ARMY WILL RETURN.
BHAFtXB'S MBS EKBABKISO
POE REMOVAL SOUTH
The Secretary of War Orders That Mo
Time Be Lost in Getting the
Men Away from Cuba.
■
Washington, Aug. 5—A dispatch
from Santiago de Cuba says:
Major General Shafter has received
orders to move bis entire army north
at once. The six transports here will
take the first shipments and the em
barkation begics today, There is
great rejoicing among the troops.
From the moment Secretary Alger's
cable message was received ordering
the instant removal of the army north,
everything has been bustle antTactivi
ty at headquarters.
Other transports are expected here
shortly, and it is expected that 18
transports will soon be conveying our
soldiers back to the United States.
; Tbe Yale and Harvard, among others,
are understood to be onj their way
here. >
General Shafter’s orders for the
movement of his command provides
the following program:
"Tbe Third and Sixth regular cav.
airy, the First regiment of cavalry and
First volunteer cavalry(Rough Riders)
will be embarked at once.
"For tbe present tbe Ninth and
Tenth cavalry will remain in camp.
Only tbe private horses of tbe officers
will be taken The other horses will
be turned over to General Wood, who
remains here as military governor.
"All tbe tents will be left standing
and all the extra worn clothing and
bedding, which may possibly be in
fected, will be destroyed.
"The First brigade of Gen. Lawton’s
division under Gen. Chaffee will go
next.
"All the men able to ride will be put
on ponies and taken to tbe wharf. Tbe
others will be conveyed there in
wagons.
"All ths men who are suffering from
yellow fever or infectious diseases will
be left here. Every precaution will be
taken to provide for the safe and
healthy arrival of the men north.”
The volunteer regiments will next
be shipped in tbe following order:
First Illinois, First District of Col
umbia, Seventy first New York, Ninth
Massachusetts, Eighth Illinois, Thirty
third Michigan, Thirty fourth Michi*
gan.
No tenting or surplus baggage will
be taken back to the United States
A Fact Worth Knowing.
All of the so called stiengtbening
remedies, which enable a man to ac
complish more work when he is under
their influence, do this not by adding
units of force to the body, but utiliz
iog those which be has already ob
tained and stored away as reserve
force by tbe digestion of bis food, says
tbe Therapeutic Gazette. Kola, cocoa,
excessive quantities of coffee and tea,
and syuilar substances, while they
temporarily cause work done by nuans
of nerve force to seem lighter, do so
only by using up those units of force
which a man ought moat sacredly to
keep as his reserve fund. The tired
and exhausted condition of tbe indi
vidual who uses these stimulants,with
tbe object of acomplisbing more work
than his fatigued system could other
wise endure, is similar to that of a
banker, who, under pressure of fioan*
cial difficulties, draws upon bis capital,
his reserve fund, to supplement the
use of those moneys which were de
signed to be employed in carrying on
his business.

WRATHY WITH SHAFTER-
———
War Department Stirred Up by Ac
tion of the General-
Washington, Aug 5.-—The war de
partment was unusually stirred up to
day by the recent acts of Gen Shafter
and Col. Roosevelt, and the officers
have incurred the severe displeasure of
Secretary Alger and presumably the
president.
Gen. Shaftsr’s offense is bis action in
making public Kent's report describ
ing the conduct of bis division end
the letters written by Roosevelt and
tbe division and corps commander,ap
peal! ng to the commander general
for the withdrawal of their troops from
Cuba.
Col. Roosevelt has offended tbe secs
rotary of war by writing him a person,
al letter, in which be compares the
Rough Riders to tbe state troops, to
the latter’s disparagement.
Both Gen. Shafter and Col. Roose
velt have been severely rebuked and
censured by the secretary of war.
The letters referred to egflae in a
dispatch to the war department yes
terday, and a council of war was at
once held. It had been intended that
the Santiago troops should be with*
drawn as soon as yellow fever bad
been stamped oat, but now steps have
>eeh taken for tbe immediate move
ment of part of the troope to Montauk
Point, without delay, and in view of
the revelation made by Col. Roosevelt
and other officers tbe other forces will
be brought north with as little delay
as possible.
Volunteers Still Needed-
The thought is being thrown oat
that peace being in sight, tbe disband*
ing of the volunteers will good be be
gun. It may be that no great effort
will be made to complete the regiments
under tbe last call for volunteers, bat
it is safe to say that it will be qaite a
long time before the volunteers act
ually in service will be mustered out.
Os course just as soon as Spain accepts
our term's of peace, an armistice will
be agreed upon, and a commission will
be appointed to frame a treaty of peace.
It would not be wise to master out
any of tbe volunteers until the treaty
was completed and accepted by both
this country sod Spain. It will take
several weeks to shape a treaty, and
our Senate and the Spanish Cortes
may be a much longer time in ratify
ing it. .
But even after the treaty has been
ratified we shall have need pf a large
army. We shall need a great'many
soldiers in Cuba, a few io Porto Rico,
aud it may be many thousands in tbe
Philippines.
It is apparent that there ate going
to be some troublesome questions to
settle in Cuba, and an army will be
needed to assist in settling them. We
cannot accept the view of tbe situation
held by the Cuban insurgents, and
they do not seem inclined to accept
our view. Therefore, to establish snob
a government there as we propose, we
may need an army of 50,000 or more
men. How many shall need in the
Philippines it is impossible to say now
with any degree of certainty. - If it
should devolve upon us to hold Manila
and tbe surrounding country we
should have to have an army there
much larger than the one ge have
there now.
Tbe time, therefore, has not yet
come for talking about mastering out
any of the volunteers. They may not
see any more fighting, but they are
certain to see a great deal more service.
As a matter of fact only a few of them
have seen any fighting, much to their
disappointment, bat Spain saw enough
of them at Santiago to satisfy her that
farther fighting was not desirable.—

THINGS MADE OF WOOD PULP.
Car Wheels, Teeth, Coffins, Window
Panos, and Other Things.
Close rival to coal tar io adaptability <
to unexpected purposes io wood palp
or cellulose. Since it was discovered!
that excellent paper could be mace
from this substance word palp has
been used as a substitute, fraudulent
or otherwise, for iron, steel, wood*
stone, glass, ivory and ianomberable
other kinds of animal and vegetable
fibre Ao a material for car Wheels
the manufacturers have found it supe
rior to any kind of metal, being about
three times as durable as steel, and
much more elastic. When subjected
to great pressure wood pulp takes an
extraordinary hardness. It has been
found available as a material for pav
ing bricks, drain tiling and conduits
electric cables.
For ivory, which is becoming scarcer
every day, cellulose is tbe beat substi
tute that has yet been found. Today
it forms the material of the cheaper
billiard balls, and has been used suc
cessfully for the manufacture of arti
ficial teeth. When properly treated
wood pulp is practically proof against
beat and moisture; hence it has been
found superior to timber as a material
for telegraph poles and screws. Cof
fins, too, are often made of wiod pulp.
They are susceptible of a high polish,
loox as well as tbe finest wood, and are
much cheaper.
Cannon, too, and bicycles are made
out of wood pulp in Germany and
Chicago, while a Frenchman has
succeeded in producing a thread from
the same substance, which be declares
cab be worked up into all sorts of
fabrics. Another Frenchman has
produced wood palp carpet lining and
another again wood pulp aailolotb,
while a Vienna inventor declares that
hia wood pulp leather is superior to
animal leather in fineness and dura
>ility.
For resisting tbe action of fire and
water wood pulp appears to be a
success. It is need to make wearproof
paint for ships, fireproof, waterproof
>*por and evep stoves, which are eaid
;o be superior to iron ones. Wood
pulp window panes have been in use
for several years, particularly in
greenhouses, and in France portable
dwelling houses built of tbe same
material have been found a
success. Among tbe other ar
ticles made of wood pulp are
boats, canoes, cuspidors, pails,
flower pots, tables, chairs, bureaus,bar
rels, wagons, horse shoes and imitation
porcelain ware. Tbe manufacture of
silk from wood pulp is now an impor
tant industry in England and France.
The raw material is really the same
as that of natural ailk. x
It isonly a case of doing by ma
chines and chemicals what tbe silk
worm does because it cannot help it.—

Will Contest-
The decision of the state railroad
commission in reference to expres
companies will probably be contested
by the Southern Express Company.
The commission has decided that
tbe express companies must furnish
the stamp which tbe government says
must be attached to each package be
fore it is shipped. Tbe construction
placed by express companies upon the
revenue law is that the sender of the
package must pay for tbe stamp and
affix it, and they have been acting
upon this construction. As there was
doubt about the exackmeaning of the
law tbe commission will not bring
sails against tbe Southern Express
Company for uot furnishing stamps
heretofore.
The express company is given five
days in which to decide what course
it will pursue.
How to Lock Good.
Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all tbs vital or
gans. If the liver is inactive, yoo
have a bilious look ;if yoor stomach
is disordered, you have a dispeptic
look ; if your kidneys are affected, yon
have a pinched look. - Secure good
health, and you will aurely have good
looks. "Electric Bitters” is a good
Alterative and Tonic. Acts directly
on tbe stomach, liver and kidneys,
purifies the blood, cores pimples,
blotches and boils, and gives a good
complexion. Every bottle guaranteed.

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fobnia. Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
aa it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its benefieial
