that 1t is favorable to the continuance of

gests, however, that no additional troops
be sent there even to take the place of any
that may be ordered away. The condition
OF the place, generally speaking. is healthy

Special From a Staff Correspondent.
KEY WEST, Fla, June 3.-Two or three
vessels coming in to coal are the only signs
Key West has had of naval warfare during
the last twenty-four hours. Vessels which
have been lying off the coast between Ha-
vana and Cardenas report renewed activity
all along shore. Spanish troops are contin-
uing work on the fortifcations, and in sew
eral places marked progress can be noted.
Apparently the military authorities still
have an idea that an extensive landing of
troops is planned somewhere east of Ha-
vana, and they have prepared to make des-
perate resistance. At Matanzas and Car
denss they are especially defiant.
News of fighting on a small scale may be
expected from either of these points almost
any day. If it $ the purpose to land troops
in Santiago the degree to which aid can be
given by the insurgents is important
The statement that the Spanish authori-
ties could mass 10000 soldiers for the de-
probably correct, but not more than two
thirds of these would be regulars. Insur-

THE kAISER,s ATTITUDE.
Friendship for the United States
Maintained by Germany.

Ambassador White has called the atten-
tion Of the State Department 70 the follow
ing, which appeared in the North German
Gazette of recent date, and which, on ac-
cclnt of its semi-official character and the
fact that copy of the paper containing 1t
vas sent to the embassy by member Of
the foreign office, accentuates its interest
and renders it especially satisfactory to
the officials Of this country:
American and German papers have re-
Gently reported that his majesty, the en-
peror. in a conversation with the ambasss-
dor of the United States at Berlin. is said
to have refuted the supposition that the
in erial government was animated by un-
friendly feelings toward America. AS We
are inf 3rmed, no such conversation has
taken place, and consequently all reports
in regard to IL are imaginative His
majesty, the emperor, could have had little
reason for thinking it necessary TO give
the assurance ascribed to him, because the
Americans could not be In doubt to the
character of our slrict, complete and loyal
neutrality, after the repeated declarations
" hich have been ade on that point since
the beginning of the war. and especially
in the speech from the throne on the 9Th

English, French and Austrian papers whicn
have been endeayoring to show that The
government and public opinion OF the Ger
nan empire had taken sides against the

than a hundred years with a state in which

OCALA HOUSE, OCALA, Fla, June s.
If one would realize fully that it is one
country with one flag they should witness
the patriotic receptions given the soldiers
from the nations capital on their trip from,
Cbickamauga to Tampa At every station
large crowds of people came out and waved
American flags as the train rolled by.
The trip has been without accident to a
single man, and today the boys are all
well and happy. After leaving Atlanta yes
terday morning the train ran slowly. Din
ner was taken at Eastman, Ca. at which
place the men were given several barrels
Of lemonade and plenty of cake. At East
man they were allowed to leave the train
for the first time since leaving Rossville.
At all other times they have eaten their
meals on the train.
Supper was served at Jesup, Ca, last
night. The boys have enjoyed very mucn
the beautiful orange groves and are look
ing forward with great pleasure to an
abundance of this delicious fruit.
Breakfast at OcaIa.
The men took breakfast at Ocala this
morning. They We're served beans corned
beef and hard tack, with plenty of good
hot coffee
Both officers and men were greatly dis
appointed when they learned at Everett,
Ga, last night that the train would not go
to Jacksonville. hut would go straight
through to Tampa. They had hoped to go
with the 1th Army Corps, under Major
General FitZhugh Lee. 1t is believed how
ever, that after staying a short time at
Tampa to get them seasoned they will be
sent to Jacksonville to JOIN the Porto Rico
expedition, and this is what they are anX-
iCus to do
The railroad passenger agent in charge
of the train says the boys will camp at
Palmetto Beach. II this is true there will
De an ideal camp with plenty of salt
water bathing and good artesian well
water to drink.
The rainy season has started and it rains
with regularity every afternoon.
VIII Reach Camp This Afternoon.
The men expect to reach camp by 8
O'Clock this afternoon, and from their ex-
perience in pitching the tents at Camp
Alger and Camp Thomas 1t is safe to say
that it will take them but a short while
to get things in excellent shape.
The wagon and cattle trains are some
distance ahead of us, and the three sec
tons bearing the District boys will reach
Tampa about an hour apart
Not single man on the train has needed
the service of the surgeon. B.

CAPT. HEYL DETACHED.
The National Guard of the District to
Lose His Services.


Lose His Services.
The National Guard of the District of
Columbia is to lose the benefit of the SER
vices of Captain c. H. Heyl of the 23d In
fantry, who has been acting as adjutant
general of that organization for many
months An order was issued at the War
Department today detaching him from
further service with the District Guard
and directing him to report in person to
the adjutant general Of the army for duty
in his office.
No one has yet been selected to succeed
him as adjutant general Of the District
National Guard, and it is not likely tha.
an officer of the regular army can be
spared for that duty before the Spanish
war is over. There has been a growing de-
uand for assistance in the office of AG-
jutant General Corbin in consequence OF
the enormous duties devolving upon his
force in the mastering in and organization
of the military forces on a war basis.
Three of his assistants, General Schwan
and Colonels Petit and Sargent, have been
ordered into, the field, and thus greatly re-
duced the efficiency of his working force.
The detail of Colonel Heyl is the result of
this condition of affairs. 1t may become
necessary to detail other officers to the ad-
jutant generals office.

seeking additional available camping
ground, and 1t is generally believed that he

this number should be sent There are now
IL ,ooo soldiers at the park, and this num-
Der will be largely increased during the
next few days.

NAVAL ENLISTMENT.
No One Can BE Recruited in n Foreiuu
Country During War;

In answer to inquiries from United States
ministers abroad, the State Department
mas secured from the Navy Department and
puolished a statement of the conditions
governing naval enlistments In brief
these are that during war no one can oe
recruited in a foreign country. that aliens
who have declared their intention of be-
coming United States citizens, and TN ex-
ceptional cases, those who do not are en-
listed, provided they can understand the
English language. There is no fund for
paying travelling expenses before enlist
ments are made. If aliens are enlisted they
ere eligible to any position for which thew
can qualify, but the customs and regula-
uons of the service have been that only
men of long and continued service receive
the higher ratings; and not even a citizen
OF the United States residing abroad can
enlist in time of war without coming to
the United States. unless neutrality laws
are violated
