His decision is emboeied in a gen2ral order to the army, as follows: “In section 7 of the act ‘For the better crganization of the line of the army of the United States,’ approved April 26, 1898, It is provided “het in time of war every officer serving with troops operating against an enemy who shall exercise, under assign- ment In orders issued by competent author- + @ command above that pertaining to grade, shall be.antitled to receive the and allowances of the grade appropri- 0 the command so exercised.’ ‘The Attorney General has held that this cause ‘was intended to apply to all in- | Stances wher? the troops. of the United io are assembled in separate bodies, i such as regiments, brigades, divisions or corps, for the prrpose of carrying on and bringing to a conclusion the war with Spain,’ but that ‘all service in the army at the present time Is not to be considered as operating against an enemy.

Articles That Will Be Taken to the Troops by the St. Paul The auxiliary cruiser St. Paul, which is to take the 8th Ohio Regiment of Infantry to reinforce General Shafter, and which left Naw York last evening, had aboard a large consignment of general supplies sent by the quartermaster’s department for the treops in the field. They included the fol- lowing: 25,000 pairs of shoes, 25,000 und:r- shirts, 25,000 pairs of drawers, 50,000 pairs of socks, 5,000 flannel blouses, 5,000 uniform trousers, 17,000 canvas suits, 5,000 cam- paige hats, 5,000 blankets and 10,000 rubber Fonchos or blankets..

Left Halifax for New York. i 10. 10 THE COMPANY'S DENIAL HALIFAX, N. S., July 7—All the sur- vivors of the Bourgogne disaster have de- parted for New York. The entire company, with the exception of Mr. and Mrs. La- casse, left by steamer to Boston. The two mentioned left by train today. Large crowds saw the crew and officers off, and threatening looks were cast upon the seamen on account of the wild stories prevalent of women having been tossed overboard from the boats and men beaten off the life rafts. A rumor was in circu- lation that some of the crew would be ar- rested on arrival at Boston. The big ship Cromartyshire, which is at anchor in the stream, is the center of in- terest. Hundreds of boats ioaded with people surround the ship. Many of them are content with viewing the damaged ship from the outside, but many of the curious ones go on board and inspect the inside. No claim for salvage has yet been made on behalf of the Allan liner Grecian, as there is no possibility of the damaged ves- sel leaving the port for some days yet. The survivors say that some of the scenes enacted on board La Bourgogne just after the collision were terrible to witness, Men fought for positions in the boats like raving maniacs, women were forced back from the boats and trampled by men who made self-preservation their first object. Stabbed the Women, On board were a large number of the low- er class of Italians and other foreigners, who in their frenzy stopped at nothing that promised safety for themselves. In a boat was a party of forty women, but so great was the panic that not a hand was raised to assist in its launching. The occupants, so near saved, were drowned like rats when the ship, with an awful hissing sound, went down. Sd desperate was the situation that an Italian passenger drew his knife and made direct at one who, like himself, was endeavoring to reach the boats. Immedi- ately his action was imitated in every di- rection. Knives were flourished and used with effect. Women and children were driven bAck to inevitable death at the point of weapons, the owners of which were ex- perts in their use, Women were stabbed like so many sheep. New List of Lost.

Faguet*f’ém S. Cunard & Co., which stated thatthe ‘wreckage’ on beard La Bourgogne proved to be such,an obstruction that the passengers and crew were unable to reach the starboard lf2- boats. There was, therefore, a gfeat rush to the port boats. The crew endeavored to launch these, but owing to tha vessel's heavy list to pert. it was impossible’ to’ do so. ‘The telegram stated that so far as could be ascertained in Halifax the Gfficers and crew did their duty nobly. Most of the sailors who were saved w2re picked up in the water and not taken from the lifeboats. This dispatch contradicted those which came from unofficial sources. M. Faguet received another telegram, stating that lifs- boat No. 2 was taken possession of by some foreigners, presumably Austrians, sailors, who were in the steerage. It is presum2d that if any violence was shown toward struggling passengers by any one it was by these sailors, and not by members of the crew of La Bourgogne. Condolences From Monarchs.

Knowing that Congress will acjourn in a few days, and being anxious to get away for their homes, over a hun- dred senators and representatives cailed to have a last word with the President. ‘The majority of them are still in pursuit of army or navy appointments, and wanted to say something favcrable to constituents who have rade applications. Some of the congressmen will not wait for the formal adjournmenz, and will get away at once for their homes. Many of the callers believed that Con- gress might finish its work tomorrow. Others. thought it would not get through until early nexc week. The prevailing opinion was that adjournment will be reached on Saturday. Senator Davis holds to this view. Enlistment of Colored Troops. Representative Hull of the military af- fairs committee of the House is anxious to get through the bill authorizing the entist- ment of a large number of colored troops fer service in Cuba. He talked with the President on the subject. The President representatives who called upon him today that he considered it upwise for Congress to adjourn before the bill was passed. He considered it absolutely indispenZable that this bill should be enacted into law im- mediately. Mr. Hull stated afterward that he believed the bil! would be passed.

Lisner, SHOT PASSED THROUGH HIM Dangerous Pistol Wound Inflicted Upon Howard Keyworth at Bladensburg. Guy Barron Alleged to Have Done the Shooting — Committed to Marlboro’ Jail. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HYATTSVILEE, Md., July 7, 1898. Guy Barron, aged twenty-two years and a resident of this place, fast evening shot and seriously wounded W. Howard Key- worth, proprietor of the Pan Electric Hotel in Bladensburg. The shooting occurred about 5:40 o'clock in the bar room of Key- worth’s place, and is said to have been the result of a quarrel over a game of cards. Only two or three persons appear to know anything concerning the affair, and these do not seem inclined to tell any connected story of the trouble. It appears, however, that Keyworth and Barron wer2 together for several hours prior. to the shooting. They were apparently upon the best of terms.’ Both men were drinking, but, ac- cording to the statements of several p2r- sons who were With them just before the shot was fired, neither was intoxicated. In the course of the afternoon a game of cards was propos:d, and, in company with one “Stump” Brooks, K2yworth and Barron re- paired to a room immediately in the rear of the saloon and a number of games were played. Some dispute arose between Key- worth-and Barron, the exact nature of which is not determined, but having refer- ence, it is alleged, to some point in the game. One story is that Keyworth accused Barron of cheating, which accusation the latter resent2d. ‘A violent quarrel ensued, in the course of which Keyworth, it is alleged, roundly scored Barron and ordered him from the place. Barron went out and was absent probably fiftezn or twenty minutes. Dur- ing this time he visited the saloon of Ed- ward Penn, where he had a glass of beer with Edward Parker. He left Penn's es- tablishment and returned to Keyworth's. Confused Accounts. Meanwhile Keyworth had left the back room and was behind the bar. It is not known whether the quarrel was renewed between the men, nor is there any one who claims to have seen the shooting. One ver- sion of the encounter is that Keyworth, seeing Barron enter, seized a wooden mal- let and advanced, saying, “You —-——-—; dine) ta Yovhese statements, however, have not been ttendin in * Jett the Foo! aring the report, he hur- himself against the counter. In front of the bar, several feet away, stood Barron, with a smoking revolver in his hand. Fear- ing that he would fire again, Koch sprang forward and seized Barron’s arm, where- upon Barren wheeled about and, in com- pany with Ed. Parker, who must have re- turned about the time the shot was fired, walked from the saloon. Meanwhile Key- worth, it is alleged, had picked up a pistol from the shelf behind the bar and was starting forward, when “his wife, attracted by the pistol shot, entered and took the re-~ volyer from him. He came from behind the bar with blood streaming from his side. G and 11th Sts. leeheetetentente Wins with you in store- keeping?
