INSISTS that His Full Quota of Twenty
Thousand BE Forwarded
mt Once.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 11.-Major Cen
eral Merritt wants more troops. He is now
IN communication with Washington on the
subject, and hopes to receive word in a few
hours that the additional forces lave been
granted him and have been started on the

That he wants them in a hurry Is sug-
gested by the fact that it is known that
he contemplates leaving for Manila in about
ten days from next Wednesday, and is de-
sirous that his forces shall precede him 10
the Philippines.
With the troops that arrived yesterday and
today he has a force of about l6, 900.

SOLDIERS SHOW UP WELL
New Maneuvers introduced Into the Sham
Battle at Chickamauga.
COLONEL BILLS LEADS ONE COLUMN
General Brooke md Other Officers
Pleased with the Proficiency Dis
played by the TrOOps-Lnte
Arrivals at the Park.

CHICKAMAUGA PARK, June 1.-THE
event of today at Chickamauga was the
execution OF General Fred Grants battle
problem. In this problem were a number
of new and difficult maneuvers, and it was
watched with great interest by thousands
of officers and men. The maneuyers were
all well carried out according to General
Grants excellently conceived plan, and the
fact was demonstrated that many of them
would be very useful in actual conflict.
The battle began at 7 O'Clock and con-
cluded before noon. There were two col
umns in the formation. The first, consist
Ing of the First Vermont, Third Tennessee
and Eighth New York regiments, was com
manded by Colonel Clark of Vermont, and
was formed along the Vinyard road. The
second column, consisting of the Fourteenth
New York, Second Nebraska and First Mis-
souri,, under command Of Colonel Charles
j. Btifs or Nebraska. formed on the Thed-
ford road. and up the first hill the two
columns met, when the struggle was begun
in earnest. When this was finished Cen
eral Grant threw the two columns together
to ward off a supposed attack from some
direction which he was supposed to have
knowledge of in advance. General Grant
was highly pleased with the way in which
the maneuyers We're executed, as were also
General Brooke and all the other officers
present.
Governor Hastings and staff OF Pennsyl-
yania' went to the park at an early hour
and have been spending the day witnessing
the sham battle, inspecting the Pennsyl-
vania troops and driving over the field.
They will remain several days.

is a place by the door of which a barker

about minors leaving the room, the impend-
ing show being for grown men only. Dur
ing his talk he explained that what was TO
follow was an extra, and that an additional
din must be paid by all who witnessed it.
While he was talking he turned to the
screen at the rear of the room and called
out: Are you ready, Maud?" Not
quite answered Maude. The Omaha man
thought he might as we'll see the whole
thing, and put up his extra dime. When
all mad paid the 10 cents the call was re-
peated. Are you ready, Maud?" Yes"
answered Maud, 'let her CO." The curtain
was drawn and there stood Maud in a very
neat bicycle suit, such as every woman in

formed and equipped and is the best or

now on the field is 5000. The Second

about 81, 900.
The uniforms for the First Mississippi

today. All regimental camps are now well
supplied with drinking water. The pipe
line from Crawfsh springs has been COM

The fine driveways through the park are
being literally cut to pieces and must be

work on the roads during the next few
days.
A number of recruiting officers left for
their home states this morning. Under the

for a company of infantry is log men; for
a troop of cavalry 100 men; for a battery
of light artillery 173; a bettery of heavy ar

The health of the camp continues good,

CAMPAIGN IN CUBA
physician Who Knows the Country
Discusses the Dangers from
Disease,

NEW YORK, June 1.-the Medical News.
III It's issue of today, will publish q dis
cusslon of the adyisability of a summer
campaign in Cuba, written by Dr.. d.. F.
Lame OF Philadelphia, who is a Cuban
American, in which he says, in part:
Inc unpreparedness of the hilary branch
OF the government has become so apparent.
ana from all accounts the necessity of n
much larger body of troops to invade the
island SO evident. that / can well under
: srand the hesitation on the part of the
washington authorities to land troops at this
season of the year around Havana and
M'tfh|as' In fact, l am about convinced
tndt unless Havana, in the can
ituiates from lack of food, no troops will be
landed In that province before the month
of October or November.
Around Santiago the conditions are diff
lerent. The country all about Is hilly and
much more healthful and by utilizing the
several thousand insurgents in the neigbbor-
hood FOR the purposes of garrisoning the
city, after its capitulation, the American
troops could be safely encamDed all sum-
mer. under decidedly more advantageous
conditions than at Chickamauga or Tampa.
From the point of view Of a Cuban, this
pacinc blockade, especially If kept up all
summer, means the practical determination
or all the people in these three provinces
rlhar uel Rio, Havana and MatanZas-and
as this war, we are told. was undertaken
for the very purpose of saving these people.
why should American troops not be imme-
diately landed on the island, even IL they
do run the risk of a high death rate from
climatic conditions. etc?
On the Ct.er hand. as Americans wa ara
justified in reasoning the matter. We are
certainly not prepared for such an under
taxing. Our soldiers, mostly men who were
only yesterday clerks and mill hands. are
lot even supplied with one of the most es-
sential and vital things for a summer cam
paign In the tropics. and that is, suita bic
ciothing. In such an undertaking we know
the climate does not influence mortality as
much as deficient preparation and lack OF
organization; therefore. let us take into con-
leans. as against these unfortunates, who.
perhaps. are already beyond any human aid.
This pacific blockade will certainly force
Havana to capituiate long before October,
ana by that time We shall have a thoroughly
trained ana properly equipped body OF
troops.
