MAYORS OFFICE ITEMs.-A station
ed military adjunct to the police force
of Alexandria, the Mayor says, is not
deemed at all necessary, IS the civil
suthoritips he is satisfied are well
able to cope with oil soldiers coming
iuto the city from camp on leave oil
absence. Where large bodies of troops
pass through the city the commanding
officers Of such troops will, of course,
be held responsible for any excuses,
and if such officers should fail to re-
strain the men under them the War
Department will be furnished the
names and charges against said officers.
No more trouble is anticipated than Is
created in college towns in the North
where football games and boat races
temporarily throw matters into bois.
ferrous confusion and where for the mo-
ment noisy disorder reigns. The Mich
igan troops that passed through yester.
day were highly commended for good
behavior and excellent discipline, but
this compliment cannot be justly be
slowed upon the men who come here
from Fort Sheridan and whose conduct
has been the subject OF so much IN
favorable comment that to-day the
Mayor in a communication to the colo
mel took occasion to suggest the cur
tailment of passes to visit Alexandria
during the passage of large bodies of
troops from Camp Alger through the
city He mentioned also that while the
extraordinary circumstances at present
surrounding us warranted relaxation
of laws against disorderly conduct on
the part of soldiers, yet did these laws
impartially apply to soldiers as well as
to citizens.

CAMP ALGER NOTES Yesterday
400, 900 rounds OF blank cartridges were
distributed among the troops. These
are to be used iu big sham battle,
which will take place on Saturday or
Monday, according to when Gen. Mel
son A. Miles can be present to inspect
the battle. Each company in camp has
received $500 rounds, so the day will
be a round of firing. Thirty thou
sand troops will take part in the big
struggle, and the cavalry will slso be
put to work capturing prisoners and

An officer of the Third Virginia Regi-
ment who was in Washington yester'
day and he'd called 81 the War Depart
ment. said he had been informed that
the regiment would leave for Cuba, via
Newport News, on Saturday next. He
said that no orders to that effect had
vet been issued, but he was assured
they would be in the next day or tWo
Commenting on the matter, he said the
regiment was not properly equipped
and armed. Not more than 400 men
had rifles. and the majority of the men
were not efficiently drilled, even in the
manual of arms, not to speak OF field
exercises. 1t is not thought, however
that the Third will go, under the cir
cumstances, until the regiment is sup
piled with arms and accoutrements,
and the men ere properly disciplined.
