Volunteers to Be Reviewed by Presi-
dent Mckinley on Saturday.


WASHINGTON, May 26.-Preparations
are making at Camp Alger for a review of
the Second Army Corps by President Nc
Kinley, Secretary Alger and other officials
next Saturday. There will be general re-
view tomorrow in preparation for this
event. 1t is expected that the distribution
of clothing and supplies will begin to-mor-
row in about the following order: Shoes,
uniforms and subsistence for ten days. This
distribution probably will require several
days. The One-hundred-a ed-and-ffty- y-ninth In
diana requires nearly everything in the way
Of equipment. Orders were issued to-day
fixing hours for camp duties and forbidding
soldiers to go beyond one mile from camp.
There has been no increase in the sick list.
The camp is rapidly being put in excel
lent sanitary condition. Colonel Girard,
chief surgeon. has been unremitting in his
attention to the health of the men since lie
assumed control, and his work has produced
effective results. Colonel Girard held
conference at headquarters to-day with the
several brigade surgeons. Since yesterday
each one had gone over carefully the
ground under his direction. The opinion was
well organized as any other department of
the camp, and that the sanitary condition
of Camp Alger was as good as that Of any
regular army field camp in the country.
Colonel Girard was particularly emphatic
in his injunctions on the surgeons to pre-
vent the spread of contagious diseases, such
already accomplished, Colonel Girard said
this afternoon: within a few days we will
have our corps as well equipped as any in
the service. we will have accurate records
of all the men in the camp, we will have
every man at all i'll under the care of capa-
Bile, competent hospital authorities. We
have not yet as many ambulances as we
ought to have perhaps, but we have as
many as are absolutely necessary. Within
a day or two our division hospitals will be
set up and then we can care easily for
everybody

ter and will mount some formidable guns:
Already one eight-inch rife has been placed
IN position to command the wide ranse

ing rapidly put in place. a contingent of
men having been sent down from Iampa
Tor that purpose. All night long the great
horizon Other searchligits on the war
ships are constantly at work, many Doats
being utilized in night target practice.
The great problem now both at Key west
and at Tampa is that relating to the move
ment of the troops. Naval men are In the
dark as to what the army will do. and army
and mysterious. At Tampa there are now
about 1900 regulars and many thousands
of volunteers. There are daily arrivals of
troops at Tampa, Port Tampa and Lake
land but some Of the volunteer regiments
have not yet received their complete ac-
coutrements, though the latter will soon be
forthcoming.
The southern portion of Florida is begin
ming to realize how difficult a matter 1t Is
with necessaries and comforts. Here at
Key West, after dry season of five
months, the rain has come at last and re-
newed the drinking water supply. This. at
least, was an opportune visitation of Prov
idence, and, with it all, the soldiers are
At Tampa they are tenting in the sand
hills about the town. strictly disciplined,
kept closely to regulation diet with not
much amusement, anxiously awaiting the
order to move on Cuba. This, it is generally
believed by army men, will not be received
at an early date, for there is, first of all,
the State of Florida expedition" to be
heard from, an expedition to supply Gen.
Maxine Gomez with arms and ammunition.
There are a score or more additional trans
ports to be harbored in Tampa bay under
guard of the gunboat Helena. Additional
thousands of troops are to be mobtlized in
southern Florida, and the question of prop
erly arming them has become, 1t is said,
one of no little seriousness.
At Key West the troop ship Panther,
which left the Brooklyn navy yard nearly
a month ago, is still at her anchorage. For
several weeks the marines sweltered under
the burning sun in their close quarters. but
finally they were sent to camp ashore. Dur
ing the period of confinement on the troop
ship there was d small epidemic of measles,
a score or more cases being removed to the
naval hospital But no more sturdy body of
men is to be found among the present cam
paigners than the troop ship men.
Work will soon be begun on one Of the
small islands adjoining Key West on the
construction of building that may answer
the purpose of either a hospital for the
wounded or a quarantine station 1t is in
tended to observe the strictest quarantine
just as soon as a landing in Cuba is effected
by the troops.

LONDON. May 27.-The Paris corre-

interview he has had with Dr. Betances,
representative of the Cuban republican gov

the firm conviction that the war will be
over sooner than it is thought in Europe.
The Americans he says, will experience
no difficulty in landing troops, who will al
once be joined by insurgents, who are much
stronger than is generally supposed. Nor
is there any doubt that Rear Admiral
Sampson will strike heavy blow shortly.
The insurgents would rather accept annexa-
tion by the United States than the au-
tonomy which Spain would grant. Before

This is about the end of the
matter unless Spain does some
thing to offend Uncle Sam in a
day or two and the investiga-
tion does not show that the YES
sci was sunk from outside
sources.
The high pitch of excitement
throughout the country can be
appreciated when it is said that
the president has received tele-
grams from every quarter indi-
eating the disposition of the
people to rush into war if he
will but say the word, and off
ering troops. 1t would look as
if the expressed sympathy of
Spain with our country on this
matter and the conduct of the
people of Havana in the bury
ing of the dead yesterday would
have the effect of bringing the
two countries nearer together
than of setting them wider
apart.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1898-02-20

Washington, Feb. l9.-The
excitement over the sinking of
the Maine has greatly abated.
When the morning papers from
all over the country commenced
to come in they showed from
expert testimony that spontan-
eous combustion in the coal in
bunkers of other vessels often
occurred and in the case of our
war vessel 1t was piled up on
the sides, which would contrib
ute to the obstruction of a shot
from the outside.
The general impression here
this evening is that the catas-
trophe is due to an accident on
board the ship, and that the ac-
cident was caused by the coal
igniting from spontaneous com
bustion or from the change III
the character of the gun cotton
on board. 1t is given out by
the highest authorities that this
high and powerful explosive,
which is used for torpedoes,
sometimes undergoes chemical
changes which make it explode
purely through such changes.
The officers of the navy and
congress are much disturbed
over the unfortunate affair from
a standpoint other than that
the Spaniards might have had
something to do with it.
