NEW SET OF STANDARDS.
Description of the Flags Adopted by
the War Department.

On the recommendation of Acting Quar-
termaster General Patten, the War De-
partment has adopted a set of stand
ards and regimental battalion and other
oolors for the army of the United States.
The changes made in the flags are in con-
sequence of the recent changes in the but
tons and ornamentation of the new uni
form recently adopted for the army. The
main feature of the new flags, we'll as of
the buttons and ornaments is in the rep
resentation of the coat-of-arms of the
United States. This coat-of-arms is the
great seal of the United States, and its in
corporation on the standards and cOlOrS is
for the purpose of making them more rep
resentative of the ma ton than is the case
with the present designs. and at the same
time makes them more uniform in general
design.
The new flags, according to the samples,
will be beautiful specimens of the art They
are made of the best quality of silk In solid
colors, and the United States seal and the
insignia and scroll inscriptions and other
emblems embroidered in colors in the
seal is the principal features of each of
the Standards the other emblems being
merely accessory. The different standards,
just adopted, are as follows:
The standard Of the Secretary of War is
scarlet with white fringe. and contains
the United States seal embroidered In
&C lors and four white stars, one near each
corner The cord and tassel are scarlet
and white intertwined
The cavalry standard is yellow and the
fringe and the cord and tassel are also
CT the same color. Under the embroidered
seal is a scroll in red, with the regimental
designation in letters of white.
The artillery standard is red, with red
fringe cord and tassel Below the seal is
the insignia of the arm-crossed cannons
above a yellow scroll containing the regi-
mental designation in letters of red.
The infantry standard is blue, with yell
low fringe and blue and white cord and
tassel. Below the seal is red scroll bear
ing the regimental designation in letters of
white.
The standard of the engineers Is scarlet,
with white fringe and scarlet and white
cord and tassel. Below the seal Is the in
sigma of the corps-a battlemented castle
embroidered in white and a white scroll
with the battalion designation in letters OF
red. -
The signal corps standard is orange, with
yellow fringe, and cord and tassel of orange
and yellow Below the embroidered seal
is the insignia of the corps-crossed flags
and torch-embroidered in yellow and white,
under which is blue scroll, with the deslg-
nation in letters of white.

CLAIM DIsALLoWED.
Two Mules Hired by The Government
Badly Injured.

The controller of the Treasury has sus-
tanned the action of the auditor for the
War Department in disailowing the claim
of Littlefield. Alvord &sCo. of this city,
for $3.50 for the loss of two mules furnished
the government during tie spanish-Ameri-
can war. The two mu8ss were hired to
the government at 81 day each for
transportation purposes between Gettys-
burg and Fort Myer, Va. They were
both so badly injured that one died and
the other was never fit for useful service
again. A claim for $3.50 was made. A
board of survey Of the War Department
decided that the mules had been injured
through no fault of the government or its
employees. but fixed the loss to the claim
ants at $275. The controller holds that in
this case the government was a bailee
for hire" was responsible for only ordi-
nary diligence in the care of the animals,
and that it cannot be held for the damages.
