or 80,
as it must wait on an appropriation
from Congress. Battery l.. Fourth Ar
tillery, Capt. Carbaugh, is now located
at Battery Point. Two other batteries
are to be brought there when the post
is ready.
Major e. VanArsdale Andruss,
Fourth Artillery U. 5. A. whose head
quarters are at the Battery Point, just
below Delaware City is in command Of
the defences of the Delaware. In ad.
dition to Battery Point, his supervision
extends over Fort Mott, N. j. where
Battery II. Capt. Cummins, is located,
and over Fort Delaware, which is now
ungarrisoned, and is in charge of the
engineers, who are constructing a II
inch battery. This battery will be a
disappearing breach-loading rifle, the
strongest type of gun in the world.
Ultimately there are to be three com
! panies at Battery Point, two at Fort
Delaware and two at Fort Mott. AT
present Major Andruss is concerned
with the protection of the valuable
electrical and battery plants already
established.

letter written by him to Mrs. Sommer-

Mary was unfortunate but good true
woman, and asking her not to treat
Mary harshly.
The remainder of the evidence adj
duced in rebuttal was confined mainly
TO ESTABLISH THE REPUTATION
of Mrs. Sommerville and Miss Wilson
for veracity. 1t was at least as strong
as the impeaching testimony.
Under ruling of the board, the de-
Tense was confined to twelve witnesses
as to each. and the full quota was ex-
hausted, although several testified as to
both women.
They included minister. county
superintendent and teachers and about
ten attaches of the hospital.
One witness could not distinguish be-
tween veracity and chastity; another
thought veracity meant inebriety; an
other became hopelessly involved in
doubt as to the meaning Of veracity,
mendacfty and chastity
This resulted from strict adherence
to the approved form in legal practice,
which prevented counsel from making
explanations.

RENNES, August 1S.-A severe blow
to the military set it was when the
Schneidel dispatch was made known at
five o'clock this morning in the re-
fretories and hotels. 1t was source
of jubilation to the other side.
Col. Panizzardi trumps Col Schnei-
der's denial of his alleged letter by
writing and branding as forgery the
report that Gen. Roget said he (Pan4z-
zardD wrote to the late Signor Ross
mann. the Iralian ambassador, regard
ing the relations of Col. Schwartzkop-
pen with Dreyfus.
Col Schneider sends his contradiction
to the Figaro from Ems, and Col Pan
izzardi makes use of that paper in tele-
graphing to Rome to give the lie to the
whole of Rogets statement so far as it
dealt with the alleged report of Ross
mann. The Figaro at once telegraphed
both communications to Rennes, where
they were posted in the hotels for the
edification of the patrons.
The Austrian and Italian embassies
attest the genuineness Of the Schneider
and Panizzardi dispatches. MERCER
feels that he has thrown the fat into
the fire and he looked depressed and
out of countenance to-day. So did Ro-
get, who is a stronger man. notwith-
standing the tears he shed at the close
were tired and pale throughout the
tiresome humiliation.
