Secretary AlgeI late Saturday evening
summoned Gen. Mics, Aujutant General
Corbin and the heads of the supply de-
partments to IS office fo- the purpose
of going over the entire situation regard
ing the arming, equipping and assignment
of volunteer troops now being mustered
into the service of the Government.
The conference was a long one and dur
ing its course the entire situation was
thoroughly discussed, with the result that
the Secretary of War made an order for
the assignment Of the troops 10 Chicka
mauga, Washington, Tampa, San Fran
cisco, Key West, New Orleans, Mobile
and to the various department command
ers and designated the points where they
will be assembled.
Adjutant General Corbin in speaking of
The times., 1898-05-16

the conference with reporter for The
Times authorized the following statement
TO be published regarding the matter dis
cussed at the meeting.
He said:
After going over the situation last
evening with Gen. Miles. the adjutant
general and the heads of the supply de-
partments the Secretary of War made
an order for the assignment Of volunteer
troops and designated points where they
will assemble with the least possible de-
lay
This step was rendered necessary from
the fact that the State authorities are
very fast relinquishing control of troops
that are passing over the muster line un-
der the authority Of the General Govern
nent.
"It has become necessary 10 assemble
these troops at once in order TO meet the
problem of their subsistence no less than
that OF their equipment in the way of
arms, clothing, camp and garrison equip
age TO say nothing of the superior ad
vantage of drill and instruction that will
be had under trained officers as il is the
intention that it shall be in every in
stance.
THE officers to organize these troops
into brigades and divisions will be deter
mined upon very soon and be ordered to
stations accordingly.
THE impression that seems to obtain
that any particular corps or camp will
have superior advantage over others in
being sent TO the front is wholly erro-
neous. The distribution of camps was
made upon the lines of transportation and
supplies The supply department will
have depot in each camp which can be
more readily reached than the troops
could at their rendezvous in their several
States.
I'm addition to the camps named, the
troops that will report to the command
ing general of the Department of the
East, amounting to about an army corps,
will probably be encamped at some point
on Long Island. This, however, has not
been fully determined, but a camp on the
seacoast with the best shipping facilities,
both by rail and sea- will be selected;
and as soon as determined troops as
signed 10 the department commander will
go into camp there under his supervision.
"At the close of work Saturday at 6
o'clock the total number of troops mus
tered was $1,000 Taking into considera-
ton the careful physical examination to
which these men have been subjected the
progress has been wonderfully rapid.
Gen Corbin said that in assigning the
troops to the various rendezvous no regi-
ment has any advantage over another in
being sent to the front, except that the
first troops ready to move viii be the
ones ordered to participate in the first
movement whenever made.
The intention of the Government in this
regard has been illustrated no better than
in the instance of Capt. Green's Seventy
First New York Regiment and Capt.
Clark's First Massachusetts Regiment,
which are already en- route to Tampa.
The following official assignment Of
volunteers was announced by Adjt. Gen.
Corbin, with the approval of Secretary
AIger and Gen. Miles:

A DAREDEVIL DESTROYER.
John 4. Peer Tnvents Marvellous
Submarine War Vessel.


Submarine War Vessel.
The Holland submarine boat has a,com-
petitor. though the competitor exists only
on paper. John a. Peer is the inventor.
and he has applied for patents on several
Of the devices applied on his strange
craft. These devices are startling, if Mr..
Peers word is all right The leading
feature Of the protected craft is that it is
TO be propelled by explosions Of gun pow
der and is expected to attain speed Of
fifty knots an hour.
Inventor Peer called on the Secretary
of the Navy Saturday and laid before him
the plans for this new submarine steam
er. Mr.. Peer styles his device the dare
devil destroyer" He holds that his inven-
ton will be particularly effective in coast,
harbor and river warfare, and that it
may be useful also as an auxiliary to
warships far at sea. 1t is claimed that
the destroyer is different from anything
else in modern war. The plans compre-
hend craft OF the following dimensions:
Length, sixty feet; beam, fourteen feet;
mean draft, ten feet six inches, though
the draft may be diminished materially
when the necessity arises.
The destroyer is TO carry four engines,
TO be driven by successive explosions of
gun powder, and which, it Is calculated,
will develop power equal TO 1000 horse
power As the boat will have displace-
ment Of sixty tons and 2.090 horsepower,
it is maintained that she should travel
fifty nautical miles an hour at mean draft
and twenty-five miles an hour when sub
merged. She is to be armored with steel
varying from two to four inches in thick
ness, and will carry two 6-inch rifles.
rf~H-g
ament for SO small craft, but it is the
armament called for in the plans These
rifles are TO fire either shells. canister
or bombs. On the bow of the boat is a
device for disa bling mines and torpedoes
by cutting their cables.
Mr.. Peer told the Secretary of the Navy
that with four or five of these destroyers,
properly manned. he could annihilate a
navy and devastate the Seaboard of any
country in the world. Mr. Peer has fig
ured that ii viii require the following
crew to man the ship: Captain, mate, two
engineers, two assistant engineers, two
gunners and seven marines.
Mr.. Peer said that the principal aim in
designing the destroyer had been to con-
struct everything connected with the boat
with such regard to simplicity that she
might be operated by men of ordinary
skill The inventor said to the Secretary
of the Navy: with this boat I cannot
fail to meet the emergency of the times" :"

mauga. The troops were in charge of
Col. Ralston and Lieut.. Col. Price. On
their arrival here the soldiers were greet
ed by a large crowd of citizens and were

W. WOODRUFF GONE
The President of the Mormon Church
Expired Today at San
Francisco.
KIDNEY TROUBLE THE CAUSE
He Was One of the Original Pioneers
Into Salt Lake Valley in l847 with
Brigham Young, and Strong
Character.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept L. A
private telegram was received here to-
day from Hon. George q. Cannon, now
in San Francisco, announcing the death
of President Wilford Woodruff, of the
Mormon church, at 5 o'clock this morn
ing. Kidney trouble was the cause.
President Woodruff was born at Farm
ington, Conn. lin 1907, and was one of the
original 147 pioneers who reached Salt
Lake valley in 1s47. He was president
of the church for ten years.
The deceased preceded the late John
Tylor as president of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" and
before his elevation to the church preSi-
dency was president of the quorum OF
the Twelve Apostles. In his earlier
days he is reported to have been a
Methodist minister, being converted to
Mormonism by Brigham Young. Presi-
dent Woodruff came west with the first
through emigration, suffering with his
people all the hardships incidental to
Sucha journey in those days: travelled
extensively as missionary both in this
country and in Europe, and has all his
lllo luIu dllu cul loI tIC
advancement of the cause of the Latter
Day Saints according to Joseph and Hy
rum Smyth, and lived a life above re-
proach. 1t was hard for him to see
politics mixed up in church affairs. and
more than once it was understood
that relations between him and some
of his high official brethren were badly
strained on this account. Everybody,
Gentle and Mormon in Salt Lake liked
''Brother Woodruff because of the sim
plicity and integrity of his character,
and though he held strongly to his be-
lief in polygamy, he issued his famous
setting it in abeyance on
realizing the inability of the church to
longer oppose the popular will.
The deceased is to be given a
funeral in Salt Lake that will be at
tended by members of the church from
all over the world. He was in California
on account of his health.

THE HORTICULTURAL FAIR.
Most Profitable and Enjoyable Exhibition
Ever Given in New Mexico Will Be Held
in Santa Fe Next Week-Some
of the Attractions

On next Wednesday the second annual
exhibition of fruits, flowers and vege-
tables, under the auspices of the New
Mexico Horticultural society. will open
in this city, and will continue for three
days. The same buildings on the Fort
Marcy reservation that were used last
year, will contain the exhibits this year.
and the ladies on the decoration COM
mittee have given their pledge that there
will be no lack of appropriate settings
for the displays.
Those who were present at the first
fair still have pleasant remembrances
of the big red apples, purple plums,
lncious peaches, and other beautiful
fruits so temptingly displayed; the array
of celery and sugar beets and products
from the Pecos valley, and the good
times socially that were enjoyed while
viewing the products of the Land of
Sunshine. To state that a far more en-
joyable three days are anticipated next
week, would be making conservative
statement.
The ladies reception committee, under
the able leadership of Mrs. M. A. Otero,
is preparing a series of pleasant sur
prises for all visitors, and there will be
no lack of amusement for those who
attend.
The displays of fruits, flowers and
vegetables will be much larger and
varied than last year. The success of
the first annual fair was so great that
increased interest in the benefits to he
derived from sending exhibits to Santa
Fe during the fair was awakened, and
many additional orchards and vineyards
will be represented. The gardens of
the different sections of the territory
will contribute to the general effect,
and one of the most complete expositions
of the possibilities of the territory as a
land of plenty is confidently expected.
In addition to the fair proper. a pleas
ing program of amateur sports is pre-
pairing. Bicycle races, base ball games,
and contests on the Santa Fetennis courts
will take place every day, and those
who enjoy the excitement of skill in
these athletic pastimcs will find plenty
to occupy their time.
The past year has been one of un-
usual prosperity in New Mexico. and
nearly everybody in the territory is en-
titled to Il holiday. Where can week
be spent with more pleasure and profit
than in the old city of Santa Fe. The
places of historical interest, the horti-
cultural fair, the games and sports, and
the Incompatible climate will all COM
bne to furnish visitors with the most
occasion of their lives.
Santa Fe is prepared to entertain all
comers in the most hospitable manner,
and no one who can arrange business
to that end, can afford to be
absent from the second annual horti-
cultural fair.
