Is Being Rounded Up and Put
Into Shape.

emily. The Sixth Tennessee infantry
which has been in camp at Knoxville
since organization arrived at Camp

infantry which is now in camp at Knox

Thomas during the next few days
The Fifth Illinois is again settling
down to business.
The boys have about gotten over
their bitter disappointment a not get
ting to go to the front at this time and
nearly every man has returned to the
regiment for duty. AS soon as the
rumOrs circulated to the effect that Col.
Culver was responsible for their recall
were shown to be false the boys were
generally satisfied. This morning at
roll call it was stated that all but a
few of the men answered and they will
probably show up during the next "a
hours. The regiment now occupies new
camp ground and all the tents have
been set, SO that by Monday every
thing will be working as smoothly as
though nothing had happened.
The First Pennsylvania is now in a
state of expectancy as to when the
cOlOnelcy Will be filled, 1t being known
that Col. Brown will not be physically
able to return to the command. The
boys Of the regiment without exception
are anxious that Lieut.. Col. Good shall
receive the appointment and it is quite
manifest that they will not be satisfied
with any other arrangement Col. Good
has made such an efficient officer and
has grown in such favor with the Off
GERS and men that they would be quite
reluctant to see any one else succeed
to the command.
Lieutenant Harlan, the regimental
surgeon of the First Pennsylvania,

is a growing sentiment in favor of the

Washington. July 9O.-The navy depart
ment has posted the following cablegram
from Admiral Sampson:
Playa, July 3O-The Infanta Maria Ter
esa, upon which the wreckers are now en-
gagged, will be 1oated and brought to
Guantanamo as soon as a small leak is
located somewhere in the bow of the ship.

water there being steam in one of her
boilers.

GRAND STAND SAFE.
It Will Hold Up the Crowd on the
Fireworks Night.

Mr. Irving w Doolittle of the Com
mittee of Fifteen, who was chairman of
the committee on arranging the seat
ing accommodations at the fair grounds
for the Pains fireworks display and
Battle of Manila Monday evening, said
today that Fire Marshal Wilmarth had
carefully inspected the grand stand at
the fair grounds and recommended
few repairs. These repairs have been
made according to his orders, and he
now declares the grand stand to be alb
solutely safe. He says it will easily
stand the weight of as many people as
can crowd into it. There were many
who feared the old structure was not
safe, but this announcement coming
from Fire Marshal Wilmarth is reas-
surfing.

but that it was 200 miles away, and he
was without money.
Wheeler replied: 90, if it's only that
far, you give me the address, and I'll
go, indeed I will! I can beg rides from
place to place.
Mrs. Thorpe was incredulous, but
gave him the letter the farmer had
written her.
The boy departed in high spirits. To-
day, just nine days after he started,
Mrs. Thorpe received a letter from the
farmer telling of his safe arrival. The
farmer is well pleased with him, and

ports of i'll health were exaggerated, but
he promised to make inquiries.

is understood that the original plan to
acquire a cOaling station has been
broadened into a demand for naval
station. The argument that brought
about this change was the representa-
tion of the naval war board that one
of the most pressing needs Of .. 5.
naval vessels in Asiatic waters was
good dry dock and some machine shops
where the repairs that were always re-
quired by the complex Warships of to-
day can be affected. It was also pointed
out that under strict application Of the
neutrality laws as urged by some
writers. the United States might be pre-
vented in time of war from taking its
own coal from its own coaling station,
though the same rule can not be applied
to a naval station which would be held
under an entirely different tenure. The
maintenance of a naval station would
require more territory than a cOaling
station and the existence of a dock yard
at CaVite has fixed the eyes of the
naval war board upon that place as
one ready made for our occupancy
A naval station involves some resi-
dent population to supply the necessary
labor and some agricultural land is re-
quired to maintain this population, the
extent of the territory depending en-
tirely upon the size of the station and
its Importance.
Some of the naval officers are urging
and their representations have been
given weight, that the whole of the is
land of LUzOn is not too great an eX-
panse to support properly such a sta
tiOn as the United States will require.
They point also to the difficulty that
would be encountered in defending
station which does not occupy the whole
of the island upon which it is located.
On the other hand it is pointed out that
there are several hundred thousand
semi inhabitants Of Luzon,
whose government would Oblige the
United States to keep a considerable
military and naval force always on and
