Chattanooga. May 1L-The First and
Tenth Cavalry regiments departed this
morning for the South and now an infau-
try company. detained for guard duty
at the headquarters of Gen. Brooke and
his staff and about twenty men of the
signal corps. are all that are left to well
come the volunteers.
Camp Thomas yesterday had a pOpula-
tion of S.000; today it has about 80. To-
morrow it may have 19,ol0 and Monday
thrice that number. perhaps The Official
information reached Gen Brooke today
of the coming Of the volunteers. II was
the first that had come 20 camp. since
the message a few days ago that the
volunteer army would be modified here.
Gen. Brooke's information was that twen-
ty-nine regiments. one cavalry regiment
and four batteries of artillery of the vol
unteer army had been ordered TO Chick
amauga Nothing was said of the exact
number of troops. In relation 10 that
matter, Col. Sheridan, adjutant general
Of the corps, said today:
THE men at headquarters have merely
10 guess at the number of men who
are coming. I see by the press dispatches
that 2e.0GO are ordered. Our information
is purely by regiments and batteries.
However, I can approximate the number.
On a footing of war there are 100 in an
infantry regiment and the same number
in a cavalry regiment The peace foot
ing of - men to an artillery battery has
been increased to 173. The thing Is easily
figured out. Twenty-nine regiments of
infantry mean 34.S00 men: one cavalry reg
iment is 200; a battery of artillery in li3-

recruited up 10 the war time limit.
1T can safely be said. however, that

mobilized at Chickamauga. The voluH-
teers will begin to arrive tomorrow The
Illinois troops viii probably be the first
TO arrive, though the cavalry from Ohio
may beat them in. A large number of

There were a number of close finishes,
but the best race OF the day was the two

A HoTBED OF INTRIGUE.
Spaniards. Cnrlists and Secret Serv-
ice Men at Montreal.

Ottawa, Ont, May 1.-THE Windsor
Hotel, Montreal is just now hOt-bed of
Spanish intrigue. First of all there is the
former Spanish minister TO the United
States with his suite. Then there are the
Carlists, and finally there are the guests
registered from New York and Chicago,
who are supposed to be members of the
United States secret service. and whose
actions in relation TO the Spaniards GER
tainly justify the supposiuon. In addition
TO these there are certain English-looking
men, who make up their lack of numbers
by the frequency with which they cali
and hold mysterious consultations with
the Spaniards.
In the day time the Spaniards keep
very quiet thing which is not to be
wondered at, considering the unearthly
hours which most of them keep. There is
also constant travelling between the
Windsor and the new residence of the
Spanish consul general. The strangers
from New York and Chicago are con-
stantly on the watch in the rOtunda of the
hotel and elsewhere and should a party
of SDaniards move abroad one of the
Americans will follow just sufficiently
close to observe all their movements but
not to excite their suspicion.

The New York Journal prints the fol-

Rome. May IA have just had a con-
versatlon with Cardinal Rampola, who
said: The Pope will join in any step the
powers may take to prevent a continual
ton of the war. With the victory at the
Philippines the United States has given
complete satisfaction to Spain's national
pride. 1t would be a serious fault to con-
tinue the barbarous. disastrous war. The
United States cannot desire to deprive
Spain OF all her colonies. Spain is now
no longer isolated. She can resign her
self to making painful territorial sacrifices
TO which she is advised by the whole of
Europe. but Spain cannot sacrifice every
thing. Europe will not permit it

MINERAL WATERS EXEMPT.
House Committee VIII Consent 10
the Removal of the Tax.


1t is now generally understood that
the Ways and Means Committee Will
consent to the elimination from the
war revenue bill Of the tax on mineral
waters.
A most determined and aggressive
fight has been made against this pro-
posed tax. Representatives Of mineral
water interests. both domestic and
foreign, have been unremitting in their
opposition to this feature Of the bill.
They start with the proposition, which
cannot be denied, that water is not q
beverage; that it is an absolute ne
cessity, and that mineral waters, pos
sessing curative and healing proper
ties. are peculiarly necessary. They
make the further argument that TO tax
mineral waters would have the effect
Of diminishing their use and perha ps
Increasing the use Of liquors. This
argument is one that Chairman Ding
ley Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, as an ardent supporter of the
Maine prohibitory Law and an advo-
cate Of the liberal use Of water, can
not contrOvert.
The result is that the committee will
consent 10 the omission Of mineral
waters from the list of taxable articles.
