Fernaudina to Be Prepared for Con-
centrating Troops.
The SECOND INVASION
Map Showing the Topography Of
the Country.
ORDERS EXPECTED SOON

Many factors combining to make the
military and naval situation full of stirring
activity, and this was shown today by the
large crowds which throrged the corridors
of the War and Navy Departments. The
War DEPARTMENT is fastening forward the
preparations al Fernandina, Fla, which
will make that point one of the most ad-
vantageous in the country for the concen-
tratior of a large body of troops. Notices
have been sent to the city authorities. as
well as TO army officials directing them to
hurry forward the preparations. 1t is said
at the War Department that the special
board which inspected Fernandina found
the proposed camp grounds so suitable. by
natural conditions and surroundings, that
several thousand troops could be accom-
modated there today If it We're necessary
to institute the camp at once. Although
the orders for this concentration have not
yet been issued, the inference is clear that
they vii! follow soon as the Fernandina
camp grounds are entirely ready. The de-
partment calculates that the grounds will
accommodate 2OOG0 troops. Secretary Al
gers main purpose in sending the special
board south to avoid a repetition of
former experiences of having camps oc-
cupied before they were fully prepared, in
the way of water supply, tenting grounds,
trenches. etc.
In response to inquiries from congress
men representing many other points in the
south. the department officials said today
that the preparations at Fernandina did
not necessarily imply that Savannah.
Charleston, Jacksonville and other points
inspected might not also be utilized for
camping grounds. The determination thus
far it was stated, was to get ready at Fer
nandina, and have at least one available
point thoroughly prepared within the next
few laYS.

Return of Gen. Miles,

General Miles. commanding the army, is
expected to return to Washington some
time tomorrow. Some of the members of his
staff are booked to come back with him hut
several may be left at Tampa for some
time to attend such matters as may be
necessary. Inspector General Breckenridge
and Chief Engineer Ludlow went to Cuba
with the army OF invasion. The presence
of General Miles at army headquarters is
especially desired oy the President and Sec
rets,ry AlEer at this time. for there are
many questions III connection with the in
yasion of Santiago and the projected expe-
dition t. Porto Rico which they desire to
consult nim about.
The commander oil the army, by reason
of his actual pracucal experience in direct
ing the embarkation OF the troops from
Port Tampa and his general knowledge of
the situation, will be valuable to the Off
cials here Gen. Miles will be consulted
respecting the investment of Havana ana

nandina, and have at least one available
point thoroughly prepared within the next
few days.
A Map of Surroundings.
Secretary Alger has a large map brought
back by the special board, showing the ex-
act location of the proposed camping
grounds at Fernandina, and all the sur
roundings. The city stretches along the
Amelia river, which is said to have about
twenty feet of water up from the ocean.
Sweeping around the city and extending
back to the ocean beach is stretch of
level suburban country, which has been
subdivided into city lots, but not yet built
up. A blue pencil line drawn around the
best portion of this land incloses a tract
of one and one-half miles square. On the
city side it begins at Central Park, large
city reservation, which be at once util-
lied for camp grounds. Through this runs
what is known the Shell road, leading
from the city to the ocean beach. A sub
urban railroad also connects the city with
the beach, thus afOrding double facilities
for troops to get from the camp to the
place of sea bathing. On both sides of the
Shell road stretches the main camp ground.
Aside from the mile and one-half square
forming the central portion, there is a
stretch of ground to the eastward which is
said to be practically unlimited. The board
gave its attention to this main portion,
finding fine wells and springs of unlimited
supplies of water. and general conditions
which they considered would make it an
ideal camping ground for large force.
Orders Expected soon.
The War Department Will give no intima-
ton as to how soon orders will be issued
for concentrating troops at Fernandna, but
officials seem to take it for granted that
the orders will come very soon now that
the camp grounds are being put into readi-
ness. II viii Doubtless Oe the rendezvous

HA Strong Endorsement. y

That is the title Of tho circular issued
by the Senator and Representatives
from Anderson county, endorsing the
candidacy Of Col. w. A. Nea! for re-
election to the Supcrintendency of the
Penitentiary.
The publication and circulation of
such a circular, whether inspired by
Col. Neal or voluntary on the part OF
the Anderson delegation, is calculated
to seriously damage whatever chances
he may have.
The signcrs of that circular have put
themselves in the plight of jurors, who
would pledge themselves to decide a
case according to public opinion in
their neighborhoods before the oath
was administered to them, and before
they have heard a word of the testi-
mony.
Under the committee the Anderson
delegation will be bound to support
Col. Neal even though dozen better
men should be candidates, and they
have killed what influence they might
have had.

from my friends. s."-Ba1narcl People.

Banditti Rob a Train.

FERGUS FALLS, MINI, Nov. TO-
The Great Northern through train,
which passes through this city at 7.3O
P. NJ, was held up and robbed about
five miles west Of here tonight. There
were eight robbers in the gang, all
well armed. Two Of them evidently
boarded the blind baggage in this city.
The train was scarcely out OF the town
when these two climbed over the ten
der and, presenting revolvers, told
Engineer Brace and his fireman to stop
at lonely spot near the Pelican River
bridge. Arriving at this place the
train was stopped, and the engineer
and fireman were ordered to leave the
cab. The other members OF the gang
rushed from the woods and boarded
the express car. All wore handker-
chiefs over their faces. The gang was
regularly organized and went by num-
bers. When the train stopped the
conductor and brakeman started for
ward to find out what the trouble was,
but the bandits fired number Of shots
and warned them to keep back. They
then compelled the express messenger
to leave the car, and while three or
four stood guard, the others proceeded
to blow open the safes.
The local safe was destroyed, and it
was thought they succeeded in obtain
ing considerable money, but the exact
amount cannot be learned. The through
safe was drilled and dynamited, four
charges being used. The jacket was
blown off, but it was found impossible
TO reach the inner part and get at the
cash. They worked over it nearly two
hours, holding the train for that length
of time, but gave up finally, and join
ing their companions on the outside,
started south.
