LAYING OUT A CAMP AT SAND LAKE
THE PLATEAU WHERE THE MEMBERS of
THE SECOND NETWORK VOLUNTEERS
WILL RECUPERATE.

Although the last act of the great spanish
American drama is we'll under way, and the
red fire is being made ready for the final tab
leau new scene is being set In the shape or
a camp The site is on the banks OF Sand Lake,
q little body OF water in Rensselaer, County
which Is unknown to most people except the
residents Of Troy and Albany
The camp site was suggested Jointly by the
Adjutant-General and Senator Murphy, when It
became known that Northern camp was
wanted for some OF the troops stationed at
Fernandina and the fact that the only railroad
leading to the place is trolley line in which
many citizens Of Troy are interested gives the
matter commercial importance.
To reach the new camp one must ride by the
electric railroad 20 Abba. the outskirts OF
Troy. and from there go by the Troy and New
England Railway TO Averil Park. The railroad
the park and the land upon which the camp
will be situated are owned by the Averil Park
Land Improvement Company and the new camp
will serve the double purpose OF giving good air
and pleasant quarters to men who have been
debltated by the excessive heat ard fevers Of
the South and Of booming Troy land enter
prise.
The proposed camp Is part Of a farm OF I'D
acres. bordered on the south by the lake. which
Il
a mile square. with no inlet and with an aver
age depth OF eighty feet. The plateau upon
which the camp will be laid out Is about 800
feet above the Hudson River and about ten
miles from Troy. 1t is on the foothills OF the
mountain range by which the Adirondacks are
linked to the Berkshrcs.
on the way 70 the camp ground one passes
through the better residence part Of Troy. and
the trolley conductors point out the homes OF
Governor Black and General Tiilinghast. the
Troy Club the orphan Asylum and other
buildings Of importance. on the second part OF
the ride TO the lake which takes about thirty
minutes one sees nothing but grass land and
woods The verdure Is so luxuriant that 1t ell
croaches on tn. domain Of The trolley line. and
? heavy growth OF grass covers the space be-
tween the tracks over which troops and Visitors

The Naval Flag.
The Presidents flag for the navy consists
of blue field with the official arms of the
United States, as determined by the Depart
ment of State with the legend and a semi
circle of thirteen stars extending above the
eagle, three on either side, projecting bes
yond the tips of the outspread wings.

The evolution of the Presidents standard
has been a work of months of study and de-.

made, giving various combinations Of the
national colors and emblema tical figures,
but were rejected for various satisfactory
reasons.
That which appears in The Star is the
first and only absolutely correct view OF

and declared as part of army regulations
which has yet been published.

part of Spain which defeated it's fleet at
Manila and will defeat that country of
dense ignorance and bigotry as she never
has been defeated before. DIR. Hoyt re-
ferred to the public school system of
America, remarking that no function is
loftier or nobler than that of the teachers
of the public schools of this country.
The Public Schools.
Our public schools, he said are great
smelling pots in which the children of the
foreign elements are taught true American
ism and made respected citizens of the
greatest and most advanced nation on
earth The public schools teach general
intelligence and make intelligent citizens,
but, declared DIR. Hoyt, the public schools
are being attacked. Yet he asserted, the
American people will see that not one cent
is ever spent by the government for sec
tartan schools.
But. great as are our public schools, the
Sunday schools of America. said the speak
er, are the salvation of the boys and girls
of America, and he advised one thing, at
leaSt-teach the children one truth each
Sunday. instead OF attempting to teach
them half a hundred at one time. "One
truth taught the children each Sunday
said DR.. Hoyt, lis fifty-two truths learned
in year. while the attempt to teach fifty
two in one Sunday is In all probability not
one truth learned in year..

COlOred Troops Eligible.

|. A question arose today as to whether
colored officers as we'll colored troops
would be taken as part of the organizations
offered under the call for 5000 volunteers.
Gen. Alger at once decided that if a col
ored company had efficient coored officers
they were as much entitled to recognition
and acce :;tapce in the military service as
were the troops themselves. He made this
known in a dispatch to the governor Of
Indiana, who had asked for Information,
and he stated the same thing to Represen-
tative Hall Of Iowa, who has an organiza-
tion of colored men with colored officers
in his district In this connection il de-
veloped that colored men are being con-
sidered for some of the staff appointments,
and the surgeon general of the army has
accepted a colCred man as surgeon, with
the rank of captain. The colored surgeon
will be assigned to a colored regiment,
and colored troops and colored officers will
be kept together as far possible.

Draft of Bill Sent to Congress by
the Secretary of Wnr.

the Secretary of War.
The Secretary of War has sent to the
Senate letter transmitting the draft of a
bill to protect explosive mines in the wa
ters of the United States. The bill provides

n.ents, vessels and persons"
1t is made the Secretary's duty to pub
lish his regulations in the principal news

sui that he has furnished copy of the
regulations to the master of vessel pre-
vious to its entering American waters is
made admissible as evidence against the
vessel in case of a trial for violation of
the regulations.
Secretary Alger. in his letter of trans
initial. says: The need of affording pro-
lection to the mines has become highly i'm
portant in connection with our defensive
works. and, being informed by the Attor-
ney General that no authority of law is
found under which the department can ade-
quateiy regulate the matter / earnestly
recommend and urge the immediate favor

Sented.'
