WITH SPAIN.
General Schwan Given Permission to
Return Home on Account of III
Heaith-Wives of Officers May go
to the Philippines-List of Killed
and Wounded.

New York, April ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: Orders
will be issued by Secretary. Root this
week formally directing the 6issolu-
ton Of the Eighth army corps. This
action will relegate to history the last
OF the army corps organized to wage
war against Spain. The Eighth army
corps has been in existence longer than
any other corps formed since the civil
war 1t has been merged into the d.
vision Of the Philippines with four de-
partments, presided over by general Of
ficers.
Brigadier General Theodore Schwan
will return home from Manila with
General Otis. He is not well, and in
the interest Of his health the war de-
partment has deemed il advisable to
grant his request for permission to re-
turn home.
Secretary Root has determined to re-
Scind the rule prohibiting the transpor-
tation Of wives of officers to the Philip
pines, in view of the fact that troops
are now to do garrison duty rather than
TO engage in expeditionary movements.
PROVIDED wives can show they have
friends in points in the island where
they desire to go, so that should their
husbands be called away they will not
be burden for the government to take
care OF, no objection will be made to
their transportation

FISHING In JAMAICA.
You Pound on the Boat and They
Come Aboard.
Chicago Inter ocean,

tCnlCdSO lnteT OCSdu-)
A gentleman who has returned from
Kingston, Janaica, tells how they
catch red snappeT5" All you need in
the way OF tackle is a club, with which
you beat a tattoo on the side Of your
boat. This seems to charm the fish
so that they leave their native element
and jump aboard in schools, almost
swapping the, boat sometimes. Here
is his account:
81 have Just returned from Kingston,
jamaica said he, where 1 saw many
interesting things, chief among them
to an ardent fisherman like mySelf-be-
ing the method Of taking the red snap
pers large fish common to the waters
around that island. Soon after my
arrival heard how the natives caught
these fish by knocking on the sides OF
their boats with clubs. which seemed
either to attract or alarm the fish so
much that they jumped out Of the
water in all directions and many fell
into the boat
I'm order 10 prove the truth or false
ness Of the account to my own salts
faction / made arrangements with one
of the native fishermen to take ne
with him on one of his midnight ex-
cursions, all the fishing there being
done at night on account Of the heat.
The moon was high when we started
for the fishing grounds, a couple Of
miles outside Kingston harbor. As
soon as we got there my boatman
ceased rowing and peered round for
signs of the fish. Suddenly he whis-
pered and pointed to a spot where the
otherwise calm surface was ruffied. as
if but a sudden squall.
"SQuali or fish, it was gradually ap-
preaching, and presently the rippleS
were all around the boat. Now, massa
Buclra, start de racket cried my boat
man, at the same time commencing
loud tattoo on the side of the boat
with his club. 1 followed suit, and in
an instant the air seemed to be full
of fish, coming from all points Of the
compass.
"One big fellow struck me in the
chest and knocked me fat on my back
in the bottom of the boat, where I lay
fioundering among the fish that had
fallen aboard
1T was come moments before could
scramble to my feet. When I did 50,
the school had passed on and the flight
was ever. At least a score Of the snap
pers had fallen on board. They were
large fish, resembling a sea bass. ex-
cept in color, which, instead Of being
black, was red
During the night we ran into sew
eral more schools, and the same per-
Torrance was repeated, excepting that
1 kept my seat and did not again min
gle with the fish in the bottom Of the
boat.
ION the way back to Kingston ask
ed the darby fisherman how they first
discovered this method of taking the
red snapper. He could tell me nothing
about it; all he could say being: Him
take dat way long time, massa.'
Il heard later that q Chinanan was
the first to discover that q red snapper
could be persuaded to leave It's native
element at the sound Of q club applied
to boats side, but how he found it
out nobody seemed to know"
