The Fair Haven and Westville Rail- road company yesterday received off, cial notice from the Consolidated road that the tracks crossing the railroad at Bridge street must be removed by the 18th of this manth.

L"c~ta Ia Newport New.
Captain Charles G. Berkeley. formerly
in command OF Company x, Fourth
United States Volunteer Infantry DIM
munes), has decided to withdraw from
military life permanently and has open
ed a law office in this city
This decision on the part of Captain
Berkeley will doubtless be received by
many Of his friends with great surprise
as Well as pleasure. 1t was pretty vel!
understood that he had made I'D his
mind to continue in the service and he
was expected to so to the Philippines
with Colonel Pettits regiment, which is
the newly authorized Thirty-firs IN
fantry. This regiment is being recruit
ed in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Illi-
nois and will bc sent rto Manila to rein
force General Otis in the near future
Although Captain Berkeley has never
acknowledged 1t, it is pretty well known
that he was to have been major in the
new regiment and from thoroughly re-
liable sources it is learned that Colonel
Petit had offered the office to Captain
Berkeley. The officers of the old
Fourth 1mmunes will many OF them be
commissioned in the new command and
until yesterday Colonel Petit expected
to have the Newport News officer with:
him and 1t ;s4supposed that he wished
him to serve as a major.
Saturday night Captain Berkeley re-
&ceived letter from the colonel saying
that the old officers who We're going to
the philippines were assembling In

THE MYSTERY ELUCIDATED
THAT SPECIAL. MEETING; or BOARD
OF POLICE COMMIssIuSEKs
Question OF VIII" Called IL and Why Il,
Was Called and Nhc,h.r
1t VIII Me. t..

Mr.. W. c. Stuart, who is member OF
the board Of police commissioners, and
MIR. NJ. y. D. Doughty, whose term as
commissioner has expired, but who
holds over until his successor takes
his seat, have both read in the papers
about meeting of the board being
both anxious to know who called the
meeting and who is going to meet, as
neither has been notified.
The fact that Mr. Stuart has not.
been notified is a surprise, as it was
presumed he would be. inasmuch as
his position on the board is not cues
toned
tAll the Daily .Frcss knows about the
mysterious meeting which is puzzling
these gentlemen so. is that on last
Nv edncsday night-that memorable
last Wednesday nigh't-when Mcssrs.
Wilson and Robinson failed to get to
the board meeting in time to partici-
pate in the proceedings of the board,
Mf. wilson was urged to hold meet
ING then and there. This he refused
TO DO, saying it was too late He then
informed the mayor and Mr. +. S.
Robinson, both Of whom were very
much interested in what he was going
to 90 about it, that he would call a
meeting of the board for the following
"wednesday night
That is all there is to it. The mys
terry is elucidated
AFTER the meeting. however. Mr.
wilson Informed a representative Ct
the Daily Press that he did not think
anything further should be done by the
BOARD until the commiss ionelShtp
hight was settled. He did not, however.
recall his announcement that meet
Ing would be called for the following
Wednesday night, and at that time the
Mayor and Mr. Robinson were under
the Impression that the meeting would
be held
1T may be stated, also. that on that
occasion Mr.. Wilson expressed a desire
to have MIR. Stuart present He did
not include Mr. Doughty in the ex
pressed desire, most probably because
he thought that it would be best for
him not to act as commissioner until
the situation.
Now that is how the whole thing
stands. II there is q meeting. no one
Will be hurt. If there isn't a meeting
no one will be hurt. So there!

It once 50 that he could be commission

at once so that he could be commission
ed.
Colonel Petit was so sure that the
captain Intended 10 join the regiment
ehatiin ais letter he told Captain Berke-
.eS ta Sec if any recruits could be Sc
eared in this neighborhood for the new
command, explaining that they would
only have to so to the States assigned
to the mHstering-in O. the regiment to
be sworn IN.
IN answering tho letter yesterday
Saptaln berkeley told the colonel that
ne fad decided to re-establish himself
mere to practice law and said that he
mad given up all ideas of going to the
philippines. This will be great sur
prise to many. as 1t Is virtually the re-
fusal Of lnajorship. It is a demon
stratioh Of the captains belief in the
future Of Newport News.
The other officers from this State who
served with the Fourth Immunes will
it is understood, all try to secure com
missions in the Thirty-frst Infantry
with, perhaps, one or two exceptions. 1t
is also possible that recruits from this
section will be looked for and mustered
into the regiment. A number from Nor
folk can doubtless he secured and it is
known that there are several young
men in Newport News who are anxious
to serve in the far East. Possibly some
OF these young men will join the Thirty.
first. as they know the officers Of the
old regiment by reputation, if not per-
sonally.
Lieutenant ]. w. Barker of the regu-
lar army who has charge of the United
States recruiting Office in Norfolk, has
received orders from Washington tn
commence the work Of getting recruits
tof the new regiments authorized
by the President. and in which is the
command of Colonel Petit.
1T is expected that most of the re-
cruits secured across the Roads will be
Tor the Twcnty-seventh Infantry, which
is more of Southern regiment than
any or the others. This is the command
that was at first given to Colonel Petit,
but later he was assigned to the Thir-
ty-ilrst. Of which he is now in charge.
Lieutenant Barker has stated that in
securing these recruits the educational
qualifications of the applicants would
pected only to have a limited knowledge
OF the English language and to be able
to read and write, many Of the men who
apply are turned down because they
cannot meet this requirement.
The volunteers who enlist at Norfolk
now for service in these ten new regi-
ments will have to serve until June 90
1901, period of less than two years. In
the regular army the enlistment has al
ways been for the term Of three wears

WAR COMMISSIONS REPORT.
General Miles Severely Criticised, and the
Beef Set Forth As Properly Furnished
Ration Conduct Of War
Commended

Washington, Feb. s.-The war in
vestigating commission report will be in
the hands of the president tomorrow
The report dismisses the charges against
the beef furnished the army. 1t finds
that most of the beef was such as could
be properly furnished as IA emergency
ration, and never was intended to be
anything else. 1t says only two wit
nesses really testified against the beef.
General Miles and Major DAILY, his chief
surgeon.
The commission points out mass of
evidence submitted as offseting this
testimony. The structures General Miles
made in public on the beef, and his
public expressions in other ways, are
subjected to severe criticism. The
methods and manner of loading the
transports in Skaters Cuban expedition
are also discussed, and responsibility
placed for results.
As to the conduct of the war, con-
clusions are that everything possible
was done by the department in the
limited time it had in making its pre-
parations for war. The report says the
conduct of the war was worthy OF great
commendation.
The report says the evidence shows
that Secretary Alger exercised proper
diligence and his suberdinates were also
efficient, experienced and faithful

SHEEP INTERESTS
SERIOUSLY THREATENED
Wild Animals Inficting Great Losses to
Flocks-Legislature Should Revive the
Law Placing Bounties on Coyote
and Wolf Scalps.

Mr.. Juan Ortiz, prominent sheer
owner and merchant of Galisteo, is in
Santa Fe on business matters, and in
an interview with representative OF
the New Mexican, gave a gloomy view
of the new danger which threatens the
sheep on the plains and in the mountains
Of southern Santa Fe county.
He says that during the past two
years the number of wolves and cayotes
has greatly increased in that part of the
county, and packs of those animals are
ever on the wake of sheep tlocks, in
flicting on them considerable damage.
All the sheep owners complain of losses
caused by wolves and cayotes, and some
have lost large numbers of sheep. Mr..
Ortiz cited number OF instances to
show the extent of the depredations
committed, and also to point out the
possible results If the wild animals are
permitted toincrease without hindrance.
Among the cases cited are those of
Longinio Martinez and Sylvester Davis,
in whose flocks 100 sheep were killed in
one night by wolves last November:
William Freyse lost 40 high priced,
graded rams in the same manner.
All the herders report large numbers
of wolves and cayotes in all parts of
southern Santa Fe county, and that in
the night time the animals prow around
flocks and constant vigilance is required
to prevent the wholesale slaughter of
sheep.
Mr.. Ortiz thinks that the legislature
ought to protect the sheep interests in
some manner from the depredations of
wild animals, or otherwise the owners
will be subjected to continual losses and
large expenses for the protection of their
focks. The old law placing a premium
on the killing of wolves and cayotes
should, in his opinion, be revived and
made effective, so that the result might
be the complete determination of the
enemies of the sheep interests, not only
in southern Santa Fe county. but in the
entire territory, where undoubtedly the
same conditions prevail.

Washington, Feb. S.-The War de-
partment received today the following
from Manila of February 8, date: The
situation is rapidly improving. A re-
connoisance was made yesterday to the
south, several miles to Laguna de Bay,
and to the sotaheast for eight miles,
driving the struggling insurgent troops
in various directions, and encountering
no decided opposition. The Filipino
army is disintegrated, and the natives
are returning to the villages displaying
white flags. Near Caloocan, six miles
north, the enemy made stand behind
entertainments charged by the Kansas
troops led by Colonel Funston. There
was close encounter, resulting in the
route of the enemy with a heavy loss.
The loss to the Kansas regiment was,
Lieutenant Alfred, killed, and six men
wounded. On the 4th, Aguinaldo issued
a flying proclamation, charging the
Americans with the initiative, and de.
claring war. On Sunday he issued an.
other, calling all to resist the foreign
invasion. However, his influence
throughout this section is destroyed,
and he now applies for a cessation of
hostilities and conference; have de-
clined to answer. The insurgents ex-
pectation of rising in the city on the
night of the 4th was unrealizcd. The

mirable disposition of his troops, defeat
