8 GRESHAM MEMORIAL The New Hospital to be Dedi cated January 21. DUE OF THE ffl-IKT Mr. Gresham Will bt Present at the Dedication—A Fine Equip ment. The Gresham Memorial Hospital will be dedicated on the 21st ot January. Thi« is the date which has been decided upon by the building committee. The date had been set for the 15th, but it has-been changed and unless something happens to prevent they will be held on the 21st. The building has been completed and is one of the best hospital buildings in the south. It is located near the present city hospital builiding and will' be connected with it. The building has no front en trance and it will be necessary to enter the old building before going into the new one. Thlft was done so that the patients would not be disturbed. For some time past the present building has been entirely inadequate and only a few patients could be accommodated. The new hospital is well lighted and ventilated and the building committee hopes to have it heated by steam. In it wi'll be the eleeping roome of the nurses and physi ciane and in addition it will have room for a large number of patients. On the day set for dedication Mr. T. B. tiresham, the donor, will be in the city and in addition to the other speeches that will be made his son will also make one. Many prominent citizens will deliver speeches on that date and the exercises will be very appropriate. • Mr. Henry Horne, who is chairman of the building committee, is arranging the program and he is being assisted by Mr. Campbell T. King. MARKETS BY WIRE. Specially reported tnr The News by Tab ? bott & Palmer. ? . . i. —j a 1 « .3 ” SPOT COTTON. New York 5%. Steady. " NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES.

Some Startling Disclosures as to the Bat tle of Santiago, Admirals and captains are brave enough and keen tactici-ans, no doubt, -but the best part of the 'Spanish fleet would have slipped through somebody’s fingers that Sunday morning at Santiago if America’s fighting engineers bad not, by the hardest of work, overcome the obstacles imposed upon them by orders from the bridge. If the fighting had been against men more nearly kin —say English or German —un- der conditions identical with those off Santiago on the morning of July 3, some American hulks might now be rusting at the bottom of the tropic seas. For en gines were uncoupled, and many fires out, and steam so low that all the energy of the stokers was required to get it up again, The American ships had been off the coast for weeks, waiting for the enemy to come out. When the enemy came out the American ships 'were ready to shoot but not to give chase. This > va s no fault of the engineers. It was tue result Os a condition peculiar to naval' practice. In the navy the ship’s captain decides how many boilers shall be used, how much coal shall be burned, what pressure shall be carried. And the American captains at Santiago had everything in readiness, ex cept their engines and boilers. There were two exceptions—the Oregon and the Gloucester. —Arthur Warren in the Engin eering Magazine for January. THE FIGHTING ENGINEERS. Wovld Not Allow Salt Water to Enter Ore gon Boilers. Eternal v.gJance is the price of good ingiuis Rnocrt Mi.iigan, lighting engD necr, and the tren under Dim pat the Ore gon where the men behind the guns could t. stray ,hc test ships of bpvn.

This meant work for the ninty-four who had to steam her 10 Jupiter inlet. When the ship stopped they w Diked all the harder, for there was coal ing to be done and overhauling in .careful haste. Wnet the coaling was especially rapid, the officer and men -of iht engineer's ’’jrce v,ikeu twenty-four hours 01. cr.L The ship stalled when the bunkers were filled. ■ Not an ounce of salt water was allowed in the Oregon’s boilers. Milligan, writing from Callao to a. brother officer, said: “I fear that I am rapidly becoming the most unpopular man in the ship, because I am determined we shall not put salt water in the boilers, and to that end have insisted to the captain that, if necessary, we must cut down the' fresh water allowance for officers and men to the bare amount neces sary for drinking and cooking.”—Arthur Warren, in The Engineering Magazine for January. RECORDER’S BUSY DAY. Manv Dismissals, but a Few Fined--The Police Force. The sessions of the recorder's court this morning was one of the kind called “dis missed courts'’ by the station sergeants, who always enjoy seeing such days come, as they only have to write dismissed by the names of the offenders and are through. Henry Holt was the first prisoner called up this morning. He was charged with being disorderly but the judge decided that he wasn’t and he was allowed to go. Thomas Green was asked for $2.50 for be ing drunk, but not having the money, he wil have to remain in the station house for five days unless someone pays his fine. Jim King was tried on the charge of being dis orderly, as there was no evidence against him. L. Felder was also given his free dom after a trial for disorderly. Edward McKinney, who makes a practice of sleep ing in his hack, and who for some time •past has managed to escape the notice of policemen, was fined $2.50 this morn ing for going to slep in his hack last night. William Pye was fined $2.50 fpr sleeping in the depot and was fined $5 for disorder ly conduct. Eliza Threatt, who was charged with disorderly conduct, was re leased. and Otis Taylor, the woman who preferred, the charge, was fined $2.10 for malicious prosecution. The other case* were all dismissed. •Things are working smoothly at. the po ?ice station now. All of the patrolmen have been selected, the chief has returned and. the new. watches have oecn made up. At present all of the men are in good health and none of them are suffering from the malady which is prevalent all over the country—the grip. Seed Irish Potatoes.
