Only Three States Behind.

Washington, May 3l.-Adjutant-
General Corbin said today that
122, 800 troops had been mustered
into the volunteer army under the
call for 1875, 900 men, and that the
remaining 2500 were in state camps
ready for the visit of the mastering
officers. He said that all the states
and territories had filled their quota
so far as the recruiting of troops is
concerned, and that while three
states were apparently behind, it
was not their fault, but was due to
the inability of the mastering off
GERS to complete their work. The
apparent shortage is divided among
the states of Iowa, Mississippi and
North Carolina. The troops in
these states are in camp, however,
awaiting the action of the govern.
ment's officers, and will be mus
tered into the volunteer army in a
ddy or two.

The Troops Have Been Put in

THIRTY THOUSAND MEN AFL0AT.
They Will be Conveyed to Porto

Fleet.
THOUSAND MEN AFLOAT

Washington, May SO.-The move
ment to Cuba has begun. Unless
/ the orders of the war department
miscarry at an early hoJr this
morning the soldiers that have been
gathered at the gulf ports began to
break camp and march aboard
transports waiting to carry them to
the enemys territory, About
twenty-five of these ships, the big
gest and fastest that could be
obtained suitable for the purpose,
have been gathered ready toreceive
the troops They will accommodate
about 30, 600 men, for IN a voyage
like that from the gulf ports to
Cuba it is possible with safety and
comfort to carry a much larger
number aboard ship than would be
admissible in a the case of a cruise
to the Philippines for instance.
How many troops started this
morning, where they took ship,
and where they are bound are ques.
tions which the directing spirits of
the campaign refuse positively to
answer. They have no desire that
the Spanish should seize the oppor-
tunity afforded them to gather
forces to attack our forces on land.
There is a suspicion that the
start will be made from Tampa or
Mobile and it is probable that in
such case the fleets of transports
will converge at Key West to pass
under the conveys of the war ships
which Admiral Sampson has pro-
vided to secure the safety of the
troops during the passage across
the Florida straits to insure them
against attack at the hands of
some stray Spanish cruiser or gun
boat. 1t is probable that there
will be no less than four separate
military expeditions and that these
will be landed at four different
points.
Whether these troops will be
landed on Porto Rico or Cuba could
not be learned, but it is thought
that they will be distributed at
different places and remain until
the transports make several trips
for troops that cannot all be moved
at once. There is one thing Ger
tain we are going to mach on the
land forces and force the Spaniards
to fight whenever we find them and
will prosecute the war to the bitter
end until we hold peaceful posses
sion of all the Islands worth the
taking,

then the success of these works and
their growth have been phenomenal,
and when Alfred Krupp closed the busy
and successful and philanthropic work
of his life in 1887 at Villa Huegel, his
princely home on the side hills of the
valley of the Ruhe, the city of Essen,
in recognition of his great work, erect
ed in his memory beautiful monument
on the most prominent square of the
city, and deputations from many ma
tions mourned at his grave.
Essen is city of $4,000 inhabitants,
and over 10000 of this population are
employed in the works of the able and
energetic son of Alfred Krupp-Fried-
rich Alfred. Over !, 200 acres of ground
are covered with buildings and ma
chinery. Many coal mines furnish fuel
for the works, over 400 iron ore mines
furnish the metal, and large iron ore
deposits in Spain, near Bilboa, have
been purchased in addition, and spe-
cial fleet of steamers have been built
which bring over 100000 tons of this
Spanish ore from Spain to the German
coast and up the Rhine. Twenty fur
naces at Dulsburg and Neuwied-on-the-
Rhine are reducing this ore for the
Krupp works and are owned or con-
trolled by them.
The main street of Essen divides the
Krupp works into two parts, connected
overhead with innumerable mammoth
steam pipes and bridges, and parallel
with it, running east and west, the
tracks of the Rhenish railway pass the

FAMOUS GUNMAKERS.
The Three Krupps and Their Won
derful Works at Essen.
Twenty Thousand Men Are Employed
Constantly in the Main Estab-
lishment-Histor1 of the
Great Enterprise.

The city of Essex, says the Iron Age,
is located in the center of hilly valley,
which abounds in coal and iron ore,
and the digging for both and the melt
ing of the ore and casting of the metal
into ingots and rolling it into bars bave
been the occupations of the inhabitants
for centuries past. Frederick Krupp,
the founder of the great works bearing
his name, was born in 1887, and when
crucible cast steel was first being in
troduced in England, and its importa-
ton from there into Germany had been
made impossible through the edict of
Napoleon, called 'the continental
sperre," F Krupp began to produce cru
chile cast steel, first in small quantities
for files, stamps, rolls for coins and
shears, but only slowly could he con-
vince and persuade German manufac-
turers to use his cast steel, and after a
life full of disappointments and hard
ships, he died in 1926, after long and
severe illness, leaving his son Alfred
little else than the old homestead, which
still stands in the midst of the great
works, and the secret of his inven-
ton.
Alfred Krupp's energy and enterprise
soon conquered. His first success was
to be able to furnish cast steel of
varying degree of hardness, thereby
increasing it's adaptability for many
new purposes. Next came the inven-
ticn of the weldless car wheel tires,
which were patented in 1853 in all coun-
tries, and furnished him capital for
enlarging his plant. In 1865 he inter
ested himself in coal mi1fs, iron ore
mines and furnaces, which should fur
nish the material for his own works,
and in 1867 he began to reap the harvest
from his experiments inaugurated long
since with steel cannons, and the great
Franco-Prussian war of 1901 proved
beyond doubt their superiority as
against the old bronze cannons. Since
