Theatrical circles were stirred to-day by a persistent rumor that Joseph Haworth, the actor, and until recently Viola Allen's leading man in The Christian," was one of the possible victims of the Windsor Hotel fire. As the story started, Mr. Haworth was said to have been at the Players Club with some friends in the' early part of Friday after noon. He is said to have left them to visit the Windsor Hotel, where a friend was stopping, and where Mr. Haworth occa slonally lived. He was not again seen. Several efforts were made to-night to find him In some of his accustomed haunts, but without success. Jsqulry made of his most inti mate friends as to his whereabouts was equally futile. At the Players Club it was said that Mr. Haworth had riot been there Friday afternoon, as the rumor alleged, and no person thre could recall when he had last seen tho actor. Guuter May Have- Perished. NEW YORK, March IS. Archibald Covering Gunter, the well-known novelist, was a patron of the Windsor Hotel, and it is feared by friends who have not seen him since the fire that ho lost his life, with his child. Col. Thomas Ochiltree said to-night: "Mr. Gunter was In my apartments an hour before the fire, and I have no doubt that his body will be discovered In the ruins of the hotel. He was a very large, stout -nan, and was a constant sufferer from asthma and would find it difficult to make his escape through the smoke." NO 310 HE 110 DIES FOUND. Rulm Still Too Hot und Dangerou for Searcher to Begin Work. NEW YORK, March 18. Through the Incessant rain to-day, their efforts hindered by a choking smoko that arose from the half fiuenched ruins, more than two hundred men from the building, police and fire departments sought, but with only half satisfying results, for bodies of persons believed to have perished in yesterday's fire. Most of the time the smoke was so dense that the workmen could scarcely see their hands before their faces, and the heat from the mass of debris, glowing red In places, held tho rescuers almost beyond its limits. Besides the remnants of the walls left standing were so shaky and threatening that it would have been dangerous to allow the men to work about the mass of riveted iron and brick. Efforts were concentrated on clearing away the debris, removing weak walls, drilling the chimneys and other parts of the walls for blasting and making the way safe for the men to dig in the ruins for the bodies. No more bodies were taken from the seething mass of ruins to-day. It is believed the men will be able to proceed with the grewsome search to-morrow with more satisfactory results. Several fire engines had kept their stations all night long throwing heavy streams of water onto the ruins. Occasionally a mass of llame would struggle up from some unnoticed spot like a bubble and burst away as the streams were played on It. Through the day explosions of gas punctured the continual pumping of the engines. CROWDS OF SIGHTSEERS. The scene of devastation in the immediate vicinity of the fire can scarcely be Imagined. liroKen ana D ck.cu w.nuo reea aoors, emasnea railings, uiri anu general debris surround almost every house. Countless thousands of spectators, pouring from every street and avenue and from every transit line that passed near the scene of the great holocaust, and from the private carriages as well, packed the surrounding thoroughfare all day, pressing as close to the ruins as the restraining police lines would permit and straining their eyes in hope of catching sight of seme ghastly nart of the spectacle. One hundred policemen held back the crowd. At Intervals the lifting smoke showed the fire engines puffing almost solemnly and their silent attendants at their sides. Beyond, where all eyes sought to reach, rose two gaunt columns of masonry, all that remained standing of the hotel. J. M. Sullivan, the electrician of the hotel, cald there was nothing wrong with the fire apparatus. When the fire started he, two engineers, two firemen and an oiler, a painter, two carpenters, a coal passer and a steam fitter were in the subcellar. He said that as soon as they knew there was a fire they started the fire pumps, which worked perfectly. They then drew three of the fires and turned the croton water Into the boilers to prevent an explosion. The six englnes goln g a t th time were shut off, but (Con tin ncdn Seventh l'sse.)

MANILA, March 19, 8:30 a. m.-The Filipinos In force attacked a company of the Washington volunteers at Tagulg last night. Two companies of the Washington and Oregon regiments were sent to the as sistance of their comrades and drove the rebels back in front of the Twenty-second regulars, who also engaged the enemy. Two American soldiers were killed and an officer and thirteen privates wounded. The enemy's loss was severe. The island of Cebu has been made a sub district under Lieut. Col. T. R, Hamer, of the First Idaho Volunteers. The other officers are Capt. William T. Wood, of tho Tenth regulars, collector of customs, and Lieut. Thomas F. Schley, of the Twentythird, port captain. Ensign Everhard has been relieved as port captain of Hollo by Lieut. William B. Hanna, of the Montana volunteers. The United States battle ship Oregon, Capt. A. S. Barker commanding, which left New Y'ork Oct. 13 last, has arrived here. Law ton In Command of Division. MAN1IA, March IS. Tho entire American force has been reorganized, two divisions. of three brigades each, being formed. Gen eral Lawton to-day assumed command of the first, with General King, General Ovenidilne and General Wheaton as brigade commander?. General MacArthur's division is the sec ond with General II. G. Otia and General Hale as brigade commanders. A separate brigade will be assigned to provost guard duty, consisting of the Twentieth Regiment and eight companies of the Twenty-third regular infantry. The correspondent of the New Y'ork Herald at Hollo says: "At Negros island a commission, with Colonel Smith presiding, is drafting a constitution on simple lines, placing the government in the hands of the natives, excepting the customs, postal and telegraphic service, military and police matters and external politics. Juan Araneta, a prominent native planter will become president. The native troops will become gendarmerie at a fixed scale of wages and with special stations and barracks. "After a conference here between General Miller, Commander Walter, of the Concord, Lieutenant Commander Cowper and prominent natives on board the Plover, it was decided that Cowper should cross the lines and negotiate a settlement with the rebel?, who are much reduced -in numbers owing to desertions. Should this result be reached, the bottom will be knocked out of the revolution." WILL DELIVER ANOTHER IJLOW. General Otis About Ready to Strike the Filipino Hard. WASHINGTON. March 18. General Otis Is planning another blow at the insurgents in execution of his general scheme of hastening the ending of the rebellion in Luzon before the advent of the rainy season. The fact appeared quite incidentally in a cablegram received from him, in which he replied to an inquiry from the War Department relative to the discharge of the volunteer soldiers serving In his army. These soldiers are entitled by the promise of the War Department, and, perhaps, by the terms of their enlistment, to be recalled to their homes as soon as they can be relieved by regulars. General Otis said that the men were willing to stay In the Philippines as long as they could be of active service, and then he, added that he was about to have some work of the first Importance for them, indicating that another general movement forward was In prospect. This understanding is confirmed by the report from Manila to the effect that another column, in addition to that of Wheaton's, Is being formed under Lawton's lead, and It is believed that this will be pushed rapidly northward from Manila, inclosing between itself and Wheaton's column the largest neighborhood of Manila. I SPANISH PRISONERS. Representation from the Madrid Government Through M. Cambon. WASHINGTON, March IS. The Spanish government, through the French ambassador, M. Camton, hus presented to the Str.te Department, a representation as to the condition of the Spanish prisoners held by the Philippine Insurgents, setting forth what they consider serious results arising from General Otls's recent prohibition of efforts by the Spanish authorities to secure the release of the prisoners. The statement Is said to be not a protestation, but more in the nature of observations on the "unfortunate" conditions, with a request that some sort of relief may be aftcrded. Reference is made to the action of General Otis in forbidding communication across tha lines, also of the necessary suspension of efforts by the American force-s In behalf of the Spanish prisoner because of the armed conflict with Agulnaldo. How far the condition of. the prisoners Is detailed Is not known, but it Is urderstood that the number Is placed at about 6.000 and that the seriousness is heightened by the presence 'of women and children. ' The hope Is expressed that In the Interest of humanity some effective steps

may be taken to secure the release of the prisoners. Miss Clara Barton has received the fol

lowing cable from Marquis Vlllabos, president of the Spanish Red Cross: "Negotia tions begun for pecuniary ransom of the prisoners In the Philippines interrupted by General Otis, because he feared the sums offered would be employed against his troops. We pray you to earnestly Intercede with your government, to Insure triumph of humanity." The cablegram has been communicated to the secretary of war. MADRID. March 13. A cable message received from General Rios, former commander of the Spanish troops In the Philippines, says the situation of the Spaniards at Manila Is so critical that they all desire to return home, the Americans, the General adds, rendering their sojourn In the Philippines impossible. The Spanish steamer Luzon left Manila yesterday for Carthagena taking a number of Spanish soldiers and 120 officials. The minister of war. General Polavleja, It Is announced, has received a dispatch from the committee of the Red Cross Society of Geneva giving him notice of tho convocation of its general assembly for the purpose of appointing delegates to negotiate for the release of Spanish prisoners in the hands of the Philippine Insurgents. Saluted the Spanish Flag. GIBRALTAR, March 18. The United States cruiser Ralt!h tailed from here for New York this afternoon, homeward bound from Manila In order to be put out of commission. Thp cruiser hoisted the Spanish ensign end fired a Kilute while passing ti Spanish' squadron, commanded by Admiral Camara, off Algeslras. The Spanish flagship Carlos Qulnta thereupon hoisted the American ensign and returned the salute. Dewey May Return Soon. RUTLAND. Vt., March 13. George Dewey has received a letter from his father, the admiral, in which he tays he Is In good health, although somewhat fatigued. The admiral expressed the hope that his task will be finished before long. Charles Dewey expects that his brother will arrive in Washington on or before June 1, and will soon thereafter vls't his old home in Vermont. The Alleged Traitor. SAN FRANCISCO, Cab, March 18. The advices that Corporal John W. Hayes, Company D, First California Volunteers, turned traitor and was killed In the Philippines, is supposed here to refer to a man named Haze. There was no J. W. Hayes in the regiment. Haze served in the United States, navy, and was said to be a brave soldier, but fond of liquor and rather erratic Light Batteries Ordered to Manila, WASHINGTON, March 18. The light batteries which have been ordered to Manila are: Battery E, First Artillery; now at Jefferson barracks, Missouri: Battery F, Fourth Artillery, now at Fort Adams, and jBattery F, Fifth Artillery, now at Fort Hamilton. The Oregon at Manila. WASHINGTON. March lS.-The Navy Department has been advised of the arrival at Manila of the battle ship Oregon. In a cablegram Admiral Dewey reports: "The Oregon and the Iris arrived to-day. The Oregon Is in fit condition for any duty." NO SENATOR ELECTED. Adjournment of the Joint Convention of the California- Legislature. SACRAMENTO, Cab, March lS.-The one-hundred-and-fourth ballot for United States senator has been taken without choice, and the joint convention adjourned after being in session Fix consecutive hours, during which time nineteen ballots were taken. The proceedings were marked with much confusion, the lobby invading tho floor of the assembly chamber. At the end of the Eeventh ballot to-day a resolution providing that when twelve more ballots had been taken adjournment be taken sine die, was adopted by tho close vote of 61 to 58. The nineteenth ballot to-day gave the following result. Total number of votes cast, 120; necessary for choice, 61. Barnes (Rep.), 18; Estee (Rep.), 1; Burns (Rep.), 30; Grant (Rep.), 30; Scott (Rep.), 4; Patterson (Rep.), 4; Devriea (Dem.), 1; Phelan (Dem.), 6; White (Dem.), 24: Rosenfeldt (Dem.), 2. The journal for the day was then read and Speaker Flint declared the joint assembly adjourned. The Legislature, by concurrent resolution already adopted, adjourned at midnight. Unless the resolution adjourning the joint assembly be set aside, no ballot for senator can be taken. It Is not thought that the action suggested can be taken as the same vote which supported the resolution would be east against an attempt to reconsider It. THE HOT SPRINGS RIOT. Sheriff AVilllanii nnd Deputies Held for Grand Jury Action. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 18.-The coroner's Jury In tho killing of Thomas Toler, chief of police; Thomas Goslee, police sergeant; E. J. Hart, city detective, and Louis Hlnkle, In this city Thursday, after being in session six hours, rendered a verdict against Sheriff Robert Williams and Deputy Sheriff Coffey Williams and Ed Spears and Will Watt, embracing the following propositions: It was not Justifiable homicide or manslaughter, but all should be committed to jail without bail to await the action of the grand Jury, which meets in about ten days. The verdict was rendered at 5:00 this evening. ANOTHER SATELLITE New Heavenly Body Found Revolving Around the Planet Saturn. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March IS.

TWOANGRYM

HOT EXCHANGE OF F.PITHETS AT THE STANDARD OIL HEARING. Saturday's Proceedings Enlivened by Vice President Archhold, ot the Great Trust, nnd Attorney Flagg. THE "MAGNATE" IN A FURY THREATENED TO EXPOSE THE METHODS OF THE LAWYER. Then the Air Became Heated with Such Expressions as "Contemptible LIarr "Cowardl Low-Llvedr MR. M0NNETT ALSO INVOLVED nESENTED AS INTIMATION THAT WITNESSES WERF. HIRED. Little Progress Made by the Ohio At' torney General In Securing the Information He Desired. NEW YORK, March lS.-The hearing In tho case of the attorney general of Ohio against the Standard Oil Company was continued here to-day, with John D. Archbold, of the Standard Oil Company, on the stand. Mr. Archbold, replying to Mr. Monnett, said the Standard Oil Company of Ohio Is carrying out the order of the Ohio court to withdraw from the Standard Oil Trust as speedily as possible. "Was not the entire Interest of the liquidating trustees committed to one attorney?" asked Attorney Flagg, for the complainant, "and did he not vote for all their Interests in the stockholders meetings?" "The liquidating trustees," he said, "have never voted since the dissolution of the trust. Before that they did vote for officers of the Standard Oil Company." A number of other questions were asked as to the duties of the liquidating trustees, and then Mr. Cline, for the Standard OH Company, objected to Mr. Flagg asking questions after the attorney general had completed his examination. Commissioner Brinsmade ruled that only one lawyer should conduct the cross-examination. "Did the officers of the company make any reports to the board of trustees of the trust company, after the decree of 1SD2?" asked Mr. Monnett. "I object," said Mr. Cline. Commissioner Brinsmade told Mr. Arch bold to reply, and he answered: "I don't know what he means, and I don't think he docs." ' "Did the defendant company know off! cially of the meeting of March 21, 1S92, when the trust was dissolved?" asked Mr. Mon nett. "I don't know," replied Mr. Archbold. "I suppose some of us knew about it individu ally." "Did the company oppose in any way that resolution?" "Whatever action was taken by the com pany was in careful compliance with the ruling of the court." QUESTION EVADED. "You evidently did not understand the question," remarked Mr. Monnett. "Well, I'm not to blame for that," said Mr. Archbold, and he requested that his an swer stand when the question was repeated. "Was not the defendant company present at that meeting by some of its stock own ers?" "Doubtless, some of the stock owners were present. I don't see any sense in the question." Nearly every question asked was met by an objection by counsel. Mr. Monnett tried to show by the witness that the Standard Oil Company was as effectively represented at the meeting of March 21, 1832, as it was at the formation of the trust in 1SS2, but he could not frame a question proof against the objections of the counsel and the ruling of the commissioner. At last he gave up the attempt and asked: "To your knowledge. has any act or effort been made by the de fendant company to disentangle Itself from the trust, except to fall in with the reso lution passed on March 21, 1S32?" "The company is absolutely disentangled from the trust and it has done no act not In accord with absolute disentanglement from the trust." "What has the defendant company done to disentangle itself from the trust?" asked the attorney general. "It ha's managed entirely Independently of any suggestion from it and apart from It. It has acted entirely in accordance with the order of the Supreme Court of Ohio." "Was that the only way in which the company could have covered its connection with the trust agreement?" asked Mr. Monnett. "I think It was the best way." Mr. Flagg suggested several questions and the commissioner reminded him of the ruling that only one attorney should conduct the cross-examination, and Mr. Flagg appealed in vain to Mr. Cline. Then he suggested that he dictate the questions and that Mr. Monnett should ask them. Commissioner Brinsmade decided that he could not sanction that way of "whipping the devil round the stump" and a recess of five minutes was taken that counsel for the prosecution might hold a consultation. SALE OF CERTIFICATES. When counsel returned to" the hearing, Mr. Monnett took up Mr. Archbold's statement of yesterday, that the effect of the selling at once of the trust certificates by the liquidating trustees would have been disastrous to the business generally and to the shareholders, who could not have protected themselves. Mr. Monnett asked what shareholders were meant. "Holders of certificates of the Standard Oil Trust," was the reply. Mr. Archbold said yesterday that such a sale would have thrown thousands of laborers out of employment, and he was asked how that would result. "Any disturbances In the trade and any Interruption In the production of oil, such as must have followed a sale of the stock and property, would have been disastrous." he said. Several questions along the same line were excluded, despite the protestations of counsel that they were asked to show the animus of the defendant company. "There was no reason why you could not have sold the stocks?" asked Mr. Monnett. A "I do cot know. The method dsteminri

on was considered the best and In strict

compliance with the order of the Supremo Court of Ohio. We were so Instructed ty counsel. It was for tha best Interests of all concerned." "Why not have sold the defendant com pany's stock as well as have sold the property they were directed to sell?' asked Mr. Monnett. "Because it would have resulted. In great loss to the smaller shareholders in tho trust." "Does not the fact that three-sevenths of this defendant company's stock still remain subject to the order of the trustees make this defendant company still a part of the trust?" asked the attorney general. "I don't know what you mean; I don't see any sense In the question," was the reply. After recess, Mr. Elliott announced that Mr. Archbold would like to answer a question that he had declined to answer in the morning session.' This was the question: "Is it not a result of this plan that you have narrated, of what you called in your answer a liquidation, that about three-sevenths of the defendant's stock is still subject to the disposal of your board of trustees?" "It Is not," replied Mr. Archbold. "After the liquidation there was no stock of the corporation remaining In the hands of the trustees, either in their hands or under their control." While Mr. Flagg was suggesting something to Mr. Monnett, Mr. Archbold spoke to Mr. Elliott. Mr. Flagg overheard part of the talk and said hotly: "I am not in the habit of receiving such treatment from witnesses." Mr. Archbold leaned his elbows on the table and retorted: "I'll have something to say to you presently, Mr. Flagg." SENSATIONAL INCIDENT. "You must havo been drinking, Mr. Archbold," said Mr. Flagg. "No, I haven't been drinking, except tea. I know what I'm about. Mr. Commissioner, I apologize to you, but that man (indicating Mr. Flagg) is ridiculous." Mr. Elliott asked the witness as to the statement made to the reporters on Friday that the company had destroyed sixteen cases of their books. Just after an order was made to produce them before the master. "The statement," said Mr. Archbold. "is not true. It Is false and malicious, and was made purposely and knowingly. It was made to mislead public sentiment." Mr. Flagg Interpolated something, and Mr. Archbold shouted: "You keep still or I'll expose you right here." "You expose," sneered Mr. Flagg. "You can't expose anything. "You low lived," began Mr. Archbold. "Can any one be low lived," asked Mr. Flagg, "in comparison with a Standard magnate? A decent man would be ashamed to walk up the street with you. You talk of me. You, you" "You are a coward and a liar!" shouted Mr. Archbold. "You are a liar!' responded Mr. Flagg promptly. "You are a coward, and all your millions can't help you. If you can expose any one, do it now." "You are a contemptible liar!" retorted Mr. Archbold. "Some one blackmailing you I suppose. You are always claiming that," sneered Mr. Flagg. While Mr. Archbold and Mr. Flagg were thus discoursing Mr. Elliott appealed to Commissioner Brinsmade. Tho commissioner invoked both to be quiet. Mr. Flagg was the first to recover his composure. He lit a cigarette and walked up and down the room. When order was restored Mr. Monnett asked Mr. Archbold: "Did not your em ploye, McNlerney, testify that he burned sixteen cases of books, and did not the drayman corroborate his testimony?" "I don't know." "Did he not bum sixteen cases of books?" "Any testimony that he gave referred to tho accumulation of old matter and to nothing material to this issue." "la it not true that McNlerney was dis charged a few days later?" "I don't know. I know he did not deserve to work a moment longer for the company." REPEATED HIS TIRADE. At this point, despite the protest of Mr. Brinsmade, Mr. Archbold repeated his tirade against the attorney general. "This man," ho said, "gives out false and malicious statements to such papers as will publish them. He got a lot of fellows of low station and semi-anarchists to furnish the testimony he wanted." "Were those low fellows your own employes?" asked Mr. Monnett?" Mr. Archbold dodged the question. "I know one man was an Anarchist," he said. "You know all about them. It was you who hired them." That aroused the attorney general, who had, so far, kept his temper well. "Do you mean to say," he demanded, "that I hired a single man to give colored testimony?" Two or three times he repeated this question, but Mr. Archbold did not reply. Finally Mr. Archbold said: "Your whole conduct has borne evidence of malignity. You brought in testimony that was untrue and kept out the testimony you knew could prove it untrue." "Mr. Archbold," Interrupted the commissioner, ''you really must" "Yes, I know," answered the witness, "but i can't stand it. This man has misrepresented the State of Ohio, my native State, long enough, and It is time he was rebuked." Mr. Bennett then obtained the ear of the court. He made a long argument in favor of striking o:t all the last part of Mr. Archbold's evidence. Mr. Cline replied, and the court decided to strike out all but the first question and answer, M,r. Archbold's contradiction of the published" statement of Mr. Monnett. Then Mr. Monnett got on the record an answer from Mr. Archbold that all he knew of the burning of the sixteen cases of books and of McNierney's testimony was by "competent authority." Mr. Monnett made a brief speech explaining that he represented the State of Ohio. An adjournment was then taken until Monday at 10 o'clock a. m. ADVANCED $5 A MONTH.

CONSTRUED IV THE INTEREST 01 VOLUNTEER SOLDIERS. Decision by Treasury Controller That Gives Extra Pay to Those Who Enlisted "for the War Only. MEMBERS OF HOSPITAL CORPS PLACED ON THE SAME FOOTING UN DER THE ACT OF MARCH 3. Volunteers Who Were Furlonghed and Given Extra Pay Are Not Entitled to Additional Gratnlty. VOLUNTEER TARS BACKWARD NOT ALL SENDING IN APPLICATIONS FOR THEIR EXTRA PAY. Letter of Explanation President Anx ious for Return of Troop from Cuba, Before Mokly Season Brglns. WASHINGTON, March lS.-The controller of the treasury, in a decision rendered to-day. holds that men who enlisted in vol unteer organizations, and who were after wards transferred with or without their con sent, by proper authority, to the hospital corps, and who served honestly and faith fully, become, for pay purposes, members of the hospital corps, enlisted for the war only, and as such on muster out and discharge from the service are entitled to the extra pay granted by the act of March S. lsW. In a former decision the controller held that the act of Jan. 12, 1D. only applied to volunteers who were mustered out with their organizations or afterwards discharged if longer held to service. The controller also holds that the act of March 3, 1803, applies to "enlisted men ia the regular army who enlisted subsequent to the declaration of war for the war only, as individuals, and If such enlisted men serve honestly and faithfully, grants to them the extra ray provided in the act on muster out and discharge from the service, whether before or after the passage of the act, without rgard to the muster out and discharge of tho organization to which they belonged, and decided that the provisa grants to enlisted men of volunteer organizations, who have served honestly and faithfully, the extra pay provided In the act cn muster out and discharge from the service, whether before or after the passage of the act of Jan. 12. 1&?. or the act ot March 3, 1SW, w ithout regard to the muster out and discharge of the organization to which they bonged. The controller ray: "I do not mcju to say that foMlers of volunteer organizations discharged with, their organizations, and who have received the one or two months' furlough mentioned In act of Jan. 12. 1MO. In lieu of which extra pay was granted, are now entitled to any additional pay, as I do not think they arc, either under the act of Jan. 12. P'J. or tho act of March 3, IS. The question whether said enlisted men. who are discharged at their own request and for their own convenience, are entitled to said extra pay Is not decided." Officials of tho Navy Department wlfrti it known to all the volunteer sailors who served with such credit during tho late war and received honorable discharges that It need not cost them more than the price of a 2-cent postage stamp to secute the gratuity In the shape of extra pay which Congress allotted ta them in tho closing hours of the lt session. Very many applications have been po jring in on tho Navigation Bureau for Information as to how the men should jroceed to collect their money. In reply to these the following circular letter is belns sent out by A- S. Crownlnshield. chief of bureau: -Sir-Replying to your letter requesting information concerning the extra pay allowed men and officers of the volunteer na y by the last Congress for rvlCM rendered during the war with S;iln. I have to ltform vou that your application should be addressed to the auditor of the .Navy -Department. Treasury Department, Washington, D. These volunteer sailors are, under the act of Congress, entitled to one month's extrai pay if they served within the United States and two months' extra pay if In tervice outside the United States. It will be for the auditor to draw the line of lnide and outside service, but it is said at the Navigation Bureau that vessels which served in tha Cuban and Porto Rican blockade and vessels which went to foreign ports will be regarded as having been outside of the UniteJ States, while those which piled up and down the coast will be held to have been within the Unltc-d States, although, of course, outside the three-mile limit, Tho men ehoulvl first address their inquiries to the auditor above named, who will furnish the Information as to further procedure. This is likely: to involve later on the tending to Washington of the discharge of the man and a state" ment of tho service rendered by him. The auditor will adjust all the clalm. and only In case of doubt as to the actual service rendered will the Navy Department be consulted. The Fresldent has become interested la having the volunteer troops in Cuba, hurried out of the Island before there Is any danger of Infection from yellow fever. He has given very rosltlve Instructions to tha War Department upon this matter, and the quartermaster's department is making a great effort to secure transports and have them ready to embark trocps within a few days. It is desirable to have all the troops destined for Southern camps landed In the United States before April 3, when the quarantine regulations of the South will make it very difficult to get tho men Into this country. The quartermaster's department has started several transports for Cuba which have not been In active rervlca of late. Arrangements have been rnada with the Ward line steamers to carry troops to th United States, and the riant Una steamers have been secured for the same purpose. General Humphrey, chief quarter, master at Havana, has been ordered to prepare the volunteers for embarkation, so there will be no delay when the ships arrive. Where it Is practicable the troops will be inspected and the bagage fumigated before leaving Cuba. The quartermaster's department has been working in conjunction with Surgeon General Wyraan. of the Marine Hospital Service, who is doing what h can to overcome the difficulties of quarantine and inspection inthe United Sutes.
