TROOPS IN HIS COMMAND.
Brigidicr General Greene to Command
—Fourth United States Cavalry 0r-
dered Ready For Seivics in the Phil-
ippines—Possible That the Red Cross
Society Will Send a Ship Along in the
Future.
San Francisco, June 8.—The men who
will compose the second Manila expe-
dition are pleased that Brigadier Gen:
eral Greene is to be their commander.
Besides being a splendid soldier, he
has a record as a diplomat and mana-
ger of business enterprises. He has
been decorated in Europe for bravery,
is an author of repute and an active
member of several scientific societies.
It is surmised that his diplomatic ex-
perience will be of service to General
Merritt in the government of the Phil-
ippines.
The troops which will be under his
command are the First Colorado vol-
unteers, the Tenth Pennsylvania vol-
unteers, part of the Eighteenth and
Twenty-third United States infantry.
and either the Utah Light Artillery or
the Third United States Artillery.
General Greene visited the camp of
the Tenth Pennsylvania regiment, and,
before making himself known to any
of the officers of the regiment, inspec-
ted the company streets, visited the
cook tents, looked in at the guard house
and examined the hospital. . He then
introduced himself to Colonel Hawkins
and spent nearly an hour in the camp,
seeing about the road, asking about the
condition of the regiment, asking about
the health of the men, their proficiency
in drill and the amount and kind ‘of
drilling to which they were daily sub-
jected. General Greene stated that the
China would :be his flagship and that
General Merritt would not accompany
the second expedition. ‘
Fourth Cavalry to (30.
Orders have been reCeived at the Pre-
sidio for the Fourth United States Cav-.
airy to make ready for service in the
Philippines. The instructions given to
Colonel Morris were to have six troops
go to Manila within two weeks. ”He
answered that the men Were ready
now. It was finally decided that the
cavalrymen should take horses to the
number of 400. If the animals are
transferred without much loss and
stand the climate in the islands,'an-
other regiment of cavalry will proba-
bly be sent on later. ‘
The court .martial appointed by Ma-
Jor General Otis has organized, with
Colonel G. B; Patt‘on, First'NebraSka,
president, and Lieutenant Ben‘erSmith
Judge advocate. One or the most in-
teresting- cases that" will come before
the'court will be that of John Camp-
'bell, officer in the Tenth Pennsylvania,
who has been under'arrest‘ever since
the regiment left Mount Gretna, Pa.,
for the alleged cutting of the breaches
of a negro striker who belonged to
Company C of the Pennsylvania Artil-
'lery,'which was then camped at Mount
Gretna.
General Merritt has ordered Company
F of the Washington volunteer regi-
ment to go to Angel island for garrisbn
duty. It is only a temporary assign.
ment, as the company has been prom-
ised it will be alloWed to go to Manila
in case its regiment is orderel tothat
place.
The total amount subscribel to the. .
Red Cross Society of California is new
839,120. Thirteen thousand bandages
for the troops going to Manila have
been packed, and ,7,000 more will be
ready by the time' the next expedition
sails. The women of the-entire state
are [taking an active interest in the
movement. Boxes of oranges are
daily received from the southern and
central counties. The Sam Yup Chin-
ese Society has contributed 112 to the
fund. *
A Hospital Ship.
The Red Cross Society of Oakland is
agitating for the purchase of a hospital
ship to be sent to M ila. It would
cost about $300,000. The National So-
ciety, it is reported, will sanction the
plan.
The City of Para, due from Panama
yesterday, is likely -to be one of the
third fleet of transports to leave the
city. ,

REBELS CLOSING ON MANILA‘
Foreigners Not Believed to Be in Im-
minent Danger. ‘
London, June 8.—-A diSpatch to the
Times from Manila, referring to the
fighting of May 30 and June 1, says the
Spanish loss in killed, wounded and
prisoners was heavy. But, the corre-
spondent adds, the most serious feature
of all for Spain is the defection of hun-
dreds of native auxiliaries. He adds:
“One native regiment deserted after
killing its officers and massacreing a.
company of Spanish infantry, and reb-
els' and former rebels on both sides
have been shot because they were sus-
pected of treachery to their respective
generals.
“The Spaniards are endeavoring by
every means to retain the rebels, who
are attracted by promises of pardon
and high ofiices.
“But General Aguinaldo's attraction
is stronger. He has completely sur-
rounded Manila by cutting the rail<
roads and holding the rivers by which
food 'had previously reached the city.
If the city is not starved into surren-
der the rebels may carry it, having
now an increasing number of rifles and
field guns.
“General Aguinaldo’s treatment of
the Spanish prisoners is exemplary.
Few excesses are reported except
where priests were mutilated before
being killed.
“Admiral Dewey is not assisting the
rebels, but it. is probably due to him
that Aguin'aldo's forces avoid excesses.
“Foreigners, with the exception of the
French nuns, remain in Manila, but are
ready to board the refugee steamers as
soon as necessity arrives.

Paul is still off Tompkinsville taking on
coal and supplies. Captain Slgsbee 1.3

from we conference in‘Washington,
and the order “up anchor" is expected
at almost any minute. The immense
amount of coal and’provisions put in
the St. Paul’s hold since her arrival
here last Friday leads to the supposi-
tion that the cruiser will be sent out

mored that she will take on heavier
guns, and; in company with the St.
Louis, Yale and Harvard, sail for
Spain. Nothing definite is known, how-

Another Decline in Wheat.
Chicago, June 8.—-A further decline in l
the July wheat delivery, occurred at
the opening of trade yesterday morn-
ing. The decline extended to the other
deliveries to 9. lesser degree. It reflect-
ed a weak English wheat market and
very favorable crop reports from the
wheat growing districts of the West.
The Kansas stategcrop report, made
public yesterday, proved a. record brea-
ker, putting the condition of winter

Northwest or Dominion government he
would not say. The whole outfit cost

Upon What It Depends. and
How it May Be wa‘ged.
The person does not live whose pulse
is not stirred by news of war. The man
does not ex1st who does not feel the
impulse to heroic deeds for which war,
afi'ords such a‘ field. But heroic deeds
and successful war depend, as do the
v1ctor1es of commerce and the counting
house, upon that perfect health that
allows the brain to move on free from
the countless" annoyances and irrita-
t1ons that sap nervous vitality and de-
stroy physical force. .
Irritation Of the mucous membrane,
as the result of the ravages of Catarrh
and various allied mucous diseases
which are so apt to‘accompany or fol—
low it, IS the most. fruitful source of
that constant irritation of the nerves ,
that. has checked great careers and
broken glant intellects; that has
brought the athlete to the grave and
the philosopher to the madhouse, for
consumption and insanity are common
results of catarrh.
But in Norwalk the great enemay of.
catarrh is at work. California Catarrh
Cure ls waglng successful war upon
mucous diseases. Colds are broken up,
tonsilitis is relieved, diphtheria. is
checked, bronchitis and consumption
are entirely prevented, and catarrh,
the source of all the first named dis-
eases, is cured; and California Catarrh
Cure keeps on its great work, curing
and to cure. Note- what it is doing
every day.
Mr. D. C. Croft, 11 East avenue, East
Norwalk, after suffering with catarrh
for years, tells of his relief as follows:
“Ifind that California Catarrh Cure
has relieved me very much. It keeps
my head and throat much clearer than
they had been for a long time, and the
relief is wonderful. Anyone suffering
from catarrh in any form will surely
find it an excellent remedy. It relieves
at once, and I believe the relief is per-
manent.”
Hay fever is entirely prevented by
the use of this wonderful medicine, and
when it is used colds never “hang on,”
but disappear promptly. For all mu-
cous diseases. All dealers, 50 cents,
three times as much, one dollar.
"* ABILITY OF rue; WEAK Misc. '1
Instances Whore Idiots Achieved We;
, derful Success.
Insane people and maniacs frequently
present ne'ofilia and great artistic ac—
tivity, and idiots frequently display
special aptitudes in which they become
superior to normal: men, some of them
becoming true prodigies, as. is shown
by Dr. Peterson in The Popular Science
Monthly, October, 1896, especially in
arithmetical and musical ability, with
a. particular inclination 'to imitate in
models, drawings, and picturesf the ob-
jects which they have before them.
One of the most curious examples of
this is “Blind Tom," a pure-blooded
negro, born in Georgia in 1840. Born
blind he showed no intelligence except
I He could not speak a.
word, but he could repeatanylsound
which he heard. Merely by «the aid of
sound he could repeat Greek, Latin,
German and English texts, however
long after. he had heard them recited,
could play on the piano from,memory
any piece, hoovever difllcultto follow,
and ihadlearned by memory five hun-
dred pieces of music.
Among cases of extraordinary mem-
oryin idiots, Morel cites a. cretin who

of all the persons who had died in his

the names of those who had taken part
Morel also cites the

To Clean shoes. '
Orange Juice is an excellent cleanser
‘of black boots and shoes. A slice of
orange should be rubbed upon the shoe
or boot, and as soon as it is dry should
.be brushed with a soft brush until .it
shines brightly. The inside of abaé
nana skin will be found most ”'th
for cleaning tan shoes, the skin beint'
rubbed all over. the shoe, which should
be carefully wiped with a soft cloth.
and then briskly polished with a flan-
nel cloth. Patent leather boots of
shoes. should never be touched with
blacking. They are the most difficult
of all boots to keep in good order, and
require constant care. A dampspongo'
rubbed over them, and an‘applicatlon
of a little sweet oil or vaseline after
they have been thoroughly dried will
keep them soft and bright, and prevent
them cracking.
