different characters was given in an ex
cellent manner and showed that in this
she was especially proficient. The
difficulty Of her selection and the absence
of any flaw in her rendering caused the
judges to select her as the best speaker
in the list.
Paul Shinn favored the assemblage
with violin solo which was received
with great applause.
Georgia l.. Towers of Richmond re-
cited an affecting portrayal of the pitt
full story of the Hunting of The Deer
and her rendering caused among her
hearers deep feelings of sympathy for
the fate of the poor hunted doe.
This completed the list of speakers

a fatal spot she wouldiwithout any doubt
haxe taken one of the prizes.
The next number on the program
was greeted with much pleasure. This
was vocal solo by Mr. Robert McKen-
zie Barre's popular tenor. His clear
musical voice called out much comment
from the strangers present and those
who have heard him before were as ever,
highly entertained.
Sadie B. Smith of Pawlet rccited sad
selection in a most affecting manner.
The piece was difficult one but Miss
Smith was equal to the task and her mar
ration of the pathetic story of the tenn
ptation and struggles of the characters
concerned left deep impression.
Clinton F. Gale of Barre could have
chosen nothing better adapted TO his
strong presence and heavy voice than
the extract from Webster's famous
speech on "Liberty and Union" Mr..
Gale put his whole soul into the work
and showed himself to be genuine
Vermont orator. He carried off the
third prize to the satisfaction of the
audience who fully expected that he
would be awarded one of the three.
Helen Mcknight of East Montpelier
was one of the favorites of the evening
and many predicted that she would be
eiven the first prize. She rendered the
amusing and exciting story of Mr.. Tray
ers First Hunt" Had one been dispos-
ad to criticize. he would indeed have
had a difficult task for she went through
her work from beginning to end just
like professional! and held her listen
crs in close attention until she finished.
She was awarded the second prize and
she was certainly most deserving.
Julia Eta Kline of Woodsville, N.

and gained her success by telling the
ludcrous story of the two small boys in
their fearful experience with "The
Burglars" Her impersonation OF the

Men, Provisions and Ambulances
Arrived There Yesterday.

Chicl,amaga National Park,
Ga, MJy 22.TThIs has been Il
quiet day at Camp Thomas. The
second Nebraska regiment, which

Second Ncbra ,la, which had be
come separate from the rcgi-
mcnt at st LoYis, reached here ut
5 O'Clock. Tfy came in today
over the Cipcinnati Southern.
The belated battalion was com.
mandcd by Major William G
Mace. The first battalion of the
One Hundred and Fifty seventh
Indiana infantry arrived IN Chata-
nooga at 8 o'aock, accompanied
by the regimental band of "a
pieces. The battalion spent the
day on Lookout mountain and
reached the park at $50 o'clock,
sleeping under the stars on Lyttle
Hill during the night. As re-
suit of the few arrivals the rail-
road yards which have been enor-
mously congested with loaded and
empty cars for nearly week an
opportunity will be given to clear
off the tracks and sidings to make
room for the troops that will be-
gin to arrive at lively rate to-
morrow morning.
twenty-five cars of provisions
arrived today and were stored in
the large warehouses now com
pleted on the park ground. Fifty
one of the latest and most i'm
proved ambulances, built with a
special view to adaptability in a
hot climate, arrived from South
Bend, Ind, today.

\ REAL ROMANCE.
Miss Cisneros Will Wed One of
Her Rescuers.

Washington, May 90. 0.-Evan-
gelina Cosio y Cisneros, the Young
Cuban girl, is soon to wed Carlos
Carbonel, the former Cuban
banker, who was yesterday nomI-
mated by President Mckinley to
he lieutenant and aid on the
staff of Maj Gen Fitzhugh Lee.
When Karl Decker went to
Havana with the express purpose
of Iiberating Miss Cisneros, he
found trusted lieutenant in the
person of Mr. Carbonel, althogh,
like Mr. Decker, he was at the
time unacquainted with the fair
Young Cuban. When the night
of the rescue from the Havana
prison came Mr. Carbonel was at
Decker's side during the entire
affair.
To Carbonel was entrusted the
duty and privilege of accompany
ing the girl to New York. Com
panionship between the two ma
tives of common cline ripened
into love, and the usual details of
courtship followed, with the re-
suit that the wedding will shortly
take place, probably before Lieu
tenant Carbonel snail be ordered
into the field, although no definite
time has been decided on by Miss
Cisneros, her guardian, Mrs
Logan, or the groom to be.

TWO THOUSAND RECRUITS.
They Have Been Assembled in
Atlanta Already-The Span
ish Prisoners.

Atlanta, May 22.-About 2, 900
recruits have arrived at Fort Nc
Pherson since that post was made
the Capitalization point for that
branch of the army. Every re-
cruiting station in the country
from Maine to California has sent
some men, and they are still ar
irving at the rate Of 200 a day.
1t was not intended to send any
of the men away until they were
uniformed and equipped, but the
need of men for the Philippines
has brought about the necessit y
for getting more men in the reg
ular army regiments in the west.
Col Cock, the commandant,
yesterday lined up the recruits at
the post and asked for volunteers
to go to the PHILIPPINES. Nine
hundred responded almost in
stantly, but only 600 are wanted
to make out the third battalion
OF two regiments. 1t is likely
that these men will go to New
Orleans to join the Eighteenth
and Twenty-third regiments of
the regular army before these
regiments, which have been as
signed to go with Gen Merritt,
start for San Francisco.

"BRIGADE' FLEXIBLE TERN.
Brlgades are to divisions what
divisions are to army corps. A
division differs from corps in so
far that while the larger body in
cludes every arm of service, n
division may be composed of only
one of these arms. Thus there
may he cavalry, artillery, or
infantry division, or there may
be division which includes all
these. The number of men for a
division depends upon circum-
stances. Three brigades may be
formed into division, but there
is nothing to prevent its being
twice as large. A division is
commanded by major general.
A brigade, commanded by a
hrigadier general, is composed of
three, four, or five regiments,
and may be made up from one
arm of the service or it may in
clude regiments of infantry and
cavalry and batteries of artillery
together with engineers and signal
corps.
A regiment is commanded by a
colonel, and is permanent tacti.
cal unit, with its own distinct
individuality. infantry regi.
ments, according to the new regu.
lations, have three battallions
each, and each battalion has four
companies. The second officer in
regiment is the lieutenant colo
mel who, in the absence of the
commanding officer, takes com
mand. The battalion commanders
are of the rank of major.
The platoon is TO the company
what the battalion is to the regi-
ment, and as the major is in com
mand of battalion under the
colonel, so are the first and sec
ond lieutenants in command of
their respective platoons under
the captain.

a squadron is a division of a

A flag officer is one who has the

The difference between battle
ship and an armored cruiser is
technical, and experts have STUN
bled over the matter. A battle
ship is supposed to have heavier
guns and armour and to be better
to withstand hard knocks from an
opposing force. But this does
not always hold good, as may be
seen in the case of the Maine as
compared with the BROOKLYN.
The Maine was battleship, but
she was not so large nor so heavily
armored as tie armored cruiser

seems to be no dispute and that
is the fact that the cruisers are
faster than the battleships, and it
is conceded also that in most in.
