SEA GRIT, May %. 1S9S.-Thousands
of relatives and friends of the soldiers
now in Camp Voorhees, journeyed to Sea
Grit yesterday and whiled away the time
chatting with the boys and taking in the
sights. Camp discipline was relaxed and
the outsiders were permitted to come ana
go at will.
There were no drills during the day,
except at guard mount. Dress parade
was at 4:S0 P. M. The company streets,
tents and cooking quarters were officially
examined and pronounced to be in perfect
sanitary condition.
Colonel Lee, of the Third Regiment, Is
expecting orders from the War Depart
ment tomorrow concerning the final as
signment of his command. Just what dis
position will be made of his regiment IS
merely rumor and he has nothing official.
1t is probable, though, that the regiment,
or at least a portion of it, will be ordered
to Fort Hancock, Sandy Hook, for coast
defense duty. Colonel Hine. of the Second
Regiment, is also in the dark as to the
destination of his command.

leave Camp Voorhees, with his staff to-
morrow. His services here as a military
officer of the State are no longer needed,
as all the acquisitions for State supplies
to equip the troops ave been made Ply
him. 1t is understood here that he is to
so to his home in Newark to prepare
himself for an active campaign in the
field, it having been given out seml-om-
cially from Washington that he is to be
appointed a brigadier general by Presl-
dent Mckinley.
With the generals departure the camp
will be in charge of Colonel Lee, of the
Third Regiment. he being the senior Of
icer. Colonies Lee and Hine have ar
ranged to honor General Plume, with a
review of the two regiments now in camp
on Tuesday afternoon at $50 o'clock.
The anticipated second call for volun-
teers by President Mckinley led Cover
nor Voorhees, to detail Colonel Alexander
C. Oliphant, his aide-de-camp, and Colonel
William Strange of General Plume staff
to confer with United States Senator
William J. Sewell on the situation.
The conference was held at the Sena-
tors home in Camden last night ana
Colonel Oliphant and Colonel Strange
returned 10 camp lOUdy. lllCy
that Senator Sewell is of the opinion
that the war with Spain will continue Tor
at least two years more: he Is ais9 q
the opinion that a second caii Tor Voiun-
teers will be made by the President Win
in a week or two.
The Senator declined to advise as TO
the best plan to be pursued by the State
authorities in filing the second quota,
but suggested that THE matter be left with
Governor VOORHEES, and his military ad-
visers.
Whether the Governor will decide to or
der the remainder of the New Jersey Ma
tlonal Guard into camp. for preparation
before the second call for volunteers IS
made by the President is a matter of con-
lecture. 1t is KNOWN, however, that Gov
ernor Voorhees, is opposed to this plan on
the ground that it would leave the State
without any protection. =,
In all probability the second quota Will
be filled by the numerous volunteer or
ganIzations now waiting for a chance to
be called out. At any rate the matter
will be settled by the Governor early this
troops may Ne in readiness when the
Presidents second call is made.
