lNsAN receives praise for the
fSlA1 selection of the Alaska
souvenir, "Views En- Route to
the Ktondike," as the papers
offering to its yearly subscribers.
This edition is the first to appear
in the West, and although great
haste was made in printing and
binding the book, its a marvel of
neatness and taste IN binding, and
the half-tones are better than any
book printed the last year. It
is not required that you be a
"boomer" for the Klondike to
appreciate this work. The actual
scenery of the country, with its
wild passes and trails, IS pre-
scented faithfully--no retouching
is done to make the route appa-

Major ParkhiIi Has Arrived and I. In
Charge Of the First Army Corps.
Chickamauga, Ga, June 19.-To- day
was an exceptionally beautiful day at
Camp Thomas, and n cool breeze con-
tinuously astir, made park life n de-
light.
1t was significantly day of rest
among the soldiers. All drills were
omitted and the Sabbath was generally
observed. In this respect, the day was
somewhat in contrast with many of its
predecessors. The chaplains of the VA.
rlous regiments held services and the
Y. NJ. c. A. and evangelical cohorts
were actively at work. The reverence
with which these services were listened
to and the general good order which
prevailed among the camps were sig
niiicant of n high moral tone which
pervades the entire army.
The soldiers Were forbidden to con.
gregnte at points of amusement and
practically all remained in camp, with
the exception OF some who had permis.
sion to spend the day on Lookout
mountain.
The effort OF General Boynton and
the Georgia authorities to restore order
NJ lytlc and rid the outskirts of gam.
bling houses has been productive Of
good results. At Lytle to-day all sa-
looms and gambling houses were her
metIcally sealed.
Six hundred recruits for various reg.
iments arrived during the day, making
total for three days OF nearly 1900.
Until the 1900 more have reached the
park the daily arrivals promise to in.
crease rapidly. Prominent among 10.
days arrivals Were the following:
Bri:adier General Peter G. HAYES,
Third division. First army corps; Brig.
adler General J. 7. Sanger. Sixth army
corps, under General Wilson: Major
Clayton Parkhill. United States chief
surgeon. First division. First army
corps. Major Parkhill had been ms.
signed as surgeon In General Mcrritt's
camp and was to have gone to Manila.

WILL PUSH THE WAR
A CONFERENCE AT wAsHlNo-
TON.
No Change In Plans-After Capturing San
tiago the Regulars win Go to Porto
Rico-Later Havana VIII Bo Attacked.

Washington, June 18.-The original
plans of the campaign of the war
against Spain will be adhered to, and
cisi0n was reached ut a war council
to-day, at which were present Presi-
dent Mckinley, Secretaries Alger and
Long, General Miles, Assistant Secre-
tary Msakeljohn, Admiral Sicard and
Captain Mahan.
OF course there will be some slight
notifications made necessary by the
changes that have occurred since the
beginning of hostillties, but these, after
all, will not affect the general plan of
operations. General Miles returned
from Florida with store of informa.
tion respecting the condition Of the
troops, difficulties to be explained In
progress Of the campaign and the mat
ter of transportation and terminal ia
cilities will be freely availed of to cor
rect the defects in the present system.
The stories that there has been fric-
ton between General Miles and his Of
ficial superiOrs are pronounced to be
absurd, and to-day the proceedings
gave ample evidence Of the fact that
the utmost harmony characterizes the
relations between the chief executive
and the military branch of the gov
ernment.
The official declaration that the cam
paign is to be pushed with vigor does
not necessarily mean an immediate at
tack upon Havana, although such ad-
vice has been rendered. 1t does mean
that the very best efforts are to be put
forth to put the army In condition
where 1t can be used with overwhelm-
Ing effect at any point. Mt almost a
moments notice. To this end the
troops now In camp are to be thorough
ly trained and hardened. With such
an army at command. numbering no
less than 100000. the fate of Havana
cannot long remain In doubt when once
the army Is hurled upon 1t.
Meanwhile. the smaller expedition
nry movements are to go forward un-
interrupted. When Santiago is cap
tured the trained regulars who do the
work there will he pushed on to Porto
Rico. II all or most of them are need

the points considered by Admiral
Sampson TO be most advantageous, and
the commanders OF the army and navy
speedily will decide where to land the
troops.
Tremendous enthusiasm was awak-
ened among the men with Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet by the arrival OF the
American troops. They gave cheer
after cheer, the report states, and
their enthusiasm met with nn equally
hearty response from the troop ships.
Long to be remembered was the
scene on the flagship sunday when
that grizzled warrior. General Calixto
Garcia, went on board with his staff.
He was suffering from wound In the
throat. He was travel stained and
worn, but erect and looking like n
born soldier. when the patriot chief
went aboard the officers saluied him.
the admiral greeted him cordially. and
the sailors ON some of the ships burst

The conference on the flagship did
not last long. General Garcia proved
himself to be n man Of great clcarness

expressed the opinion that General

Orders have also been issued TO Ma
jor General Brooke, commanding the

Owing 10 the exceptional facilities Of
fercd by Fernandina and Miami for
the embarkation OF an army. the secre-
tary Of war decided TO embark the
army for Porto Rico from these two
places. At both Fernandina and Mi
ami the water Is sufficiently deep to
easily float n transport ship Of any
size. The docking facilities at both
cities are excellent.
Major General Miles, proiiting by the
experience learned by General Shaf-
ter's department, has decided that his
army to Porto Rico will he sufficiently

Most Of the Porto Rican expedition will

which 1t was serious mistake on the
part of the Spaniards to arm, are now
all fighting in the rebel ranks. The
provinces of Batangas, Laguna, Ca
yite, Bulacan, Pampangu, Tralace and
Pangasiman are all in full rebellion.
1t Is believed Pampangu has had to
capitulate to the victorious rebels.
The Hong Kong correspondent of the
Daily Mail, telegraphing Sunday, says:
The native proclamation of independ-
ence will be signed on Monday. Ma
Mia Is completely surrounded by the
insurgents, of whom there are three
forces deployed about the city. The
success Of the rebels is wonderful. The
insurgents have captured old Cavlte
church, taking go prisoners, and they
now hold the entire shore of the bay
right around to Malate. A foreign fire
brigade. composed of British, Swiss
and Germans, intend to remain ashore.
