FEARS FELT FOR THE
 GOOD SHIP OREGON

Washington, April 21.-The navy department today, aside from giv- ing the orders to the squadron, contin- ued the work of adding to the navy and purchased another ship at Norfolk as an auxiliary craft and small yachts. The news of the actual beginning of war was receiv- ed with gravity at the department and there were many speculations as to the destination of the Spanish squadron. One suggestion is that it is heading to cut off the fine battleship Oregon now on its way from the Pacific coast around to join Cap- tain Sampsons command. There is also some fear that the Oregon may be taken at an unfair advantage without the knowledge of the existence of war by the Spanish tor pedo destroyer Tenmerire, now lying at Bueonos Ayers. The Oregon has been orr dered to go around Cape Horn, Instead or through the straits of Magellan. The de- partment some time ago abanooneo tne idea of using the lake revenue cutters, ow- ing to the difficulties of getting them out to the seaboard, but no international ob- stacle has been encountered. The Bancroft, Captain Glover, has been ordered to Key West.
 In the war department many orders flew to and fro relative to the concentration of troops in the south and Secretary Alget was several times in consultation with tho president, resulting in the determination to call for 100, 900 volunteers as soon as con- gress passed the necessary legislation. The entirely unexpected completed the list of important events of the day.
 At about 4:45 p. m. the president had brief conference wlrh the attorney general Secretary Long and Assistant Secretaries Adee and Day. Telegrams were received and others presumably sent. but their pur- port was not disclosed.

 Elected ard Installed.
AN INTERESTING SESSION

The State Medical association which met in annual session at Seals hall in this city on Tuesday last, will conclude it's labors today and adjourn sine die.
 The session has proven instructive and interesting and has been attended by the leading physicians of the state who have contributed to the success of the meet ing.
 The annual election and installation of of- ficers will take place at todays session.
 The third days session of the State Medi- cal association was called to order at yesterday at Seals hall with large at tendance. The morning session was de- voted to the reading and discussion of pa pers on subjects interesting to the profess sion, by able physicians. The following programme was carried out:
 "Ulcer of Cornea"-Dr. B. J. Baldwin, of Montgomery.
 Some of the More Common Diseases of the Rectum"-Dr. B. R. Pearson, of Mont gomery.
 Importance of the Microscope in the Practice of Medicine"-Dr. T. c. Thoring ton, of Montgomery.
 "Cerebellar Tumor; Operation With Re- covery"-Dr. W. H. Hudson.
 "Alabama'S Need Of More Stringent Mid- difery Laws. "-Dr. D. l.. Wilkerson, of Monterallo.
 At the afternoon session the program was continued and several valuable papers were read and discussed.
 Dr. Sanders, state health officer, gave mo- tice that he would present his paper on National State and Local Quarantines" at the night session and requested that as many of the physicians as possible be pres ent, because of the importance of the sub ject to the state of Alabama.
 Adjournment was taken until 8 o'clock, when Dr. Sanders read his paper, which was an able and clear presentation of the subject. Dr. Sanders brought out some or iginal suggestions in handling the question. He used a map to better illustrate his points of maintaining a strict state quaran- tine, which he thought should be maintain ed in conjunction with local and national aid, yet supreme in its authority. His pa- per was discussed by several.
 Dr. George Henry Fox, of New York, was introduced and presented the 'Diag- hostile Features of Cutaneous Syphilis Illus trated with Lantern Slides,' which was given marked attention At the conclusion oA this number vote of thanks was voted Dr. Fox for his valuable contribution to the program.

ALABAMA WILL
 FURNISH 2,OOO MEN Organized National Guard Will Be Accepted on First Call. VOL LUNTEERS TO BE ASKED For From Each State in the Proportion Us Population Bears to That of the
 Whole Country--New Ves-
 seIs Purchased.
VOLUNTEERS TO BE ASKED

Washington, April 21.-Secretary Alger's day at the war department was the busiest he has experienced for some time. Arrange ments have been completed under the sec retarys direction for calling out 100000 of the militia of the country to aid the regu- lar army in the operations to compel the Spanish evacuation of Cuba, although the secretary announced just before leaving tho department that the call would not be issued today.
 The officials are awaiting the passage of the volunteer army bill by congress in or der that there may be explicit authority for asking for the volunteers. The num- Der of men required from each state, 1t Is said, will be in the proportion that its pop ulation bears to that of the whole country. According to this ratio the southern states would be called on to furnish men as fol- lows:
 Alabama 2,0O0; Arkansas, 1920; Florida, 800; Georgia, 2,630; Kentucky, 2.726; Louisl- ana, 1852; Maryland, 1,554; Mississippi, l. 726; North Carolina, 2,O67; South Carolina, 59S; Tennessee, 2,44S; Texas, 3,3S3; Virginia, 2,23O; West Virginia, LII.
 The National Guard
 Secretary Alger has heretofore stated that in the first call for troops the organ ized national guard of the states would be accepted. The figures in possession of the department show that in some of the states there is no such organization and In others it fallS below the quota WHICH suCn StdteS will be asked to furnish in the proportion which their population bears to that of the whole country If the policy of asking each state to furnish it's proportionate quota Is finally adopted, then under call for 1OO.- 900 men many of the national guardsmen would be unable to go It is suggested, however, that the president may disregard the method above outlined and permit the full enlistment of 100000 men from the guard as at present organized.
 In accordance with the wishes of Gen. Miles, the Sixteenth regiment of infantry from Fort Sherman, Idaho, under com- mand of Col. H. A. Theaker, has been temporarily halted at Chattanooga. It was also intended that some of the other in- fantry regiments should be stopped at Chattanooga for short time, but they had proceeded beyond that point before or ders holding them could be issued
 At Navy Department
 The navy department also purchased to- day the Nemensha, now at Norfolk, for the use of the bureau of steam engineering. She is to be used as distilling ship and will accompany one of the fleets for re- ducing salt water to fresh. The yacht Corsair, bought today, will be sent to the Quintard works for such changes as may be necessary and the yacht Penelope to Norfolk for similar purpose.
 Commodore Endicott, chief of the bureau of yards and docks, has submitted estf- mates to Secretary Long for providing ad- ditional facilities for handling large amounts at Port Royal, s. c.
