encampment was postponed until tomor-

been made for the pitching of the tents
The armory drill hall was filled this
morning with all kinds of camp equip
mant Cooking ovens and kettles, straw
for bedding, tent pins and tent poles,

tered about the room awaiting the order
for transportation to the point where
camp is to be made. 1t is expected that
by Monday every company will be muster
ed in and then the regiment will receive
its officers and go in the regular camp
This, however, is not certain. as the or
der issued by General Corbin requires that
the regimental colonel shall present HIM
self at the War Department for instruc-
tons. What the orders will be is not
known.
Meanwhile, it was contemplated by the
company officers to have their men some
where in camp pending the muster of the
full regiment.
Last night there were some men who
did not have uniforms and an inspection
shows that there Is mixture of clothing.
Some men have infantry and others have
cavalry trousers and 1t is not expected
that there will be any changing. Orders
have been issued for the National Guard
officers to turn in to the Quartermaster's
Department all clothing and equipment
in their custody that 1t may be distrib-
uted in the volunteer regiment, but some
Of the officers have declined, saying that
their men are charged with the possess
sion of the articles and they cannot COM
pei them to give the clothing up.
The question of food is not bothering
the officers at all as provision has been
made for subsistence by contract with
the market restaurant by which meals
are served to the recruits in their quar-
ters.

LACK OF EQUIPMENT.
Rifles, Uniforms Ond Blankets Are
Needed.

Information comes from the regular
| troops who were at Chckamauga that
many soldiers are without camp equip
ment and clothing. 1t is known that sew
eral men are now clad in their civilian
clothes and are without rubber blankets
and are compelled to sleep under horse
blankets. This condition of affairs cx-
lists in the Second, Sixth, and Tenth cav
airy regiments.
An investigation shows that there is a
lack of supplies for the volunteers The
change in the Army uniform necessitated
orders for the manufacture of a special
cloth. and ii was sometime before the
mills began to produce it. Firms in New
York and Baltimore received large orders
but 1t was not until recently that some
of the uniforms could be turned over
to the Government.
There is even a deficiency in the supply
of ordinary fatigue uniforms and more
particularly is there a lack of rubber
and wooden blankets. Quartermasters Of
the different militia companies have made
requistion on the War Department for
supplies, but until within the last few
days were told that there was no more
than sufficient equipment for the Regular
Army.
Yesterday. however. the War Depart
ment ordered it's troops to the points
designated and explained that the cloth
ing and equipment would arrive ahead OF
them. 1t is also certain that many
thousand Krag-Jorgensen rifles will be
needed to arm the volunteer troops. At
the War Department they say that when
the men are ready for service every part
of euujpment will be ready.

Colonel Mosby.
(From the Hartford Courant.) }


For a dozen years past Col John
Singleton Mosby has been peacefully
practicing law in San Francisco. His
life between the May of 81 and the
May of IS was not so peaceful. In
point of fact. 1t was just about as full
of excitement and adventure as life
could well be. The colonel was one Of
the best three partisan fighters pro-
duced by the war Of secession. His
daring was as the daring of Mad An
thony, and his foxiness was as the foxi-
ness of Francis Marion. The fame of
him and his rangers spread through
the land Ubiquitous. elusive. tantaliz-
ing, a will-o'-the-wisp and hornet In
one, he was the plague, the despair and
the admiration of the Federal officers
set to catch him. They never caught
him.
For more than q quarter-century he
has been a peaceful, loyal citizen; q
good, country-loving American. The
other day he offered his services to the
Government for the campaign in Cuba.
The general Of the army was able to
make the pleasant reply that he had
already recommended Col. Mosby for q
commission.
Colonel Mosby will be sixty-five on his
next birthday, but he can ride a horse
yet, ana II there Is to be fighting in Cuba
he'll be handy man to have around.
What he doesn't know about the hand
ling Of irregular cavalry and about scout
ing Isn't worth knowing. He could give

A HEAVY FINE.
Thomas Rogers Goes to Jail in De-

New York. May 12.-Sixty thousand dol
lars is the amount of the fine. Contempt
of court is the offense for which 1t was
imposed. But the decision of Surrogate
Silkman, of Wostchester County, really
means that Thomas Rogers is punished
for having connived at the misappropria-
ton of trust funds by his father-in law
and fellow trustee. William Cauldweli
Thomas Rogers is rich and pillar of
society. The Surrogate says he must go

tempt of court consisted of failure to pay.

to his two sisters. His fellow-defendant,
old William Cauldwell who sank a for
tune in the now defunct Daily Mercury
and afterward accepted the Empire Ho-
tel as part payment for his interest in
that paper. was not punished. because he
had impoverished himself in the effort TO
make good the deficiency caused by his
own indiscretions.
Such is the elimination of the Rogers
estate scandal, which has occupied the at
tention of the courts for years. Jason
Rogers. millionaire builder of locomo-
tives. died in 1869. having appointed his
son, Thomas. and the latter's father-in-
law, William Cauldwell. trustees, to man.

Thomas Rogers is now a man of some

1t was shown that Cauldwell had mis-

he had in trust. and had hence been un-

without the knowledge of his son-in-law

Cauldwell has surrendered every par

VENGEANCE.
Senators Hope the President May
Force the FiEhtinE.

Force the Fighting.
No one has expected this country to
carry on a war with Spain without seri-
Gus damage to some of our vessels and
the loss of men, but the news this morn
ing of the killing of few of our men at
Cardenas comes as a shock TO senator's.
The bulletins posted up in the cloak
rooms were eagerly read and their con-
ators. One prominent senator who has
been unable to conceal his chagrin at the
seeming want of decision on the part IL
the Administration, after reading this
bulletin. expressed the hope that now the
President would force the fighs and
abandon his plan of peaceful blockades.
The blood of these American sailors
shed in battle to say nothing of the as
sassination of the men on the Maine, cries
aloud for engeance and public men hope
that our Navy will be given a chance to
fight as the men of the American Navy SO
well know how to fight. The peaceful
plan of compaign was reluctantly acaui-
esced in at first; later on il became ir-
ritating and today it is impossible for
senator's to restrain their Indignation
1t is hoped that this Cardenas engage
ment will open the eyes of the President
TO the fact that the only way to deal with
this question is 10 go at 1t as nations usu-
ally wage war and drive the Spaniards
from the Western continent After that
Is done If the Spaniards have not had
enough and vengeance is not satisfied the
enemy can be followed to his own country
