Canto, July 2.—The following official
Announcement was made vesterdvr af

Egyptian government mitlfied them
that they could not allow this, and
that it mast stop forthwith, and that
they must disc* leave Port Ma'd. as the
twenty-four hours' limit had been
i-oatly exceeded. The Spaniards then
dated that tlielr ships wanted repairs

material in order to repair."
Wasihxotoj*, July .— United stutes

jf the Egyptian government to take
.•oal at I’ort Said, the consular officer
nieceedeu In quietly buying up ail of
the coal available at that port.
This amounted to .>0,00!) tons, nnd it

vessels that may pass through the

tion, if it should lie permissible for

The news that reached the depart

Wasiiixoton, July —t.cneral Miles
received a dispatch early this morning
from Shaffer's headquarters, saying
that the big military balloon was now
high In the air and was giving oppor
tunity for observation over a great
sweep of country. A balloon a mile or
more in the air, commands a radius of
observation of from twenty to fort,)
miles with powerful telescopes.
This was the first actual use of bat
loons by the American army ill the
present war and the commanding gen
eral set much store on the information
they would give an to the exact loca
tion of all the Spanish forces, their
points of concentration, the defenses,
the location of Cer vera's warships in
the harbor and possibly the progress
of Spanish reinforcements.

two and one-half miles. 4,oon yards, he

In tiie I'nited States artillery service.
The first is mark 1, weighiug <1,000

is mark naval gun, 7,000 pounds
weight, with sixty-pound armor pierc

siipismad to be using to destroy the
works around Santiago. The shells
are charged with “jovite,'' or “melin

newest explosive u>cd in shell lire. It

(’amp Thomas (Oa.) corrcHpondciP’
of tho Lincoln Journal: Recruits hav.
been arriving all day and tonight
fifty-seven new men are sleeping fo.
the first time on the battle field of
Chickamauga. They come from dif
ferent towns with assignments to the
companies from their old homes. 1 lie
boys looked black and dusty, but are
husky fellows. Some of them were
thrown out on the first call, but man
aged to slip through this tlir.?. The
boys brought the Information tha'
Lieutenant Perry was having some
trouble In recruiting at North P.a'te,
owing to the dissatisfaction expressed
by some of the boys of 13 company in
their letters For the benefii of the
citizens of North Platte whose pa
triotism has never been doubte-J It
may be well to sav that the health of
the men Is excellent, there being
only twelve men In the First division
hospital. These twelve come from six
regiments, uji average of twn tnen
to the rejlment. If this Is a large
percentage then statistics tell an aw
ful story. The men are cheerful, welt
rlothed and rnxlous to become eood
soldiers. If there Is a man In Nebras

And Ills tent carpeted with Brussels
carpel, his teble covered with Delft,
china fllled with porterhouse steaks
cooked In mushrooms, frogs’ legs, fried
chicken, preserves, pie. cake and Ice
cream, his clothes lined with silk and
his bed composed of down, made upon
a brass’badstead he had better remain
at home. A soldier's life Is one of self
denial and the man who goes tbrougu
It with little complaint Is the one who
receives the appreciation due him.
If the Nebraska boys want to come
here they will And nlenty of food and
clothing. They will have to wait up
on themselves. They will have tr»
work hard, to do work they have nev
er done before, but it will not kill
them. If they are composed of the
right kind of stufT. like the 1.000 men
already here, they will emerge from
their service better men physically and
better equipped to face the battle of
life.
The boys who ramw in todav look
like men who are capable of subduing
themselves. They came In willing to
work and anxious to march beside the
bovs who are here. The bovs who
arrived have been assigned to the Te
cumseh. Schuyler. Grand Island and
Kearney companies.
Provost Sergeant Atwood of com
pany A and Teamster Westover of
company 11 had a narrow escape todav
while on their way to Crawfish
Springs after water. The team of
four mules were turned off the fllled
road sudd«tly to avoid taj wagon
ahead. The wa^on went over, the
empty barrels rolling over the hoys
Sergeant Atwood struck on his head
and the wagon was pulled over his
left leg. His face and leg were bruised
and scratched. The muleH ran about
200 yards, dragging the wagon behind
them.. When the boys caught them
one of the mules was so badly rut
up that he was useless so he was
turned loose (o be killed later by the
provost guard. He was an outlaw,
and ornery animal, which would rath
er eat a set of harness than his oats
and hav. Fortunately the Second regi
ment had one mule to spare so that
Quartermaster Mvers still has the
number for which he receipted.
A quorum was not nresent at the
court martial of Private Meher yes
terday morning. The president. Major
Katey. announced that the court would
adjourn until Monday morning at !»
o'clock. Captain Fisher objected, say
ing the eight duvs allowed his client
for trie I were up. At no time had he
asked for a continuance and he was
ready now to try the case to the four
men present. The president, however,
said Captains Dyer and tlrandan were
not absent of their own volition, but
because they had been ordered awav
on duty.
The decision of the ludre advocate
giving Captain Fisher the right to
act was somewhat interesting, (ieneral
