Where People Dress Alike.

In Yucatan, Central America, sisters
dress precisely alike, even to the tieing
of a bow, the turn Of a button, or the
flower in the hair. In the tropics large
families are the rule, and one may see
in that country girls in groups Of from
three to a bakers dozen who belong
to the same family, as their clothes
will show. 1t is thus easy to dlstln-
guish the members of a family any
where. In Anam men and women
wear their hair in the same way, and
dress almost alike. Earrings and fin
ger rings are worn by the women only.
The men and women of the Cree tribe
Of Indians dress alike, except the or
namentation of their leggings which
Is vertical for men and horizontal for
women.

United States Transports.

There are thirty-nine transports
on the service Of the United States
army, of which thirteen are chartered.
The Thomas, Meade, Logan, Grant,
Sherman Sheridan and Sumner are
considered the finest in the world be-
ing thoroughly equipped with electrical

TROOPS SUFFER GREATLY.

Long March IN Philippines Lay Many of
Them Low.
A dispatch received in Manila from
Candon, dated June 4th, says Major
P. G March's men of the Thirty third
regiment returned to Candon that day
by steamer from Apart. A majority
of the men are ready for the hospital.
They are thin and weak, having tray
eled $50 miles in the mountains, dur
ing which they suffered greatly from
hunger.
Of the fifty horses which started
with the battalion thirteen survived.
The remainder died on the march or
fell into canyons. The battalion prac-
tically collapsed at Plat, thirty miles
from Maguegarao, as the result Of
fevers and exhaustion.
Eighty-seven of the men were con
veyed from Plat to Maguegarao in bull
carts, and those falling on the way
were carried in litters by the Igorotti'
with the column.
