MICHIGAN MEN AT TAMPA.
The Thirty-Second Regiment Goes into
Camp After Its Journey South.


Tampa, Fla, May 25-Michigan's
first regiment of volunteers, the Thir-
ty- second infantry, marched from their
sleeping cars to Palmetto beach with
out arms, ammunition or cartridge belts.
The only weapons in the command were
the swords and revolvers of the off,
GERS. In other respects, however, the
Wolverines are the best equipped of
any of the volunteer regiments which
have come so far south. Every man
had a new uniform, the camp equip
ment was complete to the last detail.
and there was not a sick man in the
regiment.
The Thirty as the Michi-
gan men call themselves, came 1850
strong, with Colonel McGurran OF
Grand Rapids in command. He and
Lieutenant John j. Vass, also of Grand
Rapids saw that every tent to shelter
the privates and company command
ers was set up before the colonies s
strikers" pitched his tent. The Thir-
ty-second Michigan came straight
through from Island Lake, where 1t had
been under canvas for nearly a month.
The command Travelled in palace Sleep
ing cars, and it's journey through the
southern states was one continuous
ovation. 1t seemed as If the people of
Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida par
ticularly welcomed the boys from Mich

First Wisconsin Arrives Close After tho
Second Illinois.


Jacksonville, Fla, May 25.-When the
men of the Second regiment rolled out
Of their blankets in the morning and
rubbed the dew from their eyelids they
found that the camp had grown pro-
digiously. The First Wisconsin had
followed close on the heels Of the men
from Illinois and in the night a regi-
men, from North Carolina had gone
into camp and the Iowa volunteers had
their vanguard on the ground. This
makes four regiments, or in the neigh
borhood of 1000 men, in the Jackson
willie camp
The original order TO General Lawton
was TO organize seven regiments here.
Now he has received word that at least
nine will be sent. AS this is just the
number 10 form division brigade Cen
eral Lawton win find himself with a
major generals command. 1t is con-
s.dered possible, however, that the COM
manding general will be transferred as
soon as the work OF organization is
completed and an officer of the highest
grade put in control.

CHANGE OF PROGRAMME.
Cervera to Draw OF the Enemy While
Cadiz Fleet Relieves Havana.

London, May 25.-A special dispatch
from Madrid says: Evidently the pro-
gramme in regard to the Philippine ISL
ands has been changed. 1t is believed
here that there will be no immediate
engagement in Cuban waters, but that
Admiral Cervera will draw off the enc
NV while the Cadiz fleet relieves Ha-
vana.
No news is allowed out Of Cadiz, and
although II Is announced that Admiral
Camara starts hence Immediately to
rejoin the fleet, it would not be surpris-
ing to learn that the squadron has al
ready left and that the presence OF Ad-
miral Camara, as we'll as the official
announcements anent the fleet soon
sailing westward, have been a blind to
cover its departure. There Is some
anxiety here as to, whether Admiral
Cervera's entire squadron has been able
70 reunite in Cuban waters. If the min
listers are aware of the precise where
abouts of Admiral Cervera they are
keeping II secret.

DODGE FLOATING MINES.
spaniards Try "a New scheme To Blow Up
the Blockading Fleet.

Key West, May 25.-News reached
here of an attempt to blow up the boats
of the blockading squadron. What is
believed to have been a submarine mine
was exploded by the Spanish twenty
miles off Cape San Antonio. Naval Off
GERS on the warships say that Spain has
put floating mines throughout the gulf
stream in an attempt TO blow up the
blockading squadron and newspaper
fleet.
The vessels were scouting we'll out
from land in the Yucatan channel and
were in a semi-circie 500 yards apart,
when an explosion lifted the ships and
sent seamen and officers spinning
across decks. 1t was at first thought
that II was the shock of a large gun,
and the men rushed to quarters.
1.-The explosion adds new feature ia
naval warfare" one of the officers said.
"None of our ships was injured but the
explosion warns all vessels to look out
for floating mines"

ANOTHER CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
Authorities at Washington Are Consider
ing the Matter Seriously.

washington, May 25.-Another call
for volunteers is under consideration
by the military authorities, although 1t
may not be issued for at least week
or two. or, at any rate, until the inva-
sion of Cuba has begun and the neces-
sity for additional troops is clearly
demonstrated. The difficulty of arming
and equipping many of the soldiers al
ready mustered into the service is
rapidly disappearing, and from the ex-
perience gained in the recent call army
officers are satisfied that more than a
month will be consumed in mastering
another $4,000 men, and that in this
time equipments could be prepared for
that number.
The unexpected and extraordinary
drain on the regular and volunteer
force by the Philippine expedition, ne
cessitating at the outset 1900 men, to-
eether with the prospect that Spain
will not be influenced by European
nowers to abandon her futile struggle,
hut will wage war until her resources
are exhausted. Is causing the military
authorities considerable anxiety regard
ing the sufficiency of the armed force
of the government for carrying out the
RESPONSIBILITIES which have been under
taken.
