Reaching the Camp Deserted by the
Regulars
CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK,
Ca. May 1.-THE First Ohio cavalry, the
advance guard of the volunteer army or
dered by the war department. to rendez-
volts at Camp Thomas, arrived today. The
regiment is composed of eight troops, 500
officers and men. The regiment did not
bring horses. and these are to be supplied
here by the government. Only one troop
was supplied with arms and the large ma
jority Of the men were without uniforms.
They did not therefore present very for
midable military appearance.
Tonight the First Ohio infantry from Gin
cinnati, eleven companies, 500 officers and
men, arrived In Chattanooga. This regi-
ment was in rather striking contrast to
the cavalry regiment being fully uni
formed and armed with Winchester rifles
They were brought Immediately to this
point and reported to General Brooke.
They will sleep in their cars tonight and
tomorrow morning will pitch their tents.

SEVENTH CALIFORNIA
OUR BOYS SETTLED DOWN TO
BUSINESS
Music in Camp-oood But Plain Fare
and Plenty Of It-Personal
Mention

SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-(Special Cor
respondence to The Herald) The Seventh
regiment boys are daily enjoying several
hours of severe drill with the entire seven
companies on the ground at once and q
fine sight 1t is, too. This is an experience
that few of the soldiers before have en-
joyed. Their drills at home have been
mostly with single companies and fire.
quently small ones at that. They have been
dress parade drills. Here we are getting
down to business and the boys like it.
From now on it will be business before
pleasure.
Great disappointment was felt among the
boys of the various companies on account
of having their officers turned down, and
also upon having rejected SO many men
who were popular with their comrades; but
this feeling is gradually passing away and
soon the boys will forget their disappoint-
ments and when the regiment reaches the
enemy's country there will be but one
thought-they will solidly and loyalty sup
port ana follow their leaders. The medical
Examinations were very rigid and there is
no doubt but that they were honestly con-
Quoted and the changes that were made
were for the good of the service. One maj
or, one captain. several lieutenants and Ii
score of non-commissioned officers failed to
pass the trying ordeal, In addition to nearly
enough privates to form two companies.
Company A received special mention
on account of it's "big four'-not one OF
them being less than six feet and two of
them being six feet five inches.
The whole, regiment had a record toi
good behavior until last night, when sew
eral Of the boys went out of the lines ant
could not get back again without running
the guard. which means the guardhouse Il
caught. Several of them were caught, bu
they got off on easy terms on account O.
having been kept in camp SO long; but tn,
next time they will not get off so easily.
We have some splendid singing in camp
Company A has one of the finest quartet
in the regiment. Private Mead is a goot
tenor. Private Rhein a good falsetto, Cor
Wells Is the baritone.
The Los Angeles boys get away finei.
with the other companies. Everybod.
seems to try to please everybody else
hence there is no friction and the boy
from all sections are getting well &C
| quainted with each other.
The most popular call in the days routln
is "mess." Our fare is Of the kind to max

SOLDIER fvANGfLISTS
TO ACCOMPANY THE TROOPS TO
CUBA
General Howard and Major Whipple
Already at Work Among the
Boys in Blue

TAMPA, Fla, May 15-When the United
States troops at Tampa embark for Cuba
they may be followed soon after by some
of the most famous evangelists in the
United States General o. o. Howard, U.
S. A., retired now an evangelist, arrived
at Tampa today accompanied by Major D.
w. Whipple. A movement was recently in
augurated by D. L. Moody having for its
object the sending Of noted speakers to the
various rendezvous of the soldiers to hold
meetings for their spiritual instruction.
General Howard and Major Whipple have
visited Chickamauga, Atlanta and Mobile.
AS most of the regiments here are without
chaplains, the sending to Cuba of several
noted divines to work among the soldiers
is contemplated. 1t is hardly probable
that they Will accompany the soldiers
when the expedition moves out, but once
the army is settled in Cuba, and the cam
paign against the Spanish forces is fairly
on, evangelical work will be actively be-
gun. General Howard and Major Whipple
spoke at Tampa Heights campground to-
night.
With the engineer and signal corps, there
are about 1000 troops Of the United States
army now here. The carrying capacity of
the transports at Fort Tampa is altogether
inadequate for such large force. At the
outside, not more than 5000 troops and 1000
horses and mules could be loaded on the
ten boats gathered here. That force, how
ever could be sent away on short notice, as
all supplies have been put aboard and ev-
erything made ready for hurried en-
barkation.
A party of about 125 recruits from the
north arrived here today and were dis
tributed among the various regiments. DR..
Lemen, well known physician Of Alton
ILL.,, and a surgeon In the Japanese navy
during the war with China, is among the
number. DR.. Lemen, who enlisted as a
private, brought with him a number of
others from Alton. Tow.

DISABLED Torpedo BOATS
May Be Terror OF Furor; or Possibly
Both

WASHINGTON, May 10. - Secretary
Long was at the navey department several
times during the day, and in addition to the
dispatch from Admiral Dewey. he author
lied the publication Of the statement that
the torpedo boat Terror, belonging to the
Spanish fleet, was disabled at Fort de
France, Martinique. The dispatch 10 as
follows:
Spanish torpedo boat Terror disabled at
Fort of France, Martinique
There was disposition among some OF
those who saw this statement to regard 1t
with suspicion, suggesting that the report
of disability was intended simply as o
blind, and that the Spanish government
had caused 1t to be spread SO that no COM
plant could be made to France on ac-
count of the stay of the boat in neutral
port None of the officials, however, would
express themselves on the subject.
(Note.-The statement that the torpedo
boat destroyer Terror Is with the squadron
of Admiral Cervera conflicts with the statc-
ment that the vessel had been definitely To-
Gated at Martinique, where she was being
drydocked for repairs. Probably the Curo-
Goa dispatch referred to the Furor, instead
of the Terror.)

The WAR REVENUE BILL
BOOKED FOR DEBATE DURING
THE WEEK
PROVISION FOR BOND ISSUE
Will Be Insisted on by the Republican
Majority-Hawaii Comes Up
in the House
Associated Press Special wire

associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON. May l5.-The war reve-
nue. bill Will occupy the attention of the
senate this week almost to the exclusion
of other business, and there Is no proba-
bility that the bill can be disposed of dur
ing the week. The indications now are
for two weeks debate and there. Is no
assurance that 1t will be concluded within
that period Of time. The opponents of the
bill disavow any Intention to delay action
on this legislation, but they do not conceal
their purpose of taking time to present
their views on the various questions in
volved. and 1t looks as If 1t would be i'm
possible to do this in less time than two
weeks. The principal portion Of the debate
Will be on the report of the Republican
members of the committee, favoring the
restoration of the bond provision. The
probabilities are that this proposition will
prevail If the war continues, but before a
vote can be reached on 1t there will be a
great deal of talk for and against 1t. The
entire financial question will be involved
to some extent, and probably most of the
senators who oppose the bond issue will
be heard before the conclusion of the dis
cussion. The Republican senators gener-
u 4,
but the Democrats and Silver Republicans
say 1t will be necessary for them to ex-
plain and defend their position. Senator
Allison will open the debate on Monday,
with statement on behalf of the Repub.
lican members Of the committee on finance,
and he will be followed by some Demo
cratic member Of the committee, probably
Senator Jones. Beyond this there is no
data upon which to base a statement of
the probabilities. 1t is quite certain, how
ever. that there will be no dearth of speech
making nor speech makers.
In the House
The most notable event in the house
proceedings for the present week will be
the introduction Of the resolutions pro-
viding for the annexation of Hawaii. The
committee on foreign affairs has decided
to report favorabiy on the resolutions,
and will do SO probably on Tuesday. A
very large majority of the Republicans
and. 1t is claimed. fifteen Democrats favor
the proposition and would like to take i'm
mediate action, but consideration will be
postponed. most likely. until after this
week. 1t is urged by those who oppose
immediate consideration that the passage
Of the resolution would complicate the
situation as respects the revenue bill and
would delay greatly The passage Of the
latter. Speaker Reed and Representative
Dingley are opposed to annexation as a
proposition, and the latter is especially op-
posed to passing the measure before action
upon the revenue bills taken. On Wednes-

day the banking and currency committee,
pursuant to the vote concluded Saturday,
Will present a general banking and curren-
cy bill, but 1t Is understood that 1t will not
be considered this week. Final action on
any currency measure seems improbable at
this session. OF the appropriation bills in
conference, some progress seems to have
been made in the sundry civil and post
office bills. and one or both may be passed.
though there Is a disposition to delay them
in conference until the revenue bill is well
under way in the senate. The house COM
mittee Is ready to report the general def
cheney bill and may bring 1t in this week.
A bill to establish a non-partisan labor
commission, for the purpose of suggesting
appropriate legislation affecting labor. may
be considered this week. The prospect for
a generous treatment Of local bills is good.
The Currency Question
H. H. Hanna, chairman of the executive
committee representing the Indianapolis
monetary convention of the boards Of
trade and commercial organizations of the
country speaking of the banking bill or
dered reported to the house from the bank
Ing and currency committee, today said:
1.-THE. bill ordered reported favorably to
the lower house of congress by the commit
tee on banking and currency is q very sub
stantial, courageous and comprehensive
recognition Of the necessity for changes
In the present law. The recommendations
include the features of reform sought by
the monetary commission in it's report,
but in some respects by different methods
or currencies; to favor silver as the larger
change or market money Of the people;
to create an issue and redemption division
Of the treasury; to put the burden of the
current redemption of the greenback upon
the national banks; to restrict reissue Of
greenbacks redeemed by the government,
except In exchange for gold; to provide
for cancellation Of greenbacks by use of
idle gold In the treasury. and to authorize
a test beginning Of the use of general credit
currency by the national banks. 1t Is a
great step forward"

Merely Getting Its Hand In.

Says the Democratic Citizens platform:
Economy, which impairs the facilities of
the young in our free schools, can never be
justified
Democracy seldom practices economy, but
this is the first time an authoritative declar-
alton has been made that economy "can
never be justified."-St. Paul Dispatch.
With but one city convention held,
with its own party's week off, and
others to be heard from, this opening
Of it's assaults by the Dispatch is aus
picious Of what the campaign, when
fully on, will be, so far as it's inveracIty
can make 1t. From inversion and per-
version of meaning by the insertion of
commas and by dilating upon the
changed significance thus made, the
progress will be a rapid one to the
usual lengths Of downright mendacity
This is small beginning, to be sure
but it is merely practice work, getting
it's hand in condition for the more
dexterous work to come later.
What the convention said, what its
