VOLUNTEERS FOR TAMPA
Regiments From Pennsylvania, Maryland,
| New York and Ohio Ordered
Further South,

Chickamauga Park, May 31.-The
greatest excitement prevailed in Camp
Thomas yesterday over n rumor that
a general order had been issued to all
troops in camp here to proceed at once
to Tampa. Every man seemed to be
glad, and there was general hustling
about in the various camps, each man
acting as though he expected to be Or
dered to pack his traps on the instant
to be ready to move to the front. The
rumor, when traced to its source,
proved to be only partly true, only
eight regiments being affected by an
order from the war department, as fol-
lows: First Ohio, One Hundred and
Fifty-soventh Indiana, Third Pennsyl-
vania First Illinois, Second New York,
Sixty-ninth New York, Fifth Mary
land and First District of Columbia.
These regiments are ordered to pro-
ceed at once to Tampa, and the work
of preparation began last night. 1t is
understood that four of the regiments
will leave this afternoon and the ether
four tomorrow. The regiments ordered
out are regarded as the best equipped
and most thoroughly prepared of any
IN the camp. This order is interpreted
by the officers and men as an indi-
cation that a speedy forward move
ment is to be made on Cuba and Porto
Rico and as consequence there was
as great rejoicing among the volun-
teer soldier boys as there was among
the regulars when they went to Tampa
under the impression that they were
going at once to Cuba.
With those regiments that arrived
yesterday the troops at the park num-
ber $4,000. The regiments going away
number 5000. The First Maine in
fantry, the Second Arkansas and the
Fifty-second Iowa arrived yesterday

Key West, May 31.-Everybody
knows now that Spains flying squad
ron, four splendid cruisers and two
torpedo boat destroyers, is imprisoned
in Santiago harbor. Speculation now
is over the probable disposition of tho
6paniards-whether they will be block
aided or the forts reduced and the ves-
sells compelled to fight. In the latter
case there can be but one result, for
Commodore Schley has some of the
finest ships in the world, to say moth
ing of cruisers and various smaller
vessels, and could in few days be
reinforced by other powerful warships
1t would be foolhardiness on the part
of Cervera to offer battle.
An interesting story remains to be
told of the reasons which led Cervera
to Santiago, and of the way in which
he was hemmed in. 1t is now known
that when the Spanish admiral sailed
for the West Indies he expected to
enter San Juan de Porto Rico for coal
and supplies. On touching at Curacao
for news his plans were upset by the
receipt of dispatches telling him that
Rear Admiral Sampson had lombard
ed the San Juan Notifications, and was
still in the neighborhood of Porto
Rico Thereupon Cervera sailed for
the south coast of Cuba.
I Commodore Schley lured the Span
fish fleet into Santiago by rilse. BY
the most clever maneuvering the COM
modore allowed the Spaniards to think
he had left in disgust. They took the
bait and ran into the harbor. Com
modore Schley moved down Saturday
morning, and at o'clock, going close
to the harbor, he saw the Cristobal
Colon, the Maria Teresa and two tor
pcdo boats. He believes the entire fleet
is there. He sat on the after triangle
Of the Brooklyn until after the dis
Covery of the feet, and he then went
to breakfast, saying: II have got
them, and they will never get home y
1t is certain that Ceryera could not
have escaped from Santiago without
being discovered, for the American
scouts had been prowling about the
port for ten days. and other scouts
had not been far away. Practically
Santiago has been blockaded for that
length of time. Cervera's coal ship,
which followed him from Curacao to
Santiago, was captured last Wednes-
day, and at the very moment when the
queen regent was cabling her congrat-
ulations the coils were tightening
about him.
The belief here is that all other
movements in the West Indies will be
held in allegiance until the Spanish
squadron is disposed Of In case San
tiago is attacked the news of the bat
tie will be sent from Mole st. Nicolas
and Kingston, and the prizes and
wounded will be sent to Key West.

Chicago Hopors Blue and Gray.

Chicago May 3l.--In addition to the
great number of graves of Union SOL
diers 5000 Confederate dead lie buried
in cemeteries here. Not one of them,
northerner or southorner, was over
looked yesterday. After the ceremonies
at the cemeteries there was a mag
niicent parade in the heart of the city.
The cheers were loudest when the Ninth
battalion of colored soldiers fell into
line They will be the first to go under
the new call and the only representa-
ton which the city will have in the
call for $4,000 volunteers One of the
features of the parade was the tat
tered pennant from the ill fated Maine.
