Baltimore interests will be given repre- sentation in the new board, and the West- ern interests, represented by Messrs. James J. Hill, Norman Ream, Marshal Field, Philip D.

There will be no general changes in man- agement pending the decision in the suits that have been instituted by the Johns Hopkins University and other preferred stockholders. The old charter is very liberal, and, besides other privileges con- ferred upon the company, it exempts it from taxation in Maryland. This item alone saves the company $250,000 a year. The reorganization managers will not give up the old charter if they can help it. Should the first ‘preferred stockholders win the suit, which seeks to prevent fore- closure and to compel the receivers to recognize that issue of stock, a lien prior to mortgages, the reorganization will prob- ably proceed under the old charter by vol- untary consent of security holders affecte: Should the decision of the court be ad- Verse to the contentions of the first prefer- red stockholders and the reorganization committee be given a decree of foreclosure, reorganization will proceed under author- ity of the new charter granted by the last Maryland general assembly. ee SENATOR FRYE IN PARIS Mrs, Frye in a Chatty Letter Tells the Events of a Busy Week.

Report of Pies AMPLE SUPPLIES WERE SENT = Freight Blobkadé at Tampa Gave 3 Serious Concern. ib DIET FOR THE SICK The annual report of Gen. Charles P. Kagan, commissary. general of subsistence, which was made. public today, contains a full ard complete statement of the arrange- ments made tor feeding the army during the Spenish war. The total expenditures were $6,008,715, and the balance on hand July 1 last was $20,222,689. Gen. Eagan de- seribes the army ration, and says that the usual rule, subject to local or temporary ccntrolling circumstances, for the issue of the meat portion of the ration in the army is that seven days’ fresh meat shall be issued to three days’ salt meat. In regard to the war with Spain, Gen. Eagan says, in part: Anticipating Hostilities. “In apti-ipation of the actual breaking out of hostilities between the United States and Spain, the acting commissary general of subsistence had, at the beginning of the month of April, 1898, advised ail chief ard purchasing ccmmissaries to have at all pests travel rations adequate to the wants of the full garrisons if ordered to move, and to ascertain and list the houses from whom articles of the ration and of the travel ration could be had at once if wanted in large quan.ities.

The depot commissdries at places of con- centration were authorized to call on the ccmmissary generat of subsist:nce for all the supplies th@t taey might consider to be needed in carrying out the plan of the Gepartment. These instructions have ap- plied te -all places wher> large bodies of treops have been assembled, and under them there has been no d'fficulty in pro- ng and shipping all subsistence sup- S needed. As a measure of precaution aries on duty in charge of pots ncar large bodies of troops in the stern part of the United States have been required to make weekly reports to the commissary general of subsistence of the number of complete rations on hand, in order that there might be no delay or failure of replenishment by the subsistence department, Freight Blockade at Tampa. A very serious freight blockade at and in the neighborhood of Tampa in May and June, 1898, was caused by the celerity th which the troops and their supplie: © cone! rated at that place in prepara- tion for the invasion of the Island of Cuba. Tris blockade was a matter of grave con- cern to the subsfstence department, and it was only after the most peremptory orders of the commissary general of sub- sistenc> to unload the cars and to hire warehouses, if necessary, that the officers of the department on the spot were en- abled, with unflagging zeal and untiring energy, to so far extricate the depart- ment as to permit the taking by the oth Army Corps, when it sailed on June 14, a supply of rations sufficient to last the ccmmand of 16,000 enlisted men for four months, and the sending on June 26, 27 and 28 of further suppli-s, Under contract entered into July 1, 1898, between the commissary general of subsis' ence and Swift & Co. of Chicago, Ill, a cargo of refrigerated beef reached Santiago on July 21, 180%, the day after the port opened for navigation, and was most acceptable to the troops and hospitals there. Supplies of this beef have since been fur- nished in plentiful quantities to meet the needs at that place. It will thus be seen that all due diligence was used by the commissary general of subsistence in placing subsistence stores within reach of the troops operating against ntiago. Upon landing in Cuba — these stores of the expedition were subject to the orders of the general commanding, who was in paramount control of the military operations in that quarter. The relations of the commanding general of the forces and of the staff officers on duty under him to the supplies placed at their disposal are sufficiently defined by laws, regulations and orders. The degree of diligence and effi- ciency with which all the subsistence offi- cers of the staff performed their duties in supplying the troops in the immediate thea- ter of operations was primarily within the observation and control of the general commanding. Department Not at Fault. If, with abundance,of provisions ashore and afioat at the: base of supplies in Cuba, the enlisted men weré at any time hungry. not the commissary general of subsistence nor the entire personnel of the subsistence department was ‘dt fault. It is evident that the supplies of sub- sistence stores SHfpped for the use of the army in Cuba Kav@ been at all times in excess of immediate needs. Besides being available for our, own, troops, they afforded relief to the Cuban army and to the desti- tute population which abandoned the city of Santiago when préparations for its de- struction had been made. The official re- turns from Cuba, Showing in detail the issues made to.,thege several classes of persons and others contemplated by law, have not yet been feceived, and there is not in this office‘any“Information throwing light on the subfect of the provisioning of the transports which brought the army back to Montauk Point further than there was an abundance of subsistence stores in Santiago and vicinity. Diet for the Sick. In a chapter relating to diet for the sick, Gen. Eagan says: “On May 17, 1808, on the request of the surgeon general and the recommendation cf the commissary g¢neral of subsisten:e, the Secretary of War granted 6) cents per Gay per man for subsistence of the sick in heepital at Key West, Fla., payable from the appropriation for subsistence of the army. “On June 16, 1888, on the recommendation ef the surgeon general and commissary general of subsistence, the Secretary of War approved the allowance of 60 cents per man per day to patients carried upan the hospital train, payable from the ap- propriation for sub:istcnce of the army. “August 2, 1898, on the app-ication of the THE DEPENDABLE STORE, §22-924-926-928 7th st., running through to 704-6 K st.

A FRUITLESS MISSION. ) to Discover His Miss- ing Son. His father has not heard from him since that time, and believes he joined the in- surgents and was either killed in a ie ema oie skirmish or captured and imprisoned by gus and Tonawanda reservations, but the complaint is centered in the Allegany res- ervation. There are 30,469 acres of land in this reservation occupied by six villages. By an act of Congress the Indians are au- thorized to lease these lands. The charges are that the rentals have materially de- creased. It is also charged that the of- ficers of the Seneca nation remain in of- fice by corrupt means, buying votes when election day comes around. Charges of mulcting the treasury upon false accounts are also made, Still unsuccessful in his search for his missing son, Mr. J. W. Hunter, an em- ploye of the coast and geodetic survey, has returned to this city from New York. Young Hunter, it is said, was of a roving disposition, and at the age of seventeen went to sea and remained away two years. In 1895 he sailed from Jersey City, where the family then Hved, for Ireland and thence to South America. He left Monte- video in 1895, and landed at Cienfuegos. the Spaniards. Learning recently that a number of Cu- ban political prisoners, liberated from the Spanish prisons at Ceuta, Africa, and bound for Cuba, were detained at New York city, Mr. Hunter went there to mak inquiries of his son, but his mission was fruitiess. The son, if alive, is thirty-five years of age and has a wife and one child living in thig city. i It pays to read the want columns of The Star. Hundreds of situations are filled through them.
