Gen, Miles has issued the following gen- eral order against the use of intoxicating drinks by soldiers in active service: “The army is engaged in active service under climatic conditions which it has not before experienced. In order that it may perform its most difficult and laborious duties with the least practicable lors from sickness, the utmost care consistent with prompt snd efficient service must be exer- cised by all, especially by officers. The his- tory of other armies has demonstrated that in a hot climate abstinence from the use of intoxicating drink is essential to continued health and efficiency. “Commanding officers of all grades and officers of the medical staff will carefully note the effect of the use of such light bey- erages—wines and beer—as are permitted to be sold at the post and camp exchanges, end the commanders of all independent commands are enjoined to restrict, or to entirely prohibit, the sale of such bever- ages, if the welfare of the troops or the in- terests of the service require such action. “In this most important hour of the na- tion’s history it is due the government from all those in its service that they should not only render the most earnest efforts for its honor and welfare, but that their full phy-_ sical and intellectual force should be given to the public duties, uncontaminated by ery grade, by example as well as by authori! will contribute to the-enforcement of this eee eee bly the first caricature in manu- seript is to be found in the papy- mn are a game like draughts, - SMOKELESS POWDER What is Saidin Oongress About Its Need. TS EMPLOYMENT IS FAVORED A Matter That the Department Should Deal With. SOME STRONG VIEWS Se ‘The r>ports from all the engagements by land or sea in which our forces have fought of the great advantage the Spanish have bad in being provided with smokeless pow- der and of the trouble our men have had on account of being =nveloped in smoke and having their position thus disclosed Is a reminder to Congress of the short-sighted- ness shown in providing for the nation’s defense in time of peace. The fact is devel- op2d that the matter of providing this smokeless powder having been deferred it was impossible to have it made in this country in time, and it could not be got in sufficient quantity abroad, because Spain had been ahead of us and bought it up. Chairman Hu Representative Hull, chairman of the House smilitary committee, said to a Star re- porter today: ‘The trouble is that we could not get the smokeless powder. Thovgh it an American in tion, there are in this coun- try no facilities to produc: it in sufficient am@pnt. rongress long ago should have provided for the manufacture of such powder in this country. Contracts should have been made so as to warrant manufacturers to pro- duce it. But it costs a little more tha other powder and, too, many of our peo- ple in Congress thought we never would have a war and therefore would not pre pare for the possibility. When the war came we did not haye erough smokeless powder in this country and were not pre- bared to produce it fast enough. We tr to buy it abroad, but Spain had bought it Views, all there. I think the fault lies with our congressional system. Congress is at fault.” “What Is going to be done about it?” was asked. “There is nothing in contemplation in Congress. I wish the department would take the matter im hand and make con- tracts.” What Mr. Londenslager Sa: Representative Loudenslager of New Jer- sey, a member of the committee on naval affairs, said: “I think every one will admit the desir- ability of providing sufficient quantities of smokeless powder for the army and na’ As long ago as the time when the Dingley tariff bill was considered, 1 urged a pro- tective tariff upon smokeless powder, to stimulate the manufacture of that article in this country. Several manufactories are being conducted on a small scale in the United States, but the competition of cheap European jabor keeps them down. The House adopted my suggestion as to the tariff! on smokeless powder, but the Senate modified the rate. “There is a smokeless powder factory in my district, but I was not only looking at the protection of the American industry. I was looking ahead to the time when the government might need powder in greater quantities and in quicker time than the limited capacities of our present factories could produce it. It would have been very fortunate if we could have obtained as much smokeless powder as we wanted for this war, and if our own people were en- gaged in its manufacture. “fhe House committee on naval affairs,” continued Mr. Loudenslager, “did all it was asked to do in connection with furnishing powder. The first appropriation contem- plated was for $1,000,000 for smokeless powder, This was subsequently reduced to ‘$250,000, because the department could draw upon the $50,000,000 emergency ap- propriation for this purpose. We also gave 390,000 to increase the government plant at Newport for the manupfacture of this ex- plosive. “I believe the government ought to make smokeless powder and keep large stocks of it on hand for emergencies.” Mr. Meyer’s Opinion. Representative Meyer of Louisiana, a member of the committee on naval affairs, eald: “There is no question as to the desirabil- ity ef supplying ourselves with smokeless Fowder. The only question is, how to si cure it in sufficient quantities. We tried to obtain it before the war, but the output of the material is so limited that difficulty was found in obtainmg the powder. I fi vor the general use of smokeless powder and think the experiences of this war show that we will have to get it in the future.” No Division of Sentiment. Representative Butler of Pennsylvania, member of the coremittee on naval affairs, said: “There is no division of sentiment, I im- ugine, abcut the necessity or the desira- bility of obtaining smokeless powder for the army and the navy. The committee on naval affairs favorably considered the com- munications of the department in this re- spect, but it was impossible at the break- ing out of the war to lay in a stock of the powder sufficient for all purposes, as the output was tco limited, and there was too heawy demand fer it from other coun- tries.” The Department Should Act. Senator Hale, chairman of the commit- tee on naval affairs, said: “The question of providing smokeless powdee for the navy is one to be dealt with within the department. We have given the department every dollar they have asked for. I have no doubt they are Going the best they can in that respect. If smokeless powder is the best powder, I have no doubt the department is getting it as fast as they can.” Senator Hanna Favors It. Senator Hanna, a member of the commit- tee on naval affairs, said: “I am decidedly in faver of smokeless powder. I think the question of the kind of powder to be vsed in the navy is a matter to be acted upon by the ordnance department. They have the funds to fur- nish the munitions of war.” Senator Proctor of the committee on mil- itary affairs said the question of the kind of powder to be used in the army would not come before his committee. It was a matter to. be dealt with in the War De- partment. We Were Not Prepared. Senator Sewell of the Senate military committee said that we did not have the smokeless powder when the war broke out. It would have been better if we could have had it. Other nations had adopted it some time ago, but we were not prepared with it when this war broke out. modern thing, and that this government did not live in expectation of war and did not have to be always on guard, as are Ew governments. He did not think expecting time to provide smokeless powder when the war broke out.’ It was for the future, and that there was no blame to be attached to any one for our not having the most modern improvements all at once. Sethe Mr. Hilborn Talks. world—and haa started to make tt wher the war broke out. Ordinary smokeless powder is extremely dangero on account of the nitro-glycerine in it. We undertook to prepare @ formula which would elim- inate this. Lieutenant Bernadeau experi- mented at Newport, and prepared a formula from which it was eliminated and which makes a perfect powder. This the Du powder milis in Delaware and the Cali- fornia powder mills have started to manu- facture, but when the war broke out they ‘were not prepared to furnish sufficient for the use of our*rmy and navy “I had thought that some had been bought abroad. The Secretary asked for a million Collars for that purpose, and after the fifty million appropriation he said $200,000 would ao. I supposed that he had used some of the $50,000,000 to buy this powder abroad, but it seems that w2 have none. 1 do not see that any one is particularly to blame for the situation.” Ei rsoeomteeeeetiy SCARCITY OF REVENUE STAMPS. Not More Than a Week's Supply to Be Sola One Time. The commissioner of internal revenue has issued the folléwing circular to all collectors regarding the sale of nue stamps: “In view of the large number of stamps that have been placed in the hands of col- lectors, the continued complaints of in- sufficient supply received from taxpayers indicate that such stamps are being bought up for speculative purposes in some in- stances, and in others that there has been @ superabundance of precaution to secure an ample supply. “Collectors should exercise great care In selling adhesive stamps to make sure that a fair distribution of the stamps needed by the taxpayers is not p od by either of the causes aboye “In no case should the purchasers be per- mitted to take more than a week's supply, and where the purchaser js located near the collector's office only a supply suffi- cient for two or three days should be sold. “Complaints reach this office that in some instances collectors and deputies have refused to sell less than an entire sheet of adhesive stamps to a purchaser. This practice must be discontinued, us taxpay- ing purchasers must be supplied with what they may need. “Inquiries are received in regard to agencies for the sule of these stamps by postmasters, banks, &c. In all such cases they have been referred to the mlectors of their respective districts, wao should ad- vise them that they can procure the stamps at a discount of one per cent of the face value on each purchase amount ing to $100 or more. “The only arrangements that will be made for the sale of adhesive stamps are those above indicated, namely, the sale in quantities of $100 worth or more to parties willing to take them on the terms fixed by law for resale to taxpayers and sale directly to taxpayers by the several col- lectors and their stamp deputies.” —+ © +________ NAVY ORDERS.

The House has passed the Senate resolu- tion for the acceptance by the librarian of Congress of the Gardiner G. Hubbard col- lection of engravings. The resolution pro- vides as follows: “That the librarian of Congress is hereby empowered and directed to accept the offer of Mrs. Gertrude M. Hubbard, widow of the late Gardiner Greene Hubbard, com- Municated to him by the following letter, on the terms and conditions therein stated, except that instead cf naming the gallery in tne library as therein proposed, the col- jection shall be Known end styled as the Gardiner Greene Hubbard collection, it not being, in the opimion of Congress, desirable to call parts of the public buildings after the names of individual citizens, and that the bust therein named be accepted and kept in a suitable place, to be designated by the joint committee on the library; and to communicate to Mrs. Hubbard the grate- ful appreciation of Congress of the public ae and munificence manifested by said gift.” The Hubbard coliéction is said to be the finest collection of modern engravings tn this country, and is valued at a sum in ex- cess of $100,000. They were hered in Europe by the late Mr. Hubbard, and in- clude the work of the most notable en- gravers of the world. When the collecticn is turned over to Librarian Young it will be placed in the art department of the library under charge of an employe of the library especially de- tailed for that duty. on BLANCO STILL HAS A WIRE. Operators at Santingo Connected Havana With Jamaica. It was confidently expected by the War Department officials that when the opera- tors in Santiago working the English cable to Jamaica left their station and took refuge on an English ship, the Span- ish officials in Cuba would be entirely cut off from communication with the home government. This apparently is not the case, if a rumor which reached Gen. Gree- ly, the chief signal officer of the army, dur- ing the day is correct. This was to the effect that before leaving their station in Santiago the English operators had con- nected the wire running into that city from Havana with that leading to King- ston, Jamaica, in which case direct com- munication from Havana to the latter mamed city may be obtained. Naturally with such a long circuit and unfavorable conditions ex.sting this con- nection may be easily interrupted at any time, but the fact that the operators re- | sorted to this device creates no little dis- satisfaction and feeling among the War Department officisis, who regard such ac- tion as unnecessary and uncalied for in the present circumstances. —-____ -e FORMER CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, Its Division Authorized by the Sen<- : ate.
