Fourth Regiment Eager to
Get in the Second Call
for Troops.

Colonel r. G. Smith of the Fourth Regi-
ment left this city this afternoon ON the
2:2S train for Sea Girt to ask Governor
Voorhees, to order out the Fourth ON this
second call for troops.
The Coloneps visit today was the result
of meeting held last night in the ar
mory by the Board of Officers, in view of
the announcement Of the second call for
troops by the President. A great number
of the officers were at social gathering
on the hill, but word was sent to them,
and at ten O'Clock they were all present,
except Captain Alvin Graft, now with the
First Regiment.
Calling the meeting to order, Colonel
Smith said that the regiment could not
afford to be overlooked by the State malf-
tary authorities again, If it expected to
preserve its regimental organization in
tact. No excuse would be accepted by
the people of Hudson county il the Fourth
is left at home again.
Continuing. the Colonel said that his
positfon in the point at issue was we'll
known to every member of the regiment.
He said that when the first call came he
had preserved soldierly. dignified bear
ing believing that an officer should not
run after those above him In rank and
tel, them what to do He said he held
that military organization should await
orders always, and not attempt TO IN
fuence the action of those in authority
Finding that such policy had failed
as the Fourth had not been called out, I
have reluctantly come to the conclusion
that the Fourth, to get anything, must
ask for it. and favor petitioning Gov

A Terrible Explosion Followed With
Death and Disaster, the City Of
Havana Badly Shaken
by the Shock.

One OF the mosS terrible explos-
ions recorded in naval history oc.
Cured in the harbpr at Havana, on
Wednesday night about 10 o'clock,
re sulting in the destruction Of the
batt'eship Maine, and the death Of
over go of her crew. Tho direct
cause of the explosion is unknown.
The following is detailed dispatch
which appeared in today's dailies,
from Captain Sigsbee, commander
of the unfortunate craft, to the de-
partment a. Washington:
Advise sendi ng wreckiag vessel at once.
Maine submerged except debris; mostly
work for divers now These known to
be saved are: Officers, "a; uninjured.
crew, IS; wounded, now on board Ward
line steamer, il city hospital aud hotels,
90, SO lar IN known All Others went
down On board or near tle Maine. The
total lost or missing are $50.
With several exceptions, no officer or
man has o than u part of "a suit of
clothing, and that is wet with harbor
water. Ward steamer starts for Mexico
at two o'clock this afternoon. Officers
saved are %uniniured Damage was in
compartments ol crew. Oiiyette leaves
for Key West at one p. m. VIII send by
Der, the officers saved, except myself,
wainwright, Holman, Henneburger, Ray
and Holden will turn over three unin-
inred boats to.captain OF port with re-
quest for safe keeping and will send all
wounded men,to hospital in Havana.
The explosion is reported to have
shook the city of Havana from end
to end extInguishing the electric
lights aud breaking much glass.
The entire fire department of the
city turned out.
Excitement is at fever heat all
over the United States and will so
continue until an investigation de-
velopes the true cause of the dread
full Gu family.
The latest dispatches strengthen
the theory that the explosion was
purely aud simply accidental in it's
origin. However the board, under
direction of Admiral SIcard, will
make a most thorough, searching
investigation into the cause of the
disaster.
