Wash i jtgtox, August 6—The war department has ordered the Urge fleet of transports at Pooce to proceed to Santiago, there to join with the transports already at Santiago in bringing Geueral Shafter’s army back to thia country. There are ten large transports in the fleet at Ponce, some of them, like the Mobile, having a capacity of 1,000 men. In all they have a capacity of 6,540 men. This with the capacity of the ships already at Santiago will give a carrying strength of over 12,100 men io a trip In addition to the transports an non need by Che war department yes terday as being now at Santiago, it now appears that the Orizaba, capacity 650 men, is also available. The Yale will also be brought into service io the course of a week or ten days. At pres ent she is to be utilised io taking Gen eral Fred Grant’s brigade to Porto Rico, after which she will return by way of Santiago and take on a load of Shafter’s men. With the arrival of Shafter’s army in this country, every facility will be given to the troops to recuperate. This will not only apply to the sick, but to the well, as it is appreciated that the hardships through which the men have gone must have taxed the vitali ty even of the strongest. There will be no yellow fever cases brought to this country, as such cases can be best handled witbout removal. The less serious cases of sickness .not involving contagion will be brought here if the patients are convalescing to a point where removal will be ad vantageous. Surgeon General Stern berg has in view Several points for pa tients'and convalescents. The actual hospital will probably be located at Montaak Point, where a field hospital for 500 patients is being prepared, in addition to the hospital equipments which General Shafter’s forces will bring along with them. But in addi tion to this, General Sternberg has in view two fine locations, where the bracing mountains and lake air will help convalescents to recovery. These points are Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, and Tadmy post, at Platte berg, N. Y. General Sternberg has no purpose* of making these points hospital camps in the ordinary sense of the word, where severe cases will be bandied, but only to make .hetk avail able for the convalescents already well on the way to recovery, who need good air and surroundings to bring them completely back to health. Each poet will accommodate some 500 to 800 men. Enterprising Druggists- There are few men more wide awake and enterprising than J. N. Harris & Soo and Carlisle & Ward who spare no pains to secure the best of every thing in their line for their many cus tomers.

She received the attention of the most skilled physicians, but their efforts proved fruitless, and the end came at the hour stated. The deceased was a beautiful and highly accomplished lady, and possessed the ad miration and respect of every one who knew her.

Dismuke, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. C. Smith and Mrs. Wilson Mathews. » r Our Slang Puzzled Hirn- Edouard Remenyi, the great violin ist, who recently died, used to say that some of the hardest studying be ever did in his life began after an experi ence he had in Detroit, says the De troit Free Press. “On my first tour of this country,” be delighted in telling, “I worked unceasingly to acquire a knowledge oi the language and got on fairly well. But the slang that I found so prevalent baffled me more than anything elsp. I gave a performance in Detroit one night and met with a reception that warmed my heart toward ber people. Among other things, this appeared in one of the papers next morning: “Here’s an ugly little bow-legged chap, whose clothes hung loosely about his ungainly person, waddled to the foot lights. But sakes alive! bow he did play the fiddle!* “Now I couldn’t make out what 'sakes alive’ meant, so I timidly ap proached a gentlemanly citizen, told him of my inability to grasp the mean ing of this slang, and asked him if the expression was intended to be com plimentary. “He kindly read it, and replied: ’Well, I should snicker.’ “I was more bewildered than ever, and from that time on made the study of slang one of my chief occupations.” I Isl To Cleanse The System Effectually yet gently, when costive or bilious, or when the blood is impure or 1 sluggish, to permanently overcome habi ; tual constipation, to awaken the kidneys ' and liver to a healthy activity, without ' irritating or weakning them, to dispol ( headaches, colds, or fevers, use Syrup o Figs.

The curi i oeity of two of the railway employees being aroused at the sight of jit, they took off the coverings and resolved to play a joke on their comradea They placed the figure in an armchair at the 1 desk of the cashier and shut the door. When the employees on night service came, they opened the door and were surprised to see a man sitting before the cash box. They immediately closed and locked the door and ran for assistance. A policeman arrived, revolver i> hand, believing, like the employees, that he had to deal with a dangerous •i thief. He called on the figure to sur render and follow him to the station. As it did not obey the summons, the po liceman shut the door and went in search of re-enforcements to surround the place and thereby prevent the cul prit from escaping. i The door was again opened, the arm ed force entered, and it was not till they had suddenly pounced on the poor lay robber that they discovered the joke. - Notice to Jurors.
