The War Department Is devoting con-

to preparation for the Santiago expedi-

The intention is TO recruit the quotas

strength. and it is considered the best
military policy to perfect their organiza-
tion before attempting 10 raise a new

Under the first cali. I25.0OO men have

the present organization

For the abaung Of a nuisance three
kinds OF knowledge are necessary:
First, to know that something is the
matter; second, to know what the mat
ter is; third, to know how to make
things right. The country is just wax
ing up TO the fact that our camps Of
volunteer soldiers are likely to become
a nuisance to themselves before they
have a chance to produce that effect
on the enemy.
Large companies of men brought to-
gether in one place are liable to par
ticular annoyances, due to crowding,
confusion and inadequate supplies.
This is thoroughly understood by most
old Army officers and there are some
things which they viii consider in Sc
lecting a camping-place which would
never occur to the average civilian.
The Army veteran, for instance. knows
that one of the most important things
in camp is a supply of pure water
Given camping ground which has
the water where il should be-in
stream or a spring, and not under the
mems biankets-and a regiment will be
happy and contented on prison fare.
For some reason or other, complaints
are coming from more than one camp
ing ground Of our volunteer soldiers
that water is scarce even for drinking
purposes, and positively inaccess BILE
for bathing. This is particularly nota-
bic at Camp Alger. Drinking water is
scarce. and the little there is to be had
is not good at all, and as for a bath.
the only chance the boys have had to
battle is furnished by a hard rain, and
some people do not like shower baths.
1t seems rather queer that in a country
where there is as much water scat
tered around as there is here, with the
whole Potomac River not so very far
from Camp Alger. recruits for a war
in behalf OF humanity should be forced
TO endure heat, thirst and at least one
of the plaques of Egypt before leaving
their native land
But this is only one item in the gen.

ADJOURNED TO FRIDAY.
The Telephone Hearing Yesterday
Was Largely Informal.


Was Largely Informal.
When the House select committee ao-
pointed to investigate the affairs of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany met yesterday morning to resume
its hearing, President Bryan appeared
for the company and asked that the
hearing be postponed for another week,
since his counsel. Judge Wilson. was de-
tanned at the Canty murder trial
After some hesitation the committee
agreed to adjourn until Friday.
Mr.. Bryan submitted some voluminous
tabulated evidence, and proceeded TO ex-
plain IT.
In the midst of this rather informal
hearing there was an unexpected interrupt
ton occasioned by the arrival of Mr..
George Albree. of Boston. a telephone ex-
pert of wide experience, who was for ten
years connected with the American Bell
Company.
He asked permission to address the
committee at its convenience and prom
ised to submit valuable information anent
the subject under consideration. He had
personally engaged in an exhaustive in
vestigation of telephone charges and serv-
ice in this and other countries. and believ-
ing that the action of this Congressional
committee would establish the first per-
manent precedent on a widely discussed
subject he hoped an opportunity would
be given him TO offer the evidence and
information acquired during a wide ex-
perience in the business Mr. Albree fur
ther declared that he had not been sum
moned in the interest of either side in
this particular investigation, but that a
personal interest in the future of the
telephone business urged his appearance
before the committee. He viii probably

that the factories which make such
things, though running overtime, still
cannot supply so sudden and unprece
ago the authorities in charge of Uncle
Sans wardrobe knew that many NIL
lions of uniform trousers would be
needed within very short time. and
it was only a. few days ago that a.
requisition went in for these very nee
essary articles. What is the matter?
Is it red tape? Red tape was said to
be tangled around the ice that was so
badly needed for the sufferers in the
hospital, and red tape has been found
snarled up in some other things that
were wanted in a hurry: and the coun-
try in general is beginning TO ask what
IS the use Of so much red tape, any
way.
Altogether. the lack of uniforms and
munitions OF war for an army which
is likely to be needed within few
short months is a thing which, if Ii
were not so, serious, would be a ma
tional joke. 1t may be said, as one of
the officials at the War Department is
reported to have said, that this horTid
war has thrown everything into con-
fusion, so that the department VII not
work properly But in that case the
mixed condition of the department
whose business it is to know about
war, at a time when that department
should be more than ever active and
ready for business, reminds one of
something which happened the other
day in New York There was a fire in
a tenement house. and a young woman
who had just escaped the flames rush
ed franticaIly up TO a policeman and
begged him to rescue her fiVe-day-old
baby. He made a dash up a ladder,
smashed a window. found a small.
kicking object bundled up in a blanket,
and bore it down the ladder just as the
smoke rolled in thick clouds from the
window of the room. AS he gave it to
the mother he asked her why she didn't
see about it herself, and she said that
the baby was so small and so new that
she hadn't got used to having it
around. 1t may be that our volunteer
army is so small and so new that the
War Department is not yet wCnted to
it; but in that case all good citizens

At the Harhor.s Moufl,.

To a great extent we Were indebted
last night 10 our friends the enemy for
information with regard to Commodore
Schley's action against the defenses
Of Santiago de Cuba The Navy De-
partment was as innocent Of confessed
knowledge as q new born babe is Of
politics. For all the War Beard would
say that it knew, il might have been
conclave Of deceased kuklux. Probably
1t was not overloaded with Information.
Indications were not wanting that
Commodore SchIey had concluded TO
20 il alone for a few hours. and do
scme Of his own fighting.
From Spanish sources it was report
ed that on Tuesday, somewhere about
noon, our scouts discovered the Cris-
tobaI Colon sticking her ncse out Of
the entrance to the port, whereupon, as
vas proper. a salute was fired at 50
DISTINGUISHED a vessel. Then the MORO
Castle took part in the discussion. as
did Cther fCrts and batteries called by
the NAMES Of celebrated Spanish
saints and sinners. Unless the Span
iards in Santiago, who are said to have
sent the news TO Cape -Ha.tien' lie to
their own detriment, the principal for
tifcation of the harbor, the Mcrrc Cas-
lie. was knocked into the condition OF
q hopeless ruin. Other works suffered
in a degree hot ascertained. The Girls
tobaI Colon, after exchanging shots
with our squadron. retired behind a
headland. there to reflect that th-ngs
are different since the tina Of her name
sake in 1892. and amused herself by
firing shells over the hill into the open
sea. which was a foolish waste Of am
lnunition, because the range Of ouI
war vessels was not ascerta;ned and
the shots fell harmlessIy into the Carib-
bean depths.
Perhaps We shall have details this
morning; PERHAPS not The task Of
wiping out Santiago's shore and chan
mel obsructions does not seem 10 have
been completed at the time Of latest re-
turns, but the reports are encouraging.
Cervera does not seem able TO get away
from the trap, and Schley does appear
TO be in a position TO make it con-
tinuously warm for him. Arguing from
the asserted success of our guns in an
Initiating the Moro Castle, Schley
should be able very completely TO rest
the strength OF the enemy's batteries. ''
He should be fixed TO clean them out
entirely. When he has done so We may
hear all about it.
Fortunately for SchIey he is inco-
municado. When he lifts the veil, ii
is probable that the Navy Department
may do the same thing.

also agreed to authorizing in addition to
the packages OF tobacco now authorized
by law a package containing one and
three-quarter ounces and one containing
three and a half ounces. These amend
ments, IL was explained, were made so
that dealers would not have 10 change
the price of the and 10 cent packages. It
simply makes the packages little small
er in order to make up for the tax The
mode of collecting the tax OF dealers in
leaf tobacco is changed, and the amount
IS to be ascertaiued by the number OF
pounds sold instead of the number OF dol
lars worth. The provision as accepted
reads that dealers whose annual sales
shall not exceed 81, ,069 pounds shall pay S..
and dealers whose sales shall not exceed
100, 900 pounds annually shall pay Sl2- The
same mode of collecting is also applied TO
dealers in manufactured tobacco. In ref
erenee 10 dealers in cigars it provides a S6
tax for dealers whose sales do not exceed
1000 and sl2 tax for those whose sales
do not exceed 2a0, 900.
Mr. German then offered his amend
ment as a substitute for the section pro-
viding a tax on express and freight. A
vote was taken and the amendment re-
jeeted. twenty-seyen senator's voting for
it and thirty-four against it.
Mr.. Pettigrew then offered an amend
ment practically the same as the German
amendment, but making no exemption of

Mr.. White then offered an amendment
