Selecting Sites for Camps.

SettetIhE lamps
II is now generally conceded that the
principal camp of the American soldiers
in this province will be located on the hills
southeast of Guanabacoa. Minor camps
will be located at Cojimar and Vento. All
three are ideal camping places, except for
the fact that the water supply is made
quate At Cojimar there are three wells
containing pure water. a practically un-
limited supply but ii Is feared that
camp will mean contamination of the
water.
Coils. Lee. Liyermore, Thompson and
Hecker, Major Almy and Engineer Craw-
ford crossed the harbor yesterday and
rode out on horses for a thorough inspec-
ton of Cojimar and Guanabacoa. Today
Vento will be visited The latter is not
far from the location of the chief water
supply of Havana, and pipes can be laid
without great cost.
The entire commission is more than ia
vorably impressed with the GuanabacOa
hills. There the air is always pure, the
winds are fresh and cool and the drain
age IS perfect. II will cost about $4,000
to pipe water directly through the GUIANA
bacoa hills to Cojimar. This would give
to all three camps an ineXhaustible sup
ply of as good water as could be desired.
Col. Lee said il had not yet been def
nitely decided upon. but II was probable
that permission will be asked to build a
pipe line. tapping the principal water main
leading into Havana. If the President and
the Secretary OF War give their approval
the work can be done before the arrival of
troops
Whatever is done must be done at once.

completed before the American soldiers

The 60-foot rail on standard tracks
has passed the experimental stage, and
the roads which began using them
three years ago are now ordering more
of the same kind for renewals. At
first when the Pennsylvania intro
duced the long rails, various objections
were raised by experienced trackmen
as well as by theorists, who declared
that the additional cost of handling
them. the lack of sufficient joint space
to allow for contraction and expansion
and the greater tendency to creep, were
defects in the 60-foot rail which would
be difficult, if not impossible, to over
come. In spite of these objections the
Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania
lines proceeded to lay the long rails,
and now after carefully watching the
sections of track where they have been
in use under the heaviest traffic, the
officials have unhesitatingly recomend
cd that more of them be ordered.

much reduced in flesh and looked quite

If the 18th is sent away for garrison

firm in the belief that the 18th will be
mustered out soon, and all suppose that
