panying them as a convoy
The two detachments from the heavy
artillery and Col. Summers of the oregon
regiment have been unofficially informed
that they are expected to break camp
Monday morning. The official orders Will
doubtless be received by Col. Summers and
Capt. Geary tomorrow.
Gen OTIS said to-day: The First Regi-
ment, California troops, will be loaded on
the City of Pekiug early Monday morn
ing Further than this Gen. Otis refused
to be quoted, but it Is understood that the
Oregon troops viii sail on the Peking
1t has been decided that the Sixth Call
fornia and the Washington volunteers are
to remain here for Pacific coast defenses.
The Tenth United States Infantry ordered
to this city, will join the expedition to the
Philippines.
The Preside was the center of sttrac-
ton all day. The published report that
the First Regiment. California volunteers
would embark on the City of Peking to-
morrow, drew thousands of people to thor
camp to say goodbye.
As early as s o'clock the cars leading to
the Preside were crowded and all day
long the same condition of affairs pre-
vailed.
Services were held by the different regi-
ments on a sloping hillside at one end of
tAtC camp LIE men SlOOu dA pace rest
and listened to the patriotic utterances Of
their respective chaplains. At the con-
clusion of the religious services, the vari-
Gus regiments marched in review, each
headed by It's band. The reviewing officer,
Brig. Gen. Otis, was highly pleased
The Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming
soldiers are in camp, and wed with each
other in expression of hospitality.
Drilling at both camps is almost inces-
SAINT. and a more willing lot of soldiers was
never seen.
The City of Peklng may get away by to-
morrow night, but will probably not start
before Tuesday. The coast defense vessel
Monterey is now lying in the stream, and
will be ready to start as soon as she re-
ceives a supply of coal. BY carrying an
adequate supply of coal the Monterey can
reach Honolulu, but from that point TO
Manila she will have to be accompanied by
a collier or else taken in tow by one Of
the transport steamers.
The steamers City of Sydney and Aus
tralia may possibly be ready to sail on
Tuesday, and there is some talk of having
them go with the Peking, but 1t is prob
able that the original plan will be adhered
to- and that each of these ships will sail
as soon as ready without waiting for any
other.
Tonight there are 124S6 enlisted soldiers
Ia this city. After the first embarkation
takes place tomorrow morning it is not
likely that the number of soldiers in the
city will exceed the present total.

ton is we'll on her way to Manila. The big
cruiser passed through the Golden Gate
at $40 this morning, after having been
anchored in the stream all night.
She adjusted her compasses at an early
hour and then passed up the bay through
Raccoon straits and passed the docks on
the northern frontage of the city.
Every steam vessed in the harbor blew
au revoir to Capt. Glass and his crew
None of the forts in the harbor saluted
the vessel. but the demonstration made
by the 5000 soldiers gathered at the re-
sideo was tremendous.
When the vessel was sighted coming
down the bay the soldiers gathered on the
beach to bid her bon voyage. They lined
the beach for Il mile and cheer upon cheer
rang out from the men who are to soon
follow the Charleston to the scene of Ad-
miral Dewey's triumph.
The Charleston's big siren answered the
boys on the beach time and again and the
whistling was heard from one end of the
city to the other.

Tampa Bay Hotel. Tampa, Fla. May q.
A change was made to-day in the Ioca-
tion Of the Ohio regiments. The battalion
that was stopped at Plant City yesterday
was brought to Tampa to-day, and camp
was established in De Soto Park, about
two miles from Tampa. The camp site is
near Palmetto Beach one of the prettiest
places on Hillsboro bay. The officers and
men Of the Third and Fifth Ohio volun-
teers spent Sunday hard at work. and 1t
was long after dark tonight until the
Third succeeded in getting their supplies
10 their camp SO that supper could be
served and cooked. Dozens OF six-mule
teams were kept busy all day hauling the
camp equipment, and the men got down to
work Just the same as the regulars. The
exercise was violent. but the men stood
It well, and the hospital tent Is still empty.
The Second Regiment of Georgia volun-
teers Is also camped in De Soto Park,
their camp being about a half mile from
the Ohio regiment, and already the men
are becoming acquainted, and friendships
are being formed that will last through
out the war. Some Of the officers of the
Georgia and Ohio regiments are already
making plans to have their respective COM
mands placed in the same army corps. IL

An electric car line runs to DE Soto Park

SENIOR LEON DECLINES.
Prefers Ills Post at Paris to the For
eign Secreturyship.

London. May 2S.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
zone point of interest "a the construc-
ton Of the cabinet lies IN the obstinate
refusal Of Senor Leon Castillo. the Span
ish ambassador TO France, to accept the
foreign secretaryship Every consideration
has been brought to bear in vain. His first
reply to the premier's request expressed
the conviction that the interests OF Spain
would be best served by his remaining at
Paris. Senior Sagasta answered, pointing
out that the head of the government was
the best judge of the interests of the
Fatheriand, and insisting upon the ambas-
sadors acceptance. To the surprise Of
everybody, the ambassador persisted ia his
refusal. ana promised in a personal inter
view to prove to Senor Sagasta that it
would be a grave mistake for him to leave
Paris
Il am enabled to state that the ambas-
sador's motive for refusal was the fol-
lowing: SeuOr Sagasta's cabinet Is by its
own formal declaration determined 70 car
ry on the war with all possible yigor
whereas Senor Leon Castillo Is aware
that Spalns friends among the Powers
France in particular, are resolved to IN
sist upon her suing for peace at the fret
favorable moment. France possesses n
two-fold interest in having peace conclud-
ed-hnancial and political The former
would be severely damaged II Spain were
utterly ruined and the latter would suffer
if the United states retained permanent
possession of the Philippines.
THE leading idea which actuates the
statesmen responsible for the political
scheme favored by Senor Leon Castillo
is that Spain must be worsted in the long
run. It Is advisable TO save as much as
possible from destruction, and that the
sooner peace is concluded the more tolera-
Bile will be the terms acqulesced IN by the
United States. The most important of
these terms in the eyes Of spains friends
and protectors Is the possession Of the
Philippines. which can be utilized for fur
ther political combinations later on"

ORGANIZATION IN ALABAMA SLOW
Companies Want to Preserve Their
Name and Organization.


Name and Organization.
Mobile, Ala, May 22.-The Alabama vol
unteers are organizing slowly. The First
Regiment still requires twenty-five men.
The Second Regiment is short several hun
drcd
The difficulty arises from the fact that
the military companies belonging to the
national guard want to preserve their
name and organization. The most of these
companies have not more than thirty or
forty men and, their communities being
small this number cannot he increased to
the regulation number of eighty. To merge
with companies frona other communities Is
to lose name and sometimes history ex-
tending through two wars.
The battalion which is to be composed of
negroes exclusively will be brought to
camp here on Tuesday. The negroes have
volunteered far in excess of the call, and
the pick of the number will give one of
the finest bodies Of troops the South will
contribute. The battalion will have white
officers.

bama volunteers, received orders today to
report to the Fourth Army corps in camp
near Mobile with hts regiment. He ex-

against English and Americans, and that
