Although rumors were plentiful __ yesterday throughout the camp that the First would be ordered to Mobile in a day or two, this how- F■. . . ever, proveg, upon investigation, to be untrue. Sunday night a supply of under wear was received into the commissary i department, and every man in camp has been supplied with a couple of suits of underwear. As yet no uni forms have arrived, but they are ex- II peeled every day. I Yesterday morning Lieut. LH. | Kenan, who was appointed first lieu tenant of Company A several days •go, was reappointed quartermaster for the camp, and at once entered upon . the discharge of the duties he has be* I » come familiar with by years of experi- I ence.

Inevitable destruction awaits the fleet unless it turns back to Spain, a thing the navy department does not expect. Il it is the intention of Ad miral Cervera l> come to the relief of General Blanco and undertake to break the blockade at Havana, he will be met by Bcbley ;if be contin ues to hang about the Caribbean sea then our squadrons will, make a joint counter movement on i».

In bis dispatch he also stated that if a wrecking apparatus were sent him be would be able to raise a number of the Spanish warships sunk during the battle. The admiral thinks that there are several of the gunboats which can be easily raised, repair.d and made use of. In view of this cablegram request, the war department today baa been hastening the preparations to dispatch the war transports now on the Pacific coast to Manila, and they expect litem to be able to leave San Francisco Dy Thursday.

Mr Editor: The catd of Mr. W.l E H Searcy, Jr , which appeared ini your paper of lhe 14*h iost, merits »o. lice only for its misstatement ol facts-1 He charges that because a fi fa was I issued against Col. Candler that that is proof Chat said fi fa ie unpaid jwhicb is false He charges that I fought Bryan and Sewell, nominees of the Democratic party, which is false. He charges that Col. Candler did so, which is false He charges that because Mr. dußig non is for Col Candler that I am also, which is false. • - He charges that Mr. dußignon is on Col Candler’s campaign committee, which is false. He chargee that Col. Candler is iw ' favor of monopolies, which is denied by the record of his whole life, and hence ie false. *. He charges that I don't pay my tixes, which is false. He charges that I am a money lend er. Thecniy truth in thja cha.-ge is to the extent tbal I am connected with a bink chartered by lhe state ,qf" Geor gia, for the purpose of loaning money ; otherwise it is false I don’t well eee how he could have gotten more misstatements in so short an article The bold assumption by Mr. Searcy, Jr , for all responsibility for this dis picable publication ie in strange cou- I trast with bis admission to me, that - his falher bad searched the record, and which fact is also known tooth- ers. Hie invitation to me to “come out into the open” was entirely unneces sary, for he well knows that I am al ways open and outspoken in all my saying and doings and don’t have to “come out” for I am always there, while he hides behind the paper.

New England Spice. In the year 1603 the merchants of Bris tol, England, fitted out two vessels for Virginia, whidh then embraced New Eng land. It would puzzle the reader to guess for what commodity they were sent. These vessels, the Speedwell and the Discoverer, were to load with sassafras, which has been termed the New England spice. Sassafras is of little account today, but in the seventeenth century it was esteemed for its fabulous medicinal properties, and ita.cost was proportionally gxfeat. It sold for 8 and 5 shillings a pound and some times for more. Sassafras, it is said, aided in the discov ery of America, since Columbus smelled the odor of this wood and bark—the Id* dfans had been cutting some of the trees —and was thus enabled to convince his mutinous crew that land was near. It was on the Massachusetts coast, where the sassafras tree grows abundantly,'that the crews of the Speedwell and the Discov erer obtained their supply. The sassafras, found over a wide stretch of country, rarely attains the dimensions of a large tree and ie commonly little more than a shrub. In the middle of this cen tury there was growing in Cambridge, Mass., a tree more than 60 feet in height, the largest and most beautiful tree of its kind known in New England. * The owner of the field in which this fine specimen grew, finding it in the way of running a straight line wall, out it down and dug up its roots. Little oared he that sassafras root rather more than a century ago was worth |2,000 a ton and was esteemed a panacea for nearly every ill that flesh is heir to.—Youth’s Companion. Why He Didn’t Care. A boy was taking his father’s breakfast in a breakfast can, when another boy came ap to him and gave the can a kick. "Do you care about me kicking that can?” asked the newcomer. "No, I don’t,” replied the other boy. “Do you now?” said the former, giving the can another kick. “No, I don’t,” answered the latter. "Do you now?” cried the infuriated bully, giving the can such a kick that it knocked the bottom out. “No, I don’t,” again replied the boy. with the can.

Idttlo Salt Became Commander I ' ; Maria’* Meaaanger. Tmrt charming Cleveland favorite, Gregt-Filkins, who wfll bo so pleasantly remaubexed in “Shore Acres,” is now supfiftrting Charles Coghlan in "The BoymBox.” She lathe wife of Lieuten ant wmmonder Adolph Marix, the judge advqMte of the naval oetfrt of inquiry wbi& investigated the destruction of tho batwship Maine. Lieutenant Commander Mar* was formerly the executive officer of tft Maine,' and was continued as such untilvclthln three weeks of the time the battßship was cent Ao Havana, when he was fataohed for shore duty. * Wien Commander? Marix was first as elgnwl to the Maine, he and Miss Filkins had dust become engaged to be married, and the,-naval officer.was much in dove with;the lady. Commander Marix desired a sh|p’s messenger and ordered a second lieutgnant one'day to range up all the lads ■ In tftb ship, that he might select a mes sengWfrom them. A dozen youngsters soongtood in Commander Marix’s cabin, all a*er to be examined, for to be mat- , renMr for the executive officer was a ow etedftonor. Im .the row of lads Commander Marix notieftd one little fellow staring with wide openSyes at a picture of Miss Filkins on his Mk. This somewhat surprised him, and it pleased him too. When this young ster’* 5 turn came to be interrogated, he stepped forward, but did not remove hie ( eyes Worn the photograph. He answered intelligently, but somehow his gaze could not be diverted from the lady’s picture. Finally the commander asked, "Do you know-this lady, young man?” •MSSftlMlfat Ped th ° Uttle “How do you know Miss Filkins?” "My mother washed for her for nine years, sir. ” It is needless to say that the little ap prentice was given the post of messenger to the lieutenant commander. This boy’s name was Kogel, and about 18 months ago he was lost overboard in a storm off Cape Hatteras. A great wave boarded the ship and sent tho lad into the sea. Four or five men sprang overboard in the midst of the storm to rescue the lad, and all were saved but poor little Kogel, who was sucked down by the heavy sea and never seen again. It is a noteworthy fact that two sailors of those who went overboard in the storm after this boy were lost from the ship for over two hours and finally were saved, after having been almost washed aboard of her by a great sea.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
