posed sailing of each ship, and its des-
tination is determined here after consul
taton with the Surgeon General, who de-
cides to which quarantine station il shall
go. This Will effectually prevent confu
sion and overcrowding. Most of the troops
thus far have been landed at Savannah.
where the joint work of disinfecting and
managing the troops is performed by the
Marine Hospital surgeons and Colonel Bal
linger. of the Quartermaster's Department.
The latter has done especially efficient
work Yesterday he reported that Daufuski
Island. six miles from Savannah, afforded
exceptional advantages for detention
camps II is capable of accommodating six
regiments at time.
The Surgeon General has approved the
recommendation for the use OF this island.
and it is likely that large portion of the
troops will land there. Some of the troops,
especially those from Santiago and the
south side of Cuba generally, will go prob
ably direct to Northern ports.
Several efforts have been made to evade
the rigorous quarantine regulations by Off
GERS and others. but invariably without
success. In one case a colonel forcibly
took his baggage from the ship and sailed
for Tampa. The facts were communicated
to the authorities here Immediately, and
on the officers arrival at Tampa he was
met NTH orders from the War Department
to return with his baggage to the quaran-
tine station and remain there until dis
charged by the quarantine authorities.
The mustering-ou OF the troops will In
many cases take place in the detention
camps In order to prevent delay. The yell
low fever situation in Cuba is said to be
much better than 1t usually Is at this
time of the year. There are few cases
at various points, which is to be expected
as Cuba is never entirely free from sporadic
cases. but at no point is there as yet any
thing approaching an epidemic.

There is no longer any doubt Of the
combination. All Of the plants of any con-
sequence in the country have given op-
tions to tine trust and these will be CLOSED
Immediately. 1t is only now a question as
to how soon the promoters can get things
in shape to tranfer the property to the
trust
1t is now said that in addition to the
mills that are already in operation. it is
the intention Of the company to erect a
new mill that will cost in the neighbor-
hood of s. 000. 900. This will take the
place of several of the small mills.
While there is some speculation as to
who the officers will be, little is known Of
that as yet. as the combination has not
advanced sufficiently to make talk in that
direction authentic. When the options
have been closed, talk upon that matter
WILL be pertinent.
There will be in the combination about
twenty five mills and mining companies in
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana. Illinois, Min
nesota, Alabama and Michigan. These
mills have an annual output Of 1000, 900
tons of merchant bar iron, the rolled
product used by farming implement and
wagon makers. car builders and other kin
dred industries. In addition of the rolling
mill property there are six blast furnaces,
with an annual capacity of about 100000
tons Of pig iron.
The bar iron is made from pig iron, and
scrap iron. Some of the products Of the
combination will be spikes bolts, splices,
turnbuckles and skelp. and there will be
manufacture Of steel plates and sheets.
The gas and vapor stove manufacturers,
in session at the Hollenden, decided yes
terday to advance prices on vapor stoves
from Is to 80 per cent, according to grade
of product The reason they give is the
increased cost Of raw materials. All of
them profess entire ignorance of the pro-
ject to consolidate the vapor stove COM

4 Crank Arrested for Sending Love
Letters to Her.

Letters to Her.
New York. April IA wild-eyed and
unkempt man stood before Magistrate
Simms in the Centre Street court yester-
day and declared his love for Miss Helen
Gould. He said his name was Joseph vi
dal, and that he had no home. Neverthe-
less he whispered confidentially to the
magistrate that he and Miss Gould were
to be married, and while the wedding
would not be as brilliant as 1the Wander
bilt-Fair nuptials, it would MT fall far in
the rear.
Vidal was arrested for writing love let
ters to Miss Gould. They ere Of the most
impassioned character and arrived with
such frequency that the police were con-
suited and central office.dete9tives put on
the case. A peculiarity Of the letters was
that they were never stamped. For long
time Miss Gould's secretary paid the nee
essary cents due, but after a while she
came to know the handwriting and re-
turned them to the postoflce, authorities.
At first VidaIs missiyes had the tone
Of a suitor; then they became stronger,
and finally they were such as an accepted
suitor might write.
In court Vidal declared that he loved
Miss Gould, and her alone.
no man ever loved woman MORE" he
said. 1T would be impossible

the magistrate.

ture. We are not to meet for some time
yet" This with all seriousness.
Then you fell in love through the pic
ture?"
"Yes. that's It," replied the prisoner.
''She is SO beautiful; ah, so beautiful
Vidal placed his hand over his heart and
gave vent to several long sighs.
Vidal further said that, while he never
received letter from Miss Could she had
replied to his through the papers. He re-
fused to say what she told him. He was
committed to Bellevue to be examined az
to his sanity.

Rigid Precautions Against the In
PRODUCTION of Disease.

All the troops which are to return 1.-THE
United States for muster out are expected
to return before May /. Abou, thirteen
thousand returned in March, ard 1t Is
thought that twenty-five thousand more
will arrive this month. Every prscaution
is being taken by the War Department
and the Marine Hospital Service to prevent
the Introduction of infection from these
troops. Up TO April / the regulations OF
the Treasury Department required the DIS
infection of the baggage of the troops, and
over one thousand tons OF baggage were
disinfected in March. Since April 1. in
addition to the disinfection of baggage,
the detention Of all troops for examination
has been demanded by the Marine Hospital
service. The period of deteItion Is from
three TO six days. To prov,ie for the
camping of the troops in the period OF de-
tehtion the cooperation ot the Quarter
niaster General. the Surgeon General and
the Marine Hospital Service and General
Brooke in Havana WAS necessary, and
thorough understanding has bcca reached
bv these officers as to the course to be
pursued. Not every quarantine station has
facilities for accommodating regiment or
more of troops.
Those that have been and are now being
actually used for this purpose are the
United States stations at Dry Tortugas,
Black Beard Station, off the cast of Geor-
gia, and Egmont Key Station, near the
Florida State quarantine station at Mullet
Key. The troops when disembarked are
required to pitch their tents. This sum
ming and airing Of the tents is considered
sufficient, but II the tents are not pitched
they are disinfected.
Orders have been issued to General
Brooke not to permit any bedding or mat
tresses to come with the troops. The bag
gage Of men and officers is disinfected un-
der the direct supervision of the Marine
Hospital officers at each port.
As further measure Of corporation,
General Brooke is required to inform the
War Department in advance Of the pro-

BOY SHOOTS HIS FATHER
A Family Quarrel that Nearly
Ended Fatally.

Charles Greek proprietor OF the
Canon City and Silver Cliff stage
route, was shot and seriously woun-
ded Saturday morning by his is
year old son, Arthur Mr. Creek
lived with his family at what is
known as the half way house on
Oak creek. about half way between
Canon City and Silver Cliff, and
was considered fairly well fixed.
Since the above unfortunate af-
fair many stories are ahoat that do
not add materially that to family's
standing. Indeed it appears that
some mem bers from the various
family branches are doing time"
and one is almost forced to the
conclusion that they are careless
in their handling of fire arms, and
that shooting at one another has
always been common pastlme.
The bullet, a 45 calibre, struck
Greek in the right breast, passing
through the lung and liver, and
still remains in the body. The
chances for recovery are very small.
The young son. Arthur, voluntarily
surrendered himself to Sheriff
Hawkins, and seems quite uncon-
cerned about the crime.
The latest news from Creek, re-
ceived about one o'clock this after
noon, is to the effect that he was
still alive, with a slim chance that
he may survive.

Witnesses Say Unpleasant Things
About Canned Beef.

Washington, Feb. y. Before

Dwyer said he had heard many
complaints among his men in Cuba,
in regard to canned beef, and that
his own experience corroborated
the sta ements of the soldiers, He
suffered with vomiting and also
diarrhoea, as result of eating
canned beef.
Several other officers testified
along the same line. They also
told horrible tales of the condi-
ton of the refrigerated beef.
General McPhely. who was com
missary general in 1890. stated
that refrigerated beef was horrible
and he knew it. He, however
contradicted Egan's every state
ment before the board.

LAWTON WILL TAKE CHARGE.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Admin-

the situation at Manila. Day after
day passes with prac tically no pro-
gress in subduing the rebellion.
The insurgents are today appar-
emily as aggressive as at the outset.
Every day General Otis reports a
new list of casualties. Little at
tention has been paid to this by
the public, but the army officers
claim that these constant skir-
mishes will discourage the troops
and make them careless and unfit
for duty,
General Lawton is expected to
arrive at Manila on Sunday next,
and being veteran Indian fighter,
he will take charge of the troops
in the field. 1t is thought that his
experience in fighting hostile In
dians in this country will fit him
for vigorous campaign against
the insurgents.
