Chickamauga, Ga, May 25. - Maj.
Gen. Wade, until recently in command
OF the Fifth corps at Tampa, reported
here yesterday to Gen. Brooke, having
been assigned by the war department
to the command of the Third corps now
being formed here. The first division
of the First army corps was reviewed
by Maj. Gen. James H. Wilson and
Inspector General Breckenridge and
staff, the latter carefully inspecting
the lines and declaring himself very
much pleased with the appearance and
conduct of the men on the field. AL
though no particular demonstration
was made, yet it a a spectacular
scene, doubly interesting because it
will go in history as the first great.
formal movement, by a large body Of
troops organized for the American
Spanish war. 1t is, moreover, said to
be the first review of the kind since the
civil 1t began before 8 O'clock.
The three brigades of the first division,
nine regiments, practically 5000 men,
formed a line of battle, the right wing
north of the historic Kelly field. Then
1t ran a mile along the ridge, a portion
Of the command forming in the rear a
second line as If for a
A Reserve In Assault.
After the usual formal inspection Of
the line. which took some time, the d.
vision formed and moved in columns
Of tours. changing direction twice un-
til on n line parallel with Gen. Wilson,
who sat on q magnificent horse in front
OF a group Of brilliant staff officers.
The lines were formed with remarka-
BILE rapidly and precision. Then, in a
column Of companies, that is, each
company marching in line, n behind
another, the division advanced in
splendid form. 1t was a grand sight
to witness, and all the veterans in the
camp enjoyed the unusual spectacle.
Each regiment in the lines had a rep
utation to maintain, and every COM
pany and individual was impressed
with the necessity of doing the best
possible. The result was singularly
gratifying. Gen. Wilson expressed
himself as delighted and very proud of
the fact that the division when ma
neuvered together for the first time
should net so much like regulars and
veterans. With the morning sun gfanc-
ing from polished arms and t%rappings
and the silken stars and stripes and
state flags waving in the breezes that
came from Missionary ridge, the sight
was a glorious me nd inspired the ut
NEST enthusiasn in both spectators
and the men in lines.

ships Which Didn't Work.
st. Paul, May o. The New York
Herald's special to the Pioneer Press
from Key West. Fla. says: That fer
tile Spanish brain that has been adopt
ing all sorts of devices to entice the
blockading ships within point blank
range of the Havana batteries has
been adopting a new expedient to de-
stroy warships.
The latest device is the sending
adrift of hulks made to resemble tor
pedo boats, after first loading them
with dynamite. in the hope that Amer
lean ships would ran them in the dark
les Several Of these hulks have
been sent out Of the harbor.
One was sighted two mornings ago
off Cardenas by the tug Hudson. 1t
was lying motion!ess and appeared to
be a torpedo boat. 1t had two tunnels
and a gun over the bow. Signaling the
tug Legion, ''That looks like one." the
Hudson steamed down and the Leydon
went along. The tugs opened fire at
three thousand yards and one OF the
shots knocked off a smokestack. which
proved to he a wooden structure. for it
few into splinters. Satisfied that the
boat was merely a derelict hull, the
tugs ceased firing.
A similar hulk was sighted by the
Wilmington the next day. This also
was rugged UP so that it would appear
at even a short distance to be a torpedo
boat destroyer. The Wilmington
blazed away and sunk the hulk. AS it
was sinking the forward part of the
craft was blown out and cans contain
ing explosives were picked up after
the wreck sank. These facts were re-
ported to Commodore Watson.

THE SAME OLD POLICY.

sagasta says the New Cabinet Will
Continue the Policy Of the Former
Ministry.
Madrid, May 22.-The ministers. in
full uniform, appeared in the senate.
Owing to the circumstances, the new
cabinet is alreaSy nicknamed the "cir-
cumstantial cl-binet." The premier,
Senior Sagasta, explained the minis
terial critics, and asserted that the
new ministry will continue the policy
Of the former ministry. He related
how "Spain did everything to avoid
war until America violated all recog-
nized diplomacy, attacked Spain with
an injustice unprecedented in the-a an.
nails of civilized history, and COM
PEELED Spain to respond with war for
war, which Spain would continue q
tout outrance Ito the utmost) until an
honorable peace is obtainable. This"
the premier continued, 'is a strong
policy, and the new government will
also energetically conduct negotiations
with European and other states."

of the department the shop work may
be confined to six days week. Mai.

the men he can possibly use, unless
fresh emergencies arise, in all depart
ments except harness making. He is
still in need of good harness men.

ROBBED A FARMER BOY.
Two Flynns and Peterson and Cudiff Bound
Over.

Oyefs
Earle Gierhart, an unsophisticated
youth from GeneseO. enroute for Lu-
Verne. Mimi, to work on farm, tar
ried in Rock Island Yesterday while
waiting for train. He found congo
nial and entertaining company in the
Flynn gang. They showed him the
sights, demonstrated to him that he
had few things to learn about poker,
and when the shades of evening began
to fall lured him to room on the
second floor of the American house,
where they robbed him of all the
money he had left-SI45.
This is the substance of the story
which Gierhart related to Magistrate
Stafford today, when James and Willie
Flynn, Ed Peterson and Bennie Cundiff
were brought into the police court to
answer charges of robbery.
States Attorney Searle prosecuted.
Gierhart says the lads treated him
well enough when he first met them
and he bought them several drinks.
He played penny ante" with the
boys, too, the game being waged in an
alley north of Second avenue. and
they flecced him out of IS cents
in short order. He did not see
that he was getting any benefit or en-
joyment out of this and quit. His
friends proposed a trip to the Ameri-
can house. He was agreeable. When
they reached the room the door was
closed. Gierhart asked what they in
tended doing with him. He was in
formed that they proposed to separate
him from his coin. He objected,
whereupon Willie Finn drew razor,
and James Flynn and Cundiff beer
bottles, and Peterson guarded the
door, and they told him he would be a
candidate for the undertaken if he did
not dig down. He obeyed. Pc
terson and Cundiff returned the por-
ton they got-70 cents.
Gierhart said he proceeded to the
police station and told his experience.
A few hours later the lads were ar
rested by Officers Lohse, Kramer and
McNeill.
The four boys were held to the grand
jury in $500 each. They went to Jail.
Frank Schaefer, proprietor of the Club
saloon on Eighteenth street, where
James Flynn said he bought bottle
Of whisky, was arrested for selling
liquors to minors, and his hearing
continued until Monday.
Bennie Cundiff had fairly gotten cut
of one scrape until he was into anoth.
er. Yesterday he was arrested for
the theft of Il ring from Woltmann' S
jewelry store, but was released on re-
storing the property to its owner and
after promising to behave in the fu-
ture. Bennie SAYS he is IA, Willie
Flynn is 16, James FLYNN Is. and Pc
terson II. They are tough gang
and have been source of constant
annoyance to the police.
The case against w. A. Corcorar
for resisting an officer came up fol
hearing in Justice Scrhoeder's court
this morning. The defendant asked
and was granted change of venue &c
Magistrate Stafford. The latter con
tinued the trial until 2 p. m. Monday
on request of Mr.. Corcoran.
