NINTH REGIMENT ARRIVED.
Three hundred and thirty-two men
for the Ninth regiment arrived today.
The Thirteenth men are expected
Tuesday. The joint service arranged
for the Ninth and Thirteenth regiments
this morning did not take place owing

tent falling prey to the wind.
The regular army men are much i'm
pressed with the fortitude of the Penn
sylvania soldiers, under their trying
difficulties. The cheerfulness and the
word is used exact. displayed by the
men amidst their miserable surround
ings is a patent ofpatriotism that should
have a prominent place in the history
of this war. Two men are in the hos
pital today, when The Tribune cores

bardment of the remaining fortiflca-
tions at Manila.
The forts at the entrance of the bay
were dismantled on Wednesday, after
they had capitulated.
1t is said the American commodore
ordered the cable to be cut because
the Spaniards refused to permit him
to use It pending the complete surren-
der of the city.
1t is said that the SpanishFships did
not get under steam until after the
alarm was given. II Is said also that
the Spanish commander informed the
governor general that it was advisable
to surrender in the interests of human
ity, as 1t was impossible to resist sue
cessfully, but that he and his men
were willing enough to fight and die.
DESPERATE BRAVERY.
Even when the Spanish flagship was
shot half away, her commander, though
wounded, refused to leave the bridge
while it was burning and sinking, her
stern shattered by common shell and
her steam pipe burst.
After the lighting was over, Commo-
dore Dewey sent an ultimatum to the
city battery, ordering it to cease firing
or he would lombard.
The Petrol chased a gunboat up the
river Pasig, and the Spanish captain
came in a boat to negotiate conditions
of surrender. The American captain
replied Unconditional surrender or
fight"
To this the Spaniard answered: 1--WE
are willing to fight. Please allow us tc
send for ammunition, because our store
is exhausted"
On proposal to the existing author
tiles to continue temporarily under the
American flag, pending the termination
of the war, the Spaniards delayed their
decision and kept wiring to Madrid
The Americans requested the privilege
of using the wire, and when this was
refused they cut the cable.

BAD DAY AT CAMP HASTINGS.
Rain Poured Down in Torrents and
the Soldiers Were Cold.

BN Associated Press.
Mount Gretna. Pa, May Scamp
Hastings was submerged in mud and
water today, and the 5000 or more SOL
diers and the recruits who are en-
camped in barracks were subjected to
a condition of weather that has been
the worst in the history of the Penn
sylvania National Guard. FROM 2
o'clock this morning until o'clock this
afternoon ii rained in torrents with
out cessation. In addition the wind
blew furiOusly during the early hours
of the storm, and many of the tents
were blown over and the occupants
were forced tn turn out in the rain and
get them in shape today.
In all three of the brigades the men
were given a test of their mettle, but
in the First brigade particularly were
the hardest experiences met with.
Without eXaggeration il may be said
that the regiments of the First brigade
We're forced to spend the night and all
the day in water and mud to their
shoe-tops and it was only by active
work that more tents did not blow
| down. Those companies not fortunate
enough to have a company mess or
| supplies on hand We're forced to go
hungry all day, the roads being so cut
| up that it was impossible to get teams
| through with supplies. BY nightfall,
| however, the men were all cared for
| and huge camp fires were lighted
| around which the men bivouacked.
A TRIFLE BETTER OFF.
The Second and Third brigades were
| just a trif1e better off, being on high
| ground, which permitted most of the
/ water to drain off, but the suffering
! there was Of a severe character. The
! commands managed to secure subsist-
enCe after some difficulty, but with the
rain and cold their condition was pitia-
bic to the extreme. Generals Wiley
and Goblin and the regmental and COM
! pany officers personally turned out and
looked after the comfort of the men as
far as it was possible to do so.

and last night and who We're rendez-

From a Staff Correspondent.


Camp Daniel II. Hastings, Mt. Gret-
ma, May S.--Mud is the word. In some
places ii is not over six inches thick,
but as a general rule it is of danger
Gus depth. Rain has fallen almost in
cessantly since Wednesday night and
the camp in consequence is in an awful
condition. Drills have been entirely
suspended and the only thing the men
employ themselves at is eating, sleep
ing and trying to keep dry and warm.
In none of these particulars, it should
he added, do they attain any great de-
gree of success. To add to the ordi-
nary mseries, hurricane blew up this
morning and played sad havoc with the
tents. From daybreak until after
o'clock, when the fury Of the storm
abated. the men were compelled to hold
on to the ropes of their canvas houses
to prevent them from being leveled by
the wind. Such tents as were not thus
cared for could not withstand the furi-
Gus blasts and but few of them escaped
without some damage.
The Thirteenth and Ninth regiments
stables went down in heap and the
mess tents all along the line caved in
on the tables and benches, breaking
dishes and heaping everything beneath
in a confused mass. Streams of water
cut their way in every direction
through the company streets, invad-
ing the tents and soaking everything
within. Tonight the soldiers are in a
bad way, and few Of them will be able
to sleep with any degree of success.
Governor Hastings is doing every
thing in his power to alleviate the de-
plorable condition. Double rations of
coffee and sugar were issued by his
orders and all the hay and straw in
camp or on the cars We're directed to
he distributed among the men for bed
ding.
CONDITION OF RECRUITS.
The recruits who have been coming
in by the hundreds since yesterday
morning are faring worse than the
others. They had to take the tents
that the nOn-volunteers and "cripples"
deserted and in most instances they
had been ransackcd and the flooring
and other improvements taken posses
sion Of for the further Improvement of
the tents of the men who came here
first. How soon the division will be in
shape to move from this weather-be.
nighted place can not be stated with
any degree Of accuracy, and positive
stories on the subject are absurd. II
took two days to examine half the di.
vision. The other half and the recruits
are yet to be examined. When. these
and the mastering and polishing are
completed the forepart of next weel
will he at hand, it is safe to say. Tn,
examinations in the Thirteenth regi,
ment were completed this afternoon
when the commissioned officers of tn,
field and staff who are here withou
exception, as far as is known, success
fully withstood the test applied by Sur
geon Major Hall, u. S. A.
The work of examining the lieuten
ants, on-commissioned and enlisted
men was concluded this morning b.

STETSON UNIVERSITY LIBRARY

This library now contains 1000
volumes. Mr.. Sampson gave
$4,000 to it during his lifetime and
left $4,000 as a permanent fund
to 1T. The interest on this fund is
expended annually for select
books, so that there is a constant
and healthy addition to library
which does not own a single
worthless book. We quote the
following from the new catalogue,
which indicates, in a measure, the
value and scope of this splendid
collection. By purchasing only
books of direct value to the stu
dents in their work, library has
been secured as valuable as many
collections of ten times the num-
Der Of volumes. Among the gen
eral cyclOpediaS are the Britanni-
ca, Chambers ,Johnson'sO last edi-
tom and the Columbian. The
leading English dictionaries, in
Guiding the great "Oxford Die
tionary," are here found, together
with the most valua Bile and recent
dictionaries of literature, religion,
history, biography, art, music,
etc. In the circulating depart
ment one finds the great standard
works on all the more important
sub jects. During the past year
the biological sciences and Eng
lish literature have received the
most important acceSslOns. Sew
eral valuable general reference
works have been added. A promi-
nent feature of the library is the
collection Of bound periodical lit
erature, which includes virtually
complete sets of the leading
American and some English mag.
azincS and reviews.
