MORE TRANSPORTS NEEDED.
Refrigerator ships for Carrying
Beef Also Wanted.

Beef Also Wanted.
Washington, June 2O.-It was announced
at the war department to-day that no ad-
the Newport, which has been impressed
on the Pacific coast, has been secured.
The officials, however, have been busily
engaged during the day in comforting with
the agents of steamship companies, as well
as individual owners. with view to Sc
curing additional vessels.
The department is decidedly averse to
resorting to impressment for various rea-
sons, and only does it when all other eff
forts TO obtain the ships fail.
OF the eleven transports available by
the department in the East arrangements
are being made to have half a dozen, or
more rendezvous at Tampa, for the pur-
pose, presumably of carrying additional
achievements to Gen. Shafter.
The four ships, which We're at Fernan-
dina last week, have been given ordes to
go to Tampa, and one from Mobile is al
ready there.
Just what portion of Gen. Skaters re-
Inducements are to be taken from Tampa
has not yet been announced, but with a
half dozen ships at its command, the de-
partment ought to be able to transport APP
proximately 1000 men, with their equip
ments, and subsistence stores.
Most of the remainder, it is expected,
will be taken from Camp Alger, Virginia,
amounting, il is said to a brigade but
this has not yet been definitely settled
Secretary Alger was asked this after
noon just how many reinfcrcements would
be sent to Gen. Shafter, but he declined TO
state definitely the number, saying, how
ever, in a general way, there would be be-
TWEEN 5000 and 10, 900 men.
The lack of suitable vessels for carry
ing supplies of fresh refrigerated beef for
the army in Cuba, as well as for the straw
ing people there, is proving very embar-
RAISING to the officials of the commissary
generals office. Nearly a week ago Gen
Egan opened bids for supplying this neces-
sary article of the soldiers diet, and
would have awarded the contracts before
this, but for the reason that there are
no ships available to carry the supplies
The ships, when secured, will have to be
fitted with refrigerating apparatus in or
der to preserve the meat fresh and this
will take some little time. The general Is
anxious that the work shall be gotten I'M
der way not because there is a lack of
rations, but for the fact that American
soldiers like their fresh beef wherever they
go, and the aim of the officials is to keep
them supplied as far as practicable.
The improvements al Fernandina, Fla
with a view to making that place suitable
for any large body Of men which may be
ordered there are being completed by the
war department Up 20 this time how
ever, 1t as stated that no troops have been

RESERVES ALWAYS IN A row.
Rivalry for a Captaincy Now stIrs
Up brunswick.

AOA a. NOW GtlEH
Up brunswick.
Brunswick Ga, June 2O.-Miitary circles
are all agog tonight over alleged fighting
that is now going on between Lieutenant
Junior Grade Clyde Taylor of the Fourth
division, Brunswick Naval Reserves, and
both of whom are said to be hot on the
trail of a captaincy in the army. Behind
all of this again hobs up serenely the old
trouble of the Georgia reserves In getting
recognition from the government and the
efforts of the officers and men to flock into
the army ranks where they stand some
show of being called out. It seems that
the Georgia reserves arc always IN a stew
over something, and the rivalry betweens
officers Taylor and Elliot has worked the
boys up to a high pitch of excitement and
anticipation again.
Tonight, 1t is alleged that Secretary
Frank Galloway has wired to Taylor
supporters that Elliot would gel the cap
taincy if Taylor would accept the first
lieutenancy. This offer is said to have
been rejected, and it's rejection has brought
a sharp reply from Secretary Galloway in
return. The reply Secretary Galloway is
alleged to have made has stirred Lieut..
Taylors friends, and now both sides are
tearing up the earth in bringing influence
to bear for their respective SIDES In the
meantime, il Is feared that others in the
Eleventh district will step in and seize the
plum that the Brunswick men are working
for, and efforts will probably be brought
to bear TO stop the fight. The appoint
ment of either one or the other will vacate
offices in the reserves.
Interview at a late hour tonight, Lieut..
Taylor denied the current rumors of In
tense rivalry between Lieut.. Elliot and
himself for an army captaincy. He stated
that no offer of a compromise had been
made him and such reports as were cur
rent were unjust to all parties concerned.
AS a naval reserve officer, he was re-
cruitng for the Second Battalion Naval
Reserves, having opened such as office. to-
day. Lieut.. Elliot is away and could not
be interviewed on the subject tonight.
Lieut.. Taylor of the Fourth division
naval reserves has opened recruiting sta
ton at his Office and is getting names in
rapidly. II is now definitely settled that
as soon as the required number of men
are secured the Second Battalion Of re-
serves will be authorized by the depart
ment.

part of the province. They constantly

and the soldiers had to retreat, and came

munition landed was of little account.

the United States have united in the

information on the condition of the gar
rison and reported il to the United States
