NAVAL MILITIA on THE LAKES.
Program of Practice Trips Will
Shortly Be Issued.

The Navy Department will issue an order
in a few days giving the program for the
naval militia practice trips on the great
lakes this summer. 1t is the plan to pro-
vide-each of the state naval battalions with
a practice ship and the Ohio battalion now
has he Hawk and the Michigan battalion
the Yantic, while the Illinois battalion will
soon have the auxiliary yacht Dorothea
which is going through the Canadian canal
to the lakes But in addition to this the
several battalions will be taken on board
the ship Michigan for drill on more ex-
tended scale The start on the Michigan
will be made about June s. the Ohio and
Michigan contingents first taking a cruise,
the vessel then taking on board the Illinois
men.
Inquiry has been made by the naval or
ganiZations of Maine and of Louisiana to
what facilities can be given them for
cruises this summer. But there seems to
be little present prospect that the depart
ment will have ships available for any
militia drills along the Atlantic coast or
gulf. There is every desire to keep alive
the organizations thus far formed, and the
naval authorities are hopeiul that some
means may be found later for giving facili-
ties for some of the coast battalions

THE CONFEDERATE DEAD
BIDS FOR THE REINTERMENT IN
VTTED.
Prominent Southerners Indorse the
Action Taken by the War De-
partment I'm the Matter.

1t is said at the War Department that
the orders recently issued for the renter
ment In Arlington cemetery of the remains
of confederate soldiers buried in different
parts Of that cemetery and the cemetery at
the Soldiers Home, have not been suspend
ed In consequence of the protests against
such action made by certain confederate
organizations in Richmond and elsewhere
Quartermaster General Ludington has re-
Piled to several letters received by him on
that subject to the effect that he has no
discretion whatever in the matter. The
Secretary of War having instructed him to
execute the law for the reinterment OF
these bodies in the manner described II ia
for him to do SO, without regard to his own
wishes or views to the propriety of the
action. Accordingly bids have been invited
Tor the work and will be opened and the
contract awarded in the course Of ten days
or two weeks
1here is by no means unanimity Of sentt-
ment among the ex-confederates in regard
TO this matter. The law was enacted by
congress at the instance Of several promi-
nent southerners including Senator Cock
rell of Missouri and ex-Secretary Herbert
OF Alabama. These two gentlemen indorse
the action taken by the department, and
1t is said that General Herbert is prepa ring
statement in explanation Of his position
IN the matter. One Of the points made
against the position assumed by the onno-
nents OF the interment in Arlington ia
that, Notwithstanding the long time which
has elapsed since the close. Of the war.
over thirty years, no steps have hereto
fore been taken for the removal of these
remains to southern cemeteries
1T is also said at the War Department
that no formal protests have been re-
celVed there from organizations of the
Grand Army Of the Reptblic against the
plan for the interment OF ex-confederate
soldiers In the national cemetery.
IT Is 1ntimated that some Of the ladies' Of
.me confederate Memorial Association,

soldiers at Richmond, win appeal directly

ton OF the Secretary Of War. or, at least

SEIZURE OF THE AJAX.
The State Department Received the
British Governments Reply.

The answer of the British government to
the inquiry of the State Department re-
specting the seizure at Union bay of the
wrecking vessel Ajax, which was engaged
in saving the American steamer Villa
mette, has just been received. AS was ex-
pected, it takes the ground that the Will
lamette was not wrecked in waters con
tiguous" to the United States boundary
line. a condition which the treaty makes
necessary to wrecking operations like this
1t appears that Union bay, the scene of the
wreck is more than 100 miles distant from
the boundary line, and in the light of the
treaty and Of subsequent decision of the
authorities it could not be regarded as
forming part Of the contiguous waters 50

be made the subject OF official remon-

have the effect of causing revision OF the
treaty provisions touching wrecking and
it is even suggested that there may be- by
joint agreement, a removal of all the re-
strictions upon wrecking operations, which
are not only vexatious in their application,
but frequently lead to loss of life and prop
erty.

Hesitate Over Strike.

hesitate over Strike.
LONDON, May 4.-There are further in
dications that the coal owners and mer-
chants are wavering in regard to the ad-
visibility of urging the miners to close the
pits The divisions among the men, too
are becoming more marked.
The Derbyshire Miners Association, the
membership of which is 10000, today unan-
imousiy passed a resolution against the
export tax on coal, but by small majority
decided not to stop work.
On the other hand. the Northumberland
delegates at a meeting at New Castle unarl-
1mously decided to support the strike
The Durham miners at meeting agreed
to abide by the decision of the national
conference.
The Lancashire and Chesire miners took
up similar attitude, while those Of York
sh1re voted against the strike, the feeling
being expressed that if the men agreed to
shutdown Of the pits the owners should
continue paying their wages

Strict quarantine is now in force against
Cuba, on account Of the appearance Of
yellow fever in Havana. Surgeon General
Wyman Of the marine hospital service, has
received notification of two cases Of fever
in Havana, and the Secretary of the Treas

A person arriving from Cuba at south

training and education of the surgeons in
the Philippines has had good results These
diseases and complaints indigenous to the
islands more successfully than when they

Another feature which he mentions is the
survival of the fittest. Men who were

service in the Philippine climate were. of
