FOR A LONG STAY

RatiOns That VIII Keep an Army
SIX Months Are Being Accumu-
lated at San FranciscO-The City
of Picking VIII Start With the
First Expedition During the
Present Week-Others to Follow.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-The war
department is rushing its preparations
for the expedition to the Philippines.
In the orders issued today, Gen. Mer-
rift Is accredited to the department Of
the Pacific, but it Is known that he
will go to the Philippines in command
Of the army there, and will be accom-
panied by Brig. Gen. Otis.
The designation of Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee as commander of the Seventh
corps, with headquarters at Tampa,
would seem to indicate that he is to
accompany the army Of invasion to
Cuba.
1t is said at the quartermaster gen.
erals office that the City Of Picking,
with over 1000 men, will leave San
Francisco on Thursday for the Philip
pines.
Brig. Gen. Otis is expected to
go with the first detachment of troops
for the Philippines, to be followed later
by Gen. Merritt, who is to be the COM
mander-in-c chief Of the expedition, and
the military governor Of the islands.
ACCUMULATING SUPPLIES.
For the Philippine expedition the de-
partment is laying in store Of sup
plies which will, If necessary, keep the
army Of 10000 men for a period of six
months. For this purpose 2,16O,OO0 ra-
tons are being accumulated by the
cOmmissary department at San Fran
cisco for shipment from time to time
to Manila.
A ration will last a soldier for one
days food supply. A large consign-
Inent will be taken out on the City Of
Picking, which is to sail the latter part
of the week, and which has been de-
layed In it's departure because Of many
alterations that were necessary to ac-
commodate the supplies.
Enough beef on the hoof will be taken
to supply the 1900 men who go aboard
of her for ten or twelve days, and for
the remainder of the trip bacon will
be the meat diet.
Lieut. Sidney A. Gloman has been ap-
pointed commissary, and will accom-
pany the expedition.
The quartermaster's department has
supplies of equipage, uniforms, ETC.,
at San Francisco, for 5000 men, and
additional ones will be purchased as
necessity arises. Canvas as we'll as
wooden uniforms will be taken for the
comfort of the men.
It is said here that the First Califor-
mia and portions of the Fourteenth
United States infantry may compose
the troops going on the Picking, al
Though this is net finally determined.

Fine Wash Goods

camp for the rendezvous of United
States troops has been established at
Lakeland, Fla, thirty-five miles east
of Tampa, on the Plant line system of
railroads. All the troops arriving there
yesterday are going into camp at that
place.
Lakeland is one Of the highest places
in Florida, well wooded, and Is supplied
by artesian wells. It Is situated in
what is known as the vegetable belt,
where the troops can be supplied with
vegetables of nearly all varieties. 1t is
supposed that 10000 or $4,000 troops will
be located at this point.
Lakeland is town Of about 1000 in
habitants, and is on the main west
coast line between Tampa, Richmond
and Washington.

NEW YORK DEFENSES.
Work Begun on Two Batteries t.
Cover the Harbor.

Cover the HarbOr.
NEW YORK, May 16-Work has
been begun upon the construction of
sand fort on Wards Point, the extreme
southwestern end CT Staten Island TIL.
plans provide for an emplacement $50
feet long, 20 fest in height and 40 feet
thick.
Behind this bank Of sand are to be
mounted a battery of heavy guns,
which will command Raritan bay and
the entrance to Staten Island sound
and RaIitan river. The work is in
charge Of Ii ut r. R. Raymond,
United States engineers, stationed at
Fort Wadsworth.
The guns are to be taken from Fort
Wadsworth by beat. and while there is
no landing place at the point, it will
be possible to beach a fiat bottomed
lighter at high tide and take off the
guns at low water. It is expected that
the fort will be Completed and the guns
mounted ready for action within a
week.
Work preparatory to the building of
Notifications on the west end of Gardi-
ner's Point, ON Gardeners island, near
the east end Of Long Island, is under
way. A big pier to extend 200 feet into
deep water is being built on the inner
side and will be used in facilitating
the work. These Notifications will re-
inforce the works en- Gull and Plum
islands, to the northeast.
In response to an order received from
Washington, the Third division of the
naval battalion has gone to Philadel-
phia to bring back for the defense Of
New York harbor the old monitor ia
son.
In view of the varied remarks Of pos
sible attacks on the New England coast
it is interesting to note that 1t is re-
marka bly, we'll defended. Boston har-
Dor is practically closed to any hostile
fleet. Every point Of any Importance
between Block island and Portland,
Me-, has some guns in commission and
men on duty to man them The signal
service is well established, and the
close approach Of a foe seems impos--
sible without ample warning being
given.

SCARCITY OF WATER.
1t May Result in the Transfer of
Troops From Tampa.

TAMPA, Fla, May 16.-Gen. Wades
tour of inspection of the different ports
On the east coast of Florida, that have
been under consideration as rendez-
vous for the volunteer troops, may re-
suit in the transfer of many of the
troops now located at Tampa to some
other point. The last two regiments Of
cavalry from Chickamauga, the First
and the Tenth, have been encamped
at Lakeland, and the Seventy-f1rst New
York and other volunteer troops soon
TO arrive will also go into camp there
The place is admirably suited for camp
ground on account Of the railroad IA
cilities and abundance of water. One
Of the chief difficulties the government
has to contend with is the supplying
of the troops with water. Most of the
supply has to be brought from ST. Pet
ersburg, about ten miles down the bay,
at an expense of cent gallon.
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet and the sta
ton at Key West depend in great
measure on the same source Of supply,
and this condition Of affairs has re-
suited in serious discussion as to the
wisdom Of keeping the base Of supplies
here.
Miami Beach, on account of it's album
dant water supply, it's harbor facilities
and also because it is much nearer
Cuba, has been favorably considered as
a rendezvous for the troops.
The big transport Orizaba left here
today for New Orleans, for the purpose
of bringing to Tampa some of the reg
ular troops located there.
Maj. Gen. Wheeler today took COM
rland Of the cavalry division of the
army, appearing for the first time since
1861 in the blue of the United States.
Gov. Bloxham and staff arrived here
today. The formation into regiment
Of the Florida state troops will be I'M
dertaken at once.

WELSH PRIZE SINGERS.

1t is impossible to fully describe the
pleasure given the immense audience
which filled the auditorium of the Jack
son street Baptist church last evening
at the concert given by the far-famed
Welsh Prize Singers. From start to
finish the audience, comprising nearly
all the lovers of good vocal music on
this side, at least, and many prominent
citizens, We're ON the qui VtVe, and
did not fail to properly express their
deep satisfaction at the end of each
selection.
The concert was made up of four
glees, eight single selections by the
several artists, and harp solo,
piano solo, two vocal duets and one
instrumental duet. Miss Jennie Parry,
royal harpist. and f. r. Davies, pian-
ist performed the instrumental selec-
tiOns, individually and i'm duet. They
alternated as accompanies to the SOLO
lists. Miss Beatrice Evans, r. A. NJ,

sonalty, was accorded an almost tenn
pestuous reception. and if she would,
she could have sung on through the
whole evening.
IT would be hard To select anywhere

VARIETIES OF EYES.
AS Many as Fifty Adjectives Applied
to Gray Eyes.
From IippinCOtt's.

From IippinCOtts.
Out of Il list of seventy adjectives
directly applied to gray eyes. no less
than nifty are descriptive of express
sion. If we may belive the evidence
of these words, which were not care
fully selected, but jotted down at ram
dom in the course of reading, al
most every shade of thought or feel
Ing is 'mirrOred in gray eyes; and not
only do the words represent great
NalietE in expression. but many OF
the qualities which they represent seem
dlanetrically opposed. Gray eyes are
reserved and candid, cold and cordial:
roguish and sad or pathetic: grave
ar genial, sinister and Guileless: earn
est, true, amiable, proud; yet tender,
Ihey may be Keen sharp, piercing
penetrating. but they are also soft, Sc
rene, mild, pensive, dreamy, trustful.
They are often severe, yet as often are
they sweet, timid, wistful, appealing
or kindly, bcamnS. loving sympathet-
IT,.
Now. when We turn To the descrip-
lions Of blue, brown or black eyes, We
shah find that these are brief COM
pared with the long and elaborate
descriptions of gray eyes, and they
y
usually refer To some peculiarly Of
size, shape, cOlOring or light, rather
'than Of description A good example
is the description of Lorna Doone's
large dark eyes, full of shadowy light.
"like a wood rayed through with sun
SET Brown and black eyes are almost
always represented as lustrOus, while
luminous Is most frequently used in
connection with gray eyes. Pathetic is
perhaps the adjective of expression
most often applied to brown eyes;
spiritual Is seldom used to describe
other than blue eyes; but TO these also
belong the bad eminence of being shift
~, while black eyes are distinguished
in the same way by the word beady.
Gray eyes are perhaps oftenest char
actererized as honest, and the worst
that is commonly said of them is that
they are cold or steely.
