CHICKAMAUGA CAMP
FIFTY THOUSAND MEN AWAIT
ING THE CALL
The Ambulance Corps organized-A
Splendidly Equipped BRANCH of
the Service-Other News

CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL MILL
TARY PARK, June 2S.-No orders of any
kind affecting the present status of Gen.
eral Brooke's army have been received and
the work of preparing the men for the
field is going forward rapidly and salts
factorily.
There are now in the parry nearly 1000
men and there are being added daily from
500 to 700 recruits. Yesterday and last
night the arrivals numbered 1900.
Including the payments to the Twelfth
New York this week, 1t is estimated that
1910 900 have been paid to volunteers at
Chickamauga since the army modified
here.
The regular government pay day for
many of the regiments is approaching
Work on the pay rolls will begin in a few
days.
Everything is now moving smoothly at
the park. The men are all contented and
are working with a will. The Quarter
masters Department has been thoroughly
systematized so that there is no longer
the slightest difficulty for the men to get
plenty of good, wholesome food.
The regiments are nearly all equipped
with new uniforms and are being armed
as rapidly as the guns can be turned out
of the arsenal. Other needed small equip
ments are being added daily, and it is be-
lieved that this army will be the best
equipped of any to go into the field.
For the first time in the history of the
army of the United States an ambulance
corps is being organized as new adjunct.
England, Germany and France have such
a corps in their armies, but it is new I'M
dertaking for this government. The OBJ
ject of this organization is to facilitate
the proper handling of the sick and wounded
on the field.
The corps will have attached to it skilled
physicians, surgeons and stewards, which
with full supply of attendants will number
$50. They have % ambulances Is horses
and 76 mules, together with wagons and
harness for moving their equipage. There
Is a driver and an orderly for each ambu-
lance. Major Maccumber of the Fourteenth
New York Chief Surgeon Of the Corps, who
was for a number of years the superin-
tendent of the Kings County Insane Asy-
lum. Major MacCumber's practice of late
has been such as to peculiarly fit him for
his onerous duties as Chief Surgeon. The
chaplains of nearly all the various regiments
now encamped at Chickamauga Park have
begun vigorous crusade against the many
regimental oanteens or saloons. The fight
promises to be waged unrelentingly and
if the chaplains can obtain the cooperation
of the army officials the canteens will soon
be a thing of the past.
Lieut.-Col. Adams of the Fourth Ohio
was today named as brigade officer of the
day in the Second Brigade. First Division,
First Army Corps. He will continue as
brigade officer for one week Major Thomas
F. Lynch, First Battalion. Sixty-ninth
New York, and Lieut. John Devane, COM

San PfDRO'S CHANCES
SENATORS WHITE AND PERKINS
DOING ALL THEY CAN
A Partial Agreement on the Sundry
Civil Bill, Which Goes Back to
Conference

A Washington special to the Evening Ex-
press says: The last excuse for delaying
the San Pedro contract is that the sundry
civil bill has not become law. Senator
White said this morning:
1.-THE sundry civil bill has been long in
conference. 1t will remain in conference
until the house and senate conferees see fit
to report, unless there is evidence of will
full malicious delay, when the other house
will force report. 1t contains some i'm
portant contested items. am assured that
a great effort is being made to adjust the
differences. Senator Perkins and l have
respectively interviewed the conference
committee. Senator Allison, the chairman,
assures me today that the matter will soon
be settled. do not expect debate in the
senate on the report. Our delegation is
most active. The delay is more annoying to
us than anybody ese'
OF Ayers obstructive tactics Senator
White declined now to speak, He said he
would assume that when the bill became a
law the delay would cease.
Senator Perkins, member of the appro-
priations committee, but not of the confer
ees, said:
1T think an agreement will be reached to-
morrow. AS soon as the bill is signed l am
going to the president direct and tell him
the contract must be let. The bill does not
furnish reasonable excuse for delay"
1t is noticeable that Senator Perkins
speaks of appealing to the president, in
dicating his desperation at further parley-
ing with the secretary of war.
A Partial Agreement
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The sundry
civil conferees reported a partial agree

Torrey's Rough Riders

CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 23-Col Torrey's
regiment of rough riders left Fort Russell
for Jacksonville, Fla, occupying four
trains. Large crowds of people gathered at
the depot to witness the departure and kept
up constant cheering as each train pulled
out. Lunch enough to last several days
and consisting of the best obtainable had
been prepared and conveniently packed in
packages by the ladies of Cheyenne. This
regiment is made up of the pick of mountain
and plain, men skilled in the use of rifle and
revolvers, and will unquestionably make
valuable addition to the mounted forces to
be sent to Cuba.

breaking against the pier, getting ashore
was no easy matter, and the soldiers had
to throw their rifles on the dock before they
could climb up themselves, and some hard
tumbles resulted but nobody was hurt.
AT the end of the pier the companies and
regiments quickly lined up and were
marched away.
The Night Guard
Gen. Lawton threw a strong detachment
for the night about six miles west, on the
road to Santiago, and another detachment
was posted to the north of the town, among
the hills. The rest of the troops were quar-
tered in the town, some of them being housed
in the building of the iron company. Other
troops were quartered~in deserted houses,
while others still preferred the shelter of
their tents In the adjoining fields.
The mornings fire, it was seen, destroyed
the roundhouse. the repair shops and sew
eral small dwellings. The town was deserted
when the troops landed, but women and
children soon appeared from the surround
ing thickets and returned to their homes.
The sur-bronzed soldiers in their slouch
hats and service uniforms quickly searched
the buildings and beat UP the thickets after
landing In search of lurking foes, and
marched into the unknown country beyond
at nightfall with the long. swinging stride
and the alert bearing of the old frontier
army men, ready to fight the Spaniards
Sioux fashion or in the open, wherever
they could be found. The cheers of their
comrades still waiting on the transports
and Of the bluejackets and the strains OF
Yankee Doodle from the bands on the troop
ships, saluted them as they disappeared from
view over the hills of Baiquiri.
The landing was accomplished without
loss of life, the only casualty being the
wounding of an insurgent on the hills by n
shell from one of our ships. He will lose
his arm. The insurgent troops at Baiquri
are commanded by Gen. Castillo and are
estimated to number a thousand men.

WILL USE POSTAGE STAMPS


WASHINGTON, June 23.-The secretary
of the treasury has decided to make tem-
porary use of postage stamps for internal
revenue purposes, under the new war reve-
nue. act, and today the first lot of about
million was delivered for shipment to
collectors. About 100000 proprietary
stamps of the regular issue have already
been sent out, and hereafter large daily
shipments will be made. The Pacific coast
will be supplied first, and then points fur
Their east until the whole country is covered.
The postage stamps will be largely of the
one and two-cent denominations, and will
be imprinted with the initials "I.R." Large
quantities Of these will be delivered to the
telegraph, express, freight and palace car
companies for distribution to their own Of
fees. This can be accomplished by the COM
panes themselves more expeditiously than
by the government. 1t is now thought that
practically the whole country will be sup
piled with all classes of stamps by July 1st
or earlier.

DIPLOMAS PRESENTED.
Commencement Exercises at the
Opera House Last Evening.

A largeland appreciative audience
assembled at the Opera House last
evening to witness the class day
exercises of the L 'Anse High School
graduating class of '9S.
The exercises throughout were
highly interesting and enter
tanning, and the efforts of both S.
Russell Smith and Miss Gertrude
Helen Bulger, the two members
of the graduating class, were of a
high order of ability and
greeted with enthusiastic APP
plause.
The hall was handsomely dec
GRATED with flowers, plants, flags
and red, white and blue bunting,
the class colors. Suspended above
the center of the stage was the
motto of the class, Excelsior. "
The program opened with an
overture, which was beautifully
rendered by the Pequaming or
chestra, and was followed with
invocation by Rev. H. Gillingham.
The third number was a vocal solo
by Miss Annie Williams, which was
rendered with pleasing effect.
Following the orations by the
members of the class was a cornet
solo by E. A. Mack, which brought
forth hearty applause.
The class address was delivered
by Lieutenant Governor Thomas B.
Dunstan, of Hancock, and if it were
possible we should indeed be pleased
to publish it verbatim, as it was
full of high and noble thoughts
for reflection.
Following Mr.. Dunstan's address

Turner, president of the school
board, arose, and in few we'll
chosen words presented the MEM

fully mixed one. There are mix
lures of Europeans, Africans,
Asiatics and Americans in all pos
sible and conceivable ways and some
of the existing representatives of
this fusion are pretty low class.
Under government which will ad-
NIT OF development, there will be
soon strong class able to care for
itself Such government has hith-
erto been unknown in the island.
Cuba needs American sapolio,
mental, moral and material. 1t
needs to be well secured. Santiago
is the filthiest place | have ever
seen and its scavengers, the vul-
lures, are most repulsive. Yet ma
ture has done nobly by Cuba, and it
might be the loveliest spot on earth.
Its climate is splendid except where
the total neglect of all sanitary pre-
cautions have made it a place for the
breeding of fevers.
To-day Cuba is in bad way be-
cause of the ravages of the contend
ing parties. On my sisters estate
there has been no cane ground for
four years, while the railways from
the estates to Santiago have been
destroyed. The rails have been torn
up, the culverts routed out and ruin
spread everywhere. This is the re-
suit. of a widespread system of black
mail in which the naughty Spaniards
are as bad as the insurgents for
whom the claim may be made that
they are in need of money. Be-
tween the two parties there will be
little left to many people if the war
is not soon brought to an end. Those
who have any property which they
can lose are under the necessity of
seeing the officer, and when this
happens with Spanish leader one
day and an insurgent leader the
next, and each is bleeding you for
all they are able, it means in long
run that to protect your property
you will have to pay several times
its value. When you get tired out
at this, it makes no difference
whether it is one side or the other
which destroys all you have ac-
cumulated.
''In Cuba there is the raw ma
terial of a wealthy and a splendid
country, but the moulding of the
country and it's people will be an
immense task. The work will need
to begin at the bottom, and to be
taught. Not only is a political
revolution needed there, but social
and moral changes of the most
radical kind.
In the light of the news which
has been telegraphed and of my
knowledge of the conditions, it APP
pears to me that the sinking of the
Merrimac across the harbor at
Santiago was as deliberate an act of
bravery as any man could possibly
perform. 1t was leading a forlorn
hope so far as personal safety was
concerned.
