This news caused surprise, although

The question is asked: What can be

Washington. May S.-One Utah troop of
cavalry will be with the Torrey rough
riders in Cuba. The composition of the
second regiment. United States volunteer
cavalry was today determined upon. 1t
has been decided by the war department
that this command will consist OF L
troops, apportiened among the state as
follows: Two from Colorado, one from
Idaho. one from Nevada, seven from
Wyoming and one from Utah.
No promises have been made for com
missions in the regiment and the whole
matter of officers below colonel will be
ganized at Fort Russell, near Cheyenne.
II is the wish of Colonel Torrey that the
best men in the regiment shall be in the
important places
The second regiment is to be armed
with the most improved firearms and to be
equipped in every way in accordance
with modern conception of warfare. 1t
is understood that the regiment will not
have the regulation cavalry sabre, but
each trooper will be armed with one mod
ern carbine and two SiX-shooterS.
Colonel Torrey has been very diligent
and Industrious in the matter of secur-
ing proper equipments for his men. By
splendid persistence he has OF tanned or

was asked at the war department today
if he wanted sabres for his men, he said:
No would rather take rop IS than
sabres. as the boys can lasso and drag the
Spaniards to death faster than they can
do it with sabres. Our men Will be willing
to depend on carbineS and SiX-ShooterS
to do the business.

DAVIS REPLIES
 TO BICELOW Attack on the Regulars Resented. ARE IN FINE CONDITION READY TO TAKE THE FIELD
 AT ONCE. Indignation at Tampa Over Baseless Criticism of the Wear
 CTS of the
 Blue.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 5.-Richard Hard ing Davis, writing to the Herald from the headquarters of the United States army at Tampa, Fla, says: The ut most indignation has been aweakened here to-day by an article attacking the regular army, which appeared in cur rent number of an illustrated weekly paper. The article is by MT. Poultney Bigelow, who, with Editor Percival, is tonight universally condemned.
 MT. Bigelow states that owing to the stinginess of the Government the health of the men is seriously affected; that they are being treated worse than those of any Continental army, and that there is not a single regiment fit to take the field. The camp doctors. so Bigelow writes, are busy with men and officers suffering from dysentery.
 asked Colonel Pope, chief surgeon of the Fifth Artillery Corps, just what was the present health of the men, and he said: "The sick list is only per cent. This is less than one-half the normal rate of 415 per cent. It is the healthiest army in history"
 The article also charges the Govern ment with giving men unreasonable food.
 We are in the habit" writes Bige- low, "of plying the soldiers of Eu- rope. For downright neglect 1 have seen nothing to beat the way the American is treated by Uncle Sam. There is a German military attache at Tampa noting all these things, and what is concealed from the American people is carefully sent to Europe"
 1 happened to be talking the other day on this same subject to this same military a who said the rations served our men at Tampa were as good as those served to any Continental army, and that our men received them in much greater quantity. That is the answer of the German attache to MT. Bigelow.
 As to his most sensational charge, that there is not a single regiment here ready to take the field, I can best quote the commander-in-ch
 There is not regiment belonging to the regular army" he said, that is not ready now to take the field and that has not been ready for months. I have never been so proud as I was yester- day, when I rode through the camp of the Fifth Army Corps and saw the magnificent condition and physical per fectnesS of our men. There is no army corps anywhere in the world that is better supplied with men and officers of courage, fortitude and intelligence"
 That is the answer of the con- mander-in-ch to the editor of the periodical and to MT. Bigelow.
 CHICKAMAUGANA RATIONALE PARK, Ga, June 5.-This has been the quietest day since the volunteer army arrived here. It was probably one of the most delightful, too. so far as weather was concerned. There were no drills or parades of any kind and the regular detachments of men were given short leaves of absence to visit nearby points of interest. Religious services were held in those regimental camps having chaplains. It was, in word, a

sympathy of the British Embassy here with an alleged British subject inn pr1soned at Tampa, who, 1t is believed is the Spanish spy alluded to in Lieu tenant CarranZa's letter. A Canadian lawyer arrived here last Sunday and made personal appeal to Sir Julian to intervene in behalf of the man inn prisoned at Tampa There were sus- picious circumstances connected with the case, and before acting the Embas- sador asked for specific recital of all the facts. These were not forthcoming and the case was not pushed When the Carranza letter appeared stating that one of his spies had been caught at Tampa, 1t became apparent for the first time that the efforts toward fnterven- tion were designed to secure the re- lease of his spy.
 Aside from the official action of the British Government, it is quite likely the Canadian officials will take some action against Carranza and Du Bose under the Canadian statutes. When Sir Louis Davies, Minister of Marine of the Canadian Cabinet was here recently he spo.-a of the determination of the Canadian authorities to maintain the strictest neutrality and see that the CarranZa party did not use Canada as base of any hostile operations against the United St-tes. He referred to the difficulty in making out specific case against them, saying that it was not enough to present mere suspicion. He Said, however, that if such a case was secured, the Canadian authorities would act promptly in putting an end to the abuse of hospitality shown by the Spanish officials
 The Carranza letter furnishes just such case as Sir Louis Davies re- ferred to, and leaves no doubt that the Dominion Government, as we'll as the authorities in London will see that the Carranza-Du Bose party no longer abuse their residence in Canada by making 1t the headquarters for a spy system and base of information for General Blanco Admiral Cervera and authorities at Madrid

The Resolute Arrives at Mole St. Nicholas After Eluding Two
 Corvettes.

PORT ALI PRINCE, Hayti, June b. According to the latest advices from Santiago de Cuba, there were not more than seventeen ships in the offing all day, and it is belived there that the three missing vessels have gone for provisions and munitions of war.
 At 6 o'clock this afternoon the Hay tien steamer Nouvelle Voldregue ar rived here from Cape Haytien after touching at all the ports along the coast. She reports that yesterday at Mole St. Nicholas she saw the United States troop ship Resolute awaiting in- structions. The vessel was under con- voy. It was ascertained from passen- gers on the Nouvelle Voldregue that the Resolute had been pursued between Jean Babel and Mole St. Nicholas by two Spanish corvettes.
 From the same source it is learned that Admiral Cervera's squadron in its entirety is not in the port of Santiago de Cuba, but that only a cruiser, sup posed to be the Cristobal Colon, one torpedo boat and two auxiliary crui- serS are there.

 It was stated on pretty good author 1ty to-day that the Government would at once erect permanent building at Lytle, the Park Postoffice, to be used for offices for heads of departments and for postoffice. The mail matter being handled is enormous.
 A distinct but unverified report was circulated in camp to-day to the effect that the Eighth New York would be or dered to the Philippines.
 Paymaster McArthur of the New York National Guard, arrived to-day with the funds with which to pay off the New York regiments for the time they were in camp prior to being mus tered into the Government service.
 Two troops of the First Kentucky Cavalry arrived this morning and went into camp. The regiment has been raised since the call for volunteers and the men have, so far, had no experience in the service.
 Pneumonia has about spent itself and there is now nothing more serious, aside rom the few cases of disease remain ing, than measles and a few cases of malaria. Chief Surgeon Hartsuff re- ports the health of the camp as eX- ceedingly gratifying.
 MOBILE, Ala, June 5.-The Fifth Cavalry and the Elevel tn Infantry left camp to-day for Montgomery, there to take the Plant system to Tampa, and the camp Of regulars is no more. Five regiments of volunteers remain. As headquarters of the Fourth army corps has been permanently established, it is inferred by officers that there will shortly be centered here the full com plement of corps regiments, namely, twenty-seven regiments.
 KEY WEST, Fla, June 5.-The inn pending invasion of Cuba and the Santiago situation are the only topics of interest here to-day Intense anxiety Is felt for more and definite news from Commodore Schley and Rear Admiral Sampson, and the north coast blockade has become minor incident. The only arrival of to-day from off Havana re- ports an unchanged condition there The ships are still stationed in line and have relaxed none of their vigilance On the shore in the immediate vicinity of Havana the only sign of life is the incessant work being done on the fortif- cations.

Loper in com mand, left Camp Mckinley to-day in three battalions over the Rock Island, Burlington and Northwestern Rail- ways, the Union Pacific and the South ern Pacific to take them after they reach Cheyenne.
