Lakeland, as rendezvous point, probably
will be abandoned for the present. The four
regiments at that point, all of which are
embraced in the Fifth Army Corps Gen.
Skaters command. will be moved to
Tampa. The Second Massachusetts is al
ready under orders to move, while the Sew
enty-first New York and the First and Tenth
United States Cavalry will be brought here
as soon as possible. Within the next week
the Fifth and Seventh Army Corps may
take place. Brigadier General Young. COM

Generals Shafter and Wheeler relative to
the removal of his command to Tampa.
Upon the report of Lieut. Miley, of Gen.
Skaters staff, who is inspecting prospec-
tive camp grounds al Miami and other east
coast points, will depend in a great meas
ure the number of troops to be placed along
the east coast. Should his report be favor
able it is probable that the five regiments
of volunteer troops at Tampa and the Sew

coast. The quartermasters and commits

AT LAFAYETTE's TOMB.
Speeches by Ambassador Porter and
NJ. BarthOIdi.

PARIS, May 3O.-With view to check
the blatant pro-Spanish feelings here and
enlist the sympathy of Frenchmen on the
side of America a special effort was made
by the American colony to-day to do honor
to the memory of Lafayette. A big gather
ing proceeded to his tomb in the Pichpus
Cemetery which was decorated with
wreaths and mutual flags The United
States ambassador, General Horace Porter.
deposited the American wreaths, and in an
eloquent speech referred to Americas debt
to Lafayette and the "unbreakable ties be-
tween the two peoples" He was warmly
applauded.
M. Bartholdi followed in the same strain,
but he said he deplored the fact that 1T has
been revealed that there existed a new
spirit among modern Americans (which
differed from the traditions of the found
ers of the Republic" Continuing, NJ. Bar
tholdi said Frenchmen looked to General
Porter and Americans like him ITO keep the
United States faithful to the great prin-
ciples of liberty and justice which presided
at the birth of the Republic"
The military band present played the
American and French anthems, and all
those who attended the ceremonies defiled
before the tomb.

CRUISER ST. LOUIS OFF AGAIN.
Strikers Returned Rather than Be
Termed towards and Deserters.

NEW YORK, May 30,-The auxiliary
cruiser st. Louis sailed from the American
line pier to-day. Just as the ship was draw
ing out from the dock and about one hum
dred feet from shore a messenger boy
rushed up to Officer o Berne, of the harbor
police, and handed him a sealed message
to be delivered to Captain Randle, of the
ST. Louis. 1t could not be learned what the
message contained or where it came from.
This morning the coal passers, fremen
and trimmers struck claiming they had not
been treated fairly and demanding their
ray The strike threatened to delay the yes
sells sailing. but was peacefully adjusted
about half hour before the vessel left.
Deputy United States Commissioner Martin
j. Harrigan addressed the strikers on the
pier and his words seemed to have the right
effect He appealed to them Ia return to
duty, saying that if they refused they would
be counted as towards and deserters. Out
of the 800 strikers all but forty-one returned
to duty The PAGES of the men who refused
to return were at once filled from the many
who stood CT the pier anxious to serve. 1t
was stated urCfficially that the St Louis
would proceed at once to Key West and
return to this port again in ten days.

A Tribute to Those Who Fell on tn
Field at Gettysburg.

Field at Gettysburg.
WASHINGTON, May 30-In letter ex-
pressing his regrets that he could not take
part in the exercises at Gettysburg to-day
the President said:
Thine only enhances the lasting value
and demonstrates anew the true significance
of these inspiring patriotic observances
Whatever may be the character OF its tenn
porary problems, this liberty-loVlng Nation
is not and never can be forgetful or the
immortal heroes of the civil war For those
who served as we'll as for those who fell
at Gettysburg-now so peaceful ana beau-
tifully adorned with the highest creations
of the SculptorS art-our reunited IelloW-
countrymen, without regard to locallty
creed or political faith, have an abiding re-
spect and the most cordial esteem. To-day
those who contended on this historic held
nearly thirty-five years ago and their de-
scendants are mastering under the same
flag, enthusiastic in their devotion to the
Nation and willing to make any sacrifice
for its honor. The debt of gratitude which
we owe to the Nations defenders can never
be completely repaid either by this or
future generations; yet the acknoWledg-
ment of this obligation each year in various
forms and in a multitude of places through
out this broad land purifies our ideas and
brings us all nearer together in sympathy
of sentiment and unity of purpose.
mo time could be more appropriate than
the present to approach in nttlng spirit
these sacred themes of the love of country
and the rights of man. Generations come
and go and the issues for which they fought
and died pass into history. But the living
principles of undertakings worthily accom-
plished for an unselfish purpose abide FOR
ever and guide us to another destiny and
still greater achievements as a nation.

Mechanics Removing the Damaged
Plates from the Cruisers Hull.

NEW YORK, May 3O.-The cruiser CO.
lumbia was placed in dry dock this after
noon. During the day a number of me-
chanics and laborers were at work ripping
out the damaged plates. The collier
Leonidas left the yard to-day and the col
lier Pompey in command of Captain Far

destination of neither vessel was made
known, but it is understood that they are
bound for southern waters.
WASHINGTON, May S0-Secretary Long
to-day received dispatch from Admiral
Bunce, commander of the New York navy
yard, stating that the cruiser Columbia had
been in collision at sea and that one of her

Heroes of the Maine Remembered.

DETROIT, Mich, May 3O.-Memorial day
was celebrated here as usual to-day, al
though the absence of young militiamen who
hitherto escorted the veterans in their pa
rade was keenly apparent. At the base of

Gated to the heroes of the Maine as well as
those of the rebellion. Governor Pingree
and staff formed prominent feature at the
head of the parade, in which the local
cadets and Independent military organiza-
tons took the place of the National Guard.
The veterans and their escort proceeded to
the Auditorium, which had been decorated
with national and Cuban colors. There
Mayor Maybury and others made addresses
and exercises in honor of the Nations dead
were held. One of the striking features at
the Auditorium was the singing of patriotic
songs by 400 children. The decoration OF
the graves of soldiers was looked after by
committees from the Relief Corps, most of
the flowers being furnished by the school
children,

account of this partial isolation the One
hundred-and-sixtieth Regiment has one of

To people who intend to visit the camp
from Indiana it would be impolitic to give
advice as to the best way of reaching their
friends on the tented field. This is best de-
ternined after reaching Chattanooga. The
officials run trains when they please out of
this city, and the only sure way of finding
when a scheduled train is to leave is TO call
up the station by telephone every five min
utes. morning train at $50 o'clock has
been fairly regular The fare to the park
over the railroad is reasonable, but at the
park transportation to the various regiments
is high, and the rate varies with the de-
mands of the passing hours. If big crowd
of civilians comes down, vehicle hire is 81
an hour, and the speed about two or three
miles an hour. If the crowd is small and
prospective riders few, the drivers may con-
descend to haul passengers a mile for 30
cents. The liverymen in Chattanooga keep
fine driving horses, as scrub ones would not
answer on the mountain roads. From "a to
Sc will engage a vehicle and team for the
drive between Chattanooga and the park.
1t takes about four hours to make the round
trip, not including the time spent in driving
about the ground But few of the officers
have been able to secure boarding places at
farm houses near the camp. Lookout

dence, although it is a long journey from
the top of it to Chickamauga.

After the ceremonies at the cemeteries there
was magnificent parade in the heart of the
city. The line of march was ablaze with
national colors. The city has never before
on Decoration day seen such an enthusiast
tic outpouring as greeted the old soldiers
to-day. Practically the whole population
turned out to honor the veterans and cheer
the volunteer defenders. The parade was
composed of six divisions and was partici-

of the city. Fhe cheers we're loudest when

the crowd was the tattered pennant from
the Inflated battle ship Maine, which was
borne in the ranks.
