stock of coal at st. Thomas. West

tons were on schooner lying in the
harbor. Twice NE the war broke out
the United States has aval.ed itself of

each was bound for the nearest home

that there had been no breach of neu-
trality However, 1t appears that there
Is now a disposition exhibited by the
Danish auth orite s to prevent the Unit
ed States ships from using this COAL
and as there Is no question of their
right to lay down such rule the coal
itself probably will be let alone.
Fortunately there is no particular
need for 1t. as there are other means Of

is one which will be used as a strong
argument for the establishment Of coal

afternoon. In his reply General Toral
referred to his refusal to accede. to the
American demand made on Sunday, and
again reiterated his determination to

TOral Preparing for the Fight.
General Toral, realizing the weakness
Of this flank, has been busy during the
existence Of the truce in doubling back

in the direction from which he is
threatened. Most of General Ran

PAY DAY AT cHIeKAMAUGA
Preparations for the Front Have Not Been

Travel Rations Have Been Received
and Distributed So That There
Shall Be No Delay.

CHICKAAfAUGA, CHATTANOOGA Ma
TTONAL MILITARY PARK, July 2-To-
day has been another excessively warm
one at Camp Thomas, and the men have
again experienced trouble In getting
through with their drills.
The work Of paying the army was the
main feature of the day. number of
regiments. whose pay rolls have been
checked and approved. were paid before
noon. The work is now systematized, and
hereafter at least six regiments a day will
be paid. The whole army will be disposed
Of in very short time.
Although the army now in camp here has
received no immediate orders to move to
the front, preparations for such an event
are going on.
Ever since the arrival Of this army the
southern. Western and Atlantic, Chatta-
nooga, Rome and Southern and Alabama
Great Southern have concentrated q large
number of passenger coaches at this point.
These cars remained on the sidings in a
rather promiscuous order until today, when
the two former roads began the work of
Strengthening out and making these cars
up into trains of one freight, three bag
gage and nine passenger cars.
Major Nye, commissary of subsistence of
the Chattanooga depot, is engaged in pre-
pairing for movement of the army. Dur
ing the past several days he has shipped
to the park a quantity of "travel rations,' -
canned corned beef. hard tack, canned sal
mon and other prepared and cooked food,
sufficient to last the army for ten days.
The supplies have been portioned out to
the commissariat officers of the park SO
that when the time comes to leave for the
front every soldier can secure his travel
rations."

SOLDIERS FOUGHT FIRES
Flames Dangerously Near Tents and Maya
zine Of Fort Baker.
No Serious Damage Was Done - Hard
Work to Get Transports for
Manila Expedition.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-The troops at
the Preside and Lime Point were called
out last evening to fight grass fires The
flames at Lime Point approached danger
ously near the tents and magazine of Fort
Baker. About 800 acres were burned over,
but no serious damage was done.
Major General Otis has not yet desig-
mated the troops to go on the next expedi-
ton to Manila. 1t is known, however. that
Major General Merritt is especially anx-
ious that the LIST New York Volunteers
should be dispatched speedily, and they
will probably have a place in the next
fleet.
The difficulty experienced in obtaining
steamers for transport service has caused
the government to seek for sailing vessels
which may be available. Several have been
examined. and it Is understood that the
ship Tacoma will be chartered to carry
stores and military supplies to Manila.
Colonel Smith Of the 1st Tennessee Vol
unteers asked Major General Otis for a
board Of supervisors to pass on the uni
forms issued to his regiment. The colonel
asserts the garments were made in China
town and are worthless. After ten days
wear they are in worse condition than the
old uniforms worn by the troops on their
arrival here.
General Merriam has ordered Major Gen.
eral Frank w. Hess of the Sd United states
Artillery to proceed to Fort Candy, Wash,
where he will be permanently stationed.
The steamship Acapulco. from Panama
and way ports, has arrived here The
Umatilla, from Puget sound and British
Columbia, also reached quarantine, and the
City of Panama is expected from Central
America within few hours.
1t Is understood that these three vessels
will be taken by the government for trans
port purposes. The City of Puebla and the
Peru are rapidly being fitted up. and the
departure of the fourth fleet to Manila is
expected to be set for July 10.
The idea Of sending each ship off as it is
ready, without waiting for a fleet has not
been favorably considered. and the next eA-
petition will be similar to those that have
preceded it, although the term fleet is
variable, and may Include anything from
three to fifteen vessels.
Maj. Gen. Otis has announced no definite
plans in reg lrd to his own departure. Ac-
cording to present Indications, he will not
go until the final fleet sails through the
Golden Gate.
One hundred ard four recruits for Bat
teries A and D of the Utah Artillery have
arrived at Camp Merritt. They are IN
charge of Lieut.. Wedgwood and are not
equipped The men were received at the
ferry by the ladies Of the Red Cross So
cIety and given breakfast. They then
marched to camp and waited in the hot
sun for some one to furnish them tents.
The Alger Light Artillery Battery will
probably move over to the Preside today
to join the forces at Camp Miller.

conference with the District Commission
ers today relative to the lease by Freed

buildings 1t will be recalled that the
beard of visitors appointed to Investigate
the affairs of the hospital by the Secre-
tary Of the Interior recommend that the

of all the buildings. 1t having been stated
by the beard of visitors that the university,
which owns the grounds and buildings, had

session Of them. Mr.. Barnard and DR..
Shadd assured the Commissioners that in
stead of there having been an encroach-
ment upon or interference with the hos
pital by the university. the latter had
granted the hospital authorities much more
room than the lease called for and had
made many improvements for which no
extra charge had been made.
The Commissioners decided to refer the
letter of the Secretary of the Interior, in
which he desired them to consider the
recommendations of the board of visitors
before renewing the lease. to the trustees
OF the university.
