REPULSE THE ENEMY.
soIdiey at Camp Mabry Is Sent to the
 Mountains.

Austin. Tex, August 2.-Almost the en- tire detail of soldiery at Camp Mabry were sent into the mountains to the west of the city this morning at daybreal1 to n- tercept an imaginary army approaching the camp from the north. The movements upon the part of the defensice forces to repulse the attack was spirited and in one or two instances attachments had to fall back for several miles, making their last stand on the camp grounds, where rein forcements came to their assistance, and successfully replused the enemy.
 The advance guard was in constant com muncation with General Macaskey at the camp headquarters by field telegraph, and this department of the soldiery was given thorough and most satisfactory test, many of the messages being transmitted fifteen miles under the most adverse cir cumstances. The troops returned at noon from their morning march. tired out but well satisfied with their days labors. Those troops that did not participate in the maneuvers in the field this morning were required to have drills this after noon. The latter part of the afternoon was given over to band concerts.

DEAD LETTER BUSINESS
 BECOMING ENORMOUS

ters by which the number of undelivered
 letters could be reduced. including the advertising of unclaimed matter, the giv- ing out of information as 10 the proper method of addressing letters by postmas- ters to their local newspapers, and the charging of double postage on all mat ter deposited in the mails without re- turn address thereon. Some newspapers which have the benefit of free county cir culation through the mails print notices of letters uncalled for as news items. The sending out of cards of instruction by the division of dead letters and the dis semination by postmasters through the local newspapers. of information as to the proper method & addressing mail are the best remedies thus far suggested Postmasters are being encouraged in giv- ing information to the newspapers as sug- gested, and newspapers have the thanks of the postoffice department for the man. ner in which they are cooperating in the effort to bring about this much needed reform .ff

THE DEPARTMENT IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SOME SCHEME TO LESSEN THE DAILY MASS OF DEAD LETTERS.

Washington, August 2-(Special)
 How to effect a reduction in the enor- mous amount of unbelievable letters and packages which are being received by the division of dead letters, is a matter which Assistant Postmaster General DeGraw llas been giving much attention since the dead letter division was placed within his Jurisdiction. Over eleven million pieces of undelivered mail were handled by the division last year. and the average num- her received each day is now between thirty and thirty-five thousand. MT. De- Graw believes this numbr Is excessive and could be greatly reduced by the use of ordinary care by patrons of the postal service. Not only are the writers and addresses put to great inconvenience and trouble by the non-delivery of their nalss but the pecuniary loss Is consdrablS, as during the present month alone over two thousand dollars for which no owners could be found, were tuued into the fed eral treasury. Unfortr1ately, the greater part of the mont"ry loss falls upon per sons who arelpsost in needs of the funds.
 Failure c,. the part of the writers to place tn .fr addresses on letters and pack ages is the principal cause of the losses. Mail matter bearing the return address of the writer Is not sent to the division of dead letters, but returned directly to the sender in case of non-delivery, and 1t Is by giving the widest publicity to the neg 1ect of writers to observe this simple pre- caution that Mir DeGraw hopes to ac- complish something towards the general adoption of the plan by the people. The post office department is now sending out cards upon which are printed the form of address to be used in mailing letters, postal cards. etc, suggesting that the card addresses of the writer be placed in the left upper corner of the envelope. One of these cards is being encosd in each dead letter returned to the writer. Good results are expected through this method, but of course only a portion of the people can be reached in that way.
 Many letters have been received at the postoffice department from postmasters In different parts of the country, contain ing assurances of cooperation in efforts to prevent losses of mail matter Various methods have been suggested by postmas-
