MICH.) ALL COLORS KEPT IN STOCK BY AU Volunteer? Will See Service. WABHINOTOX, Aug. G.-The ques tion is being asked here MS to how long will the volunteers have to serve, or rather how long they will be per mitted to serve. There is a good deal of anxiety in the question for both the men in the field and thc represen tatives of their States do not want their ardor damped hy being kept in camp all summer, only to bc sent home without seeing any aotual service. I heard Colonel Robertson say once that after the second battle of Manas sas when he had not been in either he felt that he would never smell powder or evcu be called upon for garrison work. But he lived to see plenty of both. It is very likely that the boya uow at Fort Thomas and Camp Alger will likewise sec plenty of actual work. They may not fire their Springfields at tho enemy or charge a battery, but the chances are that they will have all the rest. Some will go on the memorable march from Ponce to San Juan, entering that city triumphantly and witness the hoisting of the stars and stripes. Others will be called upon for garri son duty at Havana and face the fever in other parts of the island. Fifty thousand alone will be needed for the Havana district, and it is not likely that any of those who served in front of Santiago will be sent south again until cold weather, if indeed they are ever sent at all. Tho Round Robin Bent to the ad ministration as to the condition of the men in Cuba has appalled the author ities, and they will be brought back to this country as rapidly as possible. Tho theory advanced by Colonel Roosevelt that only three or four regi ments will be needed in Santiago is not believed in Washington, and other men, composing a good-sized army, will be sent there for garrison duty. It would not be safe to leave the city open for surprise, either from the Spaniards or the Cubans. Army offi cials here believe that most of the volunteer force will be under orders for the full term of their enlistment. The administration is determined that Porto Ricans shall see the force of the American militia. It is not in tended that they shall feel it, but it will be sent there as an object lesson for the revolutionary element which is always to be found in Spanish American countries. Secretary Alger said to-day that all the immunes would be sent south and that most of the men now in camp would see service and hoped they would be patient under the restraint. It is possible that the troops scheduled and ordered fer Porto Rioo may not get there, but may be sent to Cuba instead. It will be necessary to have a force ready for Cuba the moment General Blanco is ordered to capitulate. It will not be possible to have the oities to be overrun by the Cubans, for this country is under bond practically to proteot the prop erty of the citisens there. Sis weeks at least will be required if not three weeks longer io get the Spanish army out of Havana, whioh will throw the ingress of our troops to that island to the end of September, by whioh time the rains begin to slaok and the healthier weather begins to set in. The theory is advanced also that the movement of troops to Porto Rioo is merely to acclimate them to the tropics before transferring them to Cuba. They ave certainly not needed in Porto Rico as there will be enough there when those at Newport News reach there to garrison the island. How About Coming Homet The volunteer soldiers and their friends are beginning to ask anxiously when the volunteers of the United States are to be mustered out of service. It is generally thought ! among the soldiers that they are to be relieved as soon as the war shall have terminated, but many are under the impression that the volunteers enlistad for two years. This latter arrange ment would probably suit officers with good salaries attached to their titles, but it would hardly please the bigger part of the privates, who make np the army. A private, speaking of the matter yesterday, said : "President McKinley oertainly stated when the call for volunteers was made that the men who enlisted would be mustered out as soon as the war was over. I oertainly think that most of the volunteers entered the army with the idea that their services were not to be required after the establishment of peace. If you talk to the men you will find that ^uite tho common idea. Wo certainly did not expeot to be sent ott to garrison places for a year or two after the war ended." In Georgia the soldiers are giving much time speculating on the time they wui bave to serve. Captain Kohlson, in Savannah, is quoted as follows in the Morning News of yester day : "There is nothing under the terms of enlistment by whioh a man can claim that he was to be discharged as soon as the war came to an end. The enlistment is absolutely for two years, withont reservation. If the war de part ront desires to use all the volun teer norccs for the full term of their enlistment there is nothing in the enlistment to prevent it. Of eourse there are many men who volunteered who did so to fight Spanish soldiers, and not to garrison places for a year or more after the war it? at an end. but they cannot claim exemption ana ask for discharges on that account. We are in for two years, unless the war department voluntarily sees fit to dismiss us honorably from the service or wc die or become disabled in ?onie way." Lieut, (irayson expressed thc samo views. "It is not a question whether a man likes to serve after the war is ended or not," said he. "I remember thc exact wording of the enlistment, and there is no ground on which to base a kick against such scrvico in a time of peace if thc Government secs lit to so use the volunteers. While there may be some misapprehension on this point the volunteers are will- i ing to go aud do whatever the <?overo ment calls on them to do. If peuce was declared to-morrow it is not the impression among thc officers and men at Chickauiauga that they will he soon mustered out of service. We rather expect that wc will he at least held in reserve to meet any emergencies which may arise. While it is generally feared that we will not get any oppor tunity to see active service in war in Cuba, we would uot bc surprised if we were used for garrison work ou that island or Porto Rico until ev rything becomes stable there. I dc not sec how anyone can question thc right of the Government to so usc thc volun teers under thc enlistment." There is some discussion of the matter in tho North, and the opinion seems to be entertained there that the volunteer forces.will not bo disbanded for at least several months after Spain accepts the ultimatum of tim country as to peace conditions. The feeling there is that the standing army ia to be increased to 100,000 men or more, and that the war department will be desirous of getting all this extra seventy odd thousand men and officers out of the present volunteers. In 1 Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines it is believed it will require for some months a force probably equal to half the entire volunteer force.-News and Courier. Admiral Cerrera at Norfolk. NORFOLK, TA., Aug. 5.-Admiral Cervera and his son, Lieut. Cervera, arrived here this morning from Balti more. They left Annapolis, where they have been prisoners of war for several weeks, on var?lo yesterday afternoon, having been granted special permission to visit Capt. Conoha, commander of the admiral's flagship Maria Teresa, and the other Spanish sick and wour ded at the naval hospi tal h' re. The steamer few her bunting in honor of the Admiral anda launch lay at the pi'.r t)'receive the distin guished prise nen. Lieutenant Com mander R. M. G. Brown, retired, met the admiral and his son as they step ped off the steamer, and it was with difficulty that they pushed their way through tho crowd. At the naval hospital the Spanish Admiral was received by a guard of honor and at once conducted to Capt. Concha's room. ThiB was the first time they had met since the fatal dash out of Santiago harbor. The meeting was a pathetio one, the Admiral end Captain embracing one u a other like children. The admirai then visited Lieut. Noval, of the Pluton, who lost a leg, Drs. Nicoli of the Yitoaya, and the scenes were equally affecting when their former chief entered the ward where the Spanish sailors are. Their faces lit up and they embraced him as best they could, their joy being plainly visible. The Admiral took lunch with Medical Director Clebourne. Admiral Cervera and his son lunched with Commodore Farquhar at the navy, being taken there by Medical Director Clebourne iu his private car riage. Col. William Lamb, Capt. W. H. Murdaugh and Ex-Spanish Vice Consul Humphreys called out and paid their respects. The party re turned to the naval hospital and Capt. Concha was again visited, the Admiral and his son spending the remainder of their time with him. At psrting with Dr. Clebourne the Admiral paid him a high compliment on the courtesy, care and attention given the Spanish officers and men. At 5 o'clock Admiral and Lieut. Cervera left for the Bay Line boat to return to Annapolis. Several invita tions to visit nearby watering places were extended, but was declined with legrets. Both the Admiral and his son were attired in civilian drei?, ?nd attracted little attention from those unaware of their presence in the city. - Onr expenditures on account of the war during the month of July were about $30,000,000, the receipts on ac I count of the new war taxes about $14, 000,000. Thus the war may bo said to have added to tho deficit for the month of July by about $16,000,000. At such arate the $200,000,000 provided by thc bond sale would last for mou than a year. In other words, war expendi tures are running at tho rate of $360, 000,000 a year and the new war taxes are yieldinc at the rate of about $14, 000,000 a i ?on th, or $168,000,000 a year, so that the new taxes and the $200,000,000 loan would appear to prcsi?? together a war fund for the year of $368,000.000, or a little more than enough to meet the expenditures of the war even if it should he contin ued for a year, provided expenditures did not exceed the rate they resched for July. Hut to all intents and pur poses the war is over, and next month will not improbably mark the begin . ning of a rapid decline in war expen ditures. $100 Reward. $100.

July 7, 1898.-The days aro still fine and the hight pleasant. Kvon herein ? the Land of Flowers we have to usc n blanket at night to keep comfortable, as the salt breeze is all that ono could wish to make sloop sweet and refresh ing. There are not as many mosqui toes hero as there are at Camp Thom , ?is, and so fur not one of the much dreaded saud flies has made its ap- ! pearance ?ince we came here. Po licing the camp here is a very easy job, and all the kitchen garbage is ' hauled and dumped into the river, j where it is carried out to sea. To-day is pay day. and every one is looking forward to getting furloughs and loaves of absence to have a big time and spend his money as soon as ; possible and get tho most fun out uf it, as this war has so far boon one Big picnic, with sometimes real picnic din uers aud sometimes meals that arc not so "picnicky," but, all the same, tho boys are having a good time ut Uncle Sam's expense, and it really seems that some of them are going to be sorry when the time comes to break up and go home. The health of the camp has never been better since the regiment was or ganized. We are going to be brigaded with an Illinois and an Indiana regiment, which are to come up from Miami. All three of the regiments are to be camped on thc high sand pine ridge, where we arc, and we will be close together. The brigade officers have not yet been ap pointed or organized. It is rumored that Col. Alston will be made a briga dier general, and won't this be fino for South Carolina! At the same * imo no better selection could bo made or a more worthy nun appointed to fill tho place. The drill hours here are so short that the boys regard the drill more as play than work, and the camp work is so light that the men lie around in tho shade and play cards and other games for amusement, more than anything else. T. B. LuMPKIN. Cat Her Throat With a Batcher's Knife. CENTRALIA, MO., Aug. 3.-Death probably will ring' down tho curtain before morning in the final act of the Havens tragedy. Cora Havens this morning cut her throat with a knife. It is doubtful if she survives until morning. Hers is the third suicide. She is the girl who, from extreme bashful ness, refused to marry her lover, C. F. Fait, a young farmer living near her father's home in Boone County. They had been lovers since childhood, but scarcely a word passed between them, as when she waa near him her tongue refused speech. He finally proposed and she accepted him, but when he begged her to name a day for the wedding, she put him off. Her mother and father endeavored to pre vail upon her to name a day, but she steadily lefuBed, stating that she was afraid; that she dreaded marriage. Firu.lly she set July 5 as the date. Tliere was no sign of weakening on her part until a few days before the oeremony. Then she told her mother that she oouid not marry Fait, although she acknowledged that she loved him. At the day of the wedding drew near sho grew nervous and was given to fits nf violent weeping and repeatedly begged her mother to allow her to Again poq pone the date, but her mother wr.s obdurate. On ?he day for the wedding she told hex mother that it would be impossible for the ceremony to take plaoe. The wedding guests arrived and the groom was present, when she flatly refused. Coaxing and throats were equally in vain, and, driven desperate by repeated postponements, young Fait wont hume and swallowed morphine. When found he was dead. The suioide preyed on the mind of the mother. She constantly reproach ed her daughter for her action. The mother brooded over the subject night and day, changing from a merry farm wife into a morose and gloomy woman. Her husband feared that her mind was giving away, and so he watched her carefully; but early on the morning of July 12 she eluded bis vigilanoe and slipped from the house. She was soon missed and the hus band and daughter began a searoh for her. She was found, lying face down, in a shallow pond in tho garden. She had waded into tho water and then laid down and deliberately drowned ? herself. The suioide of the mother brought the reproaches of her father and neighbors on the girl. Gradually a feeling that she was responsible for the death of her lover and mother came to her. She became despondent and was given to fits of mclanCu?ii?, DCIUUUI, speaking to any [ one, and becoming more retiring than ! ever. Her father endeavored to cheer her* up, but tho two tragedies had broken him down and he was not muoh comfort to the girl. ThiB morning the girl could bear it no more. She was in the kitchen, and, taking up a butcher knife, with the edge of a razor, she drew it across her throat. It almost severed her jugular vein. The blood spurted in a river from the gaping wound and when discovered she was unconscious, hav ing bled almost to death. - Mrs. Carolina Croft, formerly Carolina Abigial* Brewer, of Boston, has left $100,000 to two prominent citizens of that city for investigations to find some way of curing cancer, con sumption and other diseases now re garded as incurable. * STATE NEWS. - There are six candidates for (.'en gross in tho Fifth District. - The crop reports from every sec tion of the State arc very encouraging, - A York county boy, Will Ervin, lost his life in Cuba with the Hough Hiders.
