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.— Savannah News.

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.— New York Bun. 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.
